4. Steve Carrell & Paul Rudd Re-Create The DecisionIts been four years since LeBron James took part in one of the biggest PR blunders in the history of sports, a fiasco that he has since been exonerated from with his decision to return home. To some, LeBrons decision was about as about as necessary of an announcement as the one acted out by Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd in this classic ESPYs sketch.3. Peyton Manning - The Worlds Most Interesting ManBefore this years Super Bowl, Peyton Mannings critics talked about the one think he couldnt do; win big games. But this ESPYs sketch takes a look at all of the other amazing things Manning is capable of. Apparently, he is the real worlds most interesting man.2. Ron Howard Directs the New York MetsBefore Ron Howard directed Rush, the biopic on Formula 1 drivers Nikki Lauda and John Hunt, he made it known he knew little about race car driving, but thats what interested him so much in creating the film. We can only assume those were the exact sentiments Howard held when he agreed to direct the New York Mets in this ESPYs sketch in 2005.1. Justin Timberlake Was There For Every Great Sports Moment of 2008Justin Timberlake was arguably the best host in ESPYs history, combining his excellent acting chops, with a flare for really buying into a comedy sketch. We could debate about who really was the best host in the award shows history -- or we could just sit back and enjoy JT work his magic in this amazingly hilarious sketch. Ken Daneyko Jersey . -- Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson couldnt hear himself amid the roar in Koch Arena, so he kept stomping on the floor in a fruitless attempt to get his teams attention. Martin Brodeur Jersey . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. http://www.devilssale.com/authentic-jami...-devils-jersey/. - Even with a new coach, the Denver Nuggets still love to push the basketball. Scott Stevens Jersey . Make the extra pass, take care of the ball, play defence and get more out of his bench. Custom New Jersey Devils Jerseys . -- New York Yankees centre fielder Jacoby Ellsbury was sent for an MRI Thursday of his ailing right calf, which was negative.VANCOUVER - Radim Vrbata has two goals for the Vancouver Canucks final pre-season game: do well and stay healthy.You want both. I think you want to play as close as you to can to how youre going to play the first game of the season, said the veteran winger. You want to be close to the top of your play as a team and as individuals.Everybodys gearing up to that first game.The Canucks wrap up their exhibition schedule Saturday night at home against the Edmonton Oilers before the regular season gets underway Wednesday in Calgary against the Flames.Players and coaches probably look at (the pre-season finale) a little different, Vancouver head coach Willie Desjardins said after Fridays practice at Rogers Arena. I want to see it as This is how were going to play. The players probably see it as I want to get out of this healthy.I want to push us and I want us to have a good game.Saturday will mark a final tuneup for some players, while for others it will be a last chance to make an impression with Vancouvers decision makers.Im looking to ramp it right up, said Canucks forward Zack Kassian, who has missed time with a lower-body injury. Its one more until the real deal starts, so theres no sitting back. Theres no feeling it out.Linden Vey has bounced between centre and the wing during pre-season a€” as well as playing on the first power-play unit a€” and looks to have cemented a job with the Canucks after being acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings.Its the last one so you want to make sure to bring your best effort. This is what everybodys been gearing up for all summer, said Vey. Were looking forward to it. This is the time of year you want to be playing. This is the last chance to get everything ready to go for the start of the year.Canucks goalie Miller, who like Vrbata signed with the team in the off-season, said hes still getting comfortable in the crease and is learning the tendencies of his teammates a€” especially the defencemen.I think were moving in the right direction and I just want to keep doing my part, said Miller. Theres always more to do. Its never finished, so its always going to be a process but its feeling good a€” just getting things underway here has been exciting.Trying to have good intensity, good focus, get things movingg and get your mind right for the regular season.ddddddddddddn the other side is Nicklas Jensen, who is still with the big club but remains in a tenuous position. He and fellow forward Bo Horvat a€” who suffered a shoulder contusion on Thursday in Edmonton that isnt considered serious a€” are battling for a spot up front.And with Horvat on the shelf for a few days, Jensen has one more chance to impress.Im happy with how Ive played, said the 21-year-old Dane. Theres some stuff I know I could have done a little bit better and I wanted to change, but theres also some stuff Im very happy about. The fact that Ive been consistent over all the games has been good.Desjardins said he has been impressed with how all the youngsters have competed.(Jensen) has been pretty good all year. He skates well, hes opened up ice well, said the rookie coach. He hasnt looked out of place, but I think you could say the same with Bo Horvat. He hasnt looked out of place either.Our lineup should be hard to crack. It should be tough for guys to get in. The good thing is these guys are pushing hard and theyre making the choices harder.One of those choices was to send Hunter Shinkaruk down to the AHLs Utica Comets on Friday. A former first-round pick like both Jensen and Horvat, the Canucks felt the 19-year-old forward needed more time to develop.Hes got to get a more all-around game, said Desjardins. I thought he was good offensively. I thought there were times that he showed real well and thats what we want out of him. We want him to be a guy that loves to score, a guy thats quick on the attack, and I think he showed those things. But he needs more experience at the pro level.To get his game to the best it can be he needs a little more time.Like a lot of young players, Desjardins said the defensive side of the game is something Shinkaruk needs to work on, and that the demotion should be a positive for his development in the long run.What you want as a young player is when you get (to the NHL) you want to be able to stay, said Desjardins. You dont want to come up and then lose your confidence and then get sent down because that could really hurt your career. I think hell get more confidence the next time hes up by playing down in the American Hockey League. ' ' '
