CLEVELAND -- Making good on his promise to be part of the solution, Browns running back Isaiah Crowell attended the weekend funeral of one of the five Dallas police officers slain in a recent attack by a gunman.Crowell had come under heavy criticism for posting a gruesome illustration on social media of an officer being killed following the shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota by police. While he expressed regret and offered to donate one game check of $35,000 to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, Crowell wanted to do more and accepted an invitation to go to the funeral for officer Patrick Zamarripa on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.Crowell was invited by the foundations president, Sgt. Demetrick Pennie, who chronicled his interactions at the service with Crowell on a lengthy Facebook posting.During the visit, he met with several police officers from across the country, who expressed their appreciation for him seeking forgiveness for his actions and having the courage to admit that he was wrong and making an attempt to redress the problem, Pennie wrote. Crowell expressed his deepest condolences for the loss of our officers and stated that he would be willing to return in the future to assist the survivors in Dallas in honoring the sacrifices of their loved ones.A Browns spokesman said Crowell spent eight hours with Pennie, who commended the 26-year-old for accepting responsibility for his actions.Based on my interactions, I am confident that the policing community now has a supporter in Mr. Crowell, Pennie said. Personally, I would like to commend Isaiah Crowell for the courage of principled accountability.Crowell, who led the Browns with 706 yards rushing last season, deleted his controversial post moments after publishing it. However, saved screenshots went viral and the Browns felt public pressure to release him.Crowell issued two apologies, one a prepared statement and another on video in which he said he was sorry and committed to doing whatever I can to create open dialogue between my communities and the police who serve them.Crowell also made a personal apology to Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams. While expressing their disappointment, the Browns have said theyll support Crowell as long as he continues to take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post.Crowell and Clevelands other veteran players are due to report to training camp on July 28.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max 1 Black And White . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- With an easy smile and a stress-free attitude, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said his team is right where it expected to be and ready for the next challenge.The third-ranked Tigers (12-1, No. 2 College Football Playoff) returned to campus this week to start practice for its national semifinal matchup with No. 2 Ohio State (11-1; No. 3 CFP) at the Fiesta Bowl on New Years Eve.If Swinney is concerned about Clemsons mindset or the pressure of trying to reach the national title game again after last years runner-up finish to Alabama, he didnt show it Tuesday as he stood in the programs festively decorated team room.At the end of day, were where we wanted to be, Swinney said. We wanted to be in the final four, thats where we are. Weve got a shot to get back to the championship.Oh, Swinney said there will be lots of time to zero in on the Buckeyes stellar defense and knack for making the decisive play on offense when it counts most. Right now, hell focus getting the Tigers football legs back under them before leaving for Arizona on Dec. 26.For Swinney, that means re-committing to football fundamentals that may have gotten sloppy in Clemsons weekly grind to the Atlantic Coast Conference title, which the Tigers captured earlier this month with a 42-35 win over Virginia Tech . Hell have the Tigers best players go against each other like the do during August scrimmages, something teams dont always have the luxury of doing much once the regular-season starts.Clemsons staff has been locked onto the Buckeyes since re-gathering this past weekend and Swinney said nearly all preparations for the Fiesta Bowl will be complete before the team leaves campus the day after Christmas. Hes been on other staffs where coaches have left key parts of game plans under wraps until the handful of bowl-site workouts -- which Swinney believes can lead to problematic results.Its really not the best environment to get major work done that late, he said. Game week is about details, its polishing.The Tigers haave players whove been polished to a lustrous shine in recent seasons.ddddddddddddSwinney believes his experienced group will approach the game the way they have each week of the regular season and as they did before last years title game. Eight Clemson offensive starters played in the 45-40 loss to Alabama last January. The Tigers have remained in the moment and have not let themselves peek too far ahead as this season unfolded.Its about just be great where your feet are, Swinney said.Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said the week is about reminding players to go fast, but with discipline.We try and give our guys a refresher course, he said.Ben Boulware, who won the Jack Lambert Award last week as college footballs top linebacker, said the Tigers havent forgotten the sick feeling in the locker room after the Alabama loss in the same stadium that theyll play Ohio State. Boulware said he and his teammates have rallied around leaving that stadium as winners this time.The hunger has been there from day one, been there since January, he said. It will continue to be there until the last game.Returning to practice was also a return to normalcy for Clemsons Deshaun Watson, who won the Davey OBrien and Johnny Unitas awards this month. However, he finished behind Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson for the Heisman Trophy and ACC player of the year.On Tuesday, Watson also was runner-up to Jackson in The Associated Press college football Player of the Year voting.Swinney said his quarterback has put the award season behind him and is preparing to leave Clemson with a national championship.He said it best himself, he just wants to win. That stuffs so subjective, the coach said of the awards. But the trophy they give you after the last game of the season is played, there aint no vote on that one. That ones earned.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
