OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Terrell Suggs wore a gladiators mask during introductions at a Baltimore Ravens game this season in an effort to boost the spirit of his teammates for a duel with the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.The stunt earned him a $5,512 fine from the NFL. It also aptly displayed the mentality Suggs brings to the field on game day, that of a fun-loving warrior.Hes entertaining and passionate at the same time, Ravens safety Will Hill said. Youre going to have fun, but its about business, too. You can see how dedicated and involved he is, not just with this organization but the game of football. Hes going to give his all on every snap, and he demands that from every player on the field with him.Ever since his mentor, Ray Lewis, stepped into retirement, Suggs has taken over as the leader and spokesman for Baltimores traditionally rugged defence. Its no coincidence that Suggs, like Lewis, is the last member of the unit to be introduced at home.After the kickoff, the real fun begins — at home or away.I love playing football, Suggs said. It doesnt matter where Im at.Suggs will often jabber at the competition and opposing fans, but his main job at outside linebacker is to help Baltimore win.Suggs broke into the NFL as a brash 20-year-old. Over the course of a dozen years, hes learned when to bark at an opponent and when to show respect.As the Ravens (11-6) prepare to face the New England Patriots (12-4) for the right to play in the AFC title game, Suggs has chosen the latter approach.In the past, Suggs insisted that New England quarterback Tom Brady received preferential treatment from referees. He also said: I dont like him, he dont like me. I dont like his hair.This week, Suggs toned it down to this: Hes a quarterback; Im a defender. He has a job to do, and so do I. Naturally, there are going to be some disagreements there.In eight career games against New England, Suggs has 20 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. If he continues to play as he has this season, hes sure to add to those numbers.Suggs started all 16 games and ranked third on the team with 61 tackles. He had 12 sacks, tied for the second most in his career, and his between-the-legs interception last weekend helped seal Baltimores 30-17 playoff win over Pittsburgh.It looks like its his third year out there, Brady said. Hes the leader of that defence, he makes great plays. ... I have a lot of respect for his ability to play the game at a high level. Hes phenomenal.Heard of that assessment, Suggs grinned and said, Did they record him? Like, they had a camera?Suggs says hes maintained a high level of play over the years because he got an early start to his career and has benefited from coach John Harbaughs tendency to occasionally give veterans time off during the practice week.It does help coming into the league at 20, Suggs said. I wasnt like 23 or 24 when I came. I dont know, I think the past couple years coach has been doing a good job taking care of me, backing off the reps in camp and backing off the reps down the stretch.On and off the field, Suggs has applied lessons learned from Lewis, safety Ed Reed and even Deion Sanders, who wrapped up his career with Baltimore in 2004-05.Ive had the privilege to be around real professionals, real vets, and not only just gods of the game, but guys that really know how to work and stay around the game for a long time, Suggs said. I had the luxury and the pleasure of being around guys like that. I got to learn it firsthand.Now, Suggs is one of the main figures in the Baltimore locker room.You have to have an emotional leader, and Suggs is definitely our emotional leader, Harbaugh said. Hes fun; he keeps things loose. He always has high energy. A lot of energy, a lot of focus — thats what he says.I enjoy him. I know that, and the rest of the guys do. Along those lines, hes never not ready to play at the highest possible level, and he does that week in and week out.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLCheap Air Jordan 1 .

Kershaw knows its only June. But what a month its been for the Dodgers and their incredible left-hander. Kershaw struck out 13 during seven innings of five-hit ball, and Andre Ethier hit a three-run homer in the Dodgers 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Kershaw (9-2) extended his career-best scoreless streak to 28 innings in his first home start since throwing his first no-hitter June 18 against Colorado. He went 6-0 with an 0.82 ERA in June, yielding four runs in 44 innings and striking out 61. "More importantly, weve just won every game," Kershaw said. "Were on a good run. In a long season, well go on a bunch of runs. Weve just got to make sure the lowest points arent as low." The Dodgers have had nothing but high points lately: With 12 wins in 16 games, Los Angeles (47-37) has pulled virtually even with the slumping Giants (46-36) atop the NL West. The Dodgers were 9 1/2 games behind San Francisco on June 8, but erased the entire deficit in three weeks. "When we were struggling early, I think everyone knew in the back of their minds that we could turn it around," Kershaw said. "Coming back and tying up the Giants in a month is not something we expected, just like we didnt expect to go 42-8 last year, but we have that ability." Kershaws bid for back-to-back home no-hitters lasted exactly two pitches before Matt Carpenter lined a single to left. Although he walked two and retired the side in order just once, Kershaw never allowed a runner to reach third base while getting at least one strikeout in each inning. Kershaw still finished strong by striking pinch-hitter Jon Jay and Carpenter to end the seventh, earning a loud standing ovation from the Dodger Stadium crowd. Hes been the best pitcher in the world (lately)," said Matt Kemp, who drove in the Dodgers first run. "You get a day off from your legs sometimes when hes pitching, because you dont have to run too much (in the field)." The Dodgers took three of four from St. Louis in a rematch of last seasons NL championship series. Ethier capped Los Angeles four-run fifth inning with a shot to right off Shelby Miller (7--7) for his first homer since May 27.dddddddddddd Carpenter had three hits for the Cardinals, who were shut out twice in the four-game series. "We had a couple of guys on with leadoff hits, and the next thing you know, theyre still standing on the bag they started on," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "A couple of times we had guys in scoring position, but (Kershaw) just wasnt giving us much. Hes locked in." Indeed, St. Louis had little chance on another vintage day for Kershaw, who hasnt allowed a run since June 13. His 28-inning scoreless streak is the fifth-longest in franchise history, trailing only a whos-who of Dodgers luminaries: Orel Hershiser, Don Drysdale, Don Sutton and Sandy Koufaxe. Kershaw has the longest streak since Hershisers record 59-inning run in 1988. "Its tough," Miller said of his pitching matchup. "Knowing what hes capable of and doing what hes doing, you know youve got to do the same thing. Its just frustrating when you give up runs and give up those big innings. You give them a lot of momentum." Miller gave up seven hits and six runs in five innings for St. Louis, which is among the few teams with a history of success against Kershaw. The two-time Cy Young winner entered the game just 4-5 with a 3.75 ERA against the Cardinals. Adrian Gonzalez got the Dodgers first hit in the fourth inning by bunting into the wide-open space near third base created by the Cardinals severe defensive shift. After Kemp drove in Yasiel Puig, Gonzalez scored on Juan Uribes sacrifice fly. Puig hustled for a two-out double in the fifth, and Gonzalez drove him in. After Kemp doubled, Ethier connected for just his fourth homer of the season, setting off a dance party in the Dodgers dugout when he returned. NOTES: Dodgers starters have walked two or fewer batters in 33 straight games, the longest NL streak in a century. ... Uribe committed an error in the ninth, ending the Dodgers streak at nine errorless games, their longest in a decade. ... Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez sat out with tightness in his left calf, one day after returning to the lineup from a four-game absence with a sore right shoulder. Manager Don Mattingly said Ramirez might be headed to the disabled list. ... The Cardinals recalled RHP Jorge Rondon from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, and he made his major league debut Sunday, pitching a hitless seventh inning. ' ' '
