ening day defeat to the Detroit Lions , and Pagano ruled him

RIO DE JANEIRO -- There is no doubt about it: Mo Farah is among the best long-distance runners of all time.The British great produced one of his trademark controlled runs, topped with a blistering finish, to win the 5,000-meter gold medal on Saturday and cap his second straight Olympic long-distance double.Its every athletes dream but I cant believe it, the 33-year-old Farah said. I just want to go home now and see my beautiful kids and hang my medals around their necks.On Saturday, there was no crash to worry about -- even though a fall in last weeks 10,000 failed to stop him from claiming gold. His unstoppable kick over the last two laps did it this time, and as hard as his two Ethiopian rivals tried to shake him off early, there was no way to deny Farah at the Rio de Janeiro Games.Youre a target, youre a target. The guys watch you race and they know what you are good at, Farah said.Farah came into the final stretch in the lead, and that means its over. His arms open wide, his eyes closed in ecstasy, Farah crossed the line as the first runner in 40 years to win back-to-back long-distance doubles at the Olympics.Farah already won the 10,000-meter race in Rio to go along with his two gold medals from the same events in London four years ago. The last man to win both distance races in consecutive Olympics was Finnish great Lasse Viren at the 1972 Munich and 1976 Montreal Games.Farah won in 13 minutes, 3.30 seconds. Paul Chelimo of the United States took silver and Hagos Gebrhiwet of Ethiopia got bronze.On the medal stand, Farah put his fingers on top of his head for the heart-shaped Mobot move, as well-known to long-distance running fans as Usain Bolts To the World pose is to everyone else.This medal is for my son, said Farah, who has four children and four gold medals. When Im gone, all my kids will have something of me.After another standout Olympics, Farah is ranking ever higher among the best runners in history. Kenenisa Bekele, with three Olympic and five world titles? Swept by him. Farah now has four Olympic gold medals and five world championship titles.In the shrouds of history, there is still Emil Zatopek of the Czech Republic and Paavo Nurmi of Finland, but the changes in competition make an accurate comparison impossible. Nurmi has nine Olympic gold medals from the 1920 and 1924 Olympics, while Zatopek won the 5,000, 10,000 and marathon at the 1952 Helsinki Games.Its easier to call him long distance runnings answer to Bolt, the man who came over to embrace Farah in the warmup zone ahead of the race.Its not as if he needed the help, but he still won while several of the runners behind him caused a bit of confusion.Three competitors, including second-place finisher Chelimo, were initially disqualified. That meant American teammate Bernard Lagat would get bronze. But the decision was rescinded a short time later and Chelimo was reinstated to silver, while Lagat was pushed back to fifth.None of that affected Farah.Starting at the back, the experienced runner slowly made his way up and found himself in an ideal position with two laps to go, hugging the inside of the track and with only open space ahead of him.When Gebrhiwet tried to cut him off, he smartly used his wiry frame to deny him and cement his position among the all-time greats.I controlled it and I wasnt going to let anyone pass me, Farah said, and then in the end I just used my speed.---Follow Raf Casert on Twitter at http://twitter.com/rcasert Buccaneers Jerseys China Cheap .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.

WATFORD, England -- The last time they played the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Indianapolis Colts suffered a 51-16 beating. Now the Colts seek redemption in London.They beat our butts good, they embarrassed us, so Im sure theyre confident, coach Chuck Pagano told reporters Friday following the Colts first training session on British soil ahead of Sundays matchup at Wembley Stadium .While the Jaguars are veterans of the trans-Atlantic trip, having played in Wembley for the past three years, this will be Indianapolis first regular-season game overseas. On their charter flight across the pond, key players got the comforts of first class, many others the relative discomfort of sleeping on three economy-class cushions.Several players said they were feeling the challenge of the five-hour time zone switch following a training session starting around 8 a.m. Indianapolis time. All were told to sleep on the plane and stay awake in London all day, no matter what their hearts and heads might tell them.Right now I feel like taking a nap, but I know thats not the smartest thing to do, said defensive end Kendall Langford, who has played in London during his time with the then-St. Louis Rams.If you talked to me about three hours ago Id have said I felt like death ... but Im acclimating, said left tackle Anthony Castonzo.While he didnt play in the Dec. 13, 2015, defeat to the Jaguars, Castonzo said the entire team remembers the embarrassment of letting the Jaguars score a touchdown on every single second-half possession.Anytime a team beats you like that youve got a sour taste in your mouth. You always want to come out and redeem yourself, he said.O-LINE WOES: The left side of the Colts offensive line looks impressive with two first-rounders in Castonzo and rookie center Ryan Kelly, and second-rounder Jack Mewhort.But the right side remains a patchwork mystery with both would-be starters, guard Denzelle Good and tackle Joe Reitz, limited by lingering injuries. Pagano said Friday it could be a game-time decision whether Good or Reitz plays.While rookie swingman Joe Haeg performed ably in his first start last week at both right guard and right tackle, another potential substitute, Jon Harrison,, was ruled out Wednesday after undergoing an emergency appendectomy in Indianapolis.dddddddddddd. Pagano confirmed the Colts might need to dip into their practice squad for line depth Sunday.HEALTHIER ON D: The Colts defense has surrendered 95 points through three games, third worst in the NFL, chiefly because of an injury-riddled secondary. That picture got worse at the start of the week with outside linebacker Trent Coles surprise placement on injured reserve, depleting the Colts already thin pass-rush options.But the two starting cornerbacks should finally be on the field together Sunday for the first time this season. Vontae Davis returned from a monthlong ankle injury in last weeks 26-22 win over the San Diego Chargers . Patrick Robinson, who suffered a concussion in the Colts Week 2 loss to the Denver Broncos , returned to full practice Wednesday and is expected to start opposite Davis.Primary slot cornerback Darius Butler is still nursing a hamstring injury picked up in the opening day defeat to the Detroit Lions , and Pagano ruled him out of action for Wembley. Principally filling his place is veteran Antonio Cromartie.WHOS THE HOME TEAM? The Jaguars are officially the home team in London -- even though they had to travel 259 miles (417 kilometers) farther to reach their home than the visiting Colts.Indianapolis 3,987-mile (6,416-kilometer) journey was a mere 7 hours, 50 minutes by air, a half-hour shorter than its home counterparts.GUTEN APPETIT! Andrew Luck spent much of his childhood in London and Frankfurt, Germany, where his father Oliver worked as president of NFL Europe.While the focus Friday was on Lucks London roots, a German broadcaster couldnt resist offering him some continental hospitality -- with a surprise presentation of a plate of schnitzel .A smiling Luck, still sweaty from practice, took the plate but told the German broadcaster: I might have to wash my hands before I eat this. Luck said he appreciated the dish and added vielen Dank, German for many thanks.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
