BUFFALO, N. Terry OReilly Jersey .Y. - Buffalo Bills fans are rallying to support Darryl Talley after the teams former star linebacker revealed he is dealing with depression and experiencing financial difficulties.As of noon Monday, more than 3,000 contributors have donated nearly $139,000 on a fundraising website set up to assist Talley and his family.Its completely overwhelming, said Frank Croisdale, a longtime Bills fan who established the campaign (http://www.gofundme.com/hvkgjo# ) on Thanksgiving Day.I had hopes that it would spur some involvement from people, but I had no idea it was going to be such a nationwide effort.Croisdale set up the fund shortly after reading about Talleys troubles in a lengthy story published in The Buffalo News.Talley said he was experiencing bouts of memory loss, had trouble sleeping and had contemplated suicide in what he considered to be side effects from his hard-hitting playing days. He said he lives in constant pain as a result of the 14 operations he had during his 14-season NFL career spanning 1983-96.Im not convinced that Im dead yet, said Talley, who played his first 12 seasons in Buffalo. But the future doesnt look bright.The two-time Pro Bowl selection and member of the Bills Wall of Fame also noted that he is having difficulty making ends meet after the company he owned was forced to close during the 2008 financial crisis.Former Bills teammates, including Hall of Famers Bruce Smith and Thurman Thomas, have provided monetary assistance to Talley and his wife to rent their home in Orlando, Florida. They also assisted in paying part of his daughters college tuition.Croisdale said the fund has also attracted attention in West Virginia, where Talley played college, and even from fans of the Bills AFC East rival Miami Dolphins.When you talk about bridging the divide between Bills and Dolphins fans, youve done something, Croisdale said. Its humbling. Its heartwarming. Ive shed so many tears over the past few days, and its been amazing.Croisdale has been in contact with Talleys wife, Janine, and said its unclear yet how the family will deal with the donations.Croisdale said the fund is set up in a way that only the Talleys have access to the money raised, minus a 5 per cent fee to the website, and a 2.9 per cent credit card-processing fee.Darryl Talley did not return a phone and text message on Monday.Thurman Thomas wife, Patti, said the response makes her proud to call Buffalo home.Its a beautiful thing when people give of their time and money to anyone in need without judging their situation: They just give, she said. The Talleys didnt expect it, and have not stopped crying over the support for their family.Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly showed his support by wearing Talleys No. 56 jersey while waving the teams flag during player introductions before Buffalos home game against Cleveland on Sunday.Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy is heartened by the support.Its just wonderful. It attests to what I always thought about Buffalo fans: Theyre the best, Levy said. Their response to someone like Darryl Talley represents the sense of community there is there.In speaking with his former player over the weekend, Levy said Talley seemed very uplifted to hear about the tremendously positive responses hes received.Levy wondered if the Bills might have a role for Talley in alumni or player relations.I would hope they might consider bringing him in, Levy said. Because if he came in and went to work on something, he would go at it like you cant believe.The Bills declined comment.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Milan Lucic Jersey . -- A year ago, Flavia Pennetta was close to retiring from tennis.

LOUIS - The St.TORONTO - Forward Kelly Russell will lead a balanced Canadian side at the IRB Womens Rugby World Cup in Paris this summer. The 27-year-old captain from Bolton, Ont., one of 26 women named to coach Francois Ratiers roster Monday, will be looking to erase the memories of a disappointing sixth-place finish at the 2010 tournament. The Canadian womens best result is fourth, achieved at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 tournaments. Other returning veterans of the 2010 tournament are Kim Donaldson, Mandy Marchak, Barbara Mervin, Julia Sugawara, Brittany Waters and Julianne Zussman. Five or six players were unavailable for selection due to injury or sevens commitments. "This is the 26 best players we had available," said Ratier, who took over the Canadian women in March 2013. "My goal at the beginning was to have a balanced squad between veterans and new players — experience and fresh minds," he added. "At the end, thats what I have." The youngsters include 19-year-old fly half Emily Belchos. New Zealand has won the last four womens World Cups, beating England in the final of the last three tournaments. Canada can take confidence from staying close to the Black Ferns in 33-21 and 16-8 losses on tour in June. "We were pretty pleased about the performance in New Zealand," said Ratier. "But we didnt show everything. So we keep some surprises, maybe. Well see. "We are not so far (behind). In a World Cup, in one game, you never know." Russell plays No. 8 at the back of the scrum, one of several positions that Ratier considers the spine of his team. The others are hooker (Donaldson and Mary-Jane Kirby), scrum half (Stephanie Bernier), fly half (Belchos is one of several contenders) and fullback (Elissa Alarie). "She (Russell), for me, is the centre of this spine — because of her experience, the way she leads and the good communication between her and I" said Ratier. Russells younger sister Laura is also on the World Cup roster. The 12-team tournament runs Aug. 1-17 in France. Canada has been placed in Pool A with Spain, Samoa and England. Canada opens against Spain, a team it beat at the 1991 and 2006 World Cups, on Aug 1 before facing Samoa on Aug. 5 and England on Aug. 9. Canada has never played Samoa. The Canadian women beat a young England sqquad 27-13 last summer but lost 30-3 when they met again last November. Jaromir Jagr Jersey. Only the three pool winners and the best-placed runner-up team advance to the semifinals. "Obviously in our pool, England is the favourite," said Ratier. "Its a fact. So it forces us to win and score a lot of points against Spain and Samoa." Ratier, a native of France who came to Canada 11 years ago and now makes his home in Montreal, has also coached the Rugby Club de Montreal (2003-2008), Concordia University (2007-2008) and the Quebec provincial team. He was also technical director of the Quebec Union and assistant coach with The Rock and Canada ‘A in 2009. In addition, he has worked with the Canada U-17 mens side. The Canadian women will gather for a one-week training camp in France prior to the tournament.
