(STATS) -- The top candidates for national offensive and defensive player of the year headline the 2016 STATS FCS All-America Team, announced Tuesday.Quarterbacks Jeremiah Briscoe of Sam Houston State and Gage Gubrud of Eastern Washington and Eagles wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who have been invited to the announcement of the STATS FCS Walter Payton Award, along with Missouri State linebacker Dylan Cole and defensive ends P.J. Hall of Sam Houston State and Karter Schult of Northern Iowa, the three at the announcement of the STATS FCS Buck Buchanan Award, are part of the All-America team that features 100 players from 60 schools across all 13 FCS conferences.CAA Football has the most All-Americans with 16, one more than the Missouri Valley Football Conference, which had the most first-team selections with seven, and the Southern (12) and the Big Sky (11) conferences also reached double figures. Charleston Southern, James Madison and North Dakota State had the high among schools with four selections each.The first-team quarterback honors between Briscoe and Gubrud will be determined by the Payton Award voting, whose top three will be revealed January 6 at the STATS FCS Awards Banquet in Frisco, Texas.Briscoe, a redshirt junior, set the FCS single-season record with 57 touchdown passes and threw for 4,602 yards for Sam Houston, which was the only unbeaten FCS team in the regular season. Gubrud, a redshirt sophomore, set the FCS record with 5,160 passing yards and threw 48 touchdowns. He led the nation with 5,766 total yards, just 33 shy of Steve McNairs FCS record at Alcorn State in 1994.Nobody knows the All-America first team quite like Kupp, who made it for the fourth time. The fifth-year senior caught 117 passes for 1,700 yards and 17 touchdowns, scored two other TDs and threw for two more in another dominant season for Eastern Washington.His biggest attribute is his consistency, and that he continues to find ways to produce when everybodys eyes are on him, Eagles coach Beau Baldwin said.Plus, he has the guts and the toughness not to be worried about any moment -- he just goes out and gets it done.Cole will head to the announcement of the Buck Buchanan Award, also January 6 at the national banquet, with an FCS-high 142 tackles. Schult had 17 sacks -- the Division I high -- and 24 tackles for loss, while Hall had 24 1/2 tackles for loss and 11 sacks.The rest of the first-team offense was running backs Tarik Cohen of North Carolina A&T and Chase Edmonds of Fordham, fullback Joe Protheroe of Cal Poly, wide receiver Karel Hamilton of Samford, tight end Dallas Goedert of South Dakota State, and offensive linemen Julien Davenport of Bucknell, Casey Dunn of Jacksonville State, Zack Johnson of North Dakota State, Mitch Kirsch of James Madison and Brandon Parker of North Carolina A&T.On defense, the other first-team selections were defensive linemen Keionta Davis of Chattanooga and Tanoh Kpassagnon of Villanova, linebackers Folarin Orimolade of Dartmouth, Christian Kuntz of Duquesne and Brett Taylor of Western Illinois, and defensive backs Dee Delaney of The Citadel, Lorenzo Jerome of Saint Francis, Donald Payne of Stetson and Cole Reyes of North Dakota.The first-team special teams selections were kicker David Marvin of Wofford, punter Miles Bergner of South Dakota, long snapper Joshua Appel of Indiana State, kick returner Darius Hammond of Charleston Southern, punt returner Rashad Davis of James Madison and all-purpose selection John Lovett of Princeton.The offensive players of the year in eight conferences and defensive players of the year in 12 conferences made the All-America team.---=2016 STATS FCS ALL-AMERICA TEAM=FIRST TEAMOFFENSE*-To be determined by STATS FCS Walter Payton Award results*QB -- Jeremiah Briscoe, junior, 6-3, 220, Sam Houston State, or Gage Gubrud, sophomore, 6-2, 195, Eastern WashingtonRB -- Tarik Cohen, senior, 5-6, 173, North Carolina A&TRB -- Chase Edmonds, junior, 5-9, 196, FordhamFB -- Joe Protheroe, junior, 6-0, 225, Cal PolyWR -- Karel Hamilton, senior, 6-1, 202, SamfordWR -- Cooper Kupp, senior, 6-2, 215, Eastern WashingtonTE -- Dallas Goedert, junior, 6-5, 250, South Dakota StateOL -- Julien Davenport, senior, 6-7, 315, BucknellOL -- Casey Dunn, senior, 6-3, 290, Jacksonville StateOL -- Zack Johnson, senior, 6-4, 329, North Dakota StateOL -- Mitch Kirsch, senior, 6-6, 290, James MadisonOL -- Brandon Parker, junior, 6-7, 299, North Carolina A&TDEFENSEDL -- Keionta Davis, senior, 6-4, 270, ChattanoogaDL -- P.J.

Minnesota Vikings Apparel Clearance .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner.BOSTON - Alex Rodriguez responded to being hit by a pitch the best way he knows how — with a home run. And his teammates followed his lead. "It was awesome. I was pretty excited," Rodriguez said of the homer that started the Yankees go-ahead rally. "It was the ultimate payback." Rodriguez was hit by a fastball his first time up and then hit the 649th homer of his career to start a four-run sixth inning that carried New York to a 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night. Yankees manager Joe Girardi was ejected after storming out of the dugout to holler at plate umpire Brian ONora, who warned both benches immediately after Rodriguez was plunked by Ryan Dempsters 3-0 pitch leading off the second inning. It struck his left elbow pad and ricocheted off his back. Girardi felt the incident sparked the Yankees. "Im sure it did," he said. "They rallied and responded." Rodriguez, who went 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs, was suspended recently for 211 games by Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis drug case. He appealed the penalty and can play until there is a final decision. "Whether you like me or hate me, whats wrong is wrong," he said of being hit. "That was unprofessional and silly." Under the collective bargaining agreement, Rodriguez has the right to appeal. "Whether I agree with everything thats going on, you do not throw at people and you dont take the law into your own hands," Girardi said. "You cant just start taking potshots because you disagree with the way the system is set up." Girardi and Rodriguez said Dempster threw at Rodriguez intentionally. And Girardi said Dempster should have been ejected and should be suspended. Rodriguez declined to comment on any punishment for the pitcher. "Im the wrong guy to be asking about suspensions," he said with a smile. Players streamed from the dugouts and benches, but no skirmishes developed in the latest testy game between the longtime rivals. The dustup seemed to spark the Yankees, who were trailing 2-0 at the time. Mariano Rivera earned his first save since blowing three chances in a row for the first time in his career. "Im sure any hitter that hits a home run the next time up after youve been hit, it feels good," said Dempster, who denied throwing at Rodriguez. "Its just reality. It was unfortunate because it started the inning off with a run." Bostons lead in the AL East was cut to one game over Tampa Bay. The game took 4 hours, 12 minutes. One Yankee drew loud cheers from the Fenway Park crowd. Rivera received a standing ovation as he ran in from the bullpen for the ninth. In his first appearance since last Sunday, he got his 36th save in 41 opportunities. With two runners on, Rivera retired Jarrod Saltalamacchia on a fly ball for the final out. CC Sabathia (11-10) got the win and the Yankees took two of three from the first-place Red Sox. Booed every time he came to bat — and even when he was on deck in the first — Rodriguez drew more jeers after he led off the sixth with a homer off Dempster (6-9) to cut the lead too 6-4.dddddddddddd Brett Gardner soon followed with a three-run triple off Drake Britton. As Rodriguezs second homer of the year landed in the centre field bleachers, he clapped his hands and let out a shout at first base. Then he clapped again and pointed both hands skyward as he crossed home plate. He continued to the dugout where he was congratulated by teammates. The rally continued when the Yankees loaded the bases with one out on singles by Eduardo Nunez and Lyle Overbay and a walk to Chris Stewart before Gardner tripled. Rodriguez was one of four Yankees hit by pitches, but his was the only one that appeared to be intentional. On Rodriguezs first at bat, Dempster "pitched much like Ryan has done (in) many starts," said Boston manager John Farrell, who denied that Dempster was throwing at Rodriguez. "He established his fastball. There are hitters in the lineup and hes got to establish it in. We saw later on when he doesnt establish his fastball in. Rodriguez gets his arms extended and he drives the ball out to centre field." Dempsters first pitch went behind Rodriguezs knees as fans chanted "Youre a cheater!" The next two pitches were inside before the fourth pitch struck Rodriguez. He walked slowly to first base, accompanied by a trainer and staring at Dempster but not making a move toward the mound. In 12 games since his season debut after recovering from hip and quadriceps problems, Rodriguez is batting .319 with two homers and six RBIs. Boston had taken a 2-0 lead in the first on a sacrifice fly by Jonny Gomes and an RBI single by Saltalamacchia. New York tied it in the second when Rodriguez was hit, took third on a double by Curtis Granderson and scored on a single by Nunez. Overbay followed with a sacrifice fly. Rodriguezs run-scoring groundout gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the third before the Red Sox tied it in the bottom of the inning on an RBI groundout by David Ortiz. The Red Sox took a 5-3 lead in the fourth on Stephen Drews sacrifice fly and Will Middlebrooks 10th homer. A bases-loaded walk to Daniel Nava boosted the lead to 6-3 in the fifth. After the four-run sixth, the Yankees added RBI singles by Mark Reynolds in the seventh and Stewart in the ninth. "Today kind of brought us together," Rodriguez said. "Joes reaction was amazing. Every single one of my teammates came up to me and said hit a (homer)." NOTES: New Yorks Alfonso Soriano went 0 for 6 after batting .682 with five homers and 18 RBIs in his previous five games. ... Yankees SS Nunez left the game in the sixth with a tight right hamstring. ... Boston 1B Mike Napoli missed his second straight game with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. ... Yankees SS Derek Jeter (strained right calf) increased his movement in fielding drills on Sunday, including some spin moves on grounders up the middle, during his third day of workouts at the teams complex in Tampa, Fla. Jeter took batting practice, but isnt running the bases. Girardi said Jeter wont be ready to return for Tuesdays doubleheader against Toronto. ... Dempster is 0-6 with a 7.57 ERA against the Yankees in his career.
