  • FOXBOROUGH, Mass. China NFL Jerseys . - Bill Belichick opened his regular Friday news conference with some un-Belichick comments.Good morning. How are we looking today? Get everything that you asked Santa for, the New England Patriots coach asked the gathered media.Asked, How about you, Belichick said, Yeah, no complaints. No complaints.But Belichick and his team need one more holiday gift to truly complete the season: get through Sundays meaningless game against the Buffalo Bills without anyone getting hurt.Having clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, the Patriots (12-3 with 10 wins in their last 11 games), get to rest their bumps and bruises during a bye week after Sunday. This team is relatively healthy, at least in terms of heading into the 17th week of the regular season, and would love to keep it that way.Now, as far as how many starters will play, Belichick said earlier this week, Well do whats best for the New England Patriots. But dont count on seeing Tom Brady or any of the other main guys for too long — even though another win would allow the Pats to add to some impressive stats.A win would give them 13 for a regular season that started out 2-2, the second loss a Monday night drubbing at Kansas City that had people wondering about this team. A win would also be their 14th straight at home against Buffalo, and the 22nd in the last 23 games overall against the Bills, who secured missing the playoffs for the 15th straight season by losing to Oakland last week.Brady could score his 13th win in as many home tries against the Bills, and go to 24-2 overall against Buffalo. The Patriots have won 35 straight home games against AFC teams, the longest streak against a conference in NFL history. They have also won 16 straight regular-season home games, and captured 17 in a row at home against the AFC East. New England can equal the NFL record for intradivision wins with a victory.And, since 2009, the Pats are 20-3 in the last four games of the regular season.The defence comes into this game not having allowed a second-half touchdown in the last five games.All nifty streaks. None of them matter if someone important gets hurt.Right now, I think its good that our focus be on Buffalo, said safety Devin McCourty. We realize this is a game were playing and we want to go out there and win.Defensive end Rob Ninkovich said Friday: For me, I enjoy it. Division game. Buffalo always plays us tough. Theyre a good football team. Theyve got weapons everywhere: running back, tight end, quarterback, receiver. They have a lot of good football players on that team.Its going to be another challenge for us and its another football game in the NFL. Thats what Im here to do, play football, and Im excited to play Buffalo.NOTES: RB Jonas Gray (ankle) and CB Alfonzo Denard (hamstring) were ruled out.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL NFL Jerseys Cheap .com) - Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is active for Sundays matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Jerseys NFL Wholesale .com) - Oregon wasnt going to let Arizona ruin its national title dreams for a second straight season.North Carolina coach Roy Williams denied allegations of academic wrongdoing Friday by former player Rashad McCants connected to the schools long-running academic scandal. In an interview with ESPNs "Outside the Lines" to air Friday, McCants -- the second-leading scorer on Williams first NCAA championship team in 2005 -- said tutors wrote papers for him and that Williams knew about no-show classes popular with athletes. "I thought it was a part of the college experience, just like watching it on a movie from He Got Game or Blue Chips," McCants said. "... When you get to college, you dont go to class, you dont do nothing, you just show up and play. Thats exactly how it was, you know, and I think that was the tradition of college basketball, or college, period, any sport. Youre not there to get an education, though they tell you that. "Youre there to make revenue for the college. Youre there to put fans in the seats. Youre there to bring prestige to the university by winning games." McCants also said Williams told him he could swap a failing grade from one class with a passing one from another to stay eligible during the 2004-05 season, according to the report. He entered the NBA draft as a junior after that season. "I strongly disagree with what Rashad has said," Williams said in a statement Friday. "In no way did I know about or do anything close to what he says and I think the players whom I have coached over the years will agree with me. Wholesale China Jerseys. "I have spent 63 years on this earth trying to do things the right way and the picture he portrays is not fair to the University or me." McCants comments are the latest allegations levied against UNC in an academic fraud scandal that began as an offshoot of an NCAA investigation into the football program beginning in summer 2010. Those findings centred on the formerly named Department of African and Afro-American Studies, most notably with lecture classes featuring significant athlete enrollments that did not meet and were instead treated as independent study courses requiring only a research paper at semesters end. Former UNC learning specialist Mary Willingham, who has questioned the literacy of Tar Heel athletes, has said "paper classes" were designed to keep players eligible despite many reading at below-grade levels. The fraud findings also unauthorized grade changes and possibly forged signatures on grade rolls. By 2012, an investigation led by former Gov. Jim Martin found the problems in the AFAM department ran back at least to the late 1990s. That probe found no evidence of athletic department involvement, though another probe led by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein is underway. ' ' '
