Union wants suspended<br />
players to rejoin teams<br />
NEW ORLEANS — The<br />
NFL Players Associ<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
asked a federal judge for a<br />
temporary restraining order<br />
th<strong>at</strong> would allow players suspended<br />
in connection with<br />
the NFL’s bounty investig<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
to rejoin their teams in<br />
time to play regular season<br />
openers.<br />
The union filed the<br />
motion on behalf of New<br />
Orleans defensive end Will<br />
Smith, Cleveland linebacker<br />
Scott Fujita and free agent<br />
defensive lineman Anthony<br />
Hargrove, arguing th<strong>at</strong> the<br />
players will suffer irreparable<br />
harm if they are forced to<br />
miss games while their case<br />
against the league proceeds.<br />
Suspended Saints linebacker<br />
Jon<strong>at</strong>han Vilma<br />
already had filed a similar<br />
motion when his full-season<br />
suspension began earlier. The<br />
other three players’ suspensions<br />
began this week.<br />
The players want their<br />
suspensions thrown out<br />
because they argue the disciplinary<br />
process was fundamentally<br />
flawed and unfair.<br />

Freddy Garcia (7-6), wiping out a 2-1<br />
deficit in the third inning. Jennings and<br />

Kenseth announces move to Joe Gibbs Racing<br />
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C.<br />
(AP) — M<strong>at</strong>t Kenseth opened<br />
this season with a second<br />
victory in the Daytona 500,<br />
and it didn’t take him long to<br />
establish himself as a legitim<strong>at</strong>e<br />
championship contender.<br />
But before the midpoint<br />
of the season, Kenseth had<br />
decided he no longer wanted<br />
to drive for Roush Fenway<br />
Racing. On Tuesday, nearly<br />
two months after RFR said<br />
Kenseth was leaving, the<br />
driver finally confirmed he’s<br />
moving to Joe Gibbs Racing<br />
<strong>at</strong> the end of the season.<br />
“Surprise,” he said as he<br />
entered a JGR news conference,<br />
a dry quip <strong>at</strong> one of the<br />
worst kept secrets in<br />
NASCAR.<br />
Kenseth was deliber<strong>at</strong>ely<br />
vague, though, as to why he’s<br />
leaving RFR after 13 full Cup<br />
seasons. He’s never driven for<br />
anyone else <strong>at</strong> NASCAR’s<br />
highest level, and paired with<br />
Jack Roush won 22 races, a<br />
pair of Daytona 500s and the<br />
2003 championship.<br />
“I knew it would not only<br />
be a good fit, but it’s about<br />
winning races and winning<br />
championships and you want<br />
to put yourself in a position<br />
to be <strong>com</strong>petitive going forward,”<br />
Kenseth said. “I felt<br />
like this was it.”<br />
But he was winning races<br />
and he was <strong>com</strong>petitive <strong>at</strong><br />
Roush, where the 40-year-old<br />
Kenseth is considered one of<br />
NASCAR’s elite drivers.<br />
Pressed as to wh<strong>at</strong> JGR offered,<br />
Kenseth knew he wasn’t going<br />
to give a clear answer.<br />
“There’s just a lot of different<br />
things th<strong>at</strong> go into<br />
th<strong>at</strong>. It’s about 2013 and<br />
beyond,” Kenseth said. “I felt<br />
like and I feel like (Gibbs) was<br />
the right place for me. I know<br />
without a doubt <strong>at</strong> all it’s the<br />
right place for me to be.”<br />
