running back Phillip Tanner mentioned it on?Twitter on Sunday night

LAS VEGAS -- Before DAngelo Russell showed off the ice in his veins in the Los Angeles Lakers 70-69 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, Jerami Grant had the highlight of the most-hyped matchup of Las Vegas Summer League on Saturday.Midway through the third quarter, T.J. McConnell drove downhill on the left side of the floor as Grant ran the right sideline and cut toward the rim. McConnell dished a no-look pass to Grant, who took one dribble past Brandon Ingram, launched into the air and dunked on a rotating Ivica Zubac.Ive been working on my explosiveness, Grant said. I saw him under there and I just went for it. ... I knew if he jumped, I was going to dunk on him. I didnt expect him to actually jump.Grant got up so high that his right leg cleared Zubacs head, reminiscent of Vince Carters infamous dunk over French center Frédéric Weis in the 2000 Olympics.It was unbelievable, Sixers summer league coach Lloyd Pierce said. Jerami is a special athlete. It was a great play. It was a momentum play for us at that time. I think we ended up going [16] points up.Zubac, a native Croatian, couldnt help but laugh at himself afterward, admitting that he wasnt expecting Grant to posterize him.We dont have that in Europe, Zubac said. I thought he was going to pump fake, so I didnt jump, and then he jumped on me.When told that someone had changed his Wikipedia page to say he had died Saturday after Grant dunked on him, Zubac smirked and agreed.I did a little bit, Zubac said.Larry Nance Jr., who had several impressive dunks of his own on Saturday, believes the dunk can be a learning experience for Zubac. Next time the rookie center rotates over toward a cutter, he will either aggressively attempt to block the dunk or take a foul.Yeah, he got dunked on. Everybody does, Nance Jr. said. Jerami is a terrific athlete. I told him when he got dunked on, Ill get him back for you. I did. Thats my center, I got his back.We told him next time somebody goes up on you like that, make your presence felt. Nothing dirty, but just make sure he knows youre there.

After Martin Skrtel put the Reds in front from close range at Stamford Bridge after only four minutes, Hazard hit back in the 17th with a superb strike. Etoo gave Jose Mourinhos team a decisive lead from Oscars back pass in the 34th. The cancellation of Sunday nights Hall of Fame Game?because of poor field conditions is a terrible look for the NFL. Little-league stuff, really. And I get it, too, with players describing parts of the field as cement. That always has been an issue in Canton, Ohio, even going back to the two games I played there during my pro career on the old school AstroTurf. Rock hard. And nasty. It tore up your body.While the discussion Sunday most likely will focus on whos to blame and player safety, however, lets not forget about the important game reps that were just lost. Thats something I wrote about over the weekend.These?live?reps in August? Not a big deal for established vets. But for the rookies, the bubble guys and the journeymen trying to win a job in the NFL? Those are gold. And every play is graded. Offense, defense, special teams. Go make some plays. Earn some more reps in practice. Maybe you get bumped up a notch on the depth chart. A lot of possibilities there. And every team in the league is watching, too.This game? It was supposed to be an audition, an interview for those guys.Hey, playing in the Hall of Fame Game with the St. Louis Rams during my second pro season in 2001 helped me make the team. It was an opportunity to get a ton of reps in the second half for new defensive coordinator Lovie Smith.ddddddddddddAnd many other players have the same story. Former running back Phillip Tanner mentioned it on?Twitter on Sunday night. He rushed for 59 yards on 10 carries and had a touchdown in the 2013 Hall of Fame Game.Think about that for a minute, and just take a look at the quarterback situation in Green Bay. With Aaron Rodgers and backup?Brett Hundley?not planning to play Sunday night, coach Mike McCarthy was going to give the snaps?to Joe Callahan. Hes an undrafted free agent out of Wesley College in Dover, Delaware. You think he needed those reps? Man, what a missed opportunity for a rookie to run the offense, sling the ball around and start putting together a resume in the league. Maybe the young quarterback?has family at the stadium, too. They have to hit?the road without seeing Callahan play.I understand how vets feel about this thing. As a starting safety for the Washington Redskins during the 2004 Hall of Fame Game, I wanted to get my reps in and go home. Stay healthy, execute the call and get back on the plane.But those young cats who?need every possible chance to make a team? They lost tonight. And the league looks absolutely ridiculous because of it. ' ' '
