ORLANDO, Fla.
http://www.soccerfrancenationalshop.com/Anthony-Martial-France-Jersey/ . -- Eric Winston was elected president of the NFL Players Association on
Wednesday, three years after he was active for the union during the lockout. The
30-year-old offensive lineman was the Arizona Cardinals starting right tackle
last season, his eighth in the league. He is currently a free agent. Winston
succeeds Domonique Foxworth as NFLPA president. Foxworth was out of the league
last season and so could not seek re-election. NFLPA Executive Director
DeMaurice Smith tweeted: "Thank you to @Foxworth24 and all the Executive
Committee for their leadership. Congratulations to Eric Winston. Lots of great
work ahead." The other candidates for president were New Orleans Saints tight
end Ben Watson and former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, who is a free
agent. Watson and Clark will both serve on the executive committee elected later
Wednesday by the unions board of representatives. Clark joined Lorenzo Alexander
and Jay Feely of the Cardinals, Zak DeOssie and Mark Herzlich of the Giants,
Adam Vinatieri of the Colts, and Scott Wells of the Rams as new members of the
executive committee. Watson, Matt Hasselbeck of the Colts, and free agent
Brian Waters were re-elected. Saints quarterback Drew Brees stepped down from
the executive committee. Winston has played for Houston, Kansas City and Arizona
since being chosen by the Texans in the third round of the 2006 draft. He played
his first six NFL seasons with the Texans, joined the Chiefs in 2012, then moved
to the Cardinals last season. Winston has started 112 consecutive games. He has
served on the unions committees for finance and agent discipline and does
community work on behalf of Shriners Hospital for Children. Winston was elected
as a co-alternate union representative by the Texans in 2010. While in Kansas
City, he drew plenty of national attention early in the 2012 season, when he
criticized Chiefs fans who cheered when the teams then-quarterback, Matt Cassel,
got a concussion during a game. "Its 100 per cent sickening," Winston said that
day. "Ive never, ever -- and Ive been in some rough times on some rough teams --
Ive never been more embarrassed in my life to play football than at that moment
right there."

Ronaldo must reinvent himself if he wants to prolong his Real Madrid career,
according to Sky Sports La Liga Weekly podcast. The forward, who turns 32 in
February, was recently substituted for tactical reasons for the first time in
his seven years at the Santiago Bernabeu in Reals 2-2 draw at Las Palmas.
Ronaldo shows his displeasure after being substituted by Real Madrid boss
Zinedine Zidane at Las Palmas However, while Real head coach Zinedine Zidane was
criticised in some quarters of the Spanish press for the move, with Ronaldo
himself visibly unhappy with the decision, Sky Sports Spanish football
commentator Rob Palmer thinks the Frenchman made the right call. Ronaldo turns
32 in February and he is now at the veteran stage of his career, but the problem
is he has not quite accepted that now, Palmer told this weeks La Liga Weekly
podcast.He still thinks he is a young man and he parades himself round the field
and that does not help him. Ronaldo scored four goals including a perfect
hat-trick as Portugal annihilated Andorra 6-0 in Match Day 2 of the World Cup
qualifiers When he gets to the point where he accepts that he is no longer the
great Cristiano Ronaldo when he was 27, 28 and scoring 55 goals a season and has
to slightly reinvent himself, like Lionel Messi is having to do at the moment,
then he will maybe become more acceptable to the general public. Watch NOW TV
Watch Sky Sports for just ?6.99. No contract. You would have to say though that
as a manager, he would be your problem in the changing room because you would
still want to get the best out of him, massage his ego and you would want
Cristiano Ronaldo in your team.But I thought it was great management by Zinedine
Zidane the other week to bring him off as he was not being effective in that
game. It would be foolish to get rid of him when he is 31, 32. He is not at the
peak of his powers, but he is not past it yet either. Rob Palmer, Sky Sports
Spanish football commentator And when you looked around the playyers and
thought: Who should I bring off who is not having an impact on this game and who
will raise the game of everybody else? and he brought Ronaldo off.

If you can bring Ronaldo off, then that gets everybody elses backs up, as if he
is going to go for the first time, and it was the first time he had been taken
off tactically, then this manager actually means the business.So I thought it
was great management by Zidane, even though he got hammered in the Spanish press
for it at the time. Cristiano Ronaldo was far from impressed after being
substituted for Real Madrid at Las Palmas If Ronaldo wants to maintain his
career in the Spanish capital, though, the Portugal international - whose
current deal at Real runs until the summer of 2018 - must copy the likes of
Barcelona duo Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta and change his game, Palmer
thinks.It is how Cristiano Ronaldo reinvents himself - he keeps coming out with:
I am going to play until I am 40, I am still a great player. So he just needs to
look in the mirror really, he said.But he can still be an effective player till
he is 35, 36 if he reinvents himself as Xavi [Hernandez] did, as Iniesta is
currently doing, as Messi has done as well.But he has been injured and maybe he
came back a little bit early and maybe Real Madrid are guilty of playing him
before he is ready. Once he is back in the changing room, he is on the pitch as
they want him to play. Zidane (right) may need to start managing Ronaldos time
on the pitch to prolong his career at the Santiago Bernabeu Equally, however, if
Ronaldo is to keep playing at the highest level until the end of Real contract,
then Palmer believes Zidane will need to keep managing his star mans game time
going forward.He has always played the full 90 minutes when he is fit, so maybe
he has to be managed a bit more and Zidane has to be that man who goes
head-to-head with him, he added.But it would be foolish to get rid of him when
he is 31, 32. He is not at the peak of his powers, but he is not past it yet
