MADISON, Wis. Mohamed Salah Jersey . - Wisconsin officials have accused Cleveland Browns lineman Joe Thomas of committing nearly a dozen environmental violations on his hunting land west of Madison.The state Department of Natural Resources sent the former Wisconsin Badgers standout and seven-time Pro Bowler a letter Wednesday accusing him of 11 violations. They range from building bridges and dams and enlarging a pond without permits to tearing down a barn without notice of intent and discharging manure into a wetland.DNR officials want to meet with Thomas on Jan. 6 — after the regular season ends — to discuss the allegations. Some of the violations are punishable by fines of $10,000 for every day in violation, the letter says, but doesnt offer details on the number of days.DNR spokesman Bob Manwell declined to comment on the violations.Thomas plans to attend the January meeting if the Browns dont make the playoffs, he said after practice Friday. He said he bought the land about three years ago and hired a contractor to remove buildings on it.Thomas said he didnt realize the process they had to go through with the DNR and was surprised to receive the violation letter. He thought the agency had decided to settle things by issuing after-the-fact permits, he said.I guess Im a little surprised by how the process has gone because were working together in a lock-step as a partnership with the same goals, trying to get the same outcomes, and so I guess Im kind of surprised its blown up into a big deal, he said.The letter also accuses developer Patrick OConnor and Darrick Luck, who runs a company called Old Wood New Use, LLC, of the same violations. Old Wood New Use demolishes old buildings and recycles any material from them thats still usable.OConnor told The Associated Press in an email Friday that he helped Thomas purchase the land in 2012. It was littered with old farm equipment and dilapidated buildings, OConnor said. Thomas hired Luck in May to demolish the structures and Connor along with some friends cleaned up the trash.An anonymous tipster mistakenly reported a manure spill they drained water from a manure storage basin, OConnor said. Thomas subsequently obtained a manure structure closing permit from county officials, he said.Thomas was waiting for the paperwork for retroactive permits when he got Wednesdays letter, OConnor said.There is no issue here, he wrote. The real story is Joe and his family should be receiving an award for cleaning up an environmental eyesore.Luck declined comment to The Associated Press on Friday morning, but told the State Journal it was crazy for the DNR to demand notification prior to demolition.Thomas was a 2006 consensus All-American and first-team All-Big Ten player at Wisconsin. He also became the first Badger to win the Outland Trophy, an award recognizing college footballs top interior lineman.The Browns selected Thomas in the first round of the 2007 NFL draft. Hes never missed a snap during his pro career and has twice been named the Walter Payton Man of the Year.The environmental allegations came one day after local media selected Thomas as the Browns player of the year.___Associated Press Sports Writer Tom Withers in Berea, Ohio, contributed to this report. Sadio Mane Jersey . Reimer told TSNs Mark Masters on Tuesday that he doesnt know if he will be moved leading up to the March 5 trade deadline but added he wasnt interested in discussing it. "Who knows whats going to happen on the horizon here and right now I dont know if I want to talk about it too much. Liverpool Jerseys . Mark Teahen scored the go-ahead run in the home seventh on an error by Scott Sizemore, who had knotted the game with a solo homer in the previous half- inning. Paul Konerko then hit an RBI single which proved to be the winning run.A newcomer helps the Habs, analytics stars Patrice Bergeron and Mark Giordano do what they do, and San Josea€?s third line comes up big. That and much more in Scott Cullena€?s notes from opening night of the NHL season. PARENTEAU ADVISORY The Canadiensa€? line of LW Max Pacioretty, C David Desharnais and RW P.A. Parenteau was dominant, with Parenteau leading the game with a 67.9% Corsi (19 CF, 9 CA) to go with his pair of assists. The addition of Parenteau, in exchange for Daniel Briere, could be a real shot in the arm to the Habsa€? attack. Desharnais Line Crushes Bozak Trio Montreal Corsi% Toronto Corsi% RW P.A. Parenteau 68% RW Phil Kessel 41% LW Max Pacioretty 67% LW James van Riemsdyk 41% C David Desharnais 63% C Tyler Bozak 39% Maple Leafs D Stuart Percy had a strong showing in his NHL debut. He played 20:21 alongside Roman Polak and recorded an assist and all seemed to be going well until Montreala€?s winning goal deflected in off his skate. RW David Clarkson (60.0%, 12 CF, 8 CA) was one the Leafsa€? Corsi leaders for the first game, behind only Peter Holland. Clarkson, Mike Santorelli as well as defencemen Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner, all started at least 75% of their even-strength shifts in the offensive zone. More: Canadiens C Tomas Plekanec scored a pair of goals and D Alexei Emelin recorded two assists. It was Emelina€?s third multi-assist game in his 165-game NHL careera€|Maple Leafs D Roman Polak recorded a game-high seven hitsa€|Canadiens D Andrei Markov played a game-high 26:17. SHUTDOWN LINE The Flyersa€? number one line of LW Brayden Schenn, C Claude Giroux and RW Jakub Voracek got buried, mostly by the Bruinsa€? line of LW Brad Marchand, C Patrice Bergeron and RW Reilly Smith. Therea€?s no shame in that, as Bergeron is one of the gamea€?s premier puck possession forwards, but ita€?s tough for the Flyers to generate offence when their top line is locked down like that. Schenn was on for a game-worst 16.0% (4 for, 21 against) of the even-strength shot attempts. Bergeron also won 15-of-19 (78.9
faceoffs, with Giroux winning three of 17 (17.6. Bostona€?s leader in ice time was D Adam McQuaid, who logged 21:47, the second-highest of his 221-game career (and most since February 26, 2011), spending time with both Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg at various points. McQuaid also assisted on Chris Kellya€?s game-winning goal with 1:51 remaining in the third period when Steve Mason couldna€?t handle McQuaida€?s knucklinng one-timer. Virgil van Dijk Liverpool Jersey. 32-year-old Bobby Robins made his NHL debut for the Bruins, registering five hits and scrapping with Flyers D Luke Schenn, earning seven penalty minutes in 6:58 of actual ice time. More: Bruins C Carl Soderberg had a pair of assistsa€|Flyers C Sean Couturier scored Philadelphiaa€?s lone goal, started 21.4% of his shifts in the offensive zone and generated positive possession stats. ON THE MARK Flames D Mark Giordano turned into an analytics superstar last season, most notably because his relative possession numbers were the best in the league. In that respect, Giordano got off to a good start against Vancouver, on the ice for 78.3% (18 for, 5 against) of even-strength shot attempts, while the Flames managed 35.7% (20 for, 36 against) of the shot share with Giordano off the ice. All the more impressive, it came largely at the expense of the Sedins and Radim Vrbata. One of the big questions for the Canucks is how well new centres Nick Bonino and Linden Vey can hold up the second and third lines. Both had positive possession stats and Vey assisted on Zack Kassiana€?s goal. Canucks D Chris Tanev, who may be leaned on more now that Jason Garrison has departed, had a strong game, contributing two assists and positive possession numbers despite starting three quarters of his shifts in the defensive zone. More: Flames rookie LW Johnny Gaudreau started 30.0% of his shifts in the offensive zonea€|Flames LW Curtis Glencross led the forwards with 19:10 TOI, four shots on goal and five hits. WING AND A PRAYER The Sharksa€? offence was paced by RW Tommy Wingels, who had a pair of goals. Wingelsa€? line, with LW Tye McGinn and rookie C Chris Tierney had positive possession numbers to go with those couple goals, despite starting fewer than 30% of their shifts in the offensive zone. Sharks G Antti Niemi was much maligned after his performance against Los Angeles in last yeara€?s playoffs, and while a regular-season game is a far cry from providing redemption, a 34-save shutout was a good way to start the year. Kings D Brayden McNabb played 23:27, second only to partner Drew Doughty (27:28). McNabb was filling in for an injured Jake Muzzin. Notes: Sharks LW Patrick Marleau contributed a goal and an assista€|In his return to the San Jose defence, Brent Burns picked up a couple of assists and had a game-high five giveaways while leading the Sharks with 21:35 time on icea€|Kings line of LW Kyle Clifford, C Jarret Stoll and RW Trevor didna€?t start one shift with a defensive zone faceoff.
