ALLEN PARK, Mich. Vince Wilfork Jersey . -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley and wide receiver Titus Young were back on the practice field Tuesday -- with security escorts to keep reporters away. Fairley joined his teammates for a voluntary workout two days after he was arrested in Alabama for the second time in two months. He was charged Sunday with driving under the influence after troopers say he was speeding at 100 mph and didnt initially stop when they attempted to pull him over. Fairley was also arrested in April on a misdemeanour charge of possessing marijuana. The 2011 first-round pick shook his head from side to side when asked if he had anything to say after the workout. Young was prevented from hearing or answering questions from a reporter, but the second-year pro did issue a statement before attending the OTA -- in the wake of having punched teammate Louis Delmas earlier this month when the veteran safety wasnt looking. "My recent actions have not always been up to the standards the Lions expect or the standards that I expect from myself," Young said. "I am truly sorry for those times when I didnt meet those standards. "My absence from the practice facility and the OTAs last week was necessary for both myself and the team." Youngs punch followed the news of three players -- Fairley, Mikel Leshoure and Johnny Culbreath -- having marijuana-related run-ins with law enforcement earlier this off-season. Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said hes concerned, angry and disappointed that stories about the promising team -- coming off its first playoff appearance since the 1999 season -- havent focused on Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and the vast majority of players on the roster who have stayed out of trouble. "What we have here is a case of a few guys tainting the reputations of a lot of others," Schwartz said. "The actions of the few have affected the reputation of not just the other guys, but also the organization as a whole, and thats obviously not a good situation." Fairley and Leshoure have had two unwanted interactions with law enforcement, entering their season year in the league. "Theres some maturing things that go on and some mistakes that guys make that they learn from, but what we have here is a situation that it appears that a couple guys havent learned and that is concerning," Schwartz said. "But they are still young and theres still a lot in front of them and we are hopeful that they can -- with a lot of other means at their disposal -- be able to get this under control and be able to put them behind them." Young seemed to take a step toward rehabilitating his image with teammates by saying he was sorry after the offence met as a group. "He just quietly stepped up and as a man took responsibility and apologized," receiver Nate Burleson said. "Nobody told him to. We were actually getting up to head to the field." Even if teammates forgive Fairley, Young, Leshoure and Culbreath -- all of whom were drafted last year -- for stunting what shouldve been a feel-good off-season for the organization, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell may not be as forgiving when he decides how much to punish each of them for their conduct. Burleson said he along with other veterans and Schwartz can say only so much to help the young players make better decisions. "With the type of press were getting, hopefully the young guys will see that mistakes are not going to get swept under the rug in the NFL -- especially with how hard Goodell has been," Burleson said. "We dont want to be one of those teams labeled as Bad Boys." Tedy Bruschi Jersey .C. -- Top-ranked LPGA Tour golfer Yani Tseng will play in the CN Canadian Womens Open. Ryan Wendell Jersey .C. -- The Bobcats interviewed Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Quin Snyder on Monday in Chicago about their head coaching vacancy, said a person familiar with the situation. http://www.newenglandpatriotsroom.com/aaron-hernandez-jersey . Keep in mind, Assat plays in SM-liiga, Finlands top professional league. "I just thought he was ready to play on our first line and we just needed to find the right center to play alongside him," Rautakallio, a former NHL All-Star with the Atlanta/Calgary Flames, told NHL. Rob Gronkowski Red Jersey . Harrison extended his consecutive scoreless streak to 16 1-3 innings, pitching into the eighth before Mike Adams and Joe Nathan closed out the Rangers third shutout victory in their past five games, 1-0 over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night. Wes Welker Jersey . Crawford is an electric reserve scorer, but hes also usually the kind of investment teams closer to contention like to make. Are the Blazers still in go for it mode? This signing would suggest that they are. NEW ORLEANS -- The Hornets, Suns and Timberwolves have agreed to a multiplayer trade sending 7-foot centre Robin Lopez and forward Hakim Warrick from Phoenix to New Orleans, while moving forward Wesley Johnson and a first-round draft pick from Minnesota to Phoenix, a person familiar with the deal said. The person told The Associated Press about the trade on condition of anonymity Wednesday because it has not been announced pending the completion of some routine logistical matters. The deal also sends guard Jerome Dyson and retiring centre Brad Millers $5.1 million contract from New Orleans to Minnesota, allowing the Timberwolves to clear space under the NBAs salary cap as they pursue free agents. Minnesota also will receive two second-round draft picks from New Orleans, while the Hornets will receive cash. Minnesota general manager David Kahn declined to confirm the deal when asked about it on a conference call Wednesday, saying only that he is "not allowed to comment on anything that hasnt been consummated." The acquisition of Lopez fills a need at centre for the Hornets, who traded away Emeka Okafor and let Chris Kaman go in free agency. While the Hornets were able to draft 6-11 Kentucky star Anthony Davis first overall in last months draft, Davis is expected to play often at power forward because his slender build could leave him at a defensive dissadvantage in one-on-one matchups against some of the leagues more powerful centres such as Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum. Brandon Spikes Womens Jersey. The Hornets also have 7-footer Jason Smith on the roster, and while he has filled in at centre well when called upon, he has been primarily a reserve power forward during his career. New Orleans now has made two trades to acquire new front court players, having also dealt forward Gustavo Ayon to Orlando for 6-10 sharpshooter Ryan Anderson, a perimeter threat who can space out an opposing defence. Lopez was drafted 15th overall by the Suns in 2008. Before that, he starred at Stanford with his twin brother, Brook, now a starter with Brooklyn Nets. Robin Lopez has been an off-and-on starter in the NBA and was a reserve for all 64 games in which he appeared last season, averaging 5.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 14 minutes a game. Warrick, a former Syracuse standout now entering his eighth season, started periodically in Memphis early in his career, but played a reserve role the past two seasons in Phoenix. For his career, he has averaged 9.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in 20.4 minutes. The 6-7 Johnson is entering his third season in the NBA out of Syracuse. He has averaged 7.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 24.6 minutes in his young career. ------ AP Sports Writer Dave Campbell in Minneapolis contributed to this report. ' ' '
