rider retired for the second time after her victory at the London Olympics,

INDIANAPOLIS -- When Frank Gore hears the list, he shakes his head.Two weeks ago, he passed Thurman Thomas.Last week, it was Franco Harris.This week in London, the Indianapolis Colts running back needs 88 yards to move past Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, Marshall Faulk and Jim Brown on the leagues career rushing list.If Gore stays healthy and productive through the rest of this season, he just might catch Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson, too.Gore never dreamed he would be mentioned in the same breath as so many all-time greats or be able to potentially pass seven Hall of Fame running backs in one season.James is the only one of the eight who hasnt been inducted, though he is the Colts career rushing leader and former University of Miami player, just like Gore.Man, thats a blessing, especially coming out of college as a third-round (draft) pick, Gore said Tuesday.A lot of people said I wouldnt be here long enough to do something like that. Eighty-eight yards? I hope it happens this weekend.At age 33, Gore doesnt spend much time reflecting on milestones, and though he knows hes No. 13 all time, he couldnt tell you his rushing total was 12,225 yards or that his 83 consecutive starts are the most of any back in the league.See Gore would rather watch film, prep for the Colts longest trip of the season and make sure Indy (1-2) takes advantage of its chance to get to .500 with a win over the winless Jacksonville Jaguars so he gets another shot to get the most elusive prize of all -- a Super Bowl ring.Teammates have learned to expect nothing less from Gore, who refuses to let age, opponents or anything else get in his way.Frank is definitely a different kind of guy from the ones Ive played with before, running back Jordan Todman said. Hes probably the most veteran back Ive played with, and the marks hes made on this game are unbelievable.At times, Gore has made the hard work look easy.After running for 608 yards as a rookie in 2005 with San Francisco, the 49ers strong offensive line cleared the way for Gore to top the 1,000-yard mark eight times over the next nine years. He missed by 147 yards in 2010, when he was limited to 11 games.When coach Jim Harbaugh departed after the 2014 seasons and the 49ers appeared to be in rebuild mode, Gore decided to leave the only NFL home he had known.Initially, he agreed to sign with Philadelphia then changed his mind and joined former college teammate Andre Johnson in Indy, a team many pegged as a title contender.But 2015 didnt go according to plan.Injuries forced the Colts to shuffle their offensive line and the predictable struggles led to a series of injuries that knocked Andrew Luck out of nine games.The running lanes were smaller and closed quicker than expected, too, and as a result, Gore finished a frustrating season with a career low of 3.7 yards per carry, 967 yards and out of the playoffs.Im not over it. Im not going to be over it until I do it, Gore said in May when asked about coming up short of 1,000 yards.To go after my goals again, to be the one to get the 100 yards that they didnt have in years, to get that 1,000-plus yards.Now I got another opportunity to do it so from here on out I just have to start taking care of my body, eating healthy, start training to get myself ready to try to go get it.So Gore has embarked on a personal mission to become the teams first 1,000-yard runner since 2007 and end a league-high 53 consecutive-game streak without a 100-yard runner, a streak that almost ended last week against San Diego.Gore ran 13 times for 70 yards in the first half, but finished with 21 carries for 82 yards.If Gore ends the drought Sunday, he will also leapfrog four big names on the career rushing list including Jim Brown (12,312) at No. 9, and put Gore within striking distance of two more household names, Dorsett (12,739) and Dickerson (13,259), still the NFLs single-season rushing leader.Pretty amazing, coach Chuck Pagano said. You think of Jim Brown, you think of one of the best if not the very best to play that position.Its a testament to Frank, his worth ethic, his passion, his durability, his reliability. You can check all the boxes next to his name. Great career.Game notes Indy put outside linebacker Trent Cole on injured reserve Tuesday. Pagano said he aggravated his back injury Sunday and will likely need surgery.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Randal Grichuk Blue Jays Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Chris Froome was the young British upstart at the London Olympics four years ago when compatriot Bradley Wiggins was fresh off his Tour de France triumph and targeting time trial gold.Now, it is Froome is trying to pull off the rare double.The reigning Olympic bronze medalist is coming off his third victory on the Champs-Elysees in four years, accomplished in part by his ability to race against the clock, and is one of the heavy hitters in the time trial on Wednesday at the Rio Games.I was really chuffed to get bronze four years ago. It was really important to me, Froome said, and to be able to medal here after the summer Ive had, it would just be incredible.The path to Olympic gold is significantly easier than it was for Froome in London.Wiggins has largely retired from road cycling and will instead chase gold with the mens pursuit squad on the track. Australian rival Richie Porte broke his scapula in Saturdays road race and will not start, and several contenders such as Nelson Oliveira of Portugal also crashed during the race.Perhaps the biggest roadblock to Froomes double is Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands, who broke his wrist in the final week of the Tour de France. He jumped off the bike early during the road race so that he wouldnt aggravate the injury and has pronounced himself ready to compete.Other threats include Froomes trade teammate Vasil Kiryienka, the reigning world champion, and Taylor Phinney, the American rider who has spent the past six weeks preparing for the time trial.Like Dumoulin, Phinney also pulled out of the road race early.Ive been training really specifically for this course and the kind of effort Im going to need for Wednesday, he said. Theres guys coming off the Tour de France and people are motivated -- its the Olympics -- but I do feel confident and proud of the work and sacrifice that Ive put in.Before the menn tackle the course, which uses the same Grumari circuit featured in the road race, the women will take on a slightly shorter version of the same route.ddddddddddddAnna van der Breggen of the Netherlands will try to follow her road race title with another medal Wednesday, though teammate Ellen van Dijk may have the better chance at gold.Both will have to better two-time and reigning Olympic champion Kristin Armstrong.The American rider retired for the second time after her victory at the London Olympics, but she decided early this year to chase more gold. Her selection to the team was not without some controversy, though, after she eschewed racing internationally to spend more time with her family.Armstrong was picked despite facing the weaker competition, and two other American riders tried to replace her on the team through arbitration. Armstrongs spot was ultimately confirmed.The only (American) female athlete in an individual sport who has medaled three times in the same event is Bonnie Blair, Armstrong said of the speed skater. So yeah, if I were to pull off a third gold then that would be history. I mean, come on, Bonnie Blair.One of the big questions heading into the time trial is how much the brutal road races took out of the field. A few riders pulled out early but many others completed the course, the men logging 150 miles of hard riding and the women dealing with some wet, slick conditions.Froome was among those who said there should be ample time to recover.I actually think it is better to race hard on the Sunday and have some tension in my legs for the time trial, said world champion Linda Villumsen of New Zealand, who escaped injury in a fall of her own in the road race. Some prefer the other way round but I like this. ' ' '
