CHARLOTTE, N. Cheap Nike Shoes From China .C. -- Panthers starting defensive end Greg Hardy said he isnt about to let his contract be a distraction and keep him from being a "dominant" player this season. It might even inspire him to play harder. The Panthers outspoken fourth-year player said Tuesday he plans to report to training camp on time and play this season even if he doesnt get a new contract from the Panthers. Hardy had been hoping for a new contract after a breakout season in 2012 in which he posted a career-high 11 sacks and 61 tackles. But with Carolinas struggles getting under the NFL salary cap this off-season no long-term deal has been reached. Hardy said he understands the teams financial restrictions and wont allow his contractual situation to be a distraction. Hardy missed four voluntary practices during OTAs raising speculation he might hold out. But he attended the teams first mandatory minicamp practice Tuesday and dispelled that notion. "Yeah, I will be there bright and early, same as always," Hardy said of his plans for training camp. Hardy is in the final year of a four-year contract and will make $1.35 million this season. He would become an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season if the Panthers dont reach a long-term deal with him. Hardys agent Drew Rosenhaus has not returned phone calls. Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman has said the team will not comment on contract matters. "You cant think about it," Hardy said of his contract status. "Its one of those things where I know the position of the team. Thats what I have an agent for. Its not really my job... I told my agent dont even tell me. I feel like its hard to play and be an agent for yourself at the same time. So I will come up and do my part and let him do his part." In the meantime, Hardy said his focus is on taking another step forward. Last year he and fellow defensive end Charles Johnson combined for 23.5 sacks and the Panthers were ninth in the league in sacks per play. The outspoken Hardy said feels like the Panthers defensive line -- which he has already dubbed "Monsters Inc." -- can be one of the most dominant in the league following the addition of defensive tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, the teams top two draft picks. "I feel like we finally have a full D-line, our whole team and were ready to dominate," Hardy said. "... It comes down to who do you double team? If you cant double team everybody or youre (in trouble). Its only five against four." Hardy is not one who lacks for confidence. Last year he predicted the out-of-playoff-contention Panthers would beat up on quarterback Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons late in the season, and Carolina did just that. This year, Hardy said he feels like "nobody can stop me" when it comes to his pass rush. Hes slimmed down to about 280 pounds in an effort to improve his speed coming off the edge. When asked about his personal goals this season, Hardy grinned and said he wants 50 sacks. "Why shoot low, right?" Hardy said. "If Im going to shoot at it, Im going to shoot at it with a 50 calibre. Im going to shoot at a little bird with a 50-calibre bullet. Thats the goal for this year, 50 sacks, thats where Im at." Hardy has become known for his outlandish statements and bold predictions. Now the man who paints his face and turns his persona into an imaginary creature he calls "Kraken" on game day, is hoping his confidence will rub off on his Carolina teammates. "This year, its complete domination, savage, ruthless, disgusting all-out Kraken-type stuff," Hardy said. "Except its going to spread. Im tired of having to stick up for everybody. Were about to come out with a nasty attitude. Its going to be monstrous." NOTES: Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart was held out of practice with a sore ankle. ... Rookie Edmund Kugbila has been working with the first team at right guard ahead of veteran Geoff Hangartner. Air Max Plus Mens Sale . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two. Cheap Air Max Plus 270 .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal. The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. http://www.cheapairmaxplusclearance.com/cheap-air-...-mens.h tml . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Jordan Spieth hit the reset button after the U.S. Open, a prudent decision to keep from looking in the rearview mirror.Gone was the burden of trying to repeat 2015 by winning the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. This was all about looking ahead at two more majors, not so much to salvage the year but the chance to make it another great one. And now, even that is about to end.Golf, known for its deliberate pace, is on warp speed this year.I had said after the U.S. Open it felt like now the second half is starting, Spieth said. And all of a sudden, you know, thats the end of the majors for the year.Blame it on Rio.Golf is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1904, a dozen years before the PGA Championship was held for the first time. To make room on the schedule, the PGA Championship agreed to move up to the final weekend of July ahead of the Rio Games.That left 11 days between the end of one major and the start of another. From a claret jug to the Wanamaker Trophy with barely enough time to breathe.Thats pretty mad, Graeme McDowell said with a slight grin as he shook his head. An unusual summer.Ready or not, the final major starts Thursday at Baltusrol Golf Club.This will be the ninth major at Baltusrol, which includes the U.S. Open seven times. Phil Mickelson won at Baltusrol in the 2005 PGA Championship, making birdie on the final hole to claim at the time was his second major.The PGA Championship has the strongest field of all the majors, and it really stands out in an Olympic year. No one is skipping Baltusrol except for injury, while the Olympics will have only eight of the top 25 in the world.As for the timing?The PGA Championship, before it settled into a traditional August date in 1969, used to be all over the calendar. Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA Championship in February when it was held at PGA National in Florida. The PGA was held in December 1929 at Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. Over the years, it has been played in every month except for January, March and April.What doesnt change about the 98th edition of the PGA Championship are the stakes. For years, the slogan of the final major was Glorys Last Shot, and that still applies. This is one last chance for players to reshape their outlook on the year, to turn a good season into a great one.That starts with Spieth, defending champion Jason Day and Rory McIlroy.They began 2016 as the modern version of the Big Three because they had traded turns at No. 1 in the worrld, they had combined to win five of the previous six majors and there were all in their 20s. Wholesale Shoes China. But going into Baltusrol, all three are in danger of being shut out in the majors this year.Spieth is having a very good year, and he needs reminded of that every now and then. He has won twice, including in his home state of Texas. He was one bad swing away from winning the Masters again. It just feels like a failure compared with last year, when he won two majors and his worst finish was missing the playoff at St. Andrews by one shot. The high expectations created from 2015 are starting to wear on him.Had last year not happened Id be having a lot of positive questions, he said. Instead, most of the questions I get are comparing to last year and, therefore, negative. Because its not to the same standard. So thats almost tough to then convince myself that youre having a good year when nobody else ... even if you guys think it is, the questions I get make me feel like its not.One major could change the outlook.Ditto for McIlroy, whose only victory was the Irish Open before a home crowd. McIlroy ended 2014 with two straight majors, and he lost a chunk of last year recovering from an ankle injury. This was going to be the year when he asserted himself, except it hasnt happened. He missed the cut in the U.S. Open and didnt finish closer than five shots in the other two. Now imagine him holding the Wanamaker Trophy for the third time. Frustration becomes instant gratification.All I can do is keep plugging away, McIlroy said after he tied for fifth at the British Open, 16 shots behind. Its really close. Im staying positive about it. I feel like good things are happening. If I can drive the ball like I did this week at Baltusrol and sharpen up a few bits and pieces, I think Ill be right there.Day has been No. 1 in the world since March, and his three victories are the most on the PGA Tour. When he won The Players Championship in May, it was his seventh victory in the last 10 months. It has been a very good year. A major makes it a great one.Any of the major winners this year -- Masters champion Danny Willett, U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson and British Open champion Henrik Stenson -- can claim the best year in golf by adding another major.That all have one thing in common at Baltusrol: Its their last shot until next spring at Augusta National.
