YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Pascal Wehrlein says there is no truth in media reports he has agreed to drive for Sauber next season.Sauber is yet to confirm Marcus Ericssons teammate for next season, though news overnight that Banco do Brasil is stopping its sponsorship of Felipe Nasr led to reports in German media on Friday that Wehrlein had agreed a deal. Wehrlein is still a Mercedes driver but, having been overlooked by Force India, he is yet to have his contract at Manor extended.At his media session after Friday practice, Wehrlein was asked about the rumours but said his future plans are still unconfirmed.Yeah, its not true, he said. Theres no news. Theres still talks and discussions going on and of course with both teams because they are the only teams with a seat left for next year. Many people asked me today about if its true that I signed and no, its not true. Its not good that people write something like that when its not true. If it would be true we would confirm that.The loss of Banco do Brasil sponsorship was also reported from Abu Dhabi, with the company reportedly cutting ties with Nasr this week. Monisha Kaltenborn confirmed the news on Friday but said it had no impact on the teams negotiations.Well, thats correct that the bank informed us that theyve interrupted their 2017 sponsorship programme, she said. Our seat is still open. We arent choosing that in our assessments were making and thats all there is to say of it.Nasr did not confirm or deny the loss of sponsorship but insisted he has not given up hopes of keeping his seat at Sauber.Well, I havent got anything yet, he said. The negotiations are still going on, thats the most important. My head is here this weekend, I cannot think about future now. We have tenth place to confirm this weekend so we cant lose our heads yet on other things, were not focused on other things. We need a strong race here to finally celebrate those two points.When asked if he was confident the talks would continue after the race, the Brazilian driver replied: Yes, on Monday we can talk about it.

Malik Monk Jersey .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. https://www.cheaphornets.com/145l-anthony-mason-jersey-hornets.html . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. Terry Rozier Jersey . Howard Ganz, an MLB lawyer, said in a letter to U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos that Rodriguezs claims do not come "remotely close" to what is needed to overturn an arbitration decision in federal court. D. J. Augustin Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. LOS ANGELES -- Southern California held its final scrimmage Friday, one day before it plans to name a starting quarterback.Whether it changed or confirmed the decision about redshirt junior Max Browne or redshirt freshman Sam Darnold taking the first snap against defending national champion Alabama, no one would say.Safety Chris Hawkins said the quarterback with the No. 4 on his jersey has the edge, which doesnt exactly help because Browne wears No. 4 and Darnold No. 14.Take it however yall want to take it, Hawkins said.Coach Clay Helton will meet with both quarterbacks and their families Saturday to inform them of his decision before announcing a starter via a statement in the afternoon. A formal depth chart could also be released at that time.Browne had the better performance Friday, unofficially completing 13 of 22 passes with two touchdowns and no interceptions leading three scoring drives. Darnold was 10 of 19 with one touchdown and no interceptions, but a perfect 5 of 5 during a two-minute drill against the second-unit defense to conclude practice for his only scoring drive. Browne and Darnold worked equally between first- and second-team, apart from the two-minute drills.Helton said it was one of the better offensive performances of training camp.Both quarterbacks did some nice things, Helton said. Im looking forward to watching the tap tonight and in the morning.The final data point was essentially the reverse of Mondays scrimmage at the Coliseum when Darnold had the more impressive statistics and Browne salvaged the session with a perfect two-minute drill. As Helton pointed out, Browne and Darnold have made the decision on choosing a successor to three-year starter Cody Kessler difficult dating back to spring practices.I think that happens when you have elite quarterbacks competing at this higgh a level, Helton said.dddddddddddd I cant tell you how proud I am of them, the way they competed, but more importantly the camaraderie that they have had in the room and supporting each other and competing against each other. I thanked them today, how they have handled both camps, very proud of both of them and look forward to visiting with them tomorrow.Helton will review film and consult with offensive coordinator Tee Martin, quarterbacks coach Tyson Helton and defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast for their input, but said the final decision would be his.It isnt a choice Helton thought he would have to make when he was promoted to head coach last November. Browne arrived at USC as the top pro-style quarterback in his recruiting class and spent the last two seasons backing up Kessler. Darnold bucked the trend and didnt enroll early, spending last season running the scout team.I always knew Max being who he was ... You knew he would perform well. But to Sams credit, just to be this good this fast is remarkable, Helton said.They push each other, Hawkins said. If Max comes out and throws a 40-yard bomb, Sam comes out and does something amazing as well.Linebacker Cameron Smith is glad he doesnt have to pick.Id say it is pretty close, but thats all I can say, Smith said. They got a tough one tonight.Cornerback Adoree Jackson used the same line about jersey numbers as Hawkins, leading the safety to declare he came up with the joke. On a more serious note, Hawkins is optimistic about the quarterback position regardless of whether Browne or Darnold wins the job.But whoever it is I have confidence in both of the guys, Hawkins said. I think they will get it done no matter what. ' ' '
