HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Carl Edwards detests social media.He prefers his followers have sharpies and photos instead of egg avatars and his only likes are NASCAR victory celebrations.I enjoy normal, social interaction, Edwards said. Its hard once you get down the path of social media.Edwards recalled a time his brother handed him a phone and insisted he read Brad Keselowskis tweets. Keselowski, who has tweeted from his car during a race, was the first NASCAR media darling on the social network. He uses his 140-character forum as a bully pulpit, and Edwards was curious.It was like a time warp, he said. I handed the phone back an hour later. I went across the entire Twitter-verse. I feel like life is short. I dont want to spend it staring at my phone.Edwards is willing to make a notable exception to his blackout and deal with the scrolling and trolling of the digital age under one condition: If he leaves Homestead-Miami Speedway as the champ.Thats right. Edwards will end his holdout and join Twitter should he win the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.Ill no longer be Twitter-less Carl, he said.NASCAR champ seems like a pretty cool line in a Twitter bio.The title has eluded Edwards in 12 full seasons at the Cup level. He finished third in his rookie season of 2005 and is a two-time series runner-up -- though his stinging loss to Tony Stewart on a tiebreak in 2011 has gone down as the greatest finale finish in the Chase era.The 37-year-old Edwards can ease some of that disappointment if he defeats six-time champion Jimmie Johnson, 2015 champ Kyle Busch and Joey Logano on Sunday and brings home the trophy for owner Joe Gibbs. The first to finish out of the four contenders is the 2016 champion.With the way everyones been running with this group, I think youre going to have to win the race, Edwards said.Under the best-finish format the last two years, Kevin Harvick and Busch did indeed clinch their championships with a victory at Homestead. The statistics say Edwards may have the best shot. He won Homestead in 2008 and 2010 and his 9.2 average finish at the track is the best of the four drivers.This is the best opportunity Ive had in a long time, Edwards said.Hed have to stretch back five years for his head-to-head showdown with Stewart to find a better one.Edwards, then driving for Jack Roush, had seemingly checked all the boxes needed to win a championship. He started the race with a three-point lead in the standings, and did everything he could from the minute he arrived in Florida. His Roush Fenway Racing team put his Ford on the pole, he led a race-high 119 of the 267 laps and still finished second to Stewart.Stewart and Edwards finished tied in the final Sprint Cup Series points standings -- a first in NASCAR history -- and Stewart took the tiebreaker based on his five victories to Edwards one.Those couple of weeks leading up, I could tell Tony and those guys were on a roll, Edwards said. It was the most fun Id had in racing since Ive been in NASCAR. Everything we did, every lap, every qualifying session, every pit stop mattered. It was real easy to focus.Edwards also insisted he wasnt rattled by Stewarts trash-talking in the lead-up to the race. Stewart, who retires from NASCAR on Sunday, agitated Edwards with a series of verbal jabs at the championship press conferences.Stewart told Edwards he could visit the Cup trophy at the victors banquet in Las Vegas and that hed talk to his hero A.J. Foyt after we win on Sunday. Edwards says he was simply outdueled by the better car on the track, not by barbs on a dais.I knew as soon as Tony started talking trash, I knew he was giving 100 percent effort, Edwards said. He knew what it was going to take. He was putting everything out there that he could. That made it really special. I feel like I got to race Tony at his absolute best. I could tell how much it meant to him to win that championship.Edwards recently gave his helmet from the race to Stewart as a retirement gift.It was neat to see how excited he was about it, Edwards said. If thats something that was important to him, really special to him, I was really happy to be able to do that for him.Edwards won this season in the No. 19 Toyota at Bristol, Richmond and then a rain-shortened Chase race at Texas that clinched him a berth in the title race. Edwards is in his first season paired with crew chief Dave Rogers, and the two will have to fend off JGR teammate Busch and crew chief Adam Stevens to win.We try to help each other and we talked about it, Rogers said. This is a scenario we talked about long before this race. How do we race? Once we get to that final race, how do we race, and our agreement all year was nothing changes.Because of that rain at Texas, Edwards failed to perform his traditional victory backflip off the car. Hes ready for a leap into the NASCAR record book.Thatll be a fun backflip to do, he said.And then would come the plunge on Twitter. Stitched Football Jerseys .

Cheap Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys China .S. -- Nikolaj Ehlers registered a hat trick for the third straight game and Jonathan Drouin had a goal and five assists as the Halifax Mooseheads hammered the host Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 10-1 on Tuesday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that he is concerned about wide receiver Nelson Agholor and hinted that he might reduce his role in order to get him in a better state of mind.Sometimes you have to take a step back to take a step forward, Pederson said. That way you can begin to clear your head.In a move that could be related, the Eagles signed receiver Paul Turner off their practice squad and released cornerback Aaron Grymes.Agholor made some revealing comments about his mental state following a pair of costly miscues in Sundays 25-15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.The Eagles appeared to take the lead on a 57-yard catch-and-run by tight end Zach Ertz midway through the second quarter. On the opposite side of the play, however, Agholor was whistled for an illegal formation penalty for lining up off the line of scrimmage, negating the score.On the ensuing series, Agholor dropped a perfect pass from quarterback Carson Wentz deep over the middle, stalling another drive. The Seahawks built their lead to nine over that span and clamped down on a banged-up Eagles offense the rest of the way.Ive got to get out of my own head, said Agholor. Pressing so much and worried about so much. ... Im thinking too much and so worried, and its such a selfish thing that I need to stop. I need to give my energy to my teammates and this organization and not myself, and feeling so pressured to make every single thing. Just have fun.I did it to myself. I started getting in my own head and just trying so hard to think about being perfect, and when miscues were there and they were exposed, I just let it eat at me.Agholor talked about the need to stop the mental battle he is going through.After hearing those comments, Pederson said that he is conncerned about Agholors well-being as a person.dddddddddddd He plans on having a sit-down with the 23-year-old and will not make a decision about whether to pull back on his playing time until they have that conversation.Agholor entered the game ranked 120th in receiving yards (264) and with a drop rate of 6.5 percent, which ranks 125th in the NFL, per ESPN Stats & Information research. He now has four drops on the season.Well, again, its all speculation, obviously, but I think sometimes as athletes, you put so much pressure on yourself to perform, Pederson said. Then when it maybe doesnt quite work out in your favor, [the] outside influences, i.e., the media and fans, put more pressure on you to perform [because] youre a top pick and you need to perform. All that pressure on a player is not good. So in Nelsons case, sometimes like I mentioned, sometimes maybe you have to take a step back and maybe you have to see it differently and view it differently. These are all conversations that he and I will have this week. And again, the wellbeing of the player and the person [is more important] to me than [his performance] as an athlete and receiver.Pederson said its not a matter of effort.Ive seen him trying to just do things a little out of character for him, and thats obviously a sign that maybe things are not going well for him, he said. As athletes, youve got to let the game sort of come to you, and I feel like hes maybe pressing just a little bit and trying to do things -- and hes doing everything right. Listen, hes working hard. Hes getting work after practice and doing everything right. Were just going to continue to work. ' ' '
