EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Its been a long time since Tom Coughlin had a chance to enjoy the day after a game — a real long time.Coughlin wasnt able to put his feet on his desk Monday in the wake of a 36-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. There were game tapes to review, meetings with coaches, front office and medical personnel and the little things that go into being a head coach.What wasnt hanging over his head were questions about the Giants losing streak. It ended at seven on Sunday.There were no questions about what he said to the team to boost their moral or even ones about his own future as the Giants coach with the team (4-9) not making the playoffs for a third straight season.There was good news, too. Eli Manning seemingly came out of the game healthy.Mondays are hectic, probably a more difficult day for a head coach more than a lot of days because your emotions dont go away, Coughlin said.The build-up to the game, the game itself, the emotions, win or lose, the emotions are certainly different. The next day when you lose is an extremely difficult day because you have all of these emotions on top of the facts of the day before, and you are striving to make the corrections and pull people together and understand why you didnt win, etc., etc., etc.The Giants win was their first since the opening weekend in October.When you win, it reinforces what you are doing and it does make for a better day, Coughlin said.If there was any concern after the game, it was Mannings health. He wasnt sacked in the game and didnt seem to hurt himself. However, the 33-year-old seemed to spend more time than normal in the trainers room after the game having his shoulder examined.Coughlin said his belief was that Manning was sore and was icing his shoulder as a precaution. Since the players were off Monday, Manning would not be back in the building until Tuesday.He will start out in the weight room and if he needs to stop in the training room, he will do that, Coughlin said. It is normally just maintenance for him. I am not speaking out of turn, I dont know a lot about anything else. No one seems to be overly concerned.The other positive for the Giants was the play of their young players, particularly the rookies.First-round draft pick Odell Beckham Jr. had 11 catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Second-round pick Weston Richburg had a solid game at left guard, while third-round pick Jay Bromley was in the rotation in the defensive line.Fourth-round pick Andre Williams ran for a career-best 131 yards, including a 50-yard TD run, and fifth-round choice Devon Kennard came from his linebacker spot to record his second straight game with two sacks.In order to advance this team, these young guys have got to get great experience and they are starting to get it, Coughlin said.Second-year defensive end Damontre Moore also made the most of his expanded playing time, getting two of the teams eight sacks.NOTES: Tennessees 207 total yards and 61 yards rushing were the fewest allowed by the Giants this season. ... Despite missing the first four games with a hamstring injury, Beckham leads the Giants in receptions (59) and yards receiving (829). DE Jason Pierre-Paul leads the team with seven sacks after getting two more Sunday.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Chad Henne Chiefs Jersey . -- The Kelowna Rockets earned their 16th straight win with a 7-2 rout of the Portland Winterhawks in Western Hockey League action Thursday.

And now they have seen it for themselves.ATLANTA -- Major League Soccer is closing in on a deal with Falcons owner Arthur Blank to bring an expansion franchise to Atlantas new downtown stadium. The team would likely begin play in 2017, when the $1 billion retractable roof stadium is set to open next to the Georgia Dome to provide a new home for the NFL Falcons. "Our discussions with Major League Soccer continue, but we do not have a final agreement at this time," Kim Shreckengost, the chief administrative officer for Blanks AMB Group, said Tuesday in an email to The Associated Press. "We hope to complete the agreement soon, at which time we will make a formal announcement." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that a new team will be announced April 16. "We are continuing discussions with Arthur Blank to bring a Major League Soccer expansion team to Atlanta," said Dan Courtemanche, a spokesman for MLS. "However, we have not finalized an agreement at this time." The MLS has long coveted the Atlanta market, the largest in the U.S. without a team, as it moves toward its goal of expanding to 24 franchises. The 19-team league has already announced expansion franchises in New York City and Orlando that are scheduled to begin play next season, in addition to a provisional franchise in Miami owned by a group that includes David Beckham. That team is contingent oon a deal for a new soccer-specific stadium in south Florida.dddddddddddd There are no such concerns in Atlanta, where the Falcons new stadium was designed to accommodate an MLS team, providing Blank with additional revenue streams for the elaborate facility. While most MLS teams are moving toward smaller stadiums that are built solely for soccer, the Atlanta franchise would follow the model of teams in Seattle and Vancouver, which play in larger facilities downsized to provide a more intimate setting. For instance, Vancouvers BC Place has a curtain system that blocks off the upper deck, reducing capacity from 54,000 to 21,000. Atlantas new stadium will likely have a similar capability. Atlanta had two franchises in the old North American Soccer League. The Chiefs won the leagues first championship in 1968 but folded after the 1973 season, having spent their final year known as the Apollos. The Chiefs returned to the NASL in 1979 when the Colorado Caribous moved to Atlanta. That incarnation lasted only three seasons, never drawing as many as 8,000 fans a game before folding due to heavy financial losses. Atlanta has a team in a new version of the NASL, a league that ranks below MLS on the U.S. soccer ladder. The Silverbacks play at a 7,500-seat stadium on the outskirts of the city and are apparently not involved in talks on the MLS expansion team.
