Paul Gallen is one of the toughest and most passionate players ever to wear a New South Wales jersey but Queensland great Chris Close says he still doesnt deserve a State of Origin farewell.Gallen, who is due to play his final Origin game, made his Blues debut in 2006 - coincidentally, that was also the year the Maroons started their triumphant era of 10 series wins in 11 years.However, among the heartbreak there is one highlight.In 2014, Gallen captained the Blues to their solitary series victory but not even that can mask a dismal Origin record of just 15 wins from 23 previous attempts - a record not lost on Close.Hes a great player - hes been captain in six of the 10 losing Origin series for New South Wales; thats fantastic, Close told ESPN with more than a hint of sarcasm.I dont wish Paul Gallen any harm but its an absolute fact. I think hes a good player but I dont think hes a superstar.Gallen has always been as unpopular as daylight saving in Queensland, and its a status he is more than happy to embrace.His confrontational football style made him public enemy No. 1 in Queensland a very long time ago, and hes adopted a similarly aggressive approach off the field.Gallen famously described the Maroons fans as two-heads, and he fired another parting shot ahead of his Origin swansong.Ill say one thing about Queenslanders, I think theyre bad winners to be honest with you, Gallen said. I think theres a respectful hatred there.Theres that many times I go to Queensland with the Australian side and everyone says wed love to have you as a Queenslander any day of the week and I find that an insult.Its difficult to imagine Close as one of those Queenslanders. In fact, you get the feeling that the mere sight of the Cronulla captain in Origin III will infuriate him.Gallen escaped charge for a late slinging tackle on Parramatta hooker Isaac de Gois in an NRL match - fuelling Queenslands long-held belief that New South Wales receive preferential treatment.What a grubby act. If he can sit and watch that and justify it then hes a grub, Close said.Hes not learning from his past. I remember he got interviewed years ago and he said he wanted to show his kids that he wasnt the person that everybody thinks he is.He hasnt changed one bit. Branden Oliver Jersey . Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. Nigel Harris Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. http://www.chargersauthenticofficialonline.com/authentic-customized.html . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. Dan Feeney Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Rex Ryan took exception to?Colts owner Jim Irsays suggestion that the reason Indianapolis sat?Andrew Luck was that the Buffalo Bills coach doesnt let up in the preseason.Take a look at the tapes, and see how many times we blitzed, Ryan said before pausing to collect his thoughts.I can tell you one thing, [Colts coach] Chuck Paganos a good friend of mine, a legitimate, good friend of mine.

Pagano didnt waver when reminded that he was prepared to have Luck play a week earlier against Green Bay in the Hall of Fame game, before it was canceled because of an unplayable field.Its one of the benefits that you get when youre the head coach, Pagano said with a smile. You get to decide who plays and who doesnt play.Without Luck, backups Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris teamed up to pull off a victory.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
