Adidas intends to end its deal with U.S. suppliers and move its NBA uniform operation to Thailand. The move would cost about 100 jobs in upstate New York. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is urging them to stay put.
The NBA should have required as part of the contract that Adidas continue to utilize U.S. suppliers. In this economy, it reflects poorly on the NBA that its apparel supplier is picking up and moving to Asia.

Turner likely to sit vs. Bucs
Falcons running back Michael Turner is still nursing an ankle injury and is unlikely to practice or face the Buccaneers on Sunday. Jason Snelling will continue to get the bulk of the rushing load, although Jerious Norwood might be active after practicing some last week.
Cooley probably heading for the IR
Redskins tight end Chris Cooley said on Tuesday that he’ll probably wind up on injured reserve at some point this season. He had hoped to come back at some point this year, but his ankle injury is too severe. With Washington out of playoff contention, it makes sense that Cooley would call it a season.
Johnson could miss Thanksgiving Day game
The Lions could be without their two star players when they host the Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Calvin Johnson is dealing with hand and knee injuries and is doubtful to play. Matthew Stafford is also unlikely to play after suffering a shoulder injury in a win over the Browns last Sunday.
Bulger out 3-6 weeks
Rams quarterback Marc Bulger is out 3-6 weeks with a broken tibia. He suffered the injury in a loss to the Cardinals last Sunday and might miss the remainder of the season. Kyle Boller will probably start in his place, although rookie Keith Null might get a shot as well.

LSU head coach Les Miles accepted blame for the Tigers’ collapse last Saturday against Ole Miss, although it appears that he isn’t accepting blame for everything.
“As part of the process, I evaluate everything we do — players and coaches,” Miles continued. “I’m part of that process. I’m no different than anybody in this team room. I mismanaged the back end of the Ole Miss game.
“I’m responsible. I’m the head coach.”
The signal-caller on the sidelines (graduate assistant John Dunn) told Jefferson to spike the ball.
“To try to get the ball snapped with one second was certainly our greatest desire,” Miles said. “There was a possibility of Ole Miss having 12 men on defense. That came down from the press box.
Here’s the problem: Miles was the one that was signaling for Jefferson to spike the clock, as evidence by the video below.
Miles wants to take blame for what happened and he should, because that’s what head coaches do. But why did he not take blame for motioning to Jefferson to stop the clock? Jefferson says that the signal-caller told him to spike the ball and maybe he did, but Miles was clearly doing the motion too, yet he says he doesn’t know who told the quarterback to spike the clock.
At the end of the day, this will go down as just a massive screw up by all parties involved and LSU will just have to move on and get over it. It was just a bad ending in a bad loss, but I find it interesting that Miles won’t admit that he too was motioning for Jefferson to stop the clock. If he’s going to accept blame for the loss, he might as well go the whole nine yards and admit that he screwed up by listening to the press box and giving Jefferson the spike motion too.
