(SportsNetwork. Balenciaga Speed Trainer Cheap .com) - There was already a pretty good chance that the final stop in Kevin Williams football career was going to be in northeast Ohio. As an 11-year Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle, Williams fit in nicely with the franchises identity for producing Hall of Fame defensive linemen. Two of the famed Purple People Eaters -- Alan Page and Carl Eller -- are enshrined in Canton and a third one, Jim Marshall, probably should be. The 1980s and 90s generated two more HOF Purple pass rushers in Chris Doleman and John Randle, while the current generation has produced three resumes that will be looking for the stamp of approval in the coming years, Jared Allen, Pat Williams and Kevin himself. Williams, an Oklahoma State product taken with the ninth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, was the best three-technique in football for years while in Minneapolis, amassing six-time Pro Bowl berths and five All-Pro nods with the Vikings. The 6-foot-5, 321-pound Arkansas native is the epitome of country strong, a living, breathing definition of functional football strength, and the kind of guy who always put even the best interior offensive linemen on skates. At 34 though Williams is no longer the star and clearly a player who has lost some of the first-step quickness that defined him as a Viking. And Williams is far closer to the end of his career than the beginning, a reality that prompted him to leave the only professional existence he had ever known, the rebuilding Vikings, in an attempt to check the last box for admittance to Canton, a Super Bowl championship. While shopping for a new home, Williams was looking for two things, a team with the talent to win it all and a proven, battle-tested quarterback to get them there. Interestingly, the two clubs at the top of his wish list are the combatants in Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, Williams, of course, signed a one-year, $2.1 million deal with the Seahawks back in June of 2014 and is scheduled to be the teams starting nose tackle in the big game. Its awesome, man, Williams said on Monday. Im still kind of in a little disbelief, how we got it done and how the (the NFC Championship Game) unfolded. Now Im back to concentrating on lets get this other win now. Williams was brought in as a rotational player on Seattles front in an effort to increase his effectiveness after a decade-plus of piling up major repetitions for the Vikings. The thought was that the lighter workload would enable the aging star to maximum his production, understanding he could leave it all out on the field for 25 or 30 plays a game. The plan was working well as Williams was solid if unspectacular while averaging 26.7 reps a game through his first nine contests with the Seahawks with a high of 41 against Dallas in Week 6. Things changed from there, however, as Williams was forced to take over the nose tackle position when run-stuffer Brandon Mebane was lost for the season with a hamstring injury. In his later years in Minnesota many thought a move to the nose was the way to go for Williams but the veteran always resisted it despite an impressive 2 1/2 sack cameo at the position in 2013. In Seattle, where Williams had no history as a great under tackle, he has embraced his new role and taken over for Mebane as the starter since Week 11. The workload has increased a bit, especially over the past month as the stakes have gotten bigger and for the most part Williams has come through, most recently contributing four tackles, including one for loss, in the Seahawks overtime win over his old rivals with the Vikings, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, in the NFC Championship Game. Its kind of unique how things happened, Williams said. You come in to help contribute wherever you can, you lose one of your starting players to injury and youre moving to the nose. Im just trying to do whatever Im called upon to do and make plays. When ones professional mortality approaches, many players undergo the same metamorphosis Williams has. Its no longer about money or personal accolades, its about the ring. And holding the Lombardi Trophy is the only reason Williams uprooted himself and landed in Seattle for one last run at the games ultimate prize. You play a long time, you get the contracts, you make All-Pros and all that stuff, he said. But you want to play in a Super Bowl. And to be able to do that with this great group of guys, its tremendous.

The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday. Webber, who is fifth in the championship, earned his second pole from the past three races and 13th of his career. "Good day," Webber said, who clocked 1 minute, 39.957 seconds. Vettel timed 1:40.075. "It was a good lap on a track that, in the past, hasnt been super invigorating for me in terms of layout but we certainly enjoyed qualifying today. I knew I had to work on certain sections of the track which Sebastian had already been doing a good job there, so I needed to match him and keep the areas where I was still doing well." Vettel, who already has his fourth straight F1 title, took pole in four of the past five races. "I did what I could today but it wasnt enough. Thats why I apologized to the team. I messed up a bit on turn 1, its a tricky corner," Vettel said. "I think its a great result for the team, first of all." Mercedes starts on the second row, with Nico Rosberg ahead of Lewis Hamilton, who spun his car in the closing seconds. "Nico and Lewis looked very strong, especially in Q2," Vettel said. "We found some extra speed in Q3, so congratulations to Mark. He deserved to be on pole, no mistakes." It proved a disappointing afternoon for Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, who failed to make Q3 for the first time this season and starts from 11th on the grid. Mercedes is battling with Ferrari for second place in the constructors championship behind Red Bull, which has already won the title. Mercedes leads Ferrari by 313-309, with Lotus back in fourth with 285. "Third place, best of the rest, which is our target for this weekend," Rosberg said. "The constructors is what counts for us. So thats a very good result for us." But Mercedes will have to assess what happened to Hamiltons car. Nike Air Max 270 Wholesale. "Something gave way on the right-hand side," Hamilton said. "I was going through the chicane and it snapped out. I tried to pull away and it wouldnt move." Hamilton has won one race this season -- clinching victory at the Hungarian GP from pole position in July -- but has not managed a podium finish in his past five outings. "This is a very difficult circuit to overtake on so being at the front means everything," Hamilton said. "Hopefully we can get a good start and maybe still challenge for podium positions." Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen qualified in fifth spot but was demoted to the back of the grid after his car failed a post-qualifying floor deflection test. Lotus successfully argued that floor damage caused by track kerbing led to a similar failure by Lotus driver Romain Grosjean at the Hungarian GP, but this time their explanation was not accepted. Raikkonens exclusion elevates Saubers Nico Hulkenberg to fifth place and moves Ferraris Felipe Massa up to seventh and teammate Alonso back into the top 10. It has been a frustrating weekend for 2007 champion Raikkonen, who on Friday made a rare public outburst over unpaid wages and threatened not to race in the final two races of the season. Meanwhile, Alonsos qualifying form has been so bad that he has not even made the second row since qualifying third for the Bahrain GP in April. Massa, meanwhile, has made the top three only once, qualifying in second spot for the Malaysian GP a month earlier. Because qualifying and the race itself are held at twilight, when the track is considerably cooler at sunset, only a limited amount of useful data could be gained from early afternoon practice runs, when the daily temperature peaked. But Ferrari continued to struggle on the twisty circuit, just as it did on Friday, with Fernando Alonso down in 11th and Felipe Massa placing 14th in the final practice run. The design of the track, with its long, sharp turns and hairpin bends, exposes the lack of traction on the Ferraris, an ongoing problem this season and last. Neither Ferrari driver finished higher than eighth over the three practice runs. ' ' '
