LOS ANGELES, Calif. Gilbert Perreault Jersey . - Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper surrendered to Los Angeles police after being named in a warrant involving a rape case in New Orleans. Sharper, 38, also is under investigation in sexual assault cases in Florida, Nevada and Arizona and has pleaded not guilty to rape charges in Los Angeles. Sharpers surrender Thursday night had been arranged in advance, LAPD Officer Bruce Borihan said. He was being held at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center. In a bail motion filed in the California case, Los Angeles County Investigator John Maccharella described a pattern in which the former football star met women at clubs or parties and lured them to a hotel room, where they were allegedly drugged and raped. Lawyers for Sharper, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2010 primarily with the Green Bay Packers, have said they would prove that any sexual contact Sharper engaged in was welcomed. The motion says the incidents happened in the past five months, with two occurring within a day in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Maccharella said he was told a woman went to a New Orleans bar with Sharper, consumed an alcoholic beverage provided by him and blacked out. She awoke the next morning while being sexually assaulted, the bail motion stated, noting that an exam later showed Sharpers DNA was present. Another man facing rape charges in the New Orleans case turned himself in to police there on Friday. Erik Nunez, 26, was booked on two counts of aggravated rape stemming from alleged assaults last September in New Orleans, police said. Police issued warrants on Thursday for Sharper and Nunez. They face charges in the alleged rape of two women at the same location Sept. 23, police spokeswoman Remi Braden said. Sharpers New Orleans-based lawyer, Nandi Campbell, and lawyer Leonard B. Levine, who represents Sharper in the California case, did not return telephone calls seeking comment. Braden said she did not know whether Nunez had a lawyer. The assault investigation in New Orleans is ongoing and additional arrests are possible, Braden said. If convicted in the California case, Sharper could face more than 30 years in state prison. If convicted of aggravated rape in Louisiana, both Sharper and Nunez could face life imprisonment. Sharper was selected All-Pro six times and chosen for the Pro Bowl five times. He played in two Super Bowls, one with the Green Bay Packers as a rookie and a second with the New Orleans Saints. Sharper retired after the 2010 season. He is an analyst for the NFL Network, which has suspended him indefinitely without pay. http://www.sabreshockeyshop.us/Pat-Lafontaine-Jersey/ . Hartley missed two field goals in Sundays 27-16 loss at St. Louis, dropping his conversion rate to a career-low 73.3 percent (22-for-30) this season. The 27-year-old joined the Saints in the middle of the 2008 campaign and his tenure with the club was highlighted by three kicks of more than 40 yards during Super Bowl XLIV, helping New Orleans beat the Indianapolis Colts. Dominik Hasek Jersey .J. -- Rex Ryan was fired up. (Sports Network) - The Boston Red Sox were finally able to get the better of the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Now the current American League leaders will shoot for a second consecutive win over their recent nemesis when the two divisional foes wrap up a three-game series from Tropicana Field this evening. The defending AL East champion Rays had taken the first three meetings between the rivals this season, but the Red Sox were able to exact some revenge behind last nights magnificent performance by Josh Beckett. The Boston ace twirled a one-hitter for his fifth career shutout in leading his team to a 3-0 victory. Beckett allowed only a single Tampa Bay baserunner -- an infield single to Reid Brignac in the third inning -- and set down the final 19 batters he faced in notching his first complete game since July 21, 2009. The veteran right- hander added six strikeouts and needed just 97 pitches to go the distance. Kevin Youkilis gave Beckett all the support he would need in the top of the seventh, when the third baseman launched a three-run homer off Jeremy Hellickson to break a scoreless deadlock. I told myself to sit back and if [Hellickson] threw me a fastball I was going to turn on it, recalled Youkilis. I was fortunate to get a good piece of it. Hellickson pitched well in a losing cause, with the rookie surrendering just four hits and a pair of walks before being removed after seven frames. His effort followed a gem by teammate James Shields, who limited the Red Sox to five hits over nine innings in Tampa Bays 4-0 triumph during Tuesdays series opener. This whole series has been really all about [pitching], said Rays manager Joe Maddon. Thats why I think were going to be back-and-forth with these guys all season. Rays designated hitter Johnny Damon went 0-for-4 off Beckett in Wednesdays loss, which snapped the one-time BBoston fan favorites franchise-record streak of reaching base at 39 consecutive games. Josh Gorges Sabres Jersey. Boston improved its AL-best record to 40-27 and prevailed for the 10th time in its last 11 contests. However, the Red Sox have dropped 10 of their 14 most recent matchups to the Rays and havent posted wins over Tampa Bay in back-to- back days since registering a three-game sweep at the Trop from May 24-26 of last season. The Red Sox may have their hands full in trying to accomplish that feat tonight, with Tampa Bay set to send the formidable David Price to the mound in the finale. The 2010 All-Star owns a 4-2 record with a 3.18 earned run average over six career regular-season starts against Boston and fired 7 2/3 innings of two-run ball to down the Sox at Fenway Park back in April. Price wasnt at his best last time out, however, when the standout lefty was reached for four runs in six innings of a no-decision at Baltimore this past Saturday. In his three previous outings, the former No. 1 overall pick went 2-1 with an excellent 1.64 ERA and racked up 27 strikeouts over a span of 22 innings. Boston skipper Terry Francona will counter with an All-Star of his own in Clay Buchholz, who returned from an extended rest with a very sharp showing at Toronto on Friday. The hard-throwing righty held the Blue Jays to one run and only three hits while fanning six over seven innings to help Boston record a 5-1 win. Buchholz had been rocked for six runs (five earned) over 4 2/3 innings in his prior start, a no-decision against Oakland on June 3, then was given two extra days off because of a sore back. The 26-year-old is 3-2 with an impressive 1.81 ERA in seven lifetime encounters with the Rays and 2-1 with a 2.30 ERA over four career visits to Tropicana Field. He did not face Tampa Bay in the teams earlier series this season. Cheap JerseysWholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
