ST. LOUIS -- Missouri Gov.-elect Eric Greitens said Monday he opposes taxpayer money to help build a new soccer stadium in St. Louis, calling the project nothing more than welfare for millionaires.Greitens comments, in an email statement, were made a day before the Missouri Development Finance Board is expected to vote Tuesday on a request to approve $40 million in state tax credits for the stadium.Plans for the new $200 million downtown stadium proposed by the group SC STL were unveiled in November as part of an effort to attract a Major League Soccer expansion team to St. Louis. In addition to state tax credits, the stadium is contingent on St. Louis voters approving $80 million in public funding in an April vote. The city would own the stadium and lease it to the MLS team in a 30-year agreement.Im opposed to spending taxpayer money to build a soccer stadium in St. Louis, Greitens, a Republican, said in his statement. This project is nothing more than welfare for millionaires. Right now, because of reckless spending by career politicians, we cant even afford the core functions of government, let alone spend millions on soccer stadiums. This back-room wheeling and dealing is exactly what frustrates Missourians. This type of politics as usual is coming to an end.Greitens, who defeated Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster in the November election, doesnt take office until Jan. 9. It wasnt immediately clear what action he could take once in office to remove tax credits if they are approved by the finance board. Messages left with a Greitens spokesman were not returned.Outgoing Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, has expressed support for state funding. MLS Commissioner Don Garber met with Nixon and potential investors during a visit to St. Louis last year. MLS has expressed interest in St. Louis as a site for future expansion, though no timetable has been established.A spokesman for SC STL said the group had just learned of Greitens statement and declined immediate comment.The current proposal would mean that taxpayers pay 60 percent of the stadium cost. SC STL has said it would pay the remaining 40 percent, along with league fees expected to be at least $150 million, any construction overrun costs and maintenance fees over the life of the lease. The group has estimated the combined cost of building a stadium and acquiring a team at $405 million.Critics of public funding for stadiums point to the dome that housed the St. Louis Rams during their two-decade stay before returning to Los Angeles this season. The dome, now empty except for occasional convention and sports uses, was paid for entirely with public money, a debt that wont be paid off for several years.A competing group also interested in building a soccer stadium has offered to join forces to eliminate the need for public financing, but SC STL has declined comment on the joint venture proposed by Foundry St. Louis.The open-air stadium would have 20,000 seats with the ability to expand to 28,500. It would sit next to St. Louis Union Station on land currently owned by the Missouri Department of Transportation. Wholesale Nike Shoes Authentic .

ATHENS, Ga. -- The honeymoon is over for Kirby Smart.Georgias rookie coach is dealing with his first defeat, a blowout at the hands of Mississippi, and things dont get any easier this week when No. 11 Tennessee visits Sanford Stadium for a Southeastern Conference game that has become a virtual must-win if the Bulldogs want to be a serious contender in the East Division.Weve always said around here, `Humility is a week away, said Smart, who certainly sounded more humble on Monday than he had at previous news conferences. When you talk about the SEC, you never get a chance to rest.Smart and the Bulldogs got a sampling of that last week in Oxford, where they fell behind 31-0 at halftime and 45-0 in the third quarter before a couple of meaningless touchdowns that did little to ease the sting of a 45-14 rout.Georgia (3-1, 1-1 SEC) barely held its place in The Associated Press rankings, plunging 13 spots to 25th.While Smart is always eager for his players to turn their attention to the next opponent, he doesnt want them to totally put aside the last game. There were myriad mistakes that need correcting, from about 15 missed tackles to at least five dropped passes, a couple of which mightve changed the course of the game.I dont think you ever forget it, Smart said, before adding, When youre playing a team like Tennessee, you better get over it quick.Georgias most immediate concern is the health of star running back Nick Chubb, who sustained a sprained left ankle in the first half and didnt return.Smart said its too soon to determine if Chubb will be able to play against the Volunteers (4-0, 1-0), who are riding high after a 35-point second half rallied them to a 38-28 victory over No. 23 Florida.Were obviously hopeful hell be able to do something, but we wont know more until later in the week, Smart said.If Chubb cant go, the Bulldogs still have plenty of options at tailback, from veterans Sony Michel and Brendan Douglas to freshmen Elijah Holyfield and Brian Herrien.Theres always a lot of good running backs at Georgia, so I think well be fine, Douglas said.A bigger issue for Georgia is the guys up front.Since an impressive showing in the season-opening win over North Carolina, the backs have struggled to find a lot of running room. The Bulldogs managed only 167 yards rushinng against FCS school Nicholls State, and they were held to 101 by Missouri.ddddddddddddThe Bulldogs did have 230 yards on the ground against Ole Miss, but most of it came after the Rebels had built a commanding lead and were basically trying to avoid big plays. Still, Smart was encouraged by the way his linemen blocked for the run.We actually improved in that area, he said. It was all the other areas that imploded on us.Indeed, freshman quarterback Jacob Eason completed just 16 of 36 passes for 137 yards and had one interception returned for a touchdown. It didnt help that he faced heavy pressure most of the game, leading to three sacks, or that his receivers dropped all those passes.Smart also was miffed at the way his defense played. The Rebels piled up 510 yards on offense, not exactly the sort of performance he was used to seeing in his previous job as Nick Sabans defensive coordinator at Alabama.Right now, were not a really good tackling defense, Smart said. The offenses we play, they get explosive plays on everybody. Its more about limiting those. How do I give up less? If we tackle better and you take nine of the 15 missed tackles away, then you take away about seven big plays.Tennessee will be playing its first true road game of the year, its only trip outside of Neyland Stadium being a neutral-site contest at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Volunteers have a shot at sweeping Florida and Georgia, the teams expected to be their toughest challengers in the East, which would be a commanding position even this early in the season.This will be our toughest challenge to date, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said Monday. They have our attention. They have our respect.Game notes Jones said he expects LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) to play Saturday but considers LB Darrin Kirkland Jr. questionable to doubtful. Kirkland has missed two games with a high ankle sprain.---AP Sports Writer Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tennessee contributed to this report.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
