Glamorgan 291 for 7 (Rudolph 76*, Selman 52, Magoffin 3-47) v SussexScorecard Skipper Jacques Rudolph held Glamorgans batting together with an unbeaten half-century on an attritional first day in their Specsavers County Championship match against Sussex.A slow Hove pitch which encouraged Sussex to play legspinner Will Beer for the first time in a four-day match for nearly three years proved hard work for stroke players but Rudolph defied a persistent attack to reach 76 at stumps with Glamorgan on 291 for 7, having won the toss.Earlier, Australian Nick Selman had made his maiden Championship fifty in only his second appearance while Beer had reason to celebrate too when he picked up his first wicket in the competition at Hove, eight years after making his debut for the county.But it proved to be a day suited to someone with Rudolphs phlegmatic temperament. The South African hardly played a false shot in more than three-and-a-half hours at the crease. So far he has faced 168 balls and hit eight fours.Sussex kept plugging away and they clearly enjoyed Beers big moment when he ended a stand of 61 for the fourth wicket between Aneurin Donald and Rudolph by bowling Donald (29) off an inside edge as he shaped to cut in what is only Beers tenth first-class match.Selman had earlier shared stands of 41 with Mark Wallace (20) and 65 with Will Bragg (29) as Sussex enjoyed just one success before lunch when Wallace was squared up by Stuart Whittingham and edged behind.Selman was dropped on 25 by Whittingham as he dived forward at long leg but after lunch Whittingham defeated Selmans forward push with a nip-backer after hed made 52 (109 balls, 6 fours) before Bragg was smartly taken at second slip by Chris Nash.Sussex employed four spinners and the quartet bowled a third of their overs but it was their seamers who made further inroads when they took the new ball.Steve Magoffin took his second wicket with his first delivery with it as David Lloyd was lbw playing down the wrong line after contributing 37 to a fifth wicket stand of 69 in 23 overs with Rudolph.Ajmal Shahzad picked up belated reward when Graham Wagg (7) edged a drive to slip before Craig Meschede top-edged a hook off Magoffin and was caught at second slip for a duck. But debutant Owen Thomas hooked Magoffin for six in his unbeaten 15 as Glamorgan avoided further loss before the close. Hector Herrera Jersey .

Those are the days the Detroit Lions will face their arch rivals, the Chicago Bears, this season. After spending nine years in the Windy City, the Canadian defensive lineman will don the Lions colours this season after signing a one-year deal in Motown as a free agent. The six-foot-six, 271-pound Idonije, a native of Nigeria who grew up in Brandon, Man., has no axe to grind against his former team. "Every week you prepare to play a different team, thats football," Idonije said during a telephone interview this week. "I know its a business and its all part of it. "Chicago has a new regime there and wanted its own people and I understand that. Now, Im just looking forward to suiting up and getting after it on the field twice a year when we play the Bears. I feel the same way when I play the Cleveland Browns because I was with them my first year and I always make sure they remember I was once a Brown." The articulate Idonije originally signed with Cleveland in 2003 as an undrafted free agent following his college career at Brandon. He began the season on the Browns practice roster but was waived before joining Chicagos practice roster later that year. Idonije spent nine seasons with the Bears, registering 28.5 career sacks and 272 tackles over 134 career games. He had a career-best 7.5 sacks last year and new GM Phil Emery -- who hired former CFL head coach Marc Trestman this off-season -- wanted Idonije back but at substantially less than the US$2.5 million the 32-year-old defensive lineman earned in 2012. Idonije had met with both Tennessee and San Francisco this off-season before reaching an agreement with Detroit. Contract details werent divulged but Idonije will reportedly receive $1.005 million with the Lions -- the $940,000 veteran minimum along with a $65,000 signing bonus. Idonije gives the Lions plenty of flexibility on its defensive line as he played both tackle and end effectively in Chicago. The expectation is Idonije will see more time on the outside with Detroit given that Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley have established themselves as starters at tackle. The addition of Idonije would also give the Lions the luxury of bringing defensive lineman Ziggy Ansah, the fifth overall selection in this years NFL draft, along slowly. Althouggh he signed a one-year contract, Idonije says he has plenty of good football left.dddddddddddd "I think I have two, three great years still in me," he said. "My first six years I didnt really play a lot and I think that helped save my body. "The last three years Ive been able to play at a high level and Im looking forward to doing what I can to help the Detroit Lions win a championship." Idonije played in Super bowl XLI when Chicago squared off against Indianapolis in the rain at Miami but it was the Colts who hoisted the Lombardi Trophy afterwards following a 29-17 victory. While Idonije will have to adjust to a new team and city, there will be a sense of familiarity for him in Detroit. The Lions, like the Bears, are part of the NFC North (Green Bay and Minnesota are the other division rivals) which means theyll play six games against teams Idonije has faced often over his NFL career. "Detroit just seemed like the best fit for me," he said. "When you look at the guys Ill be lining up with (on the defensive line) and all the weapons they have on offence, it was a great opportunity. "Its tough leaving Chicago after being there so long . . . but again you have to look at this as a business. When you do, it becomes easier to make that adjustment and focus on the next step." Idonije certainly stayed busy while his football future sorted itself out this off-season. He operates Blessed Communion -- a company that manufactures communion products -- as well as his charity, the Israel Idonije Foundation, both in Chicago. And earlier this year Idonije unveiled "The Protectors," his debut comic book series roughly three years after he created Altheta Comics, a publishing company. "Its something I started working on in 2007 at training camp," Idonije said. "Its a story about athletes who must save the world from an evil force looking to enslave all of humanity." Idonije comes by his love of comics honestly, saying he became a big fan of them as a youth. His first exposure was with a Green Lantern series and he became hooked immediately. But dont expect Idonije to feature himself in The Protectors. "No, not at all," he said. "I just think were telling a great story and Ive got a few more Id like to see unfold in the future." ' ' '
