ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Detroit Lions centre Dominic Raiola apologized Tuesday for "unacceptable" remarks he made to the University of Wisconsin band over the weekend as his team moved swiftly to defuse an off-the-field distraction. "My interaction with the Wisconsin Marching Band was inappropriate," Raiola said in a statement released by the Lions. "I apologize to those I offended along with all of the members of Wisconsins Marching Band. I also apologize to the Lions organization and my teammates. I understand the standards to which we should conduct ourselves, and my actions Sunday fell dramatically short of those standards." Raiola was not available for interviews in the Lions locker room when it was open for the media on Tuesday. The Lions said Raiola called band director Michael Leckrone to apologize for his actions and to say he was going to make a "significant donation" to support the band. A message was left on Tuesday for Leckrone. Band members said Raiola verbally abused them at Lambeau Field, where they were performing before and after Sundays Lions-Packers game. "After investigating the matter and discussing Sundays events with Dominic, we are pleased that he has taken ownership of his actions and admitted those actions were wrong and unacceptable," Lions president Tom Lewand said in a statement. "As we said (Monday), his actions were not reflective of the standard of behaviour that we expect from any player or any member of our organization. We are also pleased that he is supporting his apology with a significant donation." "Due to Dominics sincere and appropriate response, there will be no additional disciplinary action by the team," Lewand said. The NFL, though, may decide to fine Raiola. Detroit drafted Raiola in the second round in 2001 and the 13-year veteran is the longest-tenured member on the team. He has started 177 games and played in 193 over his career. Raiola has previously acknowledged being fined three times by the Lions. He was fined $15,000 in 2010 for his actions after beating the Miami Dolphins. He was filmed responding to a fan in Miami with obscene words and a hand gesture as he walked off the field following a victory. In 2008, he was docked $7,500 for inappropriate conduct directed toward fans during a loss at home to Minnesota. Raiola also said he was also fined for "doing stuff with the crowd" by former coach Steve Mariucci. Lori Berquam, Wisconsins dean of students, and Leckrone heard from Lewand on Monday, a day after the Packers beat Detroit 22-9. "Special opportunities such as playing before a Packers game are highlights for our band members: something they look forward to, and that we hope they will remember with pride," the school officials said. "We are proud of the way members of the UW Band have brought this matter to our attention." Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Jersey . The Los Angeles Clippers showed them just how ugly that life could be.

Johny Hendricks vs.GLENDALE, Ariz. - Watch out, NHL. The Los Angeles Kings are showcasing their suffocating defence again.It doesnt even matter who is in goal.Dustin Brown had two goals and an assist, Martin Jones stopped 26 shots, and the defending Stanley Cup champions beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-0 on Thursday night for their second straight shutout and third in four games.Two nights after Jonathan Quick stopped 31 shots against Boston, Jones extended the Kings defensive mastery in his first start since blanking Minnesota on Nov. 26.That was a really complete road game for us, said Jones, who secured his sixth career shutout in his 24th start. We did a really good job eliminating the Grade A scoring chances, and the chances that we did give up, those are pucks that Im expected to stop.It was a really solid game for everybody.Alec Martinez had a goal and an assist a day after agreeing to a contract extension, and Jared Stoll added a power-play goal late in the second period as the Kings snapped a five-game losing streak in Arizona.When were on our game — forechecking, getting the puck back and then not letting go of it — when we do that we kind of control the game, Brown said.Arizona goalie Mike Smith was yanked in another lacklustre performance that led to a 20-minute, players-only meeting after the game.The Coyotes gave up 42 shots and were shut out at home for the second straight game. They have lost six straight home games for the first time since early 2009.I think everyone had the opportunity to express themselves and what they think, Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. Its important to understand that no one will feel sorry for you. There will be a lot of people pointing fingers from the outside, and weve got to make sure were good from the inside.The Kings entered the night just 2-4-4 on the road, but had more energy in their third win in four games. And Jones is proving to be one of the top backup goalies in the league.ddddddddddddThe undrafted 24-year-olds best stop might have come on Tobias Rieders point-blank, short-handed attempt midway through the final period.Hes a pretty good goalie, Brown said. Hes really good at smothering the pucks. He doesnt give up a bunch of rebounds, and as a result theres not a lot of second opportunities on him.After Joe Vitale failed to get a shot off for Arizona in front midway through the second period, the Kings rushed the other way with precision. Browns shot through a screen beat Smith on the glove side at 9:57 to make it 2-0.Brown, who has nine points in eight games, got the Kings on the board when he intercepted Kyle Chipchuras poor pass in the neutral zone, then skated in alone and beat Smith stick-side at 8:59 of the first period for his fifth goal.The Kings put it out of reach late in the second with Chipchura serving a high-sticking penalty.Martinez, who got a six-year, $24 million extension, took a shot from the point, and Stoll slightly redirected the puck, which slowly squirted through Smith at 15:41.Coyotes coach Dave Tippett then pulled Smith, who stopped 17 shots, and replaced him with David Dubnyk.Smith entered with more wins (11-4-1) against Los Angeles than any other opponent. But Smith and the Coyotes have looked nothing like the team that lost to the Kings in the 2012 Western Conference finals as they lost for the seventh time in nine games.Youre paid to be a top player on your team, youve got to perform like one, Smith said. It hasnt happened. Its got to be better.NOTES: The Coyotes have gone eight periods at home without scoring. ... The Kings improved to 11-0-3 when they score first. ...
