ByMichaelWagaman TheAssociatedPress ALAMEDA Donald Penn isn't getting much sleep at home these days, not with a 2-month-old daughter to take care of. The Oakland Raiders' veteran left tackle has been trying to catch up at nights following the team's offsea- son workouts. Even then, there hasn't been much time to rest. With a new offensive sys- tem to learn and a new line coach to work with — not to mention a third head coach in two years — Penn has plenty to deal with. "During the week I am (sleeping), when I'm out here," Penn said Tuesday. "When I get home on the weekends, I try to pick up the slack a little bit here and there. It's all fun." Not that the offsea- son hasn't been eventful enough for the 32-year-old Penn. In February, he and his wife were at their South- ern California home with their two children when an intruder jumped a se- curity fence and smashed through the front door. Penn got into a physical confrontation with the man and eventually sub- dued him, pinning him down until police arrived. Even though no one in his family was hurt, the incident clearly left Penn shaken nearly four months after it happened. "I don't even want to talk about that," Penn said. "We got through that. I don't wish that on anybody and I hope nothing like that ever happens again." The same could be said about Penn's first year in Oakland. While the 6-foot-4, 330-pounder had a solid season — he was the ranked seventh overall among all tackles in the NFL and fifth in pass blocking according to ProFootballFocus.com — the Raiders finished 3-13 and out of the playoffs for a 12th consecutive year. Interim coach Tony Sparano, whom Penn vo- cally supported to keep the job, was not brought back. Instead, owner Mark Davis and general manager Reg- gie McKenzie revamped the coaching staff and hired Jack Del Rio, who in turn hired veteran offen- sive line coach Mike Tice. It didn't take long for Tice, a former NFL player and head coach, to win Penn over. "He makes sure we work when it's time to work," Penn said. "The best part is he really keeps the room loose and keeps it going. Each offensive line coach is different. Coach Tice has a different technique than coach Sparano did. I think we're picking it up fast." NFL Le tacklePennoptimistic about 2015 Raiders team JEFFCHIU—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Donald Penn has a new offensive system to learn and a new line coach to work with — not to mention a third head coach in two years. read a six-minute state- ment in French before ex- iting without taking ques- tions. Blatter had been defiant and feisty in the same room Saturday, fending off ques- tions about FIFA's battered reputation and the chance he could be arrested. His mood had changed in the 24 hours before his announcement, Blatter aide Walter Gagg told The Associated Press. A federal indictment last week detailed appar- ent bribes from a FIFA account totaling $10 mil- lion to senior officials for voting South Africa as the 2010 World Cup host. Late Monday, reports laid a clearer trail of complic- ity to the door of FIFA headquarters, if not Blat- ter himself. "We know that in the last 48 hours he was think- ing of the future and per- haps what happened in the last hours, this gave him the conviction," Gagg, a long-time confidante of Blatter, told the AP in a telephone interview. "We had lunch with him yesterday (Monday). He was relaxed, he was fine," Gagg said. "I had a very good meeting with him early in the morn- ing (today). Then came the different information from the U.S. with this and that." FIFA FROM PAGE 1 Grand Slam tournaments. "I tried many things," Federer said. "Obviously I was not going to leave the French Open without hav- ing tried everything out there." During the eight French Opens from 2005 to 2012, Federer reached at least the semifinals seven times, in- cluding winning the 2009 championship to complete a career Grand Slam. But this is the third year in a row he exits Roland Garros in the quarterfinals or earlier. Give Wawrinka credit. Powering the ball from the baseline in Court Suzanne Lenglen on a windy day, he produced groundstrokes that cut through gusts top- ping 30 mph (50 kph). "I'm a little bit surprised to win that match in three sets and the way I did," Wawrinka said, "but it's a great feeling." Over at Court Philippe Chatrier, Tsonga's 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3 victory over No. 5 Kei Nishikori was interrupted for about 40 minutes when one per- son was injured after a 9-foot-long (3-meter- long) piece of metal pan- eling was blown off a gi- ant TV screen and fell onto packed rows of spectators below. French Open organizers originally said three people were hurt, but tournament director Gilbert Ysern later said two were fine after being checked at an infir- mary. One went to the hos- pital for an injured wrist. When he finally defeated Nishikori, who was trying to become the first Jap- anese man to reach the French semifinals in 82 years, Tsonga knelt on the court, then rose and used the sole of his right shoe to write "Roland, je t'aime" — "I love you, Roland" — in the clay. Open FROM PAGE 1 something, will surely have to give in this matchup. "Our defense is the best in the league, but we're looking forward to the challenge," Bogut said. James had little trou- ble slicing through Golden State's smothering pres- sure in the lone game he played against the War- riors this season. He scored a season-high 42 points in the Cavs' 110-99 win in Cleveland on Feb. 26, shot 15 of 25 from the floor and made 8 of 11 free throws. Warriors coach Steve Kerr called it "one of those games where he was mak- ing everything." He said the key to avoiding a re- peat performance is clog- ging the paint and avoid- ing turnovers that lead to transition baskets. "Sometimes your best de- fense is your offense," Kerr said. "You can't get crazy with the ball. A live-ball turnover with LeBron is just a dunk at the other end." James, who is in his fifth straight finals, has been brilliant in the play- offs. He averaged 27.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game while shooting 42.8 per- cent against Boston, Chi- cago and Atlanta and of- ten looked flawless. The Warriors have been tight-lipped about how they'll go about defending James. But, like anybody, they believe there are ways to disrupt his rhythm. "We're all human, I would like to think," said Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala, who spent more time defending James than any other player on the team in the previous matchup, according to the SportVU tracking system. The Warriors are no strangers to stopping stars in these playoffs. James will be the fourth straight All-NBA First- Team player they face after Houston's James Harden, Memphis' Marc Gasol and New Orleans' Anthony Da- vis. The fifth member of that team is newly minted MVP Stephen Curry, whom James compared himself to last week when asked how to defend the Warriors point guard.

With runners at the cor- ners, Eric Sogard hit a sharp grounder to second base. He should have been out easily at first base. Second base- man Ian Kinsler, apparently under the assumption that the bases were full, threw to the plate. There was no force play there, and there was no runner.
