Dave Chisnall and Michael Smith crashed out of this years Premier League Darts as Robert Thornton avoided the chop on Judgement Night in Cardiff. Thornton confirmed his survival without throwing a dart as Smith and Chisnall condemned themselves to elimination with defeats to Phil Taylor and Peter Wright, respectively.Netherlands heavyweights Raymond van Barneveld and Michael van Gerwen then provided a fitting dust-up to round-off the action, ultimately sharing the points after Barney missed a dart for the win. Raymond van Barneveld was disappointed after his draw with Michael van Gerwen He faltered on double 16 when leading 6-5, allowing Van Gerwen to break his throw, then seal a draw in the following leg. A third consecutive Premier League week without a victory for Van Gerwen means he now sits second in the table. Robert Thornton admitted he could play with no pressure after Dave Chisnall and Michael Smiths defeats Earlier, Smith was eliminated in his debut Premier League campaign despite a battling effort against Taylor, who is now top of the standings after a 7-5 win.Smith was condemned to 10th place in the league but put up a gutsy fight, matching Taylor shot-for-shot until the crucial conclusion when his will seemed broken by the 16-time world champion. Check out Michael Smiths defeat to Phil Taylor that spelled the end of his season Smith, who ended with just three points from nine matches, responded to going a break down by immediately hitting back but missed a dart at double tops to go 6-5 up. Instead, Taylor went ahead and Smith had no response in the following leg.Chisnall then followed Smith out of the tournament after going down 7-5 to Wright.Chizzy fell two breaks behind to Wright, who is sixth in the table, but immediately closed the gap to 4-6, then pulled one more leg back as Snakebite faltered on a 170 finish. Watch Dave Chisnalls exit after losing to Peter Wright At 5-6 behind, Chisnall could have only hoped for a draw which would have temporarily put him above Thornton in the league table. But Wright took the final leg, handing Thornton a reprieve.The Scotsman, able to play a more relaxed match with Adrian Lewis than he might have anticipated, went on to lose 7-4 but remain in eighth. Lewis secured the crucial break to go 2-1 ahead and never looked likely to surrender that lead - registering a result that takes him to fourth in the league.Earlier, Gary Anderson recovered from 3-0 down to salvage a draw against James Wade despite an error-strewn display. Watch the moment Gary Anderson got his numbers horribly wrong! The reigning champion missed 13 of his first 14 doubles, and bizarrely went bust when aiming for just eight, but still battled back to earn a point that takes him level on points with Van Gerwen.Anderson had a dart to win the match after breaking Wades throw to go 6-5 ahead. Wade eventually matched the break to go one point shy of the top four.After six more weeks of competition, the top four in the table will progress to the play-offs at the O2 Arena in London.Premier League Darts Judgement Night results:James Wade 6-6 Gary AndersonPhil Taylor 7-5 Michael SmithPeter Wright 7-5 Dave ChisnallAdrian Lewis 7-4 Robert ThorntonRaymond van Barneveld 6-6 Michael van Gerwen Also See: Fixtures/Results On Sky TV Prem Table Darts betting Get Sky Sports Air Force 1 On Sale .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

Air Force 1 Grey Outlet .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. SAN DIEGO -- Joey Bosas holdout turned ugly Wednesday when the San Diego Chargers pulled their contract offer to the first-round draft pick and said theyll restructure a new deal that would reflect him playing less than a full season.Bosa has missed all of training camp as his agents and the team wrangle over how much of his $17 million signing bonus hell get up front, as well as offset language in the case he gets cut.The Chargers were counting on the former Ohio State star to help bolster their pass rush and bring some excitement to a season that could be pivotal to their future in San Diego.Its not clear whether Bosa, the No. 3 pick overall, is willing to sit out the season. Also unclear is how the situation could affect the Chargers push for $1.1 billion in a public subsidy for a new downtown stadium, which could be their last chance at remaining in San Diego.At the very least, the team is willing to continue to play hardball with Bosa.The Chargers said in a statement that they gave Bosas agents their best offer on Tuesday night, and it was rejected Wednesday.The offer that we extended was for Joey to contribute during all 16 games and beyond, the team said. Joeys ability to contribute for an entire rookie season has now been jeopardized by the valuable time he has missed with his coaches and his teammates. Since Joey will not report at this time, his ability to produce not just early in the season, but throughout the entire season, has been negatively impacted.Bosa is the only first-rounder who has not signed with his team.San Diego said it offered an initial signing bonus payment larger than any draftee received in the past two drafts, and more money in 2016 than any draftee except Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz.One of Bosas agents, Brian Ayrault said in a statement that it was unfortunate the San Diego Chargers have decided to manipulate facts and negotiate in the media. The team surely is not strengthening its relationship with Joey Bosa by taking this stance and making their position public.He added that the Chargers can focus on trying to sway public opinion, but our focus will remain on our client and securing a contract for him that is fair and consistent with his draft position.Asked twice via text if Bosa was prepared to sit out the entire season, Ayrault didnt answer.One of Bosas agents at CAA Sports, Tom Condon, has sparred plenty with the Chargers over the years. He represented Eli Manning, whose family didnt want the Chargers to take him with the No.dddddddddddd1 pick overall in 2004. San Diego took him anyway, and then traded him to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers. Condon also represented Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson and Marty Schottenheimer, all of whom had unhappy departures from the team.The rhetoric accelerated earlier this month when Cheryl Bosa, Joeys mother, posted a remark toward the Chargers on Facebook. In a reply to someone frustrated by the impasse, she wrote: It bums me out for him so much. Wish we pulled an Eli Manning on draft day.Bosas father, John, is a former first-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins.The Chargers statement on Bosa came just 30 minutes after they released an economic study that shows a combined downtown stadium and an off-site expansion to the citys convention center will result in a significant positive impact on San Diegos convention and hotel industry. The Chargers will ask voters on Nov. 8 to approve a 4 percent increase in the hotel tax to help pay for the $1.8 billion project.Three other studies have been released showing that the benefits of the project wont match its cost.The Chargers already face an uphill fight. The measure must receive two-thirds of the vote to pass, a number considered impossible to obtain in San Diego.The team has recently started attacking City Councilman Chris Cate, who said that while he wants the Chargers to stay, hes opposed to the downtown stadium plan. Mayor Kevin Faulconer has remained silent on the Chargers downtown plans. Faulconer wanted the Chargers to build a new stadium at the site of aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.The Chargers spent most of 2015 working with the rival Oakland Raiders on a plan to build a stadium in Carson, a Los Angeles suburb. NFL owners rejected that plan in January, choosing instead a plan that allowed the Rams to move to Los Angeles and build a stadium in Inglewood set to open in 2019.The league gave the Chargers the right to join the Rams in that stadium. The Chargers have until Jan. 15 to decide on relocation.Also Wednesday, the Chargers said defensive end Damion Square has been suspended four games without pay for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
