BUFFALO, N. cheap jerseys .Y. -- While Jon Bon Jovi is interested in becoming an NFL owner one day, hes not currently pursuing the Buffalo Bills, the New Jersey rockers publicist told The Associated Press on Monday. "The Bills are not for sale, and he has too much respect for Mr. Wilson to engage in any discussions of buying the team," Ken Sunshine said, referring to Ralph Wilson, the teams Hall of Fame owner. Saying Bon Jovi has "a day job thats doing very well," Sunshine added: "Its preposterous to say hes had any discussions with the Bills and Erie County." Sunshine spoke by phone a day after CBSSports.com posted a story citing unidentified sources that Bon Jovi is among the parties positioning themselves to purchase the Bills after Wilsons death. Wilson, who turned 95 last month, has maintained he has no interest in selling the franchise during his lifetime. Sunshine didnt deny Bon Jovis interest in one day being an NFL owner, saying his client has made that no secret. Bon Jovi has developed relationships with several NFL power-brokers, including New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. His interest in football went so far as to lead a group to establish an Arena Football team in Philadelphia in 2004. Bon Jovi owned the team through 2009, when the AFL folded for one season. The future of the Bills is always a hot topic of discussion and speculation given Wilsons age and because he has ruled out the possibility of his family taking over the team after his death. The Bills will instead be sold, though that sale would likely be put off for a few years, with the franchise being operated through a trust. Wilson, who lives in suburban Detroit, has already scaled back his control of the team. On Jan. 1, Russ Brandon was promoted to the position of team president, giving him full control of the franchises day-to-day operations. The teams short-term future in Buffalo was also secured in December, when the Bills signed a 10-year lease with the state and Erie County to continue playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The $271 million deal includes a provision that essentially locks the Bills in for the next seven seasons. The franchise would have to pay $400 million if it decides to leave before 2020. The team then has the option of buying out the remaining three years of the lease for $28 million. Several groups have expressed interest in purchasing the Bills, including one led by Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. In response to the report regarding Bon Jovi, the Bills released a statement on Sunday, saying: "The organization does not respond to reports of the interest other parties may have in ownership or of speculation concerning various groups that may have such interest." Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz also issued a statement Sunday saying hes had no discussions with Bon Jovi. Sunshine disputed another portion of the CBSSports.com report, which cited unidentified music industry sources as saying Bon Jovis pursuit of an NFL team was likely connected to the dismissal of the bands longtime lead guitarist, Richie Sambora, in April. Sunshine said the split had nothing to do with Bon Jovis NFL aspirations and referred to previous reports that Sambora was never fired. He noted the guitarist said he was dropping out of the bands world tour because of "personal issues." Last week, Sambora told TMZ that hes been in contact with Bon Jovi and indicated he is open to rejoining the band.

Other than a couple of big swings by Josh Hamilton, he was up to the challenge. Garcia worked around two homers by Hamilton to remain undefeated against Texas for eight years and the New York Yankees beat the Rangers for the third straight night, 3-2 on Wednesday. The Yankees have held the ALs best offence to only four runs in the first three games of the four-game series. "Our guys have done a tremendous job," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I applaud our pitchers." Hamilton became the second player to reach 100 RBIs this season -- Detroits Miguel Cabrera was first -- with his career-high 33rd homer, a line drive to right in the fourth inning. His majestic drive in the sixth was all Texas could muster in their eighth straight loss in the Bronx. With a chance to tie the game in the ninth, Hamilton was struck out by Rafael Soriano. "When youre seeing the ball good, you feel like you can pretty much hit anything," Hamilton said. "But, at that point in the game, you just want to get somebody on base and give yourself a chance to tie the ballgame up." Nick Swisher gave the Yankees the lead with an RBI double off Scott Feldman in a three-run third inning. Swisher put the Yankees ahead in the first two games, too. He hit a grand slam Monday and a two-run shot Tuesday night in a matchup between the teams with the best records in the AL. Garcia (7-5) followed Kurodas two-hitter Tuesday by giving up four hits in 6 2-3 innings of a game delayed by rain at the start for 1 hour, 45 minutes. Garcia has not lost to the Rangers since 2004, going 5-0 with a 1.90 ERA in seven starts. "When you see one guy pitch and the other guy pitch youre thinking you got to go out there and try to do the same," he said. A well-rested bullpen then finished for the Yankees seventh win in eight games. Boone Logan got one out. David Robertson struck out two in a perfect eighth, and after the strikeout of Hamilton, Soriano struck out worked around a throwing error by Eric Chavez for his 29th save.

Alex Rodriguez out with a broken hand, Derek Jeter was the only regular in the infield, and the Rangers tested the groupp in the fourth inning. jerseys from china. After Hamiltons homer, Adrian Beltre singled. Nelson Cruz then hit a grounder to Chavez, who chose to try for the force at second but his throw was late. Fill-in second baseman Jayson Nixs relay to Swisher, the substitute first baseman, was late, putting runners on first and second. David Murphy walked but Garcia got Geovany Soto to hit a grounder to Jeter. Swisher fell while stretching to keep his foot on the base and completed the 6-4-3 double play. Feldman (6-8) pitched out of trouble in the fourth, fifth and six innings, working around three walks and two hits. In six innings, he allowed seven hits and four walks. He struck out seven. "I didnt feel I was throwing the ball bad, even when that (third inning) was going on," Feldman said. "I just tried to keep doing what I was doing, and the defence made some plays behind me. They just got one more than us tonight." Hamilton pulled the Rangers to 3-2 in the sixth, launching a mega-homer way up the bleachers in right. It was his third multihomer game this season. Ian Kinsler was ejected by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza in the eighth inning for arguing balls and strikes. He is 0 for 11 in the series. Curtis Granderson hit a sacrifice fly after Swishers double. Then Chavez had a run-scoring single, the first of three hits. The former As star has been getting the majority of the playing time at third base since A-Rod broke his hand and he has responded. Chavez has a streak of six straight multihit games to raise his average to .303. A six-time Gold Glove winner whose career has been curtailed by injuries, Chavez is happy with his role. "With the injuries that Ive had, my mindset had to change," Chavez said.
