said Gilbert, an ESPN analyst. If theyre crazy enough to try it, the opportunity is there.The fact that he could get that close to her, man. My guess is the debriefing room is not a pleasant place today.Hes right.

CLEVELAND -- Theres a light in the Cleveland Browns locker room at FirstEnergy Stadium that splashes the phrase Expect to Win on the carpet for all the players and staff to see.The sign doesnt mention anything about when the winning is supposed to start.Not that it matters. At this point, its anybodys guess, including the luckless Browns.Another halftime lead morphed into another befuddling loss, this time a 31-28 setback against the New York Jets that sent Cleveland spiraling to 0-8 at the seasons midway point. The Browns have dropped 11 straight overall and are 3-26 over their last 29 games.Next week, the Dallas Cowboys come to town. Then, its a trip to Baltimore, followed by games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. The weight of the `0 is sure to only grow heavier as time goes by.Its a no-brainer. Nobody wants to be 0-8, but thats where were at, cornerback Jamar Taylor said. This game is real simple sometimes when you dont get it done. Weve still got eight games left -- a long time -- but youve got to fix the things you do bad.Its not that Cleveland isnt competitive. The Browns dominated the first half against the Jets (3-5), moving up and down the field with remarkable ease at times during quarterback Josh McCowns return from a fractured collarbone. Yet, when the Jets responded after halftime, the Browns didnt have an answer. Again.This is rough, but that is part of it, coach Hue Jackson said. We have to get better.Cleveland had a chance to put the Jets in a 17-point hole late in the first half, driving to the New York 10 with 47 seconds to play. An incompletion, a sack and a scramble by McCown forced the Browns to settle for a field goal instead. New York then took the opening kick of the second half and went 78 yards in 12 plays before Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Quincy Enunwa for a 24-yard touchdown in which he bounced off four Cleveland players on his way to the end zone. By the time Matt Forte scored the first of his two touchdowns later in the third, the Browns had seen their early momentum evaporate completely.Its hardly the first time. The Browns have been outscored 61-13 in the third quarter this season.When we do really good in the first half, weve got to figure out how to kickstart that thing in the second half, cornerback Joe Haden said.It simply didnt happen. The Browns managed all of 133 yards after the break, most of them coming on a garbage-time drive in which the Browns lazily made their way toward the end zone even though they were trailing by 11. When McCown hit Andrew Hawkins for a second touchdown and followed it up with a 2-point conversion to Terrelle Pryor Sr., only 12 seconds remained.McCown completed 25 of 49 for 341 yards and two scores, but also threw interceptions on consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter that all but ended any chance of the Browns leaving FirstEnergy Stadium with their first victory in 322 days. The veteran fell to 18-41 in his career as a starter in his return from a fractured collarbone suffered in a Week 2 loss to Baltimore, a game Cleveland led by 20 at one point. Nearly two months later, nothing has really changed.One half, we played the way we always talk about playing, the way coach talks about playing, McCown said. That is how we played in the first half. In the second half, we didnt. I say we, but I didnt. I take this one squarely on me.Its hardly McCowns failure to own. On a day the franchise celebrated the 30th anniversary of the 1986 team that reached the AFC championship game and the hometown Cleveland Indians were a game away from clinching an unlikely World Series, the glory days for the Browns seem farther away than ever.Nobody wants to talk about 0-16.

NEW YORK -- Kateryna Bondarenko, who had just won her second-round singles match, was collecting her things at the changeover chair Wednesday night when a man named Sam Hu jumped off the three-foot ledge that separates Court 13 from the stands.Hu landed awkwardly but turned deftly toward the seats and slipped his left arm around her back. Bondarenko, almost reflexively, responded in kind with her right arm, awaiting the imminent photo opportunity.As a friend in the stands snapped the shot, Hu, hip to hip with Bondarenko, gleefully gave a thumbs up and said, Beautiful, beautiful.Two security guards, who arrived at the scene six seconds after he arrived, actually waited several more seconds as the photographer wrapped up. Bondarenko smiled as Hu, 47, was hustled away, amid applause and laughter.If Hu had intended to harm her, certainly he was in a position to do so.Six seconds, said Bethanie Mattek-Sands, a heavily decorated American doubles player, can be a long, long time. Anything could happen, even that fast.And thats the difficult piece of this incident. The two assigned security guards reacted swiftly, but not fast enough, to prevent a potential assault.Earlier this summer, an extraordinary video surfaced that showed a fan jumping down into the players tunnel after a friendly between Lionel Messis Barcelona and the home-team Celtic in Dublin. The fan lands on his feet and, just as he attempts to embrace Messi, a security guard decks him with a chest-high flying tackle. Mike Rodriguez, the USTAs director of security, said that tennis, like basketball, is a tough assignment.Its difficult to guard a court, Rodriguez said Thursday. We are dealing with human beings, so training and focus are always a factor.We got the word out last night. There is a reaction if you try to take that action.New York police made the arrest, charged Hu with interference of a sporting event, recently upgraded to a misdemeanor, and took him to the station house of the 110th precinct.On Thursday, Hu was released and active on Chinese social media Thursday. He owns a?tennis academy near Shanghai, China, but lives in Long Island.Learn from this lesson, he wrote on Weichat. Man [need] to control himself, control, control.As part of the US Open protocol, Hu has been banned from the event for 10 years.Bondarenko, whose doubles match was canceled Thursday because of rain, was not available for comment.The incident recalled last years French Open, when a spectator seeking a selfie with Roger Federer ran onto the court and made contact before security intervened. Afterward, security was visibly heightened. It was another ultimately benign example of star worship, but the opportunity for foul play was there.I feel safe, insisted No. 5 seed Simona Halep after her second-round victory. Nothing happened to me until now. No one wants to hurt you, even if someone is coming to take a picture with you.But in 1993, when Bondarenko was a 6-year-old playing tennis in the Ukraine, Monica Seles was stabbed in the back while sitting on her changeover chair in Hamburg. Gunter Parche, a crazed supporter of Steffi Graf, drove a nine-inch boning knife between Seles shoulder blades. Seles, who had wonn eight Grand Slam singles titles before her 20th birthday, did not play another match for more than two years.dddddddddddd Upon her return, Seles was never the same.That was 23 years ago. Today, terrorism and security occupy a far more significant place in our consciousness.This is more than just a tennis tournament were talking about; its the world, said Patrick McEnroe, the former USTA general manager of player development. You do everything right, and theres still that opportunity. At some point, you have to just trust in the world.McEnroe, citing the increased presence of x-ray machines at the gates and more aggressive bag checks, reminisced about the old days, when security was more of an afterthought.No. 2 seed Andy Murray said safety concerns surface more when hes off the court.When I am out in the streets and stuff, I think more about that, he said. Not just because of the things that have happened in the world, like in the big cities over the last 15, 20 years.When Im at a tennis tournament, I dont know; I just feel comfortable when Im on the court.Murray related the anecdote of a kid who leaped onto the court after a match at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.I had signed his hat, and then gone away with his pen, Murray said. He jumped onto the court and asked for the pen back.According to Rodriguez, the USTA, NYPD and security force regularly engage in tactical exercises.Look, there are plenty of examples in the tennis world, never mind the sporting world, he said. People come on the court to get a selfie, kiss someone, hug them. In our training, we remind people that what youre seeing might not be what you think it is. You need to [be] prepared when its not that.You cant just think its not a big deal. Everything is important.Brad Gilbert, coach of Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Andy Murray, shook his head when Bondarenkos incident was described to him.If someone wanted to do something, thats pretty hard to defend, said Gilbert, an ESPN analyst. If theyre crazy enough to try it, the opportunity is there.The fact that he could get that close to her, man. My guess is the debriefing room is not a pleasant place today.Hes right. Video of the episode was posted on Instagram, and Rodriguez said it generated hundreds of thousands of views. He forwarded it to the private security company responsible.This is what we do on the counter-terrorism side, explained Rodriguez, who comes from that background. I said, You need to use this as a training aid, a positive reinforcement. But we need to pay a little more attention to people understanding what they need to do.All told, Rodriguez said, there are close to 300 security guards and an equal number of New York City police on site every day. Seven or eight people are deployed for the show courts, where the players and attention they generate are greater, and a minimum of two, plus one for relief, on the field courts. In addition, two people from player operations escort players to and from the courts.It stops and makes you think, Mattek-Sands said. But its the world we live in. ' ' '
