REVEL, France -- A gastronomical, sporting and cultural glance at Stage 10 of the Tour de France on Tuesday:Region: Starting in Escaldes-Engordany in the principality of Andorra, the route crossed back into France at the top of the Port dEnvalira, the highest road in the Pyrenees at 2,408 meters (7,900 feet) and the highest point in this Tour. The stage concluded in Revel in the Haute-Garonne department in southern France.Baguette and butter: Michael Matthews profited from the work of his teammates to win the stage in a sprint finish after a long breakaway. The Australian edged world champion Peter Sagan and Edvald Boasson Hagen to claim his first career stage win at the Tour. Finishing nearly 10 minutes behind in the main peloton, Chris Froomes overall lead remained unchanged.Plat du jour: Carn dAndorra IGP. Before leaving Andorra, its worth trying a traditional entrecote steak made with the local meat, Carn dAndorra IGP, which has a special seal that guarantees its local origin. Tender, almost sugary, and full of flavor, the meat requires hardly any seasoning and can be eaten extremely rare. Skip the tempting fried potatoes and pair it with roasted local vegetables.Culture: Revel is known for its art of furniture making. In 1888, master cabinetmaker Alexandre Monoury left the workshops of Versailles and settled in Revel. Under Monourys influence, a series of furniture workshops were set up in Revel, some of which are still functioning today crafting intricate chairs, tables, and other works from cherry, oak, rosewood and lemon wood.Vin du jour: Blanquette de Limoux, a sparkling white from the town of Limoux near the stage route. The first sparkling wine produced in France, long before Champagne, Blanquette is known throughout the country for its rustic aromas of fresh-cut grass and apple-peel flavors reminiscent of apple cider.History: Dug in the 17th century, the Canal du Midi is part of a 360-kilometer (224-mile) network of waterways linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built to aid the wheat trade, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996. The care that its creator, Pierre-Paul Riquet, took in the design and the way it blends with its surroundings turned a technical achievement into a work of art, UNESCOs website says of the canal.Stat of the Day: 1:01. The gap between 10th-placed Alejandro Valverde and overall leader Chris Froome. Its the smallest margin between the first and 10th-placed riders following the first rest day in the history of the Tour.Quote of the Day: Yesterday with my wife we had a good talk and she really motivated me to keep pushing. I dedicate this victory to my wife and my dog. Stage-winner Matthews, whose Tour history had hitherto been linked to crashes.Dessert: Poumpet (pronounced poom-PET) is a flaky, rectangular pastry from the Tarn region made with lemon zest and topped with powdered sugar.Next order: Stage 11 on Wednesday is a mostly flat 162.5-kilometer (101-mile) leg from Carcassonne to Montpellier near the Mediterranean coast.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Bills coach Rex Ryan challenged the NFL to consider ejecting players for blindside hits to the head such as the one by Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry that leveled Buffalo safety Aaron Williams.Ryan called Landrys hit dirty and deliberate, while saying on-field officials made the right call in flagging the player for unnecessary roughness. Ryan then went further in questioning why the league doesnt adopt college footballs policy and have such hits immediately reviewed by replay officials to determine whether they merit an ejection.Yeah, it was totally unnecessary. Did he target? Did he launch? Yeah, he did all those. You can check every box you want, Ryan said Monday. If we really want to protect our players, then we need to look at things. And maybe in the future we will look at things differently.Ryan spoke a day after Williams was hurt and taken to the hospital during Buffalos 28-25 loss to the Dolphins . Williams was cleared to travel home with the Bills and attended team meetings Monday. His status, however, is uncertain for Sunday, when the Bills (4-3) host New England (6-1).Williams, who has a history of head and neck injuries, was hurt in the second quarter on a running play at Buffalos 11. Williams was tracking running back Jay Ajayi and moving to his right when he was blindsided by Landry, who led with his shoulder and caught Williams in the head and sent him to the turf. Williams squirmed in pain and remained on his back before slowly getting up and being led to the locker room.Following the game, Landry apologized for the block and wished he could take it back, and offered little defense when asked if the hit was dirty.Call it what you want, Landry said. Its football.On Monday, Dolphins coach Adam Gase acknowledged Landry needs to lower his target when blocking, but doesnt consider him to be a dirty player.For anybody to start thinking `dirty play, Ive been around the guy less than a year and I havent seen that from him, Gase said. We have to do a better job of coaching it and need him to do it right so we dont get that kind of situation.Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen didnt think Landry was being, as he put it malicious.You love the effort, Christensen said. Weve just got to lowwer that target a foot.dddddddddddd We dont want to hit anyone in the head.Whats concerning is Williams history of head injuries.The sixth-year players career was in question after he sustained a severe neck injury last season. Williams was hurt while diving headfirst in an attempt to tackle Patriots receiver Julian Edelman in Week 2. He missed two weeks and then pulled himself from a game at Tennessee after experiencing numbness in his arms.Williams was placed on injured reserve and had neck surgery, during which doctors shaved two disks to alleviate nerve damage.In August, Williams also missed a portion of training camp after sustaining a concussion during a collision with receiver Dezmin Lewis.The Bills didnt make Williams available to the media Monday, but his father, Anthony Williams, expressed unhappiness with the hit on his Twitter account.Football play, yes. Dirty play, yes! wrote Anthony Williams, who serves as Texas director of player development/scouting for the All-American Bowl. No player is supposed to `launch themselves at an opposing players head or knee.As for other injuries, Ryan said running back LeSean McCoys status is uncertain after he aggravated an injury to his left hamstring in the third quarter.Receiver Marquise Goodwin is being evaluated for a concussion after he landed hard on the back of his head while attempting to make a catch.On the bright side, Ryan said defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (hamstring) has a chance to return to practice, while receiver Robert Woods (right foot) is also progressing.The focus on injuries overshadowed how poorly Buffalo played against Miami, and snapped a four-game winning streak. The Bills squandered a 17-6 third-quarter lead and allowed 256 yards rushing, including 212 by Ajayi.Im done with this one, Ryan said in attempting to put the performance in the past. Am I sick about it? Yeah, absolutely. Im a better coach than that. And a performance like that hasnt happened to me in a long, long time.---AP Sports Writer Steven Wine in Miami Gardens, Florida, contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Youth NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale NFL Jerseys Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys ' ' '
