ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Peyton Manning has been docked a reported $8,268 for taunting Houston Texans safety D.J. Swearinger in a preseason game last week. The Denver Broncos quarterback laid into the safety for hitting Wes Welker in the head, which left the slot receiver with his third concussion in 10 months. The penalty was reported by ESPN. Manning told ESPNs Chris Mortensen: "I accept it. Money well spent." Swearingers hit on Welker drew a 15-yard personal foul — but so far no word of a fine. Manning was irked by the hit on Welker and after throwing a 29-yard TD pass to Emmanuel Sanders on the next snap, he ran up to Swearinger and let him know it. That resulted in the first personal foul of Mannings NFL career along with kudos from his teammates. Manning explained afterward that he acted out of concern for Welkers well-being. Besides, he said, whats 15 yards with 5 seconds left in the half? "I think if youre going to get one, thats a good time to get one," Manning said after the game. Swearinger said Manning swore at him but wouldnt go into details: "He didnt invite me to dinner," Swearinger said. He insisted, however, that his hit on Welker wasnt dirty, explaining the receiver slid at the last moment. "I led with my shoulder. Thats the only thing I could do. Hes a short guy," Swearinger said. Swearinger had been at the centre of several skirmishes during three days of joint practices with the Broncos one week after angering the Atlanta Falcons with his combative style during a joint workout in Georgia. Welker is going through the NFLs concussion protocol. He flew with the Broncos to Dallas to watch the final preseason game Thursday night along with most of the other starters.

Raiders Jerseys Its been an eventful 12 months for Jake Arrieta. Hes gone from traded pitcher to No. 3 starter to staff ace for the Chicago Cubs, and will make his final start prior to the 2014 trade deadline on Thursday afternoon, when the Cubs host the Colorado Rockies in the finale of a four-game series on Thursday afternoon. Arrieta was dealt to Chicago in exchange for Scott Feldman last July, then climbed the staff ranks when previous teammates Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel were sent to Oakland earlier this month. Hes solidified his status as the teams No. 1 man in the wake of that transaction and enters Thursday having allowed three earned runs or less in 14 of his 15 starts this season. Hes under contract for $500,000 this season and is signed through 2017, which boosts the likelihood hell remain with Chicago past this years deadline. He allowed two runs in six innings of his last start against St. Louis on Saturday and has turned in nine straight outings of at least six innings with no more than three earned runs -- a stretch in which hes gone 4-1 with a 1.77 earned run average. "That performance (against St. Louis) is indicative of how much hes grown," Cubs manager Renteria said. "If that had been a couple years ago, and he was struggling, he wouldnt be able to grind through and pitch six innings without his best command or stuff." Arrieta has never faced the Rockies. Colorado won in 10 innings on Wednesday night, following Tuesdays 16-inning marathon that was the longest game -- 6 hours, 37 minutes -- in either franchises history. "We got some timely hits (Wednesday)," Rocckies manager Walt Weiss said.dddddddddddd "We got a few early, and then of course Barnesy had the big one late." Another after-effect of the long game is Thursdays starter for the Rockies, Pedro Hernandez. Tyler Matzek had been scheduled to make the start, but he pitched in relief in Tuesdays game, necessitating Hernandezs call-up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, where hed gone 6-6 with a 6.14 ERA in 18 appearances -- 16 starts, two relief outings. He was released after spending 2013 with Minnesota and signed a minor-league deal with Colorado. He has never faced the Cubs. On Wednesday, Brandon Barnes singled in the go-ahead run in the 10th to boost the Rockies over the Cubs, 6-4. Wesley Wright (0-2) walked Nolan Arenado and Drew Stubbs before giving up a one-out single to Michael McKenry. Barnes stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a single to left. Stubbs then scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-4. Adam Ottavino worked around a two-out single in the bottom half of the 10th to pick up his first save in the big leagues. Brett Anderson got the start for Colorado and struck out nine while giving up two runs on 11 hits over seven innings. Rob Scahill (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth for his second major league win. He was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs before the game. Chicago starter Travis Wood set a career high with 11 strikeouts, but remains winless in eight starts dating to a 3-0 win at Philadelphia on June 15. He gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings. Colorado and Chicago split six meetings last season.
