WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says opponent Hillary Clinton and other Democrats are trying to rig the fall debates by scheduling two of the events opposite NFL games. The football league has complained to him about the debate schedule in a letter, the billionaire says.The NFL and the Commission on Presidential Debates on Saturday rejected both of Trumps assertions.A spokesman for the NFL said the football league didnt send such a letter to Trump. The independent, nonpartisan commission said that no political party or campaign was consulted when the dates were selected last year.Late Friday night, Trump posted a tweet: As usual, Hillary & the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games. Same as last time w/ Bernie. Unacceptable!In an interview with ABCs This Week for its program Sunday, Trump was asked if he would accept the commissions debate schedule. He replied: Well, Ill tell you what I dont like. Its against two NFL games. I got a letter from the NFL saying, `This is ridiculous. Why are the debates against -- `cause the NFL doesnt wanna go against the debates. `Cause the debates are gonna be pretty massive, from what I understand, OK?Asked about Trumps assertion, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted on Saturday: While wed obviously wish the Debate Commission could find another night, we did not send a letter to Mr Trump.Following the NFLs denial that a letter had been sent to Trump, a Trump aide said the Republican candidate was made aware of the conflicting dates by a source close to the league. The aide was not authorized to speak by name and requested anonymity.Two of the three debates scheduled in September and October will be televised during NFL games. On Sept. 26, the night of the first debate, ESPN will carry the Monday night game featuring the Falcons vs. the Saints. On Oct. 9, the second debate will air opposite the Sunday night game featuring the Giants vs. the Packers on NBC.I dont know how the dates were picked. I dont know why those particular dates, Trump told ABC.The Democratic Party was criticized during the primary race for scheduling debates between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday nights and holiday weekends, times when viewership is low. The Sanders campaign suggested that was an effort to limit the size of the audience.Trump told ABC: You know, Hillary Clinton wants to be against the NFL. She doesnt -- maybe like she did with Bernie Sanders, where they were on Saturday nights when nobodys home.The presidential debate commission serves as the event sponsor and sets the participation criteria, dates, sites and formats. The sites and dates for the 2016 debates were announced in September 2015.The CPD did not consult with any political parties or campaigns in making these decisions, the commission said in a statement issued Saturday.The Clinton campaign did not immediately comment on Trumps assertions.In the ABC interview, Trump did allow that three debates were fine and that hed rather have three than one.---AP Pro Football Writer Barry Wilner in Springfield, New Jersey, and AP writers Jonathan Lemire in New York and Lisa Lerer in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, contributed to this report.---This story has been corrected to show that Trumps tweet was posted Friday night, not Saturday.

Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are riding their longest winning streak in six years, and there is no reason to think it is going to end soon.Rookie coach Ben McAdoos team has won five in a row and it is heading to Cleveland this weekend for a game against the winless Browns, who will be without starting quarterback Cody Kessler because of a concussion.And yet, the Giants (7-3) are not even close to peaking.The offense has been inconsistent. While the running game has posted consecutive 100-yard games in wins over the Bengals and Bears, it remains one of the NFLs worst.Eli Manning and the passing game have shown flashes, but overall have been inconsistent. The combination of Manning to Odell Beckham Jr. is the big-play threat. The rest of the offense features a grind-it-out style that cant afford any mistakes.The defense, ranked last a year ago, is one reason the Giants have one more win than they managed in either of the last two seasons. It has closed out games week after week during the current run, something it failed to do a year ago in losing six games either in the fourth quarter or overtime.We havent accomplished anything yet, McAdoo said Monday in reviewing Sundays 22-16 win over Chicago. The highs are high and the lows are low and youre going have to put out three dumpster fires a day. Other than that, you need to focus on your preparation and get ready for the next opponent.With six games left in the regular season, the Giants have the best record among the non-division leaders. However, the wild-card race is tight and a couple of losses can quickly drop a team out a playoff spot, which is a possibility for a club that has won seven games by a total of 27 points.Seven wins doesnt get you very far, McAdoo said. We need to keep stacking success.There is a good feeling in the locker room after sweeping a three-game homestand. Players are confident, yet they are saying the right things. They are in the coach-speak mode with the obligatory on any given week in the NFL ...McAdoo has also done his best to keep the players on edge.Winning is fun, but we cant get too comfortablle, said defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, whose 2+-sack performance Sunday was his best since injuring his right hand in a fireworks accident last year.dddddddddddd Coach McAdoo said get uncomfortable being comfortable.In preparation for last week game, McAdoo had each player stand up, look at the person next to him and switch seats.That right there made guys realize, you know, this is not my regular seat, Pierre-Paul said. Im not trying to sit here. That made guys realize you have to be uncomfortable to get things done.The Giants have gotten things done. They rallied from a 16-6 deficit on Sunday behind two touchdown passes by Manning and a stout effort by the defense in the second half.Having three home games is rare, and obviously if you can win all three of them, thats big, Manning said. We did what we had to do and took care of it. Now weve got two road games and we have to continue to handle business.Im just proud of the way the guys are finding ways to win. Every game has been a little different; theyve all been close, theyve all come down to the last series. Offense, defense, everybodys stepping up and doing their part to get wins.Game notes McAdoo said Gs Brett Jones (calf) and Marshall Newhouse (knee) would be evaluated later in the week. They were injured in the last two weeks filling in for Justin Pugh (knee) at left guard. Pugh is starting to move around after missing the last two games. ... WR Roger Lewis Jr. is in the concussion protocol after being hurt Sunday. ... McAdoo said TE Larry Donnell was inactive because he wanted an extra offensive lineman on Sunday. ... The rookie coach doesnt like rating his players. He was asked about S Landon Collins, who has five interceptions in the last four games. I dont get a chance to watch everybody in the league, so I dont have an opinion on whether hes playing at an All-Pro level. But I know hes playing at a high level for us.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and -http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
