Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he offered some encouragement to Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson after Cleveland dropped its 12th game of the season.Jackson, the Bengals former offensive coordinator, was emotional after Cleveland lost to the New York Giants 27-13.Being 0-12 is probably ... the hardest thing ever, Jackson said Sunday.Jackson and Lewis are very close and have maintained regular contact in the form of texts or phone calls since Jackson left Cincinnati to take the Browns job, except during weeks they play each other. Lewis made sure to give Jackson a call after hearing about the press conference.I was told about it and just reached out and encouraged him, Lewis said.The two likely wont be talking much next week when the Bengals travel to Cleveland to face the Browns for the second time. Cincinnatis last win this season came against the Browns in October.I know theyve got the week off this week, so well get a ball of knives next week, Lewis said. Lucky us. Thats the way it goes.His best advice to a coach struggling like Jackson: It will get better.I think obviously, some days you question whether youre going to get through the next day because things seem to mount and pile on you, Lewis said. I think a lot of times when people ask about what to expect, expect that the next day is going to be a little better. Thats all I can tell you. And then the next year after that, and the next year after that, some of those things that seem so insurmountable that first season, you realize youre going to get through, things are going to work out and youre going to find a way and its going to work well for you. I think thats important in a tough season we all go through.Lewis is going through struggles of his own this year with the Bengals potentially heading toward one of their worst records in his 14-season tenure (he went 4-11-1 in 2008 and 4-12 in 2010).I think coaches work harder, turn over more stones, they become better coaches, better people when ... youre a touch off, he said.When youre winning, youre doing the same thing, youre just not questioned by the masses here. It doesnt change your outlook on things. I think the players have a hard time wondering why youre climbing up their butt when youre winning. Now they wont have to question that right now. Thats part of it. Its what we are in professional sports. Julian Love Youth Jersey .

Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Western Bulldogs ruckman Jordan Roughead is winning his battle to play in the AFL grand final, but defender Matt Sucklings inclusion appears less certain.The club remains optimistic both will be available to tackle Sydney but Suckling, who missed the preliminary final with an Achilles tendon injury, was less than convincing in a training session at Whitten Oval on Tuesday.Suckling took part in a light 45-minute workout with a 30-strong squad then stayed behind for a further 15 minutes as he was put through his paces by fitness staff and assistant coach Rohan Smith.It was during that extra session that he appeared to move gingerly at times and reached for the area on his lower left leg that has troubled him late in the season.The issue has seen him miss four of the last eight games of the Bulldogs premiership campaign.In his first year with the Dogs since switching from the Hawks, Suckling is in line to play in his fourth grand final.Suckers has been fantastic for our group since he walked in the door, assistant coach Steven King told reporters before the session.The boys really rate him, hes a great character, so well give him every chaance to get back.ddddddddddddHes in our best 22 when hes fit and available, so hopefully he can prove his fitness.Rougheads vision has fully returned following the nasty blow he suffered in the preliminary final win over Greater Western Sydney.Both players must pass fitness tests at the clubs main training session on Thursday in order to play against the Swans.(Roughead) is going well, King said of his recovery from an eye bleed.He was in today and went through the review process with the group and hes feeling a lot better.Hes optimistic and the specialist is optimistic as well that hell recover (in time). Weve just got to make sure that he can train and the process from there is that it doesnt bleed again (but) hes really positive about it.King said Lin Jong had pulled up well from his first game back from a fractured collarbone - a best afield performance in the VFL grand final - and will come into grand final consideration.Tom Liberatore and Easton Wood worked out away from the main group inside the club.
