METAIRIE, La. -- Saints fullback John Kuhn plans to stay in New Orleans during his teams Week 5 bye and try to get his first real taste of life in the Big Easy.That option became a lot more attractive after he scored three touchdowns in the Saints first victory of the season in San Diego.I wont feel like I have to have a hood up at all times, said Kuhn, who joined the Saints in August and knows what its like to mingle with a passionate fan base from his nine seasons with Green Bay.The Saints might be 0-4 now if not for a trio of Chargers turnovers inside the final seven minutes of New Orleans 35-34 victory on Sunday . Then again, they were not far off from being 3-1, either.New Orleans led Oakland in Week 1 until the Raiders scored a touchdown with 47 seconds left, and then added a bold, do-or-die 2-point conversion for a 35-34 victory.The Saints still had a 61-yard field-goal attempt for the win as time expired, but Wil Lutzs kick narrowly swerved wide left.In Week 2, the Saints lost to the Giants on a field goal in the final seconds. Only one of New Orleans losses didnt go down to the wire -- a 45-32 setback against Atlanta in Week 3.So the Saints head into their week off with at least a measure of hope theyll start winning more during the last three quarters of their schedule.We had a couple of close games at the beginning of the season that could have swung the other way, defensive end Cameron Jordan said. When you come out with those wins, it helps build confidence for the young guys and helps mold the team.The bye also comes at what appears to be a preferable time for the Saints, who have been riddled with an unusual number of early season injuries to key players.It is unclear whether starting left tackle Terron Armstead (knee), starting middle linebacker James Laurinaitis (quad), projected starting linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (quad), tight end Josh Hill (ankle) and left guard Senio Kelemete (hamstring) will return from injuries by the time New Orleans next takes the field at Carolina on Oct. 16. Ellerbe, however, appeared close to returning this past week, and another week off certainly helps the other hobbled players.Meanwhile, players including safety Kenny Vaccaro (ankle) and receiver Willie Snead (toe) just returned from recent injuries on Sunday. They could use more time to heal.And in just a few more weeks, starting cornerback Delvin Breaux and first-round draft choice Sheldon Rankins, a projected starter at defensive tackle, could be back. Both of them have fractured fibulas.Weve got a lot of guys that we need to get back healthy, which will make us a lot better team, said Vaccaro, adding that hell be staying in New Orleans this week. Ive got to get treatment on my ankle; it was really sore (Sunday), so Ill have to get treatment throughout the week.On Sunday, the Chargers, who led by 13 before their offensive meltdown, lambasted themselves for giving the game away.For the Saints, it begged the question: Was their first victory cause for validation, or nothing more than a brief reprieve?Many Saints players saw it as the latter, because they played hard until the end and capitalized on San Diego mistakes in the clutch.Even before the Chargers turnovers, the Saints defense bowed up in its territory to force a field goal and keep the game a two-possession affair.Then came the fumbles, one of which was caused by a heavy hit from safety Vonn Bell, while the other just seemed to slip from the grasp of Chargers receiver Travis Benjamin.A lot of times with turnovers, its just capitalizing on the offenses mistakes, Vaccaro said. If guys arent running to the ball, we wouldnt have recovered the fumbles.Even after the Saints took the lead, the defense, which came in ranked 31st in the NFL, had to stop star quarterback Philip Rivers from driving into field goal range. The Chargers went backward and B.W. Webbs interception of a fourth-down pass sealed it.We needed that win and I dont care what form or fashion it came in, Vaccaro said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Flyknit 3 Pas Cher .

PARIS -- The French tennis federation has provisionally suspended Kristina Mladenovic, Caroline Garcia and Benoit Paire for damaging its image at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Paire, who was seeded 16th at the Rio Games, was sent home after being kicked off Frances team.The 27-year-old Paire, ranked 34 in the world, broke team rules, the FFT said in its statement Sunday. He reportedly sometimes stayed away from the village, or came back late. He also made dismissive comments about the importance of the Games because there are no ranking points.Mladenovic and Garcia sharply criticized the FFT following their defeat in the first round of the doubles over a clothing mix-up, saying that they were not informed by their federation that, as doubles partners, they had to wear the same colors.The pair was told just before going on court that they could lose by default if they did not change their clothing, and Mlaadenovic had to lend Garcia some spare gear.ddddddddddddMladenovic was particularly angry, posting five tweets in which she lambasted what she called the incompetence of the FFT, blaming it for ruining their match.The FFT said all three showed an unacceptable attitude, adding that they are provisionally suspended from selection until a final decision is made on Sept. 24.Mladenovic and Garcia are key players in Frances Fed Cup team that will contest the final against the Czech Republic in November.France plays away to Croatia in the Davis Cup semifinals from Sept. 16-18, meaning that Paire is ineligible to play.However, he has yet to represent France and was not expected to be selected.The FFT added that the three will receive no help from the FFT during the suspension period.
