Adrian Lewis is the early leader in this years Premier League and Sky Sports Rod Studd is glad to see one of the sports most exciting talents back at the top...Its great to see Adrian Lewis playing so well in the Premier League, with two wins out of two, and being top of the table. He is one of only two players with a 100 per cent record, along with Peter Wright.I think hes actually enjoying it a lot more. Hes come off the back of a World Championship where he did really well, got to the final, and wasnt that far off beating Gary Anderson. If Anderson hadnt taken out that 170 right at the end, it might have been a different story. Adrian Lewis suffered a 7-5 defeat to Gary Anderson in the World Championship Off the back of that, Adrian decided to change his darts to throw with heavier darts, and a lot of people wondered why he was doing that. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating and hes throwing better, there is no doubt of it. That amazing natural talent of almost just lobbing the darts in effortlessly has kind of been amended and adjusted. With the heavier darts, hes throwing with a lot more authority to go with his obvious talent and panache. We relive some classic encounters between Michael van Gerwen and Adrian Lewis Maybe it comes to us all at some point, where you kind of just mature a little bit. Adrian is 31 now, hes happily married, and has got his young family. I think maybe his whole perspective and attitude has changed and hell be the first to admit he has probably grown up a little bit. I think his darts has improved because of it. Adrian Lewis had to settle for a 120 after his third dart got caught between his other treble 20s The rest of the commentators will say this too - his performances in the Premier League have been poor really by his standards, much poorer than his ability would dictate. Weve been critical, saying he has been playing poorly. I remember him getting the hump after a match at the World Matchplay, which he had won. He had a go at us commentators, but we pretty much said, Look, we only criticise you because its frustrating to see you play so poorly when you know youre much better than that. Hes realised that he was not doing himself justice in the Premier League and now is the time to stop wasting that talent and really do something about it. Rod Studd When were talking after matches this year he says, Its a darn sight better than I used to play in the Premier League. He has realised that he was not doing himself justice in this competition and now is the time to stop wasting that talent in the Premier League and really do something about it.Its been terrific to see him play so well and long may it continue.

The former tag team, named The Hardcore Chair Swingin Freaks, was best known for its run in Extreme Championship Wrestling, along with a brief stint in WWE.The diagnoses of Rechner and Knighton come at the same time that WWE faces a lawsuit filed by more than 50 former pro wrestlers who say the company is responsible for repeated head trauma that led to long-term neurological damage.Rechner, who was said to have experienced memory problems before he died of a heart attack in April, is the third professional wrestler who has been publicly identified with CTE and the first since 2009. Knighton was found dead in suburban Baltimore in February after a heroin overdose.Dr. Julia K. Kofler, a neuropathologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian, conducted the autopsies on Parsons, Rechner and Knighton. The university is affiliated with Omalus charitable foundation, which he created in 2015 before the release of the movie Concussion, a dramatization of the NFLs resistance to his CTE research.As a scientist, a physical, and a person of faith, I bet everybody involved with these sports to come together and identify the problems and find solutions, said Omalu, who told The Globe he reviewed Koflers studies and endorsed her findings.
