ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Von Miller wont complain to the officials when hes getting grabbed, mugged or slugged on just about every snap these days. He wont lobby for statistics, either.So, the Broncos star pass rusher shrugged it off when the NFL failed to credit him with a sack last weekend that sealed Denvers 20-10 win at Jacksonville.I had already put it to bed on Monday. I wasnt going to beat myself up about it, Miller said. We won the game. When you turn on the film, youll be able to see what exactly happened.The NFL did just that and the league belatedly credited Miller with a strip-sack this week, which boosted his league-leading sack total to 13 1/2.Miller forced two turnovers in the game despite constant attention from the Jaguars.Ive never seen a guy double-teamed as much as he was last game, Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Thursday. It was phenomenal. I was talking to their coaches after the game and they said that they werent going to let him be the difference -- he WAS the difference. That tells you how good he is.They double-teamed him every pass play, at least two guys and sometimes three. Hes an amazing player.Miller shoved tackle Jeremy Parnell into quarterback Blake Bortles, forcing the ball free . Linebacker Shane Ray recovered the fumble at the Jaguars 29 with 1:27 remaining.Miller also shoved tackle Kelvin Beachum into Bortles on Bradley Robys pick-6 in the third quarter.Miller has followed up his Super Bowl MVP performance and record-breaking contract with another stellar season that has him as a favorite to win the leagues Defensive Player of the Year award.What separates him from the likes of Khalil Mack of the Raiders is that Miller faces constant waves of blockers, a sign of respect for his talents.I want to make plays. Im not looking for respect, Miller cracked. Im trying to make plays. Its frustrating, but I never get caught up into it. I just try to get the opportunities that I do get. I need to make it happen. I beat myself up about this because when I first came into the league nobody was really chipping me like that and my second year nobody was chipping me. I should have been taking advantage of those opportunities.Superstars get this kind of treatment.I really dont pay any mind to it, Miller said. LeBron James, they triple-team him and Steph Curry and Klay Matthews. Im not looking for respect. Im trying to make plays. It is what it is. Im trying to ruin the game and they dont want me to do it.The Broncos lead the league with three dozen sacks but their opponent Sunday, the Tennessee Titans (6-6) have allowed just half that total.Miller said his role doesnt change against a team such as the Titans who are committed to establishing a ground game behind their excellent backfield of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry and mobile QB Marcus Mariota.Youve got to understand what my role is, Miller said. Its not just rushing the passer. Its not just the run game. Its not just dropping in coverage and covering tight ends. My job is to make plays -- make big plays -- for my team. However I can make them: strip the ball, sacks, tackle for loss, PBUs (pass breakups), however I can get them, that is my responsibility.Every year at the beginning of the year, Coach, he has everybody stand up: `Whats your name? Whats your position? And every year I stand up: `Im Von Miller and I play defense.

Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. International cricket is headed for a major financial shift as Australia, England and South Africa lead a push to sell overseas television rights in a collective bundle overseen by a new, independent administrative body.While the BCCI has expressed reservations about the concept, ESPNcricinfo understands that Cricket Australia, the ECB and CSA are adamant that a more collaborative approach to selling bilateral rights is the only way to minimise potential damage to revenue levels due to a shrinking of the Indian television market.Their push for a new way to sell bilateral rights was a key part of discussions at a workshop convened by the ICC in Dubai this week. These meetings effectively signalled the death knell for the concept of two-tier Test cricket, but prospects are brighter for a Test Championship playoff, and formalised league structures for ODIs and international Twenty20 matches.The recent acquisition of Ten Sports by Sony has cut the number of major Indian television rights bidders by a third, and both CA and the ECB are aware their current rich deals with Star Sports - worth up to US$8 million per international match - are unlikely to be matched next time around.Overseas rights contracts for both nations are soon to expire, adding urgency to the boards desire for another approach that will mean less competition between nations and a better overall return.All countries are worried about the downturn in the Indian market and they feel a linked-together approach will be better, a source told ESPNcricinfo. Otherwise theyre out there on their own, two Indian broadcasters and 10 countries all with rights deals to sell - broadcasters can pick and choose.If youve got one rights package to sell with content they want included somewhere in it then youre in a much better position.So eager are Australian, English and South African administrators to try the collective approach that they are unlikely to wait for consensus before pulling the trigger. The pooled bid could feature as few as three nations or as many as 10, depending on who responds positively between now and the next round of official ICC meetings in October.Given that the deal would be for bilateral series only, there is no requirement for the pooled option to pass a vote oof the ICC executive board.ddddddddddddInstead CA, the ECB and CSA will need to convince other nations that the new deal is in their best financial interests, and also to formulate an independent body to oversee proceedings in a manner that would remove any doubts about the rich seeking a bilateral cash-grab at the expense of the rest.The decision to pool rights could be made by three, five, 10 countries, however many agree, the source said. It isnt all in or none in - it will take place regardless of how many sign up.While the ICC has a department tasked with selling commercial rights to global tournaments, it has no authority to sell bilateral series. Independence in decision-making in that group and also independence in terms of how the money is divided up is going to be really important, the source said. If big countries are seen to be muscling little countries then the concept weakens.But its got [to have] independent management and potentially governance that will position it as a genuine media player, rather than countries pursuing their own individual interests.The BCCIs hesitance to get involved in the pooled deal thus far is driven in part by the differing television rights priorities for each nation. Indian cricket has generated massive revenue from the IPL, dwarfing the still-strong returns derived from international series and ICC events.By contrast, all other boards including Australia, England and South Africa rely far more heavily on the television rights from bilateral series sold into the Indian market and ICC tournaments. While T20 began in England and has found a successful outlet in Australias BBL, neither competition is anywhere near as lucrative as the IPL - likewise the tournaments run by other nations.In the end the boards are competing against themselves and pulling in three directions, the source said. Theyre the beneficiaries of ICC events, theyre the rights holders for bilateral cricket and they own domestic T20 competitions. It does come back to where they want to prioritise their energies and what balance of those three things they see their business running on in the future. ' ' '
