ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Peyton Manning called it Von Millers world celebrity tour, a five-month jet-setting junket of television and dance studios, A-list parties and B-roll appearances.Although the Broncos are being cautious with the Super Bowl MVP who skipped the offseason program in a contract clash, Miller clearly found time to keep in shape in between all those hours in the skies and on the air.He was so good in his first 9-on-7 action of training camp over the weekend -- blowing up three of four running plays -- that the coaches pulled him off the field so they could get some work done on offense.He looked like he wore a couple people out, I know that, coach Gary Kubiak said afterward. We put a tackle at tight end to try to make it an even match, but it still didnt work out. He looks good. He ought to be up to about full speed here in about three more days.Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips issued this update Monday:Hes ready to go.Miller said that despite his hanging out with talk show hosts and dancing with the stars, he never really got away from football, in the offseason, keeping up with his rigorous training regimen.As any football coach will tell you, being in physical shape and football shape are two different things. They wonder if guys did proper warm-ups and cool-downs, stretches and plyometrics or just lots of weightlifting and wind sprints when they were working out on their own.Miller clearly did all that.After showing cornerback Chris Harris Jr. some of his new dance moves Monday, Miller was jogging off the field with a strength and conditioning coach when he stepped in from of kicker Brandon McManus and attempted a 45-yard field goal on the side field.He hit it hard, but on a straight line and nowhere near the goal posts.Its about the only thing Miller has flubbed since his extraordinary playoff run that he capped with two sack-strips of Cam Newton in Denvers 24-10 win over Carolina in the Super Bowl.Those same teams kick off the new season Sept. 8, and Millers already excited.I mean, thats what everybody wants to see, right? he said, smiling. Its going to be a great matchup.With Mannings retirement, Miller is now the face of Denvers franchise, something that was only solidified when he signed his six-year, $114.5 million deal with $70 million guaranteed, making him the leagues highest-paid nonquarterback.The expectations, like his bank account, have only risen, something that needs no pointing out to Miller.He already knows that, Phillips said. Thats why he is the highest-paid guy because he plays like that. So, we expect him to maintain that. But his attitude is great.So is his conditioning, his form and even his play in his cameos so far.Miller said he has a different mind-set his year: For one, Im going to be here. I dont have to worry about that and its just football.Miller showed last year what he could do with a clear mind and slate.During training camp last season, the NFL gave Miller a way out of its drug program after he stayed clean for two years. Without the threat of a yearlong suspension looming over him should he slip up and even miss a drug test, Denvers loquacious linebacker was free to be himself again, haunting linemen, hammering quarterbacks and loosening the locker room with his cutup personality and childlike cheer.Unlike most of his fellow draftees in the talent-laden 2011 NFL draft, however, Miller didnt get an extension. Instead, the Broncos exercised their fifth-year option in a prove-it challenge to him.This year, his contract situation isnt hanging over him, so hes expecting even bigger things.Thats when you can be at your best, when its all football, when youre just thinking about your teammates and the play and your assignment, Miller said. And thats where it is for me right now, its just football, trying to be the best player I can be for my teammates, trying to be the best leader that I can be for this organization.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Lebron Soldier 10 Mens .

Sunday, October 2Melbourne Storm ($1.77) vs Cronulla Sharks ($2.10), ANZ Stadium at 7:15pmTeam news:The Storm look set to go into the NRL Grand Final with a clear bill of health after coming through their preliminary final win over the Raiders unscathed.The match will also represent the final game in Melbourne colours for a number of players who have signed elsewhere including Blake Green (Manly), Marika Koroibete (Melbourne Rebels rugby) and possibly Ben Hampton (linked with North Queensland) and Kevin Proctor (linked with Gold Coast).Cronulla are also relatively injury-free and could be boosted further by the possible return of hard-running forward Sam Tagataese from a shoulder injury.The NRL Integrity Unit are investigating Andrew Fifitas comments about having no remorse for his public support of convicted killer Kieran Loveridge but it has placed unnecessary attention on the Sharks ahead of the biggest game in the clubs 50 year history.Key head-to-head: Cooper Cronk vs Chad TownsendThis clash throws up several key confrontations including Cameron Smith vs Michael Ennis, Cameron Munster vs Ben Barba and Jesse Bromwich vs Andrew Fifita but I believe the two No7s hold the key.Townsend demonstrated great mental strength to bounce back from being hooked during the Sharks Week 1 finals win against the Raiders to outplay the NRLs best player Johnathan Thurston against the Cowboys last Friday.Cronk will pose another challenge; many might say he will be a bigger challenge based on this years form. The Storm halfback has a reputation for being one of the most professional athletes in rugby league and its a safe bet to assume his preparation will be timed perfectly and he looms as the biggest danger to the Sharks.Cronks impact can never be eliminated completely but if the Sharks, in particular Townsend, can limit his input then they will go a long way to finally adding the biggest prize of all to their barren trophy cabinet.TeamsSharks: 1.

A?5 percent chance of rain, light 15 to 20 km/h northerly winds with an expected temperature of 22 degrees at kick-off.Prediction:?Melbourne won the minor premiership by beating Cronulla and I expect them to produce a repeat performance to claim the NRLs major prize and their third premiership.The Storm have too many winners in their side that know how to win the big-games -- Cooper Cronk and Cameron Smith are proven performers under pressure. Melbourne arguably has the best pack in the NRL, the best prop in the game in Jesse Browwich and in my opinion the most dangerous back three in Cameron Munster, Markia Koroibete and?Suliasi Vunivalu so I just think they will have too much class.Cronulla have surprised everybody this season -- probably even themselves and their most loyal fans. Any team that goes unbeaten for 16 consecutive rounds is a genuine premiership contender but three wins from the previous eight starts isnt the most convincing form guide heading into a premiership decider.In addition, one of those losses was against the Storm less than a month ago and if the Sharks dont start well, the mental demons could start to creep in. I think Cronulla can go with Melbourne early but once the emotion subsides and the arm-wrestle takes over, I expect the Storm to prevail.?Tip: Storm by 10Enter your ESPNfootytips NRL selections Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
