take a picture with the ring. Ive got to get one of those,

VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Bang.Jay Wright calmly mouthed one word when Kris Jenkins hit the 3-pointer at the buzzer that won Villanova a national championship. The Wildcats returned home the next day for a pep rally at the campus football stadium, and their celebratory victory tour has barely slowed down since April.The White House. Wall Street. The ESPYs. The ticker tape parade. The Philadelphia professional sports teams feted the Wildcats with first pitch, first puck, first tip fun. Wright delivered a pep talk to the Eagles. Basketball and Basilica in Spain. Whats the next chapter? Read all about it in Wrights upcoming book, Attitude.Wright sat down with The Associated Press to talk about his favorite moments from a summer where the Wildcats reigned as the national champions. Here are some of his memories from what Wright called, a wild offseason. Wild. And great.---HAIL TO THE CHAMPSPresident Barack Obama welcomed Villanova in May to the White House and congratulated the Wildcats for winning what he described as maybe the best title game of all time.Waiting to be introduced, Wright chitchatted with Obama where the two discussed, well, basketball, of course. Obamas brother-in-law is former college hoops player and Oregon State coach Craig Robinson and the president fills out an NCAA Tournament bracket every year. He even picked the Wildcats to win the national championship in 2015 (and lost).He really knows our business, really knows it well, Wright said. Its funny to hear the president of the United States say how difficult a job we have. And youre hearing it from the president! But we had a really insightful conversation about college coaching that was awesome to me.---`CATS & BIRDS:Wright was invited by the Philadelphia Eagles to give a private pep talk to coaches and players in June.It was all about just being loyal to each other, the Eagles, the coaches and players. Theyre my favorite team, Wright said. I had met (coach) Doug Pederson because of (former coach) Andy Reid and I was friends with Andy.I would say the talk with the President was first and then the Eagles, that was really cool.---EMPTY HANDEDWright was in Washington for a leadership summit at the Pentagon when he met Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw back in 2014. Kershaw was in town to face the Nationals and the two bumped into each other at the Ritz.Kershaw was excited to reunite with Wright two years later on the red carpet for the ESPYs .He was like, `I want to take a picture with the ring. Ive got to get one of those, I dont have one of those, Wright said, laughing.Kershaw then threw Wright a curve -- that the Wildcats werent going to win any awards.He said, `Did you win? Wright said. I was like, well, we were nominated for three. As he said it, I realized, we would know if we won. He kind of started backing off. `No, no, no. I just remember last year I was up for one and the guy who won knew he won. It hit me before we went in there, we probably didnt win. We would have known if we won.---MOVING ONThe Wildcats stamped their passports for an eight-day tour of Spain that included three exhibition games against Spanish Select teams . The Wildcats toured Barcelona and Madrid in relative anonymity and avoided mobs of autograph seekers.Little known fact, Villanova is named for a Spanish Augustinian, Thomas Garc?a (1486-1555), the son of a miller who was born in Fuenllana, a village near Villanueva de los Infantes, Castile, Spain.Known fact, fans know who the Wildcats are in Philadelphia.We got back and people started taking pictures of us again, Wright said. It smacked us right in the face. In Spain, no one knew us. No one bothered us. But we got smacked in the face waiting for our bags. Everybody started asking for pictures because we were all together. It was all just a smack in the face of reality.---INSTANT REPLAYWright has watched a replay of the national championship game twice. He watched it with a coachs eye on the plane ride back from Houston and one more time with his family just days after the championship parade in Philadelphia.We listened to timeouts, we listened to Raff and Jim Nantz and Grant Hill, he said. We tried to get a feel for what people really saw and listened to. It took us like, three hours to watch the game. We kept rewinding stuff. We had a lot of fun with it. That was it. That was the last time.But video of Jenkins shot is on a continuous loop plays in the lobby of Villanovas basketball complex -- and the fun hasnt ended yet.Its been everything, Wright said. But we started practice on Friday and I kind of feel like officially, its over. Junior Seau Womens Jersey . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. Custom Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys . Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. http://www.prochargersteamstore.com/Youth-Joey-Bosa-Elite-Jersey/ .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Junior Seau Jersey .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. Lance Alworth Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. The feud between New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman threatens to overwhelm what is a critical early-season game in the NFC East.A division that the Redskins won with just a 9-7 record last season appears there for the taking for the Giants. New York is off to a 2-0 start and already owns a win over the Cowboys in Dallas. A Giants victory over Washington on Sunday (1 p.m. EDT) at MetLife Stadium would add a second division win and put the Redskins (0-2) in an awful position three weeks into the season.We look at it, Hey, its the next game, Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. Were worried about our season and what weve got to do, and its a chance for us to go 3-0, and thats all we are concerned with.Neither team wants to let Beckham-Norman drama overshadow the contest, though it figures to occur anyway.By the end of the Dec. 20, 2015, game in New York against the Carolina Panthers, Normans former team, Beckham had been whistled for three personal-foul penalties, including one after he got a 10-yard running start and smashed into Normans helmet.For his part, Norman was fined more than $26,000 and was called for two personal fouls. The Giants also maintained that Carolina players waved a bat at them before the game and hurled homosexual slurs at Beckham. Norman later denied that happened, but there was enough ugliness that day to go around.I am looking forward to playing the New York Giants, man, Norman said. A lot has been said from this week all the way up since last time we played each other, so Im sure theyre going to be ready just as much as we are. Shoot, seems Sunday cant get here fast enough.The Redskins are bordering on desperate. They were blown out by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the opener at home and were left seething after a close loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. Washingtons schedule only gets tougher in November and December, so the Redskins cant afford a slow start. Winning in New York is never an easy task, though. The Redskins have lost four in a row and seven of eight on the road againsst the Giants.ddddddddddddThe injury list is growing quickly for Washington, too. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson (knee/ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday. Left tackle Trent Williams (right knee), defensive end Chris Baker (rib/elbow/knee/toe) and rookie wide receiver Josh Doctson (left Achilles tendon) were all limited.New York is worried about starting right guard Marshall Newhouse (calf) -- who plays a position at which the team possesses limited depth -- and running back Rashad Jennings (thumb). The running game was ineffective in the Giants ugly 16-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Giants did not score an offensive touchdown.Another concern for New York? Three lost fumbles. The Giants cant afford to give Washingtons offense that many chances.Putting the ball on the ground three times is not something we want make a trend or something that we want to continue doing, Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz said. So we want to make sure that we pay attention to detail, pay attention to the little things. Ball security is definitely one of those little things that we need to clean up a little bit.The Giants defense has been solid against the run this season, but it is unclear how much Washington will employ running back Matt Jones and company this weekend.The Redskins profess to want to find a balance between the running and passing game, but they have thrown the ball 89 times and run it just 29 through two games. Some of that is because Washington fell behind early in the second half to the Steelers, but some of it is just not being able to move the ball on the ground and having so many weapons at wide receiver and tight end.Were not happy with the run-pass balance, Washington coach Jay Gruden said. Based on the numbers, were obviously not a run-first team. Id be standing up here looking like a fool if I said were a pound the rock type team right now. First two games, the proof is in the pudding, the numbers. ' ' '
