COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Khris Middleton Jersey
. -- Olympic ice dance gold medallists Meryl Davis and Charlie White
are taking some time off.
The most successful duo in U.S. history in the sport will skip the
2014-15 competitive season.
The announcement by the Michigan natives four months after winning the
Sochi Olympics was not a surprise. Davis and White have skated together
for 17 years, winning six U.S. titles, two world championships, five
consecutive Grand Prix Final golds, and silver at the Vancouver Games in
2010 before becoming the first Americans to win an Olympic ice dance
title.
Davis and White did not lose a competition the last two years and also
won a bronze medal in the Olympic team event.
"Were so grateful for the support weve received through this truly
amazing year in our lives," Davis and White said in a statement. "Trying
to stay in the present, weve decided not to look too far ahead
regarding our competitive careers. Well be taking the 2014-15 season
away from competition. We will not make any further decisions until a
later date."
They have cashed in on their celebrity since the Olympics, with, among
other things, Davis winning "Dancing With The Stars," in which White was
eliminated in the semifinals.
White, 26, and Davis, 27, still plan to do ice shows and tours together.

. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS (Pistons): Yes they got Josh Smith and
Brandon Jennings in the off-season and Andre Drummond is a beast (teams
are kicking themselves for passing on him - he rebounds and block shots
every game - thats two more discernable and significant skills than most
guys in his draft class), but dont for a second discount the impact of
having a savvy veteran like Billups on your team.

Steelers showed they can finish.LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears

As a second-stringer behind Matt Forte with the Bears, Bush had 177
rushing attempts for 608 yards and eight touchdowns. He added 13
receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown in 28 games, one of them a
start.
A fourth-round selection (100th overall) by the Raiders in the 2007
draft out of Louisville, Bush sat out the 2007 season due to a leg
injury.
