LAS VEGAS -- Up until last week, Manny Pacquiao was concentrating on trying to get the death penalty restored in the Philippines.Now hes focusing on something not nearly as controversial -- his return to the ring for a Nov. 5 fight with Jesse Vargas.Working in the Senate is not easy while youre training, said Pacquiao, a freshman senator in the Philippines. You manage your time and thats what I did in training for this fight.Pacquiao wont have to juggle two jobs for at least a few weeks, with the Senate now out of session. He arrived in Los Angeles over the weekend, eager to finish final preparations for yet another fight in a pro career that has stretched 21 years.What remains to be seen is how eager boxing fans are to see him against a relatively unknown boxer who isnt given much of a chance to beat him.You can say what you want about Pacquiao and Vargas, promoter Bob Arum said. I think its competitive, other people dont. Thats their opinion.Pacquiao joined Arum on a conference call Monday to discuss the latest reinvention of the fighter-turned-politician. The talk veered from boxing into politics, and to Pacquiaos two biggest goals as a freshman senator -- forming a boxing commission in the Philippines and restoring the death penalty eliminated in the country 30 years ago.Im enjoying working hard in the Senate while performing my job as a boxer, Pacquiao said. Im enjoying both.Pacquiao, who was dropped by Nike earlier this year after saying people in gay relationships were worse than animals, is an ally of new Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who has suggested recently that his country might be better off without its close alliance with the United States.Pacquiao seemed unconcerned that the comments might cost him some fans in the country where he has made millions of dollars.Everything is fine, Pacquiao said. He has clarified everything about the relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines.Trainer Freddie Roach said everything is also fine with Pacquiaos boxing career, which was on hold after a temporary retirement last year. He was impressive in April in dominating Timothy Bradley in their third fight, and Roach said he has spent weeks training in the Philippines for Vargas.Most of those training sessions were at night, as Pacquiao fulfilled a campaign pledge to be in the Senate each day it was in session.This is the best Ive seen Manny in a long time, Roach said. Hes been a lot more aggressive. The old Manny Pacquiao is coming out.Pacquiaos star has faded some since he lost in boxings richest fight ever to Floyd Mayweather Jr., and putting him in the ring with Vargas is a tough sell. Arum has added three title fights to the undercard and is going on his own in trying to sell it on pay-per-view.As part of that sales job, Arum is holding out the possibility that Pacquiao will fight unbeaten Terrence Crawford next spring should he beat Vargas.

Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. BERKELEY, Calif. -- Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies sure made a good case that they may have been snubbed in the initial College Football Playoff rankings even if they say they werent bothered by it in the least.Browning threw for 378 yards and six touchdowns to set Washingtons single-season record for TD passes, and the fourth-ranked Huskies beat California 66-27 on Saturday night.Days after being ranked fifth in the playoff rankings behind one-loss Texas A&M, the Huskies (9-0, 6-0 Pac-12) took care of business in efficient fashion hours after the Aggies were upset by Mississippi State.I think its good, Browning said. Theres a lot of football left to play. Put us outside the top four and make us earn it.John Ross had 208 yards receiving and three scores. Dante Pettis caught three touchdown passes and threw another to lead the Huskies (9-0, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 5 CFP) to their 12th straight win in convincing fashion.Washington is off to its best start since going 12-0 and winning a share of the national title in 1991.Its nice to get into a grove like that, Pettis said. You move the ball down the field pretty easily and things feel good. Everyone is in the mojo right there. Thats how it was today.The Bears (4-5, 2-4) had won five straight home games, including victories over ranked Texas and Utah earlier this season. But they were no match for the Huskies, who were far more potent on offense and much stingier on defense.Davis Webb threw for 262 yards and one touchdown, and ran for a second score. But he also had three second-half interceptions as the Huskies pulled away with 38 straight points after Cal cut the deficit to 21-20 midway through the second quarter.We just let the game get away from us, Dykes said. We turned the ball over on three straight possessions, we couldnt get any stops and we did not do a good job on third downs.Browning did most of the work, finding Ross and Pettis open repeatedly downfield for big plays. Ross scored on TD catches of 60 and 667 yards, eluding four defenders after backtracking 4 yards on the longer TD.dddddddddddd Pettis caught a 32-yard TD pass that gave Browning 34 TDs this season, one more then Keith Price had for the Huskies in 2011.They were kind of stacking the box, Browning said. Its high risk, high reward. Thats going to happen with those deep balls.THE TAKEAWAYWashington: The Huskies showed off their balance on offense. When Cal stacked the box to stop the run, Browning was able to beat the Bears with deep passes. When the defense rolled coverage to take away Ross, Washingtons other receivers took advantage of the opportunity. The Huskies also gained 287 yards on the ground with TD runs from Lavon Coleman and Myles Gaskin.California: Struggling on defense is nothing new for the Bears, who came into the game allowing more than 505.9 yards and 41.8 points per contest. The offense was a problem this game. Cal settled for field goals after starting in Washington territory on two first-half possessions and converted just 1 of 14 third downs.LONG TIME COMINGPettis said he had practiced his pass play a few times each week and was eager to get the chance to pull it off in a game. That opportunity came in the first quarter when he took a lateral from Browning and then hit Darrell Daniels for a 39-yard score.That was fun, Pettis said. Ive been joking to my coach that we were never going to call that paly and sure enough we called it today.WORST EVERCal tied the modern school record for points allowed in a game, matching the performance in a 66-0 loss to Alabama in the 1973 season opener.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Huskies should remain fourth in the AP poll .UP NEXTWashington: The Huskies host USC on Saturday.California: The Bears play the other top team in the division when they visit Washington State on Saturday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
