ays had great intentions and we moved

[lebaobei123]

The second hardest aspect of being a football analyst is when you have to be critical of players in a direct way on national TV. As a former player, I know how that can aggravate and make a difficult situation even worse and I only express those types of thoughts when truly the moment or scenario demands. Still, what is more difficult is to try to comment on what happened in Ottawa and try to express thought to convey sympathy and strength to those involved. The insignificance of football was so evident in trying to create a moment of contentment for those viewing TSN early Friday night. At times you can be at a loss for words, as a priority is to not offend but only to support. I do want to compliment all involved in the ceremony before kickoff, as it was not too much or too little. I thought it was just right, if there is an evaluation possible. I did feel a sense of respect; an appreciation and understanding that what I take for granted others have paid a price for. Unfortunately as a human, I will probably, over time, take it for granted again but maybe not in the same way. Well done to the Ottawa Redblacks and those involved. Well done on Friday night. In Montreal, the turnaround is now becoming the best story of the 2014 season. From 1-7 to 7-1, which with two games to go means the Alouettes are 8-8 and they just may win the East. Key decisions made to bring in Jeff Garcia as quarterback coach, have Ryan Dinwiddie move upstairs to oversee and call the plays, and not change from the decisions has produced a winning team. Over the first eight games of the season, they had an average 15 points scored a game. In the last eight games; 25 points per game. First eight games; 258 yards and now 317 yards. 23 sacks allowed in the first eight and going into Fridays game, only six. And the Alouettes now are masters of taking the ball away and not giving it up. John Hufnagel and Chris Jones will be given high consideration for CFL Coach of the Year, but if Montreal continues its winning ways all the way to the Grey Cup and wins, then Tom Higgins deserves the recognition. Players win games more than coaches but the turnaround in Montreal needs calm leadership. Thats Tom Higgins. Calgary 40, Saskatchewan 23 was slightly misleading to me, as the fourth quarter interceptions changed the game. Kerry Joseph was 21 of 37 for 322 yards and two touchdowns -- if we could just stop right there! But add the three interceptions and its game over. Still, a good move to give quarterbacking responsibilities to Joseph and I have been impressed. He took some good shots in the game and jumped up fast looking for more. At 41, he is too old to play 18 games but he has a maturity and presence about him that offsets his age. Darian Durant is the past, present and future of Rider football and I think we will see him again before this season is over, but I give Joseph a ton of respect to walking into a difficult situation and doing what he can do to try to make an awkward season into a good one. For Calgary, they are the best team in the league and to win 14 games with all the adversity and injury that goes into a season is a remarkable accomplishment. With Winnipeg and Calgary left, an 18-2 season would set a new standard of CFL football excellence. Tom Higgins, John Hufnagel and Chris Jones run very good organizations in completely different ways. In Toronto, the Argos were ready to play. It was 15-0 at one point, with 11 first downs to one and 11 minutes to four in terms of time of possession by the end of the first quarter. The Argonauts were ready to play and not so much that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats were not, as I had concluded at the end of their 109 yard drive for a touchdown that all confidence and momentum had shifted. Zach Collaros can play quarterback and his 23 for 36 and 335 yards says so. But the Ticats had 12 yards rushing and without a balance of some type you cant win consistently. The Argos had 80 yards from Steve Slaton on his own and that running effect changed the game. Reality is that Toronto is 7-9 and Hamilton is 7-9, a disappointing seasons so far. But with Hamilton, the plan is in place and over the time this year and next they will improve. Its a different issue with Toronto. They need a home and a physical presence in the city that is rock solid and consistent. If you could see the football facilities that the Edmonton Eskimos have you understand why they are 11-5. When you relive all the different locations the Argonauts have had to use and how they have been abused, you understand why they are 7-9. And finally; Winnipeg and BC. Sometimes repetition creates a reality that cant be ignored. Drew Willy is the future, Paris Cotton played well as a running back and Winnipeg cant stop a run game even when they know a run game is coming. It happened again, as BC closed out their game at Winnipeg with Keola Antolin and his 80 yards. The Lions are a sneaky, dangerous team. They have maturity at quarterback with Kevin Glenn, a proven pressure kicker in Paul Mccallum, a surprise physical receiver in Ernest Jackson (62, 220 lbs) and a very good defense. They are tied with Saskatchewan in point total with 18 but have two games to play; the Riders only one.

Watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO at 9pm et/6pm pt. The Thunder earned their first win of the set with Sundays 106-97 victory and Ibaka played a big role. After suffering a left calf strain against the Los Angeles Clippers in the previous round, Ibaka was ruled out for the remainder of the postseason. He missed the first two games of the conference finals in San Antonio, but word changed on Friday that the big man had improved tremendously and was considered day-to-day. Ibaka started Game 3 and dominated early, going 4-for-4 from the floor in first quarter. He finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and four blocks in just under 30 grueling, limping minutes. "I was so emotional, but you couldnt really tell because I was on the court," Ibaka said. "I just want to thank my teammates, thank Russell, he tried to get me going early in the game. Kevin (Durant), (Kendrick) Perkins, Reggie (Jackson). I will never stop thanking them for tonight. I will never forget that. It was very special tonight." Without Ibaka, the Thunder allowed the Spurs to shoot at least 50 percent in the first two tilts and San Antonio won them by a combined 52 points. The Spurs shot just 39.6 percent (36-of-91) from the floor in Game 3. Westbrook finished 8-of-19 from the field after missing seven of his first eight shots, netting 26 points to go with eight rebounds and seven assists. Durant added 25 points and 10 boards for the Thunder, who held a commanding 52-36 advantage on the glass. Reggie Jackson, who was inserted into the starting lineup for Thabo Sefolosha, also had 15 in the win. Manu Ginobili nailed six 3-pointers and scored 23 points for San Antonio, which hass dropped eight straight to the Thunder in OKC, including the postseason.dddddddddddd. Tim Duncan added 16 and Kawhi Leonard chipped in 10 in the loss. "I was very disappointed that we didnt come out with more of a foot in the neck sort of an attitude," admitted Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "They killed us on the board, they beat us on 50/50 balls, and thats very disappointing to me. Thats not the way you approach a game." Ibaka carried OKC in the first quarter, but San Antonio led by one after the first 12 minutes. Westbrook nailed a pair of pull-up triples in the final 30 seconds of the half, including one at the buzzer to give the Thunder a 57-53 cushion heading into the break. Two Perkins free throws at the 8:36 mark of the third capped a 10-2 burst and gave the Thunder a 67-57 cushion. His bonus shots provided OKC its first points not supplied by either Durant or Westbrook since a Jackson floater with 4:01 to play in the second. Ginobili nailed a left wing trey to pull San Antonio within 75-71 with 2:46 to go in the period, but the Thunder extended the margin to 83-76 at the conclusion of the third and then put the game away early in the fourth. Oklahoma Citys lead grew to as many as 20 and the Spurs couldnt get it into single digits. "I think the biggest thing that changed was the intensity on the defensive end," said Durant. "We still turned the ball over more than we should have, but I think we always had great intentions and we moved the ball from side to side tonight." In league history, 94 percent of teams to open a seven-game set 2-0 have gone on to advance. The Spurs sadly know all about the six percent. San Antonio held this exact margin in the 2012 Western Conference finals against Oklahoma City, only to lose the next four and watch the Thunder lose to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Game 5 will be Thursday night in San Antonio. Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
