Even as a former player I sometimes forget how important football is to the players and how important winning is to all players, especially a championship. When you are at the stadium watching the individual introductions you cant help but notice the watery eyes of just about every player on both teams in the moments before they run on to the field to play in the Grey Cup. It is a moment. It is impossible to determine what is going through a mans mind that would make him cry in such an enjoyable event but there it was in perfect jumbotron colour - player after player almost losing control as their name is about to be introduced in front of 50,000 people in stadium and millions on TV. If anything, you would want the opposite to happen, to stay in control and be calm and focused. Yet 24 players could not hide their emotion and it was so evident how important the moment was to them in a most personal way. In an athletic world dominated by a desire for positive revenue streams it was the tears of pre-game that was the moment for me. Nobody can tell me that money was more important than winning the 2014 Grey Cup to those so directly involved. The eyes showed the truth. For Calgary, Bo Levi Mitchell took a step from good to great in this game and that was tangible. His calmness under stress was so evident all game and his physical skills were as well. Dave Dickenson as an offensive coordinator had a good day. How do you have a good day as an offensive coordinator? You see your plan unfold in front of you in a detailed way. By using Jon Cornish as a possibility and not as a reality it just seemed to be enough to open any - and at some moments - all opportunities down field. Dickenson was a great player, is a great coordinator and may have the opportunity to be a great head coach in the near future. His mentor John Hufnagel has trained and influenced him well. With the Ticats so many of their missed opportunities were taken away in many cases by their own actions. The penalty on the return by speedy B Brandon Banks had to be called. If it had not been called that official could lose his job and credibility. I detest football penalties and the poetic moment for Hamilton would have been something historic but the right thing happened, however painful. In the end it was a good Grey Cup that was sold out contrary to reports of the opposite. And in the end the best team did win, with a record 17 wins and only three losses. The Calgary Stampeders now get a Grey Cup ring, and they earned it. Demaryius Thomas Jersey . It was the most lopsided loss in Lakers history. Darren Collison had a team-high 24 points while starting at shooting guard for the injured Jamal Crawford. Chris Paul added 13 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who apparently are trying to make up for decades of humiliation at the hands of the Lakers all in one season; theyve won the last two meetings by a combined 84 points. DOnta Foreman Jersey . The Swiss won on the fastest run-time tiebreaker after the four-racer teams tied 2-2. Wendy Holdener and Reto Schmidiger won their final heats against Julia Mancuso and Tim Jitloff, respectively. http://www.officialhoustontexansfootball...e-jersey-womens. Berdych and Stepanek played all five matches when the Czechs beat Spain 3-2 in the final last November in Prague to win the countrys first title as an independent nation. Julien Davenport Jersey . Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, Fiorentina levelled on aggregate in the 14th minute when Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez headed back a long ball from David Pizarro and Pasqual smashed home an angled volley. Zach Fulton Jersey . They actually finished with a better record in ‘07 than they did in ‘06 but only marginally, going from 61 victories to 66. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Mark Calcavecchias 8-foot closing putt for birdie put him in a better mood and sole possession of the second-round lead in the Regions Tradition at Shoal Creek. Calcavecchia insisted that only the first benefit was meaningful. He shot his second straight 3-under 69 on Friday to reach 6 under and take a one-stroke lead over Jay Haas at the Champions Tour major. Haas had a 70 after they came in as part of a four-way tie in the major championship. Haas missed a 4-footer on No. 18 to give Calcavecchia a shot at the solo lead at the midway point. Calcavecchia said finishing with a birdie improves his mood, lead or no lead. "It really doesnt matter, other than the fact that Im happier that I made the putt on the last hole, made the 8-footer for birdie as opposed to missing it," said Calcavecchia, who is seeking his first Champions Tour win since the 2012 Montreal Championship. "Sixty-nine sounds better than 70, it always has. "It always feels good to birdie the last hole. Leading as opposed to being tied for the lead, that makes no difference whatsoever to me." It was the highest score for a 36-hole leader at the Tradition since J.C. Snead was 6 under at Desert Mountain in 1996. The 36-hole leader has only won one of the last nine majors on the 50-and-over tour, with the exception being Mark Wiebe last year in the Senior British Open. Calcavecchias main concern is a rib problem he aggravated late in Thursdays round, leading to upper back spasms. He said it began flaring up again after swings starting on No. 14 Friday. "Its like a delayed reaction, then it kind of goes away," he said. Kenny Perry and Olin Browne were 4 under. Perry had a 68, and Browne shot 71. Browne was part of the first-round logjam along with Chien Soon Lu, who shot a 77. Haas birdied the first four holes, and Calcavecchia had three birdies on the first six holes. "I didnt put myself into a lot of bad positions," Haas saiid.dddddddddddd"Being 4 under after four was kind of a dream start and it kind of slowly got away from me. But I like my position. I feel pretty good about my situation going into the weekend." He bogeyed No. 5 after landing in the bunker and then three-putted No. 15 for another bogey. Haas followed that with a 35-footer for birdie on No. 16. Calcavecchia also had a bogey on the 15th hole after having a bad lie about 10 yards right of the green. He chipped it some 15 feet past the hole. Calcavecchia said he started his round knowing Haas had gotten off to a good start and that Tom Pernice Jr. -- who finished with a 70 and was four strokes back -- had also opened with four straight birdies. Beyond that, he said hes not a scoreboard watcher. "Theres no point in really looking at this stage," Calcavecchia said. "Youre just trying to play the course and make as many birdies as possible and pars. Still a long way to go. If it was a three-rounder like most of our regular tournaments, it would be a little different story maybe. But were only halfway done." Haas takes a different approach. "I look at scoreboards all the time," he said. "I like seeing my name up there and seeing whats going on and all that. Its such a long race and theres so much golf left to be played that Im not too concerned about one shot here and there. You hate to throw any shots away obviously, but Im still feeling pretty good about where I am." Perry had three birdies on the final nine holes and was already looking forward to Round 3. "Saturdays the rocking chair day as I call it, and Ive got to make my move on that day," said Perry, who also had two bogeys. "I need to shoot another one of these or a little better to get back into it for Sunday." Defending champion David Frost was five strokes back and two-time winner Tom Lehman was six away from the lead. Both had 71s. Fred Couples was 7 over after a 77.
