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. Jonathan Taylor College Jersey . 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. Russell Wilson College Jersey . - On the night Dirk Nowitzki overtook Dominique Wilkins on the career scoring list, Brandan Wright was a human highlight film all by himself. J.J. Watt College Jersey . The 29-year-old German, the 2011 overall World Cup champion, says she has decided "to end my career now.MIAMI - The Miami Heat will try to take a 2-0 lead over the Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals when the teams meet for Game 2 Wednesday night at American Airlines Arena. The two-time defending NBA champions took Game 1, 99-88, on Sunday. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were their future Hall of Fame selves in Game 1. The pair combined for 50 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. James made four of Miamis 11 3-pointers and finished with 27 points and nine rebounds, while Wade added 23 points and five assists. The duo shot 18-of-32 (56.3 percent) from the field, and Miami received key contributions off the bench from James Jones and Chris Andersen, with Jones chipping in 12 points and Andersen adding eight points and 10 rebounds while limiting Al Jefferson on the defensive side. "Besides starting off slow in the first and second quarters I thought we played a pretty good game," Wade said. "Now were going to go look at adjustments we can make and figure out how we can be better in Game 2." Jefferson has become the story of this series. He started strong on Sunday, but was hobbled after suffering a strain to his left plantar fascia in the first quarter. "When it first happened I was in a lot of pain, but as the game went on it eased up," Jefferson said, adding he received a shot at halftime but would be fine for the remainder of the playoffs. "Its just somethinng I have to play through. Cheap Wisconsin Jerseys Authentic. " And Jefferson left no doubt on Tuesday when speaking with the media. "Im suiting up," Jefferson said. "Itll take more than that to make me sit down." He still logged 18 points and 10 rebounds on Sunday ,while Kemba Walkers 20- point effort led the club. This would appear to be a one-sided matchup on paper. The Heat have won the last two titles and appeared in the Finals three seasons ago. They earned the No. 2 seed with another great regular-season run. The Bobcats are making their second playoff appearance in franchise history and entered the series having dropped 16 consecutive regular-season games to their fellow Southeast Division rivals. But Charlotte was game on Sunday. The score was even, 59-59, before James hit from behind the arc late in the third quarter, and the four-time league MVP beat the buzzer with another 3- pointer to send the Heat into the fourth with a 72-65 advantage. The Heat pulled away for good early in the final stanza, as Jones and Wade each connected from long range during a 13-1 surge that extended Miamis lead to 87-70 lead under 6 1/2 minutes to play. The closest Charlotte got down the stretch was the final score. Heat guard Mario Chalmers is questionable for Wednesday with a bruised knee. If Chalmers cant go, Norris Cole or Toney Douglas would get the start. Game 3 will be Saturday night in Charlotte. Wholesale China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys Hockey Jerseys China Supply Baseball JerseysFootball Jerseys Sale Authentic College Jerseys MLB Jerseys China Stitched Soccer Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Nike Jerseys ' ' '
