CALGARY -- Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish wont play Sunday in Montreal against the Alouettes as recovers from "nagging injuries." "Ive been playing football at the level I want to play, but to continue playing at that level, I needed this week off," Cornish told reporters Friday in Calgary. "Ive had a few things accumulate playing some tough teams and needed some time. I would say this is more precautionary than anything." Cornish missed six games in July and August with concussion-like symptoms, but has been on a tear in the four contests since his return. The CFLs most outstanding player and top rusher last season ranks third in league rushing with 587 in five games. Calgary leads the West Division standings with a CFL-best 10-1 record. The Stampeders will also be without starting quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell in Montreal. Mitchell is recovering from a sprained ankle and stretched ligament in his left knee. Drew Tate will get his first start of the season. Alex Smith Redskins Jersey . He scored two highlight-reel goals in a three-minute span -- the second on a sideways bicycle kick in the 78th minute -- to give the Whitecaps a 2-2 draw with the Portland Timbers before a crowd of 20,303 at B. Troy Apke Jersey . Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Pernell-Mcphee-Jersey/ .

Troy Apke Redskins Jersey . - Ryan Spooner scored twice to lead the Boston Bruins to a 6-1 victory over the New York Islanders in a preseason game Friday night.CHICAGO - Joe Maddons unusual road to the managers office at Wrigley Field included a job interview at an RV park in Pensacola, Florida. The first public stop was a bar across the street from the iconic ballpark, where Maddon offered to buy a beer and a shot for everyone in the room.The Hazleton way, he said in tribute to his Pennsylvania hometown.If the beginning of Maddons partnership with the Cubs is any indication, this is going to be one interesting ride.Maddon brought his unconventional style to Chicago on Monday when he was introduced as the Cubs fifth manager since the start of the 2010 season, replacing Rick Renteria after just one year on the job. Flanked by smiling executives Jed Hoyer and Theo Epstein, he slipped on a pinstriped No. 70 jersey and repeatedly said how he excited he was about his new job.Perhaps more importantly, at least for a centurys worth of frustrated Cubs fans, he talked about winning — right now.Listen, for me, Im going to be talking playoffs next year. OK, Im going to tell you that right now, said Maddon, who got a $25 million, five-year contract — making him one of the highest paid managers in the game, because I cant go to spring training and say another thing. Im just incapable of doing that. Why would you even report?The 60-year-old Maddon had a 754-705 record in nine seasons in Tampa Bay, leading the club to four playoff appearances, two AL East titles and a five-game loss to Philadelphia in the 2008 World Series. The two-time AL Manager of the Year also was the bench coach for six seasons under Angels manager Mike Scioscia before he was hired by Tampa Bay in November 2005.The Rays went 77-85 this year, and Maddon opted out of his contract after Andrew Friedman left Tampa Bays front office to take over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 14. The Cubs already had a manager in Renteria, but Epstein felt he had to act on Maddons free agency.You wrestle with those things. As a person, I didnt want to do it, said Epstein, who also interviewed Maddon for the manager job with the Red Sox before he hired Terry Francona ahead of the 2004 season. I dont want to ever be unfair to someone else. But as an executive and as someone charged with winning a World Series here, I had no choice but to do it. It was clearly the right move for the Cubs.After Epsstein confirmed with Major League Baseball that Maddon had opted out of his contract, Hoyer informed Renteria about what was going on.dddddddddddd Then Epstein and Hoyer flew to Florida to meet with Maddon, who was travelling cross country with his wife, Jaye.We kind of sat behind the Cousin Eddie. Thats our RV, the Cousin Eddie, a 43-foot Winnebago, Maddon said, and we sat back there and pretty much just talked philosophy about how this is all going to work. For me, that was the most important thing. Thats what I needed to know, that we were philosophically aligned.Chicago finished 73-89 in Renterias only season as a major league manager. The move puts the rest of Renterias staff in jeopardy, but pitching coach Chris Bosio attended Maddons introductory press conference and Epstein made it sound as if he thinks most of the coaches will be retained.Maddon inherits an impressive group of prospects and a bigger payroll after his successful run with the small-market Rays. But he also gets a run of five consecutive losing seasons and a famous title drought that goes back to the Cubs win in the 1908 World Series.Chicago hasnt made it to the playoffs since it won the NL Central in 2008 with Lou Piniella in the dugout. Epstein was hired after the Cubs went 71-91 in 2011, beginning a rebuilding process that included 101 losses in his first year in charge.But Epstein thinks the Cubs are ready to contend right now, especially after the bold move to put Maddon in the dugout. First baseman Anthony Rizzo and shortstop Starlin Castro each made the All-Star team this year, and young sluggers Javier Baez and Jorge Soler had some positive moments in their first major league action.We believe that were transitioning away from a three-year period where we were essentially only accumulating young talent, and now were competing, Epstein said.Maddons most pressing task is building on the development of Chicagos core group of young players, while paving the way for another wave of prospects that includes third baseman Kris Bryant and shortstop Addison Russell.Why would you not want to accept this challenge in this city in that ballpark under these circumstances with this talent? Maddon said. Its an extraordinary moment.___Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
