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. Air Max UK Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla. Nike Air Max Sale Online UK . "This isnt really the week you want to lose Chris Greaves," fellow lineman Glenn January said Wednesday after practice.

With Carlos Tevez rested, Giovinco was handed a rare start and he put Juventus in front in the 16th minute, dribbling his way into the right of the area before curling a shot into the far corner. Juventus doubled its lead 10 minutes later when Llorente prodded in a rebound after a goalmouth scramble following a corner. Antonio Contes side remains firmly on course for a Serie A and European double. Juventus faces Benefica in the Europa League semifinals as well as having a clear advantage over Roma with five rounds remaining. "This was a red flag match, we could have lost points at Udine," Conte said. "But we were very good in approaching the match with the right focus and attitude. We have to stay on the ball because Roma wont give up, "I knew (Giovinco) was in great form. He has to realize he can make the difference even in a team like Juvenntus.dddddddddddd We decided to rest Carlos also because he still has a bit of a thigh problem. We need everyone because we are involved on two fronts." Giovinco almost got a second but Simone Scuffet palmed his effort round the far post, while he also hit the upright late on. Scuffet has had a number of impressive performances of late and the 17-year-old goalkeeper is already being touted as Juventus counterpart Gianluigi Buffons successor for Italy. Udineses best chance came in stoppage time when Luis Muriels effort came off the base of the right post. "We met a really strong side which deserved to win," Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin said. "My team played with courage and determination. Juventus was good in closing down the spaces but we played with pride and we gave everything we had to give." There was a video tribute before the match to former Udinese player Piermario Morosini, who collapsed and died while playing on loan for Livorno against Pescara, two years ago to the day. ' ' '
