| 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. Jerry Rice Youth 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. Terrell Owens 49ers Jersey .com) - P.K. Subbans power-play goal 4:08 into overtime sent the Montreal Canadiens into the All-Star break with a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Terrell Owens Jersey .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. http://www.officialauthenticsf49ersonline.com/AUTHENTIC-ROGER-CRAIG-49ERS-JERSEY/ .com) - The Utah Jazz look to put an end to their five-game losing streak when the Denver Nuggets visit Salt Lake City Monday night.DETROIT -- Despite falling a single short of hitting for the cycle in front of his childhood idol, Eugenio Suarez still had a memorable game. Playing in just his eighth career game, Suarez had a double, triple, homer, two RBIs and scored three runs in Detroits 12-9 victory Saturday. He grounded into a force out in the eighth inning, ending his bid for the cycle. Making it even better, former Tigers star Magglio Ordonez was watching from a Comerica Park suite. Suarez grew up in Venezuela with Ordonez as his favourite player, and wears the same No. 30 jersey. "I didnt know I was ready to have a game like that," Suarez said. "It was great to have the chance at the cycle, even if I didnt get it, but it was more special because Magglio was here." The 22-year-old Suarez started the season in Double-A, and only got 12 games at Triple-A before coming up to the Tigers early this month. Hes hitting .400 with three homers in the big leagues. "We knew that he had some power, but we didnt expect him to come out like this," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "Hes become a major part of our offence a lot faster than we expected." One of Detroits veteran leaders, Victor Martinez, is also surprised at the way Suarez has arrived in the majors. "Hes been playing great for us, both on offence and defence," Martinez said. "When I came up to the majors, it took me a while to adjust and get into a rhythm, but he has just stepped right up." Suarez led off Detroits seven-run third inning with a homer and added an RBI double before it was over, but the Tigers had to hold on after jumping out to an 11-1 lead. The Twins scored eight runs in the final three innings against a slumping Tigers bullpen. "Weve got to be able to finish off games better than that," Ausmus said. "We had to get our top two guys up, and we used almost everyone else. That cant happen." Ian Krol got his first major league save by getting the last four outs, but also gave up a two-run homer. "Ive never been part of anything like that," said Krol, whose only other professional save came in Double-A. Detroit came into the game having lost 17 of 24 after a fast start to the season, but it was helped by another strong pitching performance. Anibal Sanchez (3-2) was charged with three runs and four hits in 6 1-3 innings. Sanchez, Drew Smyly and Max Scheerzer have combined for a 1. 49ers Hoodie. 69 ERA in Detroits last three games. Sanchez was in complete control before he walked the leadoff hitter in the seventh and allowed a one-out RBI triple to Eduardo Nunez. Evan Reed then came in, and Nunez scored on a passed ball. Samuel Deduno (2-5) lasted just 2 2-3 innings for Minnesota, which had won three in a row. The right-hander allowed seven runs and seven hits, struck out three and walked two. "Nothing was good today," he said. "I didnt make good pitches, and I didnt get much luck. I just couldnt stop their offence." Suarez started the third with a drive over the bullpens in left, moments after Ordonez was shown on the video board and received a huge ovation. Suarez drove in Nick Castellanos with a double later in the inning, and Torii Hunter also had an RBI double. Martinezs drive off the top of the right-field wall was originally ruled a double, but quickly became a two-run homer after a replay review. Ian Kinsler drove in the seventh run of the inning with an infield single, and third baseman Trevor Plouffe strained his left oblique diving for the ball. Plouffe stayed in the game for another batter, but had to leave after aggravating the injury while throwing out Hunter to end the inning. Suarez added a triple in the seventh. Only one player -- Cliff Heathcote of the 1918 St. Louis Cardinals -- has recorded a cycle within the first eight games of his career. The Twins scored three times in the seventh and eighth to close to 12-7, but Krol retired Joe Mauer with the bases loaded for the final out of the eighth. Krol allowed Brian Doziers homer in the ninth before finally finishing a game that had lasted almost four hours. "We kept swinging, and they didnt pitch very well after the starter came out, so we had chances," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We got back into it, and the guys were up and yelling in the dugout." NOTES: With the homer and double in the third, Suarez became the first Tigers player with two extra-base hits in an inning since Ordonez on Aug. 12, 2007. ... The teams finish the three-game series Sunday afternoon with Detroits Rick Porcello facing Minnesotas Ricky Nolasco. ... Gardenhire said Plouffe will probably go on the disabled list Sunday, and that he is also concerned about Nunez, who injured a hamstring late in the game.
