Nye: Riders learn important lesson against Stamps
The Saskatchewan Roughriders now know what it’s going to take to get to the 101st Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium.The Calgary Stampeders taught them a lesson, and maybe their most important before the playoffs begin in two weeks.The Riders went into McMahon Stadium with a bit of confidence. They were winners of three straight, the latest of which being a dominant win over the team they’ll play in the Western Semi-Final. Yes, they were competitive against the best team in the West, but competitive isn’t going to get them to the Western Final at McMahon Stadium.It didn’t win them the game on Saturday.The Riders had their chances, forcing three turnovers in the early goings of the game. However, those chances were squandered, as they managed to register just six points off those opportunities.Once the Riders were inside the 10 , they couldn’t convert. Instead of handing the ball over to their likely selection for Most Outstanding Player in Kory Sheets, they opted to throw ball.Mark that down as one of the lessons learned.What gets you to the big game will more than likely help you win the big game. The Riders went away from the run and away from Sheets in the first half with just five touches going into the final 30 minutes.Here's an interestoing stat: The team was 11-1 in games where Sheets got the ball 20 or more times.Sheets needs to be an integral part of the game plan. When Sheets is getting the ball, the offence can do so much more off play action. When there is no threat to run, there is no threat to fake a hand off and what you get, is the game Charleston Hughes and company got: Seven sacks on Darian Durant, most on second and long.Discipline is another lesson learned.

View Game Stats Buy: Riders vs. Esks tickets Far too often,Arizona Cardinals Jersey, especially in the first half of their 29-25 loss, the Riders were helping out the Stampeders 15 yards at a time with clipping, unnecessary roughness or roughing the passer penalties. Those types of penalties in a playoff game will have an even bigger impact than they will in Week 17.On top of that, the Riders’ bench was nailed for an objectionable conduct penalty with less than three minutes to play.That call, along with the pass interference call that led to the bench losing their cool, allowed the Stampeders to get into Riders territory, extend the drive and eventually score the game winning touchdown.The other lesson the Riders will need to learn doesn’t come from Saturday’s game. They can’t look too far down the road.Durant is well aware of that.Before the game against the Stampeders, the quarterback was hesitant to discuss what Saturday’s result could mean in the Western Final if these two teams were to meet again.Durant noted instantly that the BC Lions are still in the mix.They are in fact the team the Riders will play in the Western Semi-Final in two weeks, and are one angry team after the Riders pounded them just a week ago.In the meantime,Cheap NFL Jerseys, Saskatchewan has a game coming up where they can work on some of these lessons the Stampeders taught them.Their offence needs to start becoming a big play machine, rather than one that seems to be lacking the spark that the Stampeders had.There are, however, some positives from the loss.The Riders showed they are right there with Calgary. The Stampeders needed a few calls to get the yardage to put them in winning territory.Saskatchewan is close.But, as they say, close is only effective in horseshoes and hand grenades.Close in football means you’ll be talking about next year before the Grey Cup is handed out at Mosaic Stadium November 24th.

Pedersen: Expectations at an all-time high in Riderville
As long as I live, I’ll never figure out Rider fans. At least, a very large portion of them.The Saskatchewan Roughriders re-gained sole possession of first place on Saturday afternoon with a last-second 24-21 victory over the Montreal Alouettes before a soldout crowd of 40,637 at Mosaic Stadium. Kicker Chris Milo hit a game-winning 34-yard field goal with no time left before the third-highest attended regular season game in Roughrider history.All should be good, right?Wrong.Had the Riders lost the game, and to be honest it really looked like they would when the team went down 21-14 with less than two minutes remaining, I was planning to head straight home afterwards to avoid the wrath of the Rider Nation on the streets of the Queen City. Dressler Lays Out for 21-Yard TD vs. Als However, since the football gods smiled on the Green & White and afforded them the comeback victory, I thought I’d venture out to a local watering hole to join the celebrations.However the smoke had barely cleared from the post-game fireworks when the barrage of negativity started flowing in. “That was the worst football game I’ve ever seen,” one local TV reporter said in the parking lot outside the stadium.I suppose I could give him that. It was an unexpectedly low-scoring contest in which the Riders held a narrow 8-7 lead at the halftime break. The game won’t be shown on ESPN Classics anytime soon.However things certainly heated up in the second half and the game was tied 11-11 going into the fourth quarter. And it was a war in the trenches on a steamy August afternoon with stars from both teams leaving the game with injury. For Montreal it was quarterback Anthony Calvillo and for the Riders it was wide receiver Rob Bagg. At press time, the severity of their injuries wasn’t known.The Riders were 12-point favourites heading into the game but the proud Alouettes, and backup quarterback Josh Neiswander, gave the Green Guys all they could handle in the latest chapter of their simmering rivalry which goes back to two Montreal wins in the 2009 and 2010 Grey Cups.It turned out to be a thriller, in a case of “last possession wins”. The game may have been sloppy but the Riders proved to be the team who made the fewest mistakes and scrapped back to get the victory. Quarterback Darian Durant threw a 65-yard touchdown strike to Taj Smith to tie the game in the dying moments and then on the last-minute drive, Durant got his team into position for the game-winning field goal.

Riders top Week 8 Power Rankings More from Rod Pedersen Afterwards,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, in the watering hole, fans were shaking their heads over-and-over at returner Jock Sanders’ two fumbles, and another from Durant, which looked at times like they may cost the team the game.Heck, they shouldn’t have won. Saskatchewan lost the turnover battle (4-3) as well as time-of-possession but it’s a 60-minute game and the Riders did just enough to be the better team on that Saturday afternoon.“Against Calgary or BC, they would have gotten slaughtered,” huffed one fan afterwards while another chirped, “They never would have won if Calvillo had stayed in the game.”I just smiled and nodded. Earlier in the season one fan complained that the Riders were blowing teams out week after week. Are you kidding me?Actually I think I’ve figured it out. It appears the Rider Nation would prefer if their team played error-free, perfect football but kept the games close enough so that they could win it in the end like a Hollywood movie script.However, that’s just not going to happen. Perhaps Chris Milo put it best after the game.“Huge thank you to all the 40,000+ at Mosaic today!” Milo wrote on Twitter. “Place was rockin’! Thank you for your endless support! Wasn’t pretty but a win is a win!”Indeed it is. And 6-1 looks pretty good to me.

But Is It A SPORT
But Is It A SPORT
On Nonsportsmanlike Conduct! I take a look at sports from the perspective of someone who was never very good at sports, doesn't really understand them, and yet likes. most of them. At first, I thought it was riding a tricycle, but then I noticed the hangglidery silhouette, and thought I should go look it up and see whether triking was some form of hanggliding but then I got distracted by wondering whether there are any I'd Rather Be Riding A Tricycle bumper stickers, and it turns out that there are not, if my scientific survey can be trusted. I've never understood the argument over whether people were waiters or waitresses, or actors or actresses, or congressmen or loonybinescapees who are coasting on racist Tea Party members eating up her deranged rhetoric, when it's obvious to me that an actor is someone who acts and so forth. That site has a video embedded in it that plays stirring music of the sort that typically plays in the background of midgrade television shows. Probably, they'd pay a lot. Americans are stupid that way.And in other ways. We're engaged in a debate right now about whether to shut down the federal government because the two major parties can't agree on whether we have to cut a lot of money, or even more than a lot of money, out of the budget, as both sides pretend that there isn't enough money to fund basic services like not letting people die in the streets, and yet nobody bothers to mention that we live in a country where we have so much discretionary money we can spend $245 million a year or $466 per minute on stock photos of people cutting lettuce?Yes, you read that right: $466 per minute. Angler of the Year title. S. BadenPowell is in the Hall of Fame for this:
History books recognize Lord Robert BadenPowell for his military genius during the Boer Wars. He practiced catchandrelease fishing nearly 50 years before it became widely accepted and, as is obvious from his writings, was a true believer in anglings powers of healing and the rejuvenating effects of time spent on the water. He traveled extensively, first in the military and later as Chief Scout. And everywhere he went, he fished. Lord BadenPowell passed along these intense feelings about fishing in the Fishes and Fishing chapter of Scouting for Boys: Every Scout ought to be able to fish in order to get food for himself So, basically, he fished a lot, and also founded the Scouts. Good enough for me. (I'm looking at you, NASCAR.)(But not literally, as I never watch NASCAR.). And yet. The talk centered on Joe Gaviola, who'd won 3 of 4 prior tournaments, and who himself said that if he won in 2007, he'd suspect himself of cheating.
You know, while we all laugh at her and/or despair of civilization because we know who she is, Snooki got paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers. How much did you get paid to speak at Rutgers?Does It Involve Physical Exertion? Judging by The Old Man And The Sea, yes. That guy had the worst time getting that fish back to shore. Judging by the videos you can find of a man fishing via an RC helicopter, no, there's no physical exertion involved. Losers. Plus, that fish totally didn't look dead. Lots of fish lay meekly on their side in the water. Flounder, for example. Don't be hatin' on him just 'cause he's way better than you at RC Heli fishing. Why is it tough/cool to get injured doing a sport? I don't know; I'd think it'd be tougher to never get injured, because that shows you're doing it right, whereas if you get hurt you're obviously doing something wrong, but that's just me. of Curmudgeon; esq. .

Important Facts You Need to Know
Important Facts You Need to Know
The teenage years are turbulent times. They are not children anymore but they're not adults yet. Caught in a time when they are trying to make sense of the rapid bodily changes that they are experiencing, teenagers are often vulnerable to outside influences yet at the same time resistant to parental advice. As boys try to grapple with changes in their physiques, they also strive to find their niche in the society to belong to. They strive to form lasting friendships as they seek to carve their individual identities under the critical eyes of parents, peers and teachers. Teenage girls, meanwhile, have to come to terms with the fact that their breasts are getting larger and that they have monthly periods. These body changes have made them more conscious of the way they move and act, especially around the opposite sex.
Getting teenagers involved in youth sports is one way of helping them cope with the turbulent changes that they are experiencing at this stage of development. By participating in youth sports such as basketball, swimming, softball, soccer, tennis, volleyball and even golf, teenagers are able to learn valuable lessons that positively affect the various aspects of their lives. One of the more important benefits of encouraging teenagers to participate in sports is that it equips him with patience and persistence skills that they will find useful when they grow up. To perfect his or her skill in a sport requires constant hours of practice. This develops patience. When a teenager loses a game, he or she learns to practice some more, to persist in winning the game. Being involved in a team also fosters teamwork. The qualities of patience, persistence and teamwork are important values to develop when they grow up as adults. They will encounter many setbacks and knowing how to deal with these will inevitably spell the difference between future success and failure.
As the levels of obesity among the younger population are on the rise these days, letting teenagers participate in youth sports will definitely help keep their weight under control. It will teach them the importance of exercise and a healthy diet early in life. Research has shown that those who practice good lifestyle habits early in life have better chances of practicing healthy living as adults. Moreover, those who are involved in active sports while they're young grow up healthier, stronger and more balanced physically and emotionally. With improved feelings about one's body come high levels of selfconfidence that most teenagers lack. It also prevents them from succumbing to depression due to negative feelings about themselves. When teenagers feel sure and confident about themselves, they are also better equipped to deal with peer pressure that might lead them to smoking, drinking and sex. Practice hours keep them busy and occupied. Any stress they have about any situation is practically burned at play. They don't look for unhealthy ways of coping because the sport itself is demanding enough to keep them occupied even as the element of fun and the spirit of friendly competition keeps them engaged. When teenagers get into youth sports, the ultimate result is in a wellrounded, more confident and mature personality.

New Marriage
New Marriage
Your wedding dress is neatly packed away in its special box. The thankyou notes have been sent. And your blissful honeymoon is already a distant memory. You spent months preparing for the big day, keeping a vigilant eye on the scale, getting the needle down to the perfect wedding weight, ensuring that you looked your best as you walked down that aisle. Now, that megamotivation has disappeared from your everyday life. On top of it, you're adjusting to living and eating with another person, namely your husband. "It's a lot of energy to adapt to a new way of living and sometimes people don't have the energy to say no to the food."
As a result, it's crucial to have a postwedding plan in place for establishing healthy eating patterns in your new marriage. Experts agree: Communication is key to creating a healthy lifestyle together. "Talk to your husband about your eating habits and plans. Ask him to be supportive," says Alison Brown, PhD, a clinical psychologist in New York City who specializes in food and weight issues. What if your new spouse has a penchant for nacho chips and rocky road? "It is important to have the courage to say what you need," agrees Clark. "Negotiate what kind of food you're going to keep in the house," adds Brown. Ask him to keep the cookies in the trunk of the car or order ice cream at the local softserve hut rather than keeping cartons of it in the freezer.
Plan your meals together, suggests Rebecca Kelly, nutrition specialist and registered dietitian with Mississippi State University's Extension Service. "Go to the library together and check out a couple of good cookbooks. Educate yourself on cooking ethnic cuisine or lowfat cooking in order to achieve balance in both of your diets."
Also, think about other rituals you can create with your husband, outside of eating. "It could be an interest in hobbies such as flea markets or music that your share," says Brown. "Try exercising together, so mealtime is not the only time you spend together." Take up a new sport that you both enjoy, such as ballroom dancing or racquetball.
