As the memorable 2013 season — albeit, for less than desirable reasons — draws to a close, fans of the 3-13 Winnipeg Blue Bombers are going to be seeing changes for 2014 beyond the players on the field, coaches on the sideline, or brass in the front office. nike free 3.0 dame . The football club recently announced an increase in season ticket prices in five of the seven categories at Investors Group Field for 2014. While most increases are in the two to three per cent range, the clubs most affordable season tickets will jump from $199 to $250 — a 26 per cent leap. But while fans in the stands may not be enthused by current trends, things have been looking up as head coach Tim Burke continues his late-season mantra of improvement, growth, and development for his team headed into next season. The offence has begun to click as of late under mid-season offensive coordinator appointee Marcel Bellefeuille, with rookie quarterback Max Hall passing for a career-best 385 yards while leading his team to season-highs of 466 yards of offence and 25 first downs this week at home against the Argonauts. Halls 385 through the air is the second-highest total put up by a Bombers passer over the last four seasons. With Winnipeg in the Big Smoke for a rematch at Rogers Centre on Thursday night, the Blue and Gold hope to see similar production out of some starters who are trying to make a name for themselves. Running back Will Ford, who started the season as the No. 2 on the depth chart, continues his push to be the undisputed No. 1 headed into the offseason. His 324 rushing yards over the last three games ranks third league-wide, while he remains a dangerous threat as the deep man on kick and punt returns. Former NFL-standout Mike Sims-Walker made his first career CFL start last week, and while he has been ruled out this week with a sore and swollen knee, he definitely left an impression. His 8 receptions for 137 yards while in for Aaron Kelly on Saturday included four for first downs and 52 yards after the catch. The soon to be 29-year-old remains under contract next season. Notes: Young Canadian offensive lineman Patrick Neufeld will not dress for his first game in Blue and Gold this week after coming over from Saskatchewan in the Alex Hall trade... Wide receiver Aaron Kelly returns to his starting role with Sims-Walker out... Wallace Miles is slated to make his first start of the season in place of Terrence Edwards at slotback... Running back Mario Fannin is slated to dress for his first game after being signed to the practice roster on October 1... The defence will look relatively the same for their rematch with the Boatmen, as starting nickelback Desia Dunn moves back in for Jeremy McGee who suffered a hamstring pull against Toronto, and backup defensive lineman Michael McAdoo will dress for J.D. Griggs who has been placed on the one-game injured list. adidas zx flux køb .

Doneil Henry, the man who scored Toronto FCs last-gasp game winner Saturday, knows that probably better than anyone.NEW YORK -- Nearly halfway through their homestand, more than halfway through their season, and the only move the New York Knicks are making is backward. Evan Turner scored a career-high 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Thaddeus Young made a key 3-pointer on a play the Knicks admittedly botched, and the Philadelphia 76ers send New York to a fifth straight loss with a 110-106 victory on Wednesday night. Blowing a favourable portion of their schedule, the Knicks fell to 15-27, a season after losing 28 games total in winning the Atlantic Division. "This is the time right here to make up ground and were not," guard J.R. Smith said. "Were playing better on the road than we are at home and it should be the other way around if anything." Michael Carter-Williams and Young each added 19 points for the 76ers, who won for just the second time in nine games. James Anderson finished with 18 points as Philadelphia outrebounded New York 54-39 to snap a three-game skid. "Our team was good tonight. We played good team defence and we ended it with rebounds," 76ers coach Brett Brown said. "So Im happy that we came in here and found a way to get a win and it was through our defence." Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points after a slow start for the Knicks, who were at least competitive after losing the previous four by a combined 75 points. They are 0-3 on an eight-game homestand that matches a franchise record. But its not helping the Knicks at all, as they started their second half with another loss after going 15-26 through the midpoint of their schedule. With that in mind, Brown said he expected to see an "angry team" that wanted to fix things. Instead, the Knicks started slowly and finished poorly. "I really dont know what it is, why we cant play well on our own home court," Anthony said. "This should be the time where we gain some momentum, gain some confidence as a team playing here on our own home court, but that dont seem like its the case right now." After trailing most of the game, the Knicks ran off 10 straight points to open the fourth quarter and take a 90-84 lead on Tim& Hardaway Jr. nike free 5.0 tilbud. s three-point play. Philadelphia then held New York without a basket for more than 5 minutes and moved back into the lead at 96-92 on consecutive 3-poiners by Carter-Williams and Turner. "Really big for us to come back," Carter-Williams said. "We stayed together, stayed as a team, shared the ball at the end and we executed down the stretch." Smith ended the Knicks drought with a 3-pointer, but baskets by Young and Anderson pushed it to 100-95. New York had one last chance when it got within two, but Young made a wide-open 3-pointer and Turner followed with a basket for a 107-100 cushion that sent fans for the exits. The Knicks said they knew what the Sixers would do on the possession that ended with Youngs open look from the top of the key, but coach Mike Woodson said they "botched it up." Andrea Bargnani scored 20 points for the Knicks in his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench Monday in a loss to Brooklyn. Woodson wanted to return to the bigger lineup similar to the one that beat the 76ers in the last meeting. But the Knicks also had Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin for that game, and both are out now with sprained left ankles. The loss to the Nets was a tumultuous holiday for the Knicks, as their blowout loss was followed by quotes from Anthony that seemed critical of his teammates effort and Chandler that appeared to question coach Woodsons defensive strategy. They probably didnt feel much better after this one, losing to a team they had defeated eight of the previous 10 times. "Weve got to believe that we can win a game," Woodson said. Anthony missed all four shots and had just one point in the first quarter while the 76ers hit 56 per cent for a 33-26 lead. He came back with 13 in the second, helping the Knicks pull to 61-56 at halftime. NOTES: Sixers F Brandon Davies had surgery for a broken right small finger. The Sixers said Davies, hurt Saturday against Chicago, will be re-evaluated in two weeks, though Brown said hes expected to be out longer. ... The Knicks are worth a league-high $1.4 billion, according to a ranking in Forbes. wholesale nfl jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' ' |
