. James became the 12th player in NBA history to record three consecutive triple-doubles when he scored 34 points and added 13 assists and 10 rebounds in a 119-111 win over Phoenix on March 12, recording four triple-doubles and a dozen double-doubles in all during the month. Jordy Nelson JerseyINDIANAPOLIS - James Blake made quick work of quarter-final opponent Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan at the Indianapolis Tennis Championships on Friday, beating the unseeded player 6-2, 6-0 in 45 minutes. Calvin Johnson Jersey . The top-seeded Blake, ranked eighth in the world, was 20-for-20 on first-serve points and finished with seven aces against the overmatched Lu. Its a good feeling to get off that quickly, but its never expected, Blake said. Even if it sounds easy, its never that easy. Its a much shorter span of time, but to play that well you have to be moving your feet very quickly and doing everything effectively. Blakes second-round match wasnt as easy. He struggled early in the first set and fought off two set points in the second before defeating Jun Woong-sun of South Korea 6-3, 7-5 on Thursday. I was more focused on what I could do, how I could play better than (Thursday), Blake said. Im really pleased with the way I made an adjustment. Blake, who beat Andy Roddick in the 2006 final in Indianapolis and lost in the quarter-finals last year, advanced to play No. 3 seed Dmitry Tursunov in Saturdays semifinal. Tursunov, the defending tournament champion, got past unseeded Paul Capdeville 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the quarter-finals. Tursunov is a great player and . . . hes a guy that can give you a hard time, Blake said. I know hes got a lot of firepower. Sam Querrey, seeded fourth and ranked No. 45, will play No. 2 seed Gilles Simon of France in the other semifinal on Saturday. The championship match is scheduled for Sunday. All four top seeds advanced to the semifinal round for the first time since the tournament moved to a hard-court surface in 1988. Thats strange these days in tennis - top seeds get upset all the time, Blake said. Its really not easy to go through and beat every guy youre expected to beat. You know anyone can beat you on a given day. Querrey advanced with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 victory over fellow American Bobby Reynolds. I might have gotten a little content or lazy or something and he picked it up in the second set, said Querrey, who finished with 17 aces. After he got up a break in the third, I got it back together. I put some returns in the court and started picking up my game a little. Simon, the 25th ranked player, beat fifth-seeded Tommy Haas 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in the opening quarter-final match. I was more aggressive and hit the ball harder, Simon said of the final two sets. When you play Tommy, the hardest thing is to return. He has a second serve that is hard to read and you dont know where its coming. Ashley Fisher and Tripp Phillips advanced to the doubles final with a 6-4, 7-6 (3) victory over Rajeev Ram and Reynolds. The other doubles semifinal, which pairs Scott Lipsky and David Martin against Harel Levy and Jim Thomas, is scheduled for Saturday.  Authentic Ndamukong Suh Jersey . - Serena Williams spent more time waiting for her quarter-final match to start than she did on the court against Patty Schnyder.

(Sports Network) - The San Jose Earthquakes chances at a playoff spot in the upcoming Major League Soccer playoffs are on life support, but a 2-1 win on Sunday afternoon at D.C. United kept the doctors from pulling the plug. The Quakes (6-12-7) got second-half goals from Ramon Sanchez and Ryan Johnson to earn the important victory and stretch their unbeaten run to three games. San Jose now has five games left to earn a spot in the leagues top eight. D.C. United (8-7-12) suffered a devastating blow by giving up three points at home. The loss pushes United out of the top eight, meaning it has some work to do over its final three games to make the playoffs. United opened the scoring on Sunday when veteran striker Jaime Moreno got on the end of a Chris Pontius feed in the San Jose penaltty area and fired a left- footed half-volley into the net for his eighth goal of the season. Donald Driver Jersey. That was how the score stayed until San Jose equalized in the 58th minute on a Sanchez free kick. Sanchez took the chance from straight away, 20-yards out, and bent a perfect kick into the top right corner for his second goal of the season. The Quakes got the winner from Johnson in the 78th minute after a long-range shot at the D.C. net was deflected off the crossbar by defender Clyde Simms. Johnson pounced on the rebound, diving to head it into the open net for his ninth goal of the season. San Jose will try to continue its playoff push when it travels to New York on Saturday, while D.C. will aim to rebound vs. Chivas USA earlier the same night in its next MLS fixture.   ' ' '

Jordy Nelson JerseyWASHINGTON - Alex Ovechkin claims to dislike games that start early. Vernon Davis Jersey . His performance on the ice the past two contests tells a different story. Ovechkin scored three goals for his seventh career hat trick and second of the season to lead the Washington Capitals to a 7-4 win over the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. It was the second consecutive day the Capitals had a 12:30 p.m. start. On Saturday, Ovechkin said he felt "sleepy" early in the game, but woke up with two goals in the third period. He had no problems getting going Sunday, picking up his three goals in the first two periods. Asked after the game if he liked the early game time, he had a simple answer. "No," Ovechkin said. Saturday night, Ovechkin went to bed at about 8 p.m. and woke up at 6:30 a.m. to get to the arena for Sundays game. Even though hes not a fan of the earlier routine, the early wake-up call clearly had him feeling fresh right from the start. "I kind of feel pretty good today," he said. Ovechkins hat trick extended his NHL-leading total to 36 goals this season. He has scored at least two goals four times in the last seven games, and now has 199 career goals in his fourth NHL season. He completed the hat trick with 4:29 left in the second period when he took a pass from Sergei Fedorov near the left boards at the blue-line. Ovechkin skated in and put a shot through defenceman Filip Kubas legs - the second time hed gone through Kubas legs for a score - and past goaltender Alex Auld. "Its amazing he manages to get shots through the defences legs," said Eric Fehr, who also had a second-period goal for Washington. "Hes just got an amazing shot and an amazing release, and he gets a lot of goals." Ovechkins second goal came 2:15 into the second period, when he took a dump pass from Fedorov at the top of the right circle and ripped a shot through Kubas legs. That goal gave Washington a 4-2 lead, and led Ottawa coach Craig Hartsburg to pull starting goaltender Brian Elliot in favour of Auld. "Hes the star of the league," Hartsburg said. "People pay a lot of money to come watch him play, and he performs every night. Hes certainly worth the price of admission - not for the other team, he isnt, but certainly for the fans." Ottawas Daniel Alfredsson opened the scoring in the first period with the first of his two goals, but Washington wasted no time in taking the lead with an efficient power play. The Capitals needed only a combined seven seconds to score two goals after Ottawas first two penalties. Washingtons first goal came three seconds after the Senators first penalty. Nicklas Backstrom won the faceoff in the right circle and kicked the puck back to Mike Green, who pulled it in at the top of the circle and fired in the score. Less than a minute later, Washington had another power play, and this time the Capitals took a little longer - four seconds. The play started in nearly the same way, with Fedorov pushing the faceoff to Green at the top of the right circle. This time, Green found Ovechkin open on the right side of the ice. He put in his first goal of the game 10:32 into the first period, giving Washington a 2-1 lead. "You could tell that his shot was on today," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He was just on, he could have had a couple more. You can tell early when that shots going, when its not fluttering and its not going all over the place. I think it was about this time last year he started to get into a pretty good groove and started to kind of take over, and hopefully hes about to do the same thing." The Capitals scored four second-period goals to take a 6-2 lead, the most Ottawa has given up in any period this season. Along with Ovechkins pair and Fehrs goal, Alexander Semin picked up a breakaway when Green lobbed a pass over the Senators defence in the neutral zone. "A highlight pass," Boudreau said. "That was a sick pass by Mike Green." Ottawa cut the lead with two goals in the third. Antoine Vermette scored at 7:56 and Dany Heatley poked in a loose puck one-handed at 11:28. Backstrom finished the scoring with an empty-net goal in the final minute. "Its hard to keep the momentum going when youve got a team down 6-2," Boudreau said. Notes: Fedorov assisted on all three of Ovechkins goals. ... Green has scored in the last three games, and his 15 goals this season lead all NHL defenceman. ... Brent Johnson started in goal for the Capitals for the first time in eight games, giving Jose Theodore a rest. ... In his career, Ovechkin has scored three goals in a game five times, and has two four-goal performances. ...

. -- Jozy Altidore scored in the ninth minute as the United States held out Guadeloupe 1-0 on Tuesday to reach the Gold Cup quarterfinals of the Gold Cup. Jordy Nelson Jersey BOSTON - Alex Ovechkin is off to a fast start, and so are the Washington Capitals. Tony Scheffler Jersey . The two-time defending NHL Most Valuable Player had two goals and an assist, and Jose Theodore stopped 19 shots to lead Washington to a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins in the season-opener on Thursday night. If you give him too much time to shoot, he will make you look bad, Bruins defenceman Dennis Wideman said. He is the hardest-working and hardest-hitting superstar in the league. He is the Rafael Nadal of hockey, and (Sidney) Crosby is (Roger) Federer. Brooks Laich added two goals and an assist, Nicklas Backstrom had three assists, and Alexander Semin had two for Washington, which had not won in Boston in regulation in 14 tries since 2000. If you could bottle that game up, wed take it, Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said. Every night. The Capitals led 2-0 after Ovechkins goal in the second, when he took a drop pass from Semin and wristed it past Tim Thomas. They pushed on us hard, Ovechkin said. We played great defensively in the second period and we made that push and bounced back. That second goal was big. Washington put the game away with a pair of goals in the first 1:57 of the third period, when Laich scored on a power play before Ovechkin shrugged off Milan Lucic and beat Thomas again to make it 4-0. We had too many good players probably at their worst, Bruins coach Claude Julien said. You dont want to take credit away from him, but you also want to expect more of your players, especially when hes on the ice. Thomas, the defending Vezina Trophy winner as the leagues top goalie, made 30 saves. The teams each won their division last season before being dumped out of the playoffs in the second round: Boston by Carolina, and Washington by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins. We wanted to beat them, Ovechkin said. We want to be on top of everybody. The Bruins team that had 116 points last year - the most in the Eastern Conference - shipped away leading goal-scorer Phil Kessel this summer. And it looks as though they havent found a way to replace the offence. Only Patrice Bergerons goal with 12:04 left in the game kept Theodore from his 29th career shutout. This is not the same team youre going to see on the ice night after night. That I can guarantee, Julien said. As a home opener, its certainly not what you want to demonstrate. We have a chance to redeem ourselves soon. Hopefully the guys take advantage of that. NOTES: Julien is the reigning coach of the year. Boudreau won it in 2008. ...

. Gibbs spent the past three seasons as the defensive mastermind of the Saints, who allowed the fourth-most points in the NFC in 2008. Jordy Nelson JerseyPHILADELPHIA -- Heres a scary thought for Michael Vicks opponents: He could play even better next year. Authentic Ndamukong Suh Jersey . Vick had the best season of his career and led the Philadelphia Eagles to an NFC East title without the benefit of practising as the starting quarterback until Week 2 of the season. Theres no telling how well he wouldve played had he spent the entire off-season, all the organized team activities, minicamps and training camp preparing with the rest of the first-team offence and working with coach Andy Reid and offensive co-ordinator Marty Mornhinweg. "I think going through a whole training camp and just being here, being with Andy, he knows a lot of things that I need to work on, thatll make me a lot better as a quarterback," Vick said. "Itll pay huge dividends for me, so Ill be excited about that. Ill follow the same routine I had last year, keep the same attitude and the same work ethic." Vick began the season as the backup to Kevin Kolb. He got his chance when Kolb sustained a concussion in the opener, and forced Reid to make him the permanent starter with one dynamic performance after another. Vick was selected to start the Pro Bowl, his fourth trip to Hawaii in eight seasons. He set career highs in yards passing (3,018), touchdowns passing (21), touchdowns rushing (9), completion percentage (62.6) and passer rating (100.2). The Eagles (10-7) were 8-3 in games he started and finished. But his last pass will haunt him for a while. Vick threw an interception in the end zone with 33 seconds left to seal Philadelphias 21-16 loss to Green Bay in a wild-card game Sunday. "I try to do everything I can to possibly protect the ball, keep the ball away from the opposing team and make positive plays, and I failed to do that in that situation," Vick said. "Its something that Ill have to really work on in the off-season, so Ive just got to deal with it on a personal level." The 30-year-old Vick has overcome plenty of adversity in his life. He went from a megastar with the Atlanta Falcons to bankrupt and reviled. Vick missed two seasons because he served 18 months in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting operation. He returned to the league when the Eagles gave him a chance last year and worked his way up from a situational role to an MVP candidate. His remarkable comeback story wont be complete unless he one day hoists the Lombardi Trophy. "It was a great season, but the ultimate goal is winning the Super Bowl," Vick said. "It was a great season, but thats not enough." For all his success in Atlanta -- Vick went to three Pro Bowls in six years and took the Falcons from doormat to the NFC championship game -- he wasnt a complete player until coming here. Vick learned from Reid, Mornhinweg and quarterbacks coach James Urban to become a patient passer in the pocket. He still ran around and used his sensational scrambling skills to make big plays, but was more disciplined and usually looked to pass first. "Now I know how to play the game," he said. "Ive been taught how to play the game, how to go through my progressions, how to be patient, how to stay balanced, how to stay down when I throw. Discipline. Thats something Ive been taught, its something that Im going to continue to improve on and it cant be taken away from me. Im only going to get better." Vick doesnt have a contract for next season, and he would be a hot free agent on the market if the NFL labour situation allows. Its highly unlikely the Eagles will let him go anywhere. Vick wants to return and Reid already said he wants him -- and Kolb -- back. The Eagles have an impressive core of young players surrounding Vick on offence, and the team set a franchise record for points with 439. If the line improves and gives Vick more protection, he could do more damage next year. "The skys the limit, and I know that," Vick said. "I just know how hard Ive got to work. I know what I can accomplish. I know things that I didnt do so well this year that Im going to practice this entire off-season on. So, Im very thankful for the opportunity. Im very thankful to be here." Vick has said all the right things since his return, and hes handled his success much better than he did as a youngster with the Falcons. Hes open to criticism, and understands the magnitude of being the quarterback on a championship-calibre team. "Thats the nature of the position," he said. "Everythings going to be thrown on your shoulders as a quarterback. I accept it, I respect it. Thats a responsibility that you take on, when you get up under the centre. Like I say, Im built to play the position and deal with everything that comes along with it, and Ill never shy away from it. Ill continue to do what Ive done on the field: thats always stay aggressive. And Ill always accept the task." Authentic Drew Brees Jersey .

As a follow-up, TSN.ca offers you the opportunity to chime in on all the big issues with our insiders. Read up on all the questions and answers from TSNs hockey experts, and put in your own two cents on our popular Your! Call feature. Question 1: Should goalies that leave the crease be fair game? Darren Dreger: Yes, stay in the net! In Wednesdays Canadiens-Blues game, Carey Price was disturbed by the play in front of him so he tried to do it himself and Blues Cam Janssen had no other option but to run into Price. Keith Jones: Its an absolute yes for me; its one of the most exciting plays in the game of hockey. If the goaltender leaves the crease, he should be able to be run over. Mike Keenan: The answer is no. I love my goaltenders, I have to protect my goalie and theyre not fair game. Question 2: Should Patrice Cormier be charged by police for his vicious elbow on Quebecs Mikael Tam? Keith Jones: Its a no for me. Its within the playing field - obviously on ht ice in this case, but the league should take care of it themselves. Mike Keenan: Agreed, the league should take care of it themselves. Theres enough discipline within the commissioners jurisdiction to look after things and not have the police come into this affair. He did not club the player. Darren Dreger: I say yes! Wheres the hockey play here? Mikael Tam was injured and its fortunate that he wasnt injured seriously but keep in mind here that theres precedent; precedent witthin the QMJHL with Jonathon Roy being charged with assault, precedent in the NHL with both Marty McSorley and Todd Bertuzzi. Vernon Davis Youth Jersey. Question 3: Should officials have the power to whistle plays dead when they interfere with the players ability to defend? Mike Keenan: They should be able to blow the play dead because it could be a Stanley Cup final decision and he has to have the authority to blow the play. Keith Jones: Im in absolute agreement with Mike. Its a rare occurrence but the ref should have the right to blow it dead. Darren Dreger: The answer is no! Do we not argue for human error when its a potential offside or icing? In a split second, stuff happens. Question 4: Will we see lacrosse-type goals in the NHL this year, next year, or ever? Keith Jones: Its going to be this year and its going to be John Tavares of the New York Islanders once they drop out of playoff contention, in about three weeks. Hell do it in honour of his uncle, John Tavares who is one of the best indoor lacrosse players to ever play the game. What a great tribute that would be from the fine rookie. Darren Dreger: Never, and the reason why is because the only people you see do it are American hockey leaguers or juniors. And more often than not, they do it in the All-Star festivities. Theyre not going to disrespect goaltenders of the National Hockey League by doing it. Mike Keenan: Yes its going to happen and its going to happen this year. As Mr. Jones said; the players mimic each other. They see American Hockey League players doing it and they dont want to be outshone. ' ' '

Jordy Nelson JerseyBoston, MA (Sports Network) - Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo reportedly said he would not be surprised if he was on the 2003 list of 104 positive steroid tests, adding to a report Thursday that said that David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez both tested positive. Vernon Davis Youth Jersey . According to a report in the Boston Herald, Arroyo said that he took androstenedione, which was taken by former slugger Mark McGwire during his 70- homer season in 1998. He added that the nutrient may have been laced with steroids, such as Winstrol, which would cause a positive test. Andro, as it is more commonly called, was banned in the 2004 season. Arroyo also reportedly admitted to using amphetamines, which were banned in 2006. Arroyo added that when he stopped taking andro and amphetamines, he experienced no dropoff in performance, only a change in his ability to recover between starts. Arroyo pitched with the Red Sox from 2003-05, and Ortiz and Ramirez, both members of the team during those years, were both reportedly on that famed 2003 list of steroid users. This past May, Ramirez was suspended for 50 games under baseballs drug policy for a positive test. Ortiz has said that he would get more information about his reported positive test. All three players helped lead Boston to a World Series victory in 2004, and Ortiz and Ramirez won another title with the Red Sox in 2007. Testing was conducted in 2003 as part of a joint agreement between Major League Baseball and the Players Association to determine whether it was necessary to institute mandatory random drug testing for the 2004 season. No penalties were levied for tests that came back positive in 2003. Those results, however, were supposed to remain anonymous. "The List," as it has come to be known, was never destroyed, and federal agents eventually seized it in their investigation of the distribution of performance-enhancing substances. The union and the government have been in litigation over the list. After more than five percent of MLBs 1,198 players surveyed in 2003 tested positive, a mandatory random-testing program was instituted and penalties were enforced, beginning the following year.   Charles Woodson Youth Jersey .

In 7 1/3 innings, Westbrook (4-3) allowed just two runs on seven hits and two walks while fanning five to lead Cleveland to its third straight win. Travis Hafner went 2-for-3 with a double and solo home run for the Indians, whose manager, Manny Acta, was fired by the Nationals in midseason last year. Adam Dunn and Ivan Rodriguez each had two hits and an RBI, while Luis Atilano (5-3) was credited with the loss for allowing six runs -- three earned -- on seven hits and two walks in five-plus innings for Washington, which was coming off a three-game sweep of the Pirates. Washington jumped in front in the first when Dunn followed Rodriguezs one-out double with a two-bagger of his own. Atilano appeared to get out of the bottom half with just one hit allowed, but Adam Kennedy booted Russell Branyans routine ground ball to keep the inning going. Kearns then worked a full count and hammered a hanging curveball over the left-field wall for his sixth round-tripper of the season. "I was trying to make a pitch and get the out," Atilano said of the home run offering. Kearns added another homer to roughly the same spot leadinng off the fourth, and Hafner hit a solo shot to start a three-run inning sixth. Hakeem Nicks Womens Jersey.

Sue Ogrocki Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Kevin Durants work was done early. After three quarters. Not three overtimes. Instead of hunting down key shots, he was tracking down a T-shirt from the stands and reveling in the Oklahoma City Thunders 99-72 blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night that gave them their first series lead in the Western Conference semifinals. The Thunder lead 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Friday night in Memphis. They got there with ease considering what happened in a triple-overtime thriller two nights earlier. There was no fatigue factor for us ... I thought our guys came in with focus, Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. You beat good teams by really executing very well and with good effort, and we did both of them tonight. After squandering a 16-point lead in the second half and losing Game 3 in overtime, the Thunder blew a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter before winning Game 4 in three overtimes on Monday night. This time, it was all over well before the final buzzer. Going through that kind of molds our character, I think, and brings us closer together, Durant said. Losing Game 3 the way we did and winning Game 4 the way we did, it kind of showed what type of team we are, what type of courage and heart we have. Marc Gasol had 16 points to lead Memphis, which didnt have much left after such a draining loss on its home court. The Grizzlies shot a season-worst 36 percent, matched their lowest point total from the regular season and never put up much of a fight in the second half. Shots werent falling for us but you still have to come with great effort and we didnt bring it at all, guard Mike Conley said. They outplayed us in every area of the game. I wish I could tell you why. It just wasnt there. They hit us and kept hitting us and we didnt fight back. They were far enough behind that Durant and fellow all-star Russell Westbrook didnt even have to play in the fourth quarter. By the end, Durant was wearing one of the same white Thunder T-shirts as the sellout crowd and was standing on the sidelines directing the lineup of reserves that got to play in garbage time.

We just wanted to just go out an get a W, said Jordan. It was just another game to us. Vernon Macklin had a game-high 20 points with eight rebounds for the Gators (5-2), who had their four-game winning streak snapped while shooting only 42 percent from the field. Erving Walker netted 16 points and Kenny Boynton had 10. Jordan was a big part of the win including two made free throws with 24 seconds left on the clock to put the Knights up 55-52. He also had three rebounds, three assists and a steal in the contest. Walker made a layup with four seconds remaining to draw Florida within three, but not before Clanton was able to seal the game at the charity stripe for the Knights during the previous possession. UCF led by as many as eight in the second half when it went on a 10-2 run finished by a Clanton three-point play four minutes in. But the Gators surged back when Macklin scored six straight points to end a 10-0 run for a 46-44 lead with 9:11 left to play. The two teams were close the rest of the way, but the Knights took the lead for good, 49-48, on a Jordan free throw with six minutes left.

But Miller waited to see if Michael Bishop could get something going and the new Riders pivot didnt disappoint. Bishop threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Weston Dressler at 4:28 - the rookies second of the game - and then sailed a 32-yard TD pass to Vincent Marshall at 10:10. Kicker Luca Congi then booted a 17-yard field goal to tie the game 31-31 with 1:11 left on the clock. Bishop returned to the field and marched his team, firing a 45-yard pass to Gerran Walker that set up Congis winning 29-yarder and a 34-31 Roughriders victory over Winnipeg in front of a capacity crowd of 29,770 at Canad Inns Stadium. "Im very happy with Michael," Miller said of Bishop, who was acquired in a trade with Toronto Aug. 23. "When we went into the fourth quarter, I really went through a period where if he had gone another series or so and not been productive, I was thinking about possibly making a change." "And then we started moving the ball like gangbusters and then he made the plays that really helped us win the ball game." The victory gave the defending Grey Cup champion Riders an 8-2 record. Winnipeg drops to 2-8. Bishop, who led the Riders to a 19-6 victory over Winnipeg last week in his first game with Saskatchewan, completed 24 of 30 passes for 370 yards. "In a situation like that, you want to have a chance to win at the end," Bishop said. "There was no doubt in my mind that we had a chance to win. Our defence played hard for us and got the ball back." Saskatchewan running back Wes Cates also scored on a three-yard TD run and finished with 14 carries for 92 yards. Dressler led all receivers with six catches for 119 yarrds. Eli Manning Jersey. Bombers slotback Milt Stegall had three catches for 51 yards, leaving him 16 yards behind Allen Pitts CFL career receiving yardage record of 14,891.

Smith, acquired in a trade last week from B.C. in exchange for Winnipeg all-time leading rusher Charles Roberts, was cheered by the crowd from his first run and had 11 carries for 33 yards. Reid rushed 11 times for 51 yards. "We didnt have a killer instinct as far as playing hard," said Glenn, who was 21-of-29 for 256 yards. Glenn was hit in the head during the games last drive, but said he was OK, at least physically. "These (games) are tough ones," Glenn said. "You really get blown out when you go through one of these. "I dont know, we just better move on and play Toronto next week. We cant dwell on this game. Learn from it and move on." Winnipeg linebacker Ike Charlton was as shell-shocked as his teammates in a quiet Bombers dressing room. "The whole second half, defensively we didnt finish," Charlton said. "The offence did what they needed to do, they put points on the board. Hats off to Saskatchewan for one thing, but we gave it to them." Staring at a 2-8 record is a reality that is tough to swallow, he said. "Were in a big hole, but who knows what can happen," Charlton said. "Mentally, weve got to find a way to claw out of it." Both teams were hit by injuries. Saskatchewan defensive end John Chick, who just got back from injury, left the game with a broken ring finger. Winnipeg linebacker Joe Lobendahn, who replaced an injured Barrin Simpson early in the season, was helped off the field with a knee injury. ' ' '

Jordy Nelson JerseyReigning snowboard cross Olympic gold medallist Seth Wescott is defending his title with renewed vigour after a descent in standings following the 2006 Games awakened his drive to reclaim the top spot. Authentic Patrick Willis Jersey . The 33-year-old Maine-native will next month begin his final push towards a second Olympic gold when he hits snow for the first time in Argentina to compete in the seasons first World Cup event. "Ive typically been someone who needs some sort of emotional inspiration to pull out my best athletic performances," Wescott said in a recent interview with CTVOlympics.ca "So, the Olympics is kind of a conduit for that. It allows you to have all this other stuff attached to it that gives you a sense of motivation and energy." Wescotts Olympic victory augmented both his profile and that of snowboard cross attracting increased corporate sponsorship and requisite media appearances. Wescott was in Toronto on Saturday to judge Nesteas Chill on the Hill event where hundreds of snowboarders, many of them half his age, rushed the hill to turn tricks in a snowy terrain park set up on grass. Wescott greeted fans and signed autographs - reveling in the responsibilities that can go along with being an elite athlete. With the Olympics finally within reach, Wescott says he is as driven as ever to mortar his legacy in the sport he has loved since childhood. "Whatever legacy I have in snowboarding, I need to cement that. Ive done it in certain ways, but theres a lot more that I want to do." Wescott was well-known in snowboarding before its debut at the 2006 Turin Winter Games and - like many of the Canadians he will compete against beginning in Argentina - he has been riding since snowboarders were barred from ski resorts. Wescott, alongside Canadian Drew Neilson, was a top competitor on the original World Tour circuit before it was folded into the FIS circuit. In 2005, he secured the World Championship title despite serious injury one week before the race. "That was a moment of realizing a dream for me because when I started snowboarding I never thought we would have gained Olympic acceptance in the timeframe that we did," he said. "To have persevered through that [injury] was undoubtedly one of the biggest things of my career." In Turin, Wescott beat out Slovakian rider Radoslav Zidek by half a board length. Frances Paul-Henri DeLeRue claimed the bronze medal. By the beginning of 2008-09 World Cup season, however, Wescotts motivation had waned. He needed a big push to return to the top. "A lot of [the turn around] was my coaches just kicking me in the ass. We went down to Argentina and we had a long discussion the day we got there with our assistant coach, Jeff Archibald. He said, Its really disappointing to watch you over these last few years,"Wescott said. "It was fun to flip that mental switch and to decide that I was going to do it." Wescott finished the season having moved from 28th to 2nd place behind Austrias Markus Schairer, without ever finishing a time trial out of the top 10. "[Archibald] drove home the point that I needed to be doing it for myself. I think Ive slowly been coming around to that." With an intense dryland training regimen - much of which is captured on his blog - about to conclude, Wescott says he wants in February to concentrate on enjoying individual moments within the Games. "When you can strip yourself down to being 100% in the moment - thats an experience Ive gotten to have a lot of times in life and in competition - in the moments Ive been able to do that - thats when Ive had the most success. "It happened for me [at the 2006 Olympics,] it happened for me more so in the World Championships in 05 and there are other times when its happened. "The process of getting yourself into something where youre wholly focused just in the moment - on what youre doing - thats a really hard thing to find in life." Ahmad Bradshaw Youth Jersey .

But things certainly seem to be clicking for the Heat at last following a recent funk. Dwyane Wade had 34 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, James added 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Miami won its season-best seventh straight game with a 106-84 victory over the cold-shooting Golden State Warriors on Friday night. Miami also established a franchise best with seven consecutive wins by double digits, topping the six in a row in February 1999. "Me and D-Wade have figured it out," James said. "We just started going back to our games, what made us who we are in this league. Its resulted in us playing good basketball, offensively and defensively." The Heat, who lost three of four from Nov. 20-27, moved into first place in the Southeast Division for the first time all season after the Orlando Magic lost their season-high fourth straight at Utah. Monta Ellis had 20 points and seven assists and Dorell Wright, who spent his first six seasons with Miami before joining the Warriors this year, added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in Golden States season-worst sixth straight loss. Chris Bosh added 16 points and seven rebounds in the Heats fifth consecutive win over Golden State, mired in a 1-11 stretch. The Warriors dropped their fifth straight at Oracle Arena after beginning the season 5-0 at home. They havent won on their own floor since Nov. 15 against Detroit. "Im not worried, because I think they are playing hard," first-year Golden State coach Keith Smart said. "I would be worried if this team didnt want to work anymore, if they didnt look like they were competing on the floor, then you would have some flags." Golden State played without do-everything guard Stephen Curry, who could be sidelined for an extended period with a sprained right ankle that he re-aggravated in a 111-94 loss Wednesday at San Antonio. He will be re-evaluated in a couple of days once the swelling goes down. James, booed regularly by the standing-room-only sellout crowd of 20,036, shot 10-for-18 and scored 15 of his points in the third quarter before sitting out the fourth. He took only 10 shots in the first half for 10 points, but dished out six assists. Wade, averaging 34 points in his last six games against the Warriors, was 12-for-20 and converted 10 of 13 free throws to help extend the teams longest winning streak since running off nine in a row from March 20-April 7 last season. Charles Woodson Jersey. The Heat earned a fourth straight road win two days after a decisive 111-98 victory at Northwest Division-leading Utah. They wrap up this trip Saturday night at Sacramento. "Its good but it doesnt mean anything. Its still early in the season," Wade said. "Right now whats good is that weve won seven straight playing good basketball. We have a tough game tomorrow, probably the toughest game on this road trip because its the last one and its on a back-to-back. We cant have any letdowns." Wade took an elbow to the head from Andris Biedrins 52 seconds into the game while defending Ellis on his first points of the night. Wade was down for about a minute before coming to the bench to be examined. He returned at the 8:14 mark. Miami won for the sixth time in seven games at Oakland but didnt look great in the first half, leading just 48-45 at the break. But the Heat opened the third quarter with an 18-3 run to take control. "They were just getting the ball off the rim and getting fast-break points," Wright said. Reggie Williams and David Lee each scored 13 points for Golden State, which shot 37.3 per cent and went 8-for-24 from three-point range. The Warriors hadnt dropped five in a row at home since a six-game skid from March 1-24, 2002. Golden States most recent six-game slide occurred from March 2-11, and started with a 110-106 loss at Miami as Wade scored 35 points in the most recent matchup. NOTES: Warriors top draft pick Ekpe Udoh made his season debut after missing five months following surgery on his injured left wrist. ... Wright has double-doubles in four of his last five games. ... The Heat are 4-4 vs. the Western Conference, now 2-3 on the road. ... Wade was averaging 2.33 steals during the winning streak but didnt get one Friday. ...

. -- Skate Canada revealed its final six Olympians following the conclusion of the 2010 Canadian Figure Skating Championships in London, Ont. Jordy Nelson JerseyLONDON - After eight days of nearly uninterrupted tennis, rain disrupted the mens quarter-finals at Wimbledon on Wednesday and slowed five-time champion Roger Federers bid to extend his grass-court winning streak to 64 matches. Authentic Calvin Johnson Jersey . After the start of play was held up by nearly an hour, Federer raced to a 6-1, 1-1 lead over Croatias Mario Ancic before the rain came again and the covers were rolled back onto Centre Court. On Court 1, Spains Feliciano Lopez was leading Russias Marat Safin 5-2 when play was suspended. The matches resumed after a delay of about two hours 10 minutes. Federer walked onto Centre Court in his custom-made cardigan just after 1:45 p.m. and glanced up at the threatening skies. It looked like he wanted to get things over as quickly as possible against Ancic, the last man to beat him at Wimbledon - in the first round in 2002. Federer charged through the first set in 20 minutes - winning 12 of the first 14 points, hitting six aces and winning 16 of his 17 service points. This was Federer at his vintage best, gliding across the court and ripping shots that flew past Ancic or forced him into errors. The two held serve to open the second set before the rain came again. Since losing to Ancic six years ago, the Swiss star has won 63 consecutive matches on grass and 38 in a row at the All England Club. Hes also won five straight against Ancic. Other than a rain delay of nearly two hours at the start of play last Friday, Wimbledon had basked in remarkably good weather until now. Rafael Nadal of Spain, bidding to become the first man to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year since Bjorn Borg in 1980, was due to play Andy Murray in the second quarter-final on Centre Court. The 12th-seeded Murray, playing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final, is trying to become the first British man to win the title in 72 years. The winner of that match will advance to the semifinals against No. 94-ranked Rainer Schuettler of Germany or No. 145-ranked Arnaud Clement of France. The 32-year-old Schuettler will be playing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final in five years, and Clement last reached the final eight at a major in 2001. Two-time major champion Safin was playing in his first Grand Slam quarter-final since winning the Australian Open in 2005. The womens tournament, meanwhile, seems headed toward the first all-Williams final in five years. Americans Venus and Serena Williams, who between them have won six of the last eight Wimbledon titles, are one round away from a third Wimbledon title matchup and seventh Grand Slam championship showdown. Neither has dropped a set so far, and their power games have set them apart from the rest of the womens field. Next up for two-time champion Serena in Thursdays semifinals is Zheng Jie, who became the first Chinese player to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam by beating Nicole Vaidisova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. The 133rd-ranked Zheng is also the first wild-card entrant to reach the womens semis at Wimbledon and second at any Grand Slam. Defending champion and four-time winner Venus will next face No. 5 Elena Dementieva, who wasted a 5-1 lead and two match points in the second set before beating fellow Russian Nadia Petrova 6-1, 6-7 (6), 6-3 to reach her first Wimbledon semifinal. Dont tell Serena that Venus is the one to beat at Wimbledon. ``I would never sit here and say shes the favourite when Im still in the draw, she said, bristling at the suggestion. ``Thats not me.

The Rangers started the home-and-home series at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday with a first period in which they fell behind 1-0 and were outshot 10-3. They barely avoided a shutout by scoring in the final minute. The 2-1 loss dropped the Rangers to 0-3-2 in their last five and 1-6-2 in the past nine. The guys that are out has to do with their play, Tortorella said. Its never over one game, but it has to do with their play. The Rangers didnt come out any better Thursday in the shot department, but they grabbed a 1-0 in the first period despite being outshot 12-2 at the time of Ryan Callahans goal at 13:06. Their lead doubled with 2:04 left in the frame when captain Chris Drury scored on the Rangers fourth shot - compared to 14 by the Islanders. Drury had been dropped down to the fourth line to start the game. Henrik Lundqvist was sharp early as the Islanders fired away, recording four shots on a power play. New York was held to two goals or fewer Wednesday for the seventh straight game and for the 17th time in 21 contests. The Rangers have 15 goals in their last nine games. Lance Moore Jersey. There has to be something done, and well see along the way before (Thursday) nights game, Tortorella said Wednesday during his expletive-laced postgame comments. Well see where we go with them. Its just simply unacceptable how we started that game. I wish I could give you an explanation about it. I cant. Erik Christensen, recently claimed off waivers from Anaheim, played his fifth game with the Rangers in place of Kotalik. Rookie Bobby Sanguinetti got into his fourth career NHL game, taking Reddens spot. Redden, in the second season of a six-year deal with the Rangers, responded angrily to being scratched and got into an argument with Tortorella before the morning skate Thursday. Im not going to go into details about what was said, Redden said. Obviously, I wasnt happy coming in and seeing my name on the scratch list. He wants to shake things up, and obviously Im an example here. Kotalik, in his ninth NHL season and first with the Rangers, also was miffed to be sitting out. He fumbled the puck at the blue line during a power play Wednesday that led to a breakaway by Islanders forward Frans Nielsen. It was the first time this season that Redden and Kotalik missed a game while healthy. Its always surprising when you are not a guy just starting in this league, Kotalik said. Its frustrating. ' ' '
