With Labour Day approaching, we are quickly nearing the halfway point of the 2013 season. Jayson Stanley Jersey . Tony DArchi, one of our producers on the CFL on TSN Panel Show put together a segment Saturday Night that saw the panel hand out Mid-Season Awards. That segment, coupled with the turmoil, adversity and/or disarray we have seen in Montreal, Winnipeg and Edmonton this year got me thinking more about a subject I have been kicking around for a while now. Its a simple one: are you a player?? Players are the guys that, day in and day out, squeeze every ounce of ability out of themselves. Players learn from and correct their mistakes. Players are first in and last out! Players dont punch a clock, they turn it back, praying for more time in the day so they can gain that edge on their opponent and get better that day! Players are not part of the problem; they are part of the solution. Players play to their strengths and work diligently on their weaknesses. Players do the right thing, which often times, is not always the easy thing! Players cover all the details and never go into a game ill prepared. Players dont cave and change when faced with adversity. They rise and shine in adverse conditions and they are typically at their best in these times. Players are not front runners that draw attention to themselves in good times, they deflect praise and attention to their teammates, because they know they arent alone out there and that football is the ultimate team game. Players are the ones that are leading the next day after a tough loss when others cant seem to find it within themselves to muster up the energy to do so. Players ask questions, always looking to improve. Players are good listeners, which in turn helps them to be quick learners. Players are accountable for their actions and dont point fingers and lay blame. Players consistently make good choices. Players are positive and therefore are people you absolutely, positively want to be around! Players are confident, not cocky in their abilities. Why? Because they have put in the work and have left nothing to chance. Players have thick skin and dont let doubt in. Players expect success, embrace success, act like theyve seen it before and will again. Players are relentless; they fall, get back up, and try again. Players persevere through injury and come back stronger! Players make plays that are difference makers and game changers. Players make the routine play look easy and make the tough play look routine. Players are giving, unselfish, and look to pay it forward. Players are not perfect but constantly push for perfection. Players play the game of football, not the game of being a football player. Players earn respect by being about it, not talking about it. Those are the characteristics that make up quality football players. Combine all those traits on a regular basis and you will create character and develop a positive attitude conducive for winning. When teams are struggling you will often hear players say, "We all have to look ourselves in the mirror and see if we are doing everything we can to be successful." Having been there before myself, and understanding the mental hardships that go into overcoming adversity – no matter the situation – going back to the basics is always important. Eliminating all distractions from the equation, both mentally and physically, is essential. Its much like an offensive or defensive coordinator that deals with a struggling attack by eliminating and pairing down their respective playbooks and getting back to basic fundamentals. This cleans the slate, so to speak, and allows players to think less and play faster, both mentally and physically. So when a team is looking to turn things around, searching for that right formula that seems ever so elusive, the best way I know how is to check your "Hole Card." Are you, to a man, handling your business? Are you practicing and executing the aspects of being a PLAYER? You would be surprised at how many people on a given team are not: players who are being selfish, not truthful to themselves, and are not committing 100% to a winning attitude and environment. Tuesday I played in the 2013 Canadian Football Hall of Fame Golf Tournament and I can guarantee that every fellow Hall of Famer there understood exactly what it takes to be a PLAYER! Steven Means Jersey .Just like old times.Only this time, just one got to enjoy a victory.James return to Miami as an opponent was a success — for the Heat, that is. Wade scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half, Luol Deng had 25 points and dogged James defensively all night, and the Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-91 in a hyped Christmas matchup Thursday. Ryan Neal Jersey . Patrick Sharp scored twice and Patrick Kane, Bryan Bickell and Nick Leddy also connected to lead Chicago to a 5-2 win over the Devils on Monday night. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Angel Cabrera no longer has to fret about that streak of disappointments in non-major events on the PGA Tour. The 44-year-old Argentine won the Greenbrier Classic on Sunday for his first victory in a tournament other than a major, closing with his second straight 6-under 64 for a two-stroke victory over a heavy-hearted George McNeill. Cabrera, whose only other PGA Tour victories came in the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters, built a three-shot lead before making things interesting with a pair of late bogeys. He finished at 16-under 264 and now has another green jacket -- that as Greenbrier Classic champion. Cabrera had no top 10-finishes this season entering the tournament but had everything working Sunday, hammering drives and approach shots with precision and coming up with clutch putts, especially on the back nine. "This was a great opportunity," Cabrera said through an interpreter. "I wanted it. I needed to win a tournament. I felt under control today out there, and I didnt want to let it get away from me." McNeill shot a season-best 61 for his fourth top-10 of the season and first since mid-March. But hell put golf on hold for a few weeks. Golf Channel reported that his older sister, Michele McNeill, died of cancer Sunday morning and the player was informed after his round was over. "Golf doesnt really mean a whole lot," McNeill told reporters. So its hard." Webb Simpson had a 63 to finish third at 10 under. Third-round leader Billy Hurley III bogeyed four of the first six holes to fall out of contention. He shot 73 and finished in a seven-way tie for fourth at 9 under. No third-round leader has hung on to win the Greenbrier Classic in its five-year existence. McNeill was the clubhouse leader at 14 under well ahead of Cabrera, who still had the back nine to play. Cabrera overtook McNeill with birdie putts of 17 and 7 feet on the 11th and 12th holes, then gave a fist pump after moving to 17 under by holing a 176-yard 8-iron up the hill for eagle on the par-4 13th, the hardest hole at Old White TPC. Michael Bennett Jersey. By then his lead was three strokes, but he bogeyed the 14th after his approach shot spun off the front of the green and bogeyed the par-3 15th after hitting into the rough on his tee shot. Cabrera smashed a 330-yard drive over the lake on the par-4 16th and made par, then drilled a 336-yard drive on the 616-yard 17th and two-putted for birdie. He closed out with par on the par-3 18th. "The big thing was the drive today," he said. "It was good all week long. It made the course play a little shorter for myself." Cabrera won $1.17 million and is projected to improve from 158th to 54th in the FedEx Cup standings. McNeill would move from 60th to 29th. Simpson had flown home on Friday and learned upon landing that he made the cut. So he rented a car and drove back to West Virginia. Simpson and Keagan Bradley both had strong finishes as they continue to try to impress U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson, who will make three at-large selections for the Sept. 26-28 event at Gleneagles in Scotland. The top nine in the Ryder Cup standings automatically qualify for the team. Simpson is 17th and Bradley is 18th. "I think Tom knows whats going on, and Im hoping my good play will take care of it and not have to be a captains pick," Simpson said. "But if I was a captains pick, it would be great to be on that team." Joining Hurley at 9 under were Bud Cauley (64), Bradley (66), Brendon Todd (66), Chris Stroud (69), Cameron Tringale (69) and Will Wilcox (69). The leading four players among the top 12 not already exempt for the British Open earned spots in the July 17-20 tournament at Royal Liverpool. Those spots went to McNeill, Stroud, Tringale and Hurley. Cauleys final shot of the day was a hole-in-one on the 18th, which triggered a $100 prize from the tournament to paying customers in the stands. But Cauley missed out this week on a British Open nod, whose qualifying tiebreaker uses the world ranking. Cauley entered the week at No. 295. Another spot will be handed out next weekend at the John Deere Classic. Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
