VANCOUVER - The Calgary Stampeders are entering their first-round playoff bye on the right terms. Austin Seibert Youth Jersey .The B.C. Lions, however, are not.Eric Rogers caught two touchdown passes as the Stampeders downed the B.C. Lions 33-16 on Friday night in the CFL regular-season finale for both teams.The Stampeders, who had already clinched first place in the West Division, finished the regular season with a 15-3 record and tied the leagues 54-year-old road victory total with eight, set and matched by Winnipeg in 1960 and 1961. Calgary bettered its club road-win record of seven set 65 years ago in 1949 and matched in 1995.But, more importantly, the Stampeders gained considerable confidence as they seek to avoid a repeat of a loss in the Western final. Calgary will host this years West final against either the Edmonton Eskimos or the yet-to-be-decided club that places third in the West.Last year, coming out of this (final regular-season) game (also against B.C.), we had lost the game and we had lost a lot of important guys to our team — this year its a completely different story, said Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell.The Lions, who finished the season 9-9, missed a chance to clinch third in the West and could now face a cross-over playoff game against an Eastern team, depending on how Saskatchewan fares against Edmonton on Saturday.Thats not the way we wanted to the end the season at home in front of our home fans, said B.C. defensive back Ryan Phillips. We didnt play at a high level.Although both the Lions and Stamps had secured playoff berths and rested key players, the game featured dazzling touchdowns as both clubs scored on long passes. Emannuel Arceneaux scored B.C.s lone touchdown on a 46-yard reception in the second quarter.But Rogers TD catches of 21 and 44 yards, which both came in the second quarter, proved to be the most painful.I was lined up out wide and I read the seam, the line gave the quarterback some time to throw, the quarterback put it on the money and I go up there and high-point it - thats both touchdowns, basically, said Rogers.B.C. was missing key regulars on defence to rest and injury, including middle linebacker Adam Bighill (hand), but Phillips said Rogers TDs and other long gains through the air were still inexcusable.For me, its alarming due to the fact that weve been pretty good at (preventing long gains through the air) through the course of the year, he said.In a rare start, Calgary quarterback Drew Tate completed 14 of 20 passes for 206 yards and one touchdown with one interception.(Tate) did a great job of starting it off, said Mitchell, who completed 13 of 18 for one touchdown.. He came out there and we got to see what they were doing. They were playing a lot of (man-to-man coverage). … It was a good job by the passing game and it shows a different dynamic of what we can do as an offence.The Stampeders did not miss CFL rushing leader Jon Cornish, who missed the game due to a concussion and appears questionable for the playoffs.B.C. quarterback Kevin Glenn completed 26 of 36 of for 312 yards and one touchdown, but was hurt by two interceptions. Contrary to plans, he played the whole game after backup John Beck was left dizzy and suffered a headache on a two-yard surge in the third quarter. But Beck said afterwards he will be ready for the playoffs.Tate led the Stampeders to a 13-yard Rene Paredes field goal on their first series. But the Lions produced an identical opening eight-play march of their own, which went 66 yards and culminated with McCallums 18-yard field goal.But Tates 21-yard touchdown pass to Rogers staked Calgary to an advantage that they never relinquished. After Dante Marsh intercepted a Tate pass, Mitchell entered the game on Calgarys next series and took the Stamps to the B.C. one before third-string QB Bryant Moniz scored on a plunge that gave Calgary an insurmountable 17-6 lead and Rogers second TD, on a pass from Mitchell, that extended Calgarys lead to 24-13 at half-time.Notes: A moment of silence was held before the game for late Stampeders player and owner John Forzani, who died of a heart attack last week at the age of 67. … Calgary receiver Marquay McDaniel returned after missing six games with a broken wrist. … Calgarys Shawn Lemon tied a CFL single-season record of eight forced fumbles as he sacked Glenn in the second quarter. … Military veterans received a standing ovation during a rousing half-time salute. Chad Thomas Browns Jersey . -- Steven Stamkos scored his first goal since returning from a major injury, Ryan Callahan had his first goal with Tampa Bay, and the Lightning beat the Florida Panthers 5-4 on Thursday night. Austin Seibert Womens Jersey . Sweeting scored two in the first and three in the second before Strong (4-4) got two back in the fourth. Sweeting then scored three in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh to grab a commanding 9-2 lead. http://www.brownsauthenticproshop.com/Youth-Myles-Garrett-Jersey/ .com) - Mike Miller scored a season-high 21 points in a rare start and the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from their worst loss of the season with a 95-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets.LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The pot wasnt real. Neither, admitted Floyd Mayweather Jr., was much else that went on in the cable television shows promoting his latest fight.Not the joint rolling parties with a bevy of female friends in his Las Vegas mansion. Not the 31 minute fights without a break in the Dog House of his gym just off the citys glittering Strip.Not even the betting that went on between Mayweather and others over who was going to win.I dont want to just sell a fight, Mayweather said. I want to sell a lifestyle.Called before Nevada boxing regulators Tuesday to explain what went on in the Showtime All Access shows aired earlier this month before his rematch with Marcos Maidana, Mayweather said it was all just made-up entertainment to sell the fight.It worked, he said, bringing in enough of an audience for him to sell more pay-per-views for a fight in which he was guaranteed a $32 million payday.It wasnt real marijuana, Mayweather said. Its all about entertainment.Mayweather, who earlier this year was licensed as a promoter in Nevada, was summoned by Nevada State Athletic Commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar to explain scenes in the All Access show that ran a few days before the fight. Mayweather is listed as the executive producer of the show, which bills itself as a reality series filming boxers before their bout.Turns out it wasnt so real after all.Its a new generation, a young generation, Mayweather said. We believe in going outside boxing and doing something different. Because we did something different we got better pay-per-views this time around.Showtime does not release pay-per-view buys but various reports say the rematch with Maidana did slightly better than the first fight, which did not reach 1 million buys. Mayweathers fight last year with Canelo Alvarez was boxinngs richest, drawing some 2. Chad Thomas Womens Jersey. 2 million buys.Mayweather appeared before the commission with longtime adviser Leonard Ellerbe and one of his attorneys. Notably missing were his normally large entourage and the very large bodyguards who usually trail him everywhere.Aguilar and the other commissioners were most interested in two fights shown on All Access. which was presented as going on for more than a half hour without break, ending only when the beaten boxers quit. On the show, Mayweather is shown arranging the bouts and cheering the fighters.The dog house — the rules are you fight till whoever quits, Mayweather said on the show.Appearing before the commission, though, Mayweather said the fighters got three to four long rest breaks during the sparring sessions.We do take breaks when we spar. I make sure, Mayweather said. Im not going to let anyone get hurt because safety is very important to boxing.Attorney Shane Emerick said scenes showing cash exchanging hands in bets on the fight also didnt happen, and Mayweather knows gambling in the gym is illegal. He also said Mayweather doesnt smoke marijuana or drink alcohol, and wouldnt be around secondhand marijuana smoke because it could show up in drug tests for the fight.Mayweather is shown in All Access at his mansion while joints are being rolled and smoked. At one point he tells an assistant to go get some more rolling papers.Commissioners said they were happy with Mayweather appearing before them, and satisfied with his explanations.You accomplished your goal, Aguilar said. I think you represented yourself well.Asked as he was getting on an elevator to leave why anyone would want to watch the show if they knew it was all staged, Mayweather smiled and said: You know I love you guys. Keep up the good work. ' ' '
