The Saskatchewan Roughriders will attempt to become the third consecutive Canadian Football League team to capture a championship on their home field when they face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at the 101st Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. TSNs pre-game coverage is underway live NOW, with kickoff at 6pm et/3pm pt. You can also follow TSNs digital platforms throughout the game with in-game highlights and TSN.cas GameTracker. To follow in the footsteps of the 99th Grey Cup Champion B.C. Lions and 100th Grey Cup Champion Toronto Argonauts, the Roughriders are going to have to beat a team that took an almost identical route to the title game as them in the Tiger-Cats. Both teams finished second in their respective division and after earning home semi-final victories, were forced to go on the road as underdogs to book their places in the final. In the West title game, the Roughriders knocked off the Calgary Stampeders 35-13, leading from the mid-point of the opening quarter right to the final whistle. After opening the regular season by winning eight of their first nine games, the Roughriders struggled through the second half of the campaign before getting things back on track heading into the playoffs. The Tiger-Cats, meanwhile, overturned a halftime deficit in the East Final to knock off the defending champion Argonauts and get to the Grey Cup. The Ticats also overcame a 1-4 start to the season before everything came together late in the season, especially on the defensive side of the ball, and they stayed hot through the playoffs. The Roughriders offence will be led by eight-year CFL veteran quarterback Darian Durant, who threw a career-high 31 touchdown passes as well as topping the 4,000 yard mark for the third time in his career. He also set a new personal benchmark with a 95.7 passer rating. This will be Durants third crack at leading the Roughriders to the Grey Cup, as he was behind centre during both the 2009 and 2010 losses to the Montreal Alouettes. He will have one of the CFLs most dynamic backs by his side in Kory Sheets, who finished the year with 1,598 yards - good enough for second overall. Sheets, in his second season in the league, contributed 12 touchdowns for the Roughriders. Speaking of veteran leadership, Henry Burris will be the pivot for the Tiger-Cats and he brings with him 15 years of CFL experience and the pedigree of leading the Stampeders to a championship in 2008. He also led the league this season with 4,925 passing yards as he continues to shine at the QB position. C.J. Gable will also be counted on to make an impact from the RB position for the Ticats, as the rookie finished fourth in rushing with 782 yards this season. One of the major storylines of this game will be Tiger-Cats head coach Kent Austin, who is a Roughriders legend; having led the team to championships as a quarterback in 1989 and as a head coach in 2007. Though he will be coaching against what will be a very partisan crowd against his team, a banner with his picture still hangs outside of Mosaic Stadium. Six players and one coach enter the game with the chance to win back-to-back titles. Ricky Foley, Tristan Black and Ejiro Kuale of the Roughriders or Evan McCullough, Brandon Isaac, Joel Reinders, and defensive coordinator Orlondo Steinauer of the Tiger-Cats will be finishing the season with the big prize for the second year in a row. The Roughriders have not captured the Grey Cup since Austin coached them there in 2007, while the Tiger-Cats havent been crowned champions since 1999. TSNs coverage of the 101st Grey Cup gets underway with SportsCentre hosts Jennifer Hedger and Darren Dutchyshen kicking things off from Mosaic Stadium at 1pm et/10 am pt. Then, hosts Dave Randorf and Brian Williams take over at Mosaic Stadium at 3pm et/Noon pt alongside the CFL On TSN panel featuring Chris Schultz, Matt Dunigan, Jock Climie, Milt Stegall, and Paul LaPolice. The Pre-Game Show also checks in with Cabbie, as he hosts the Sun Life Grey Cup Fan March from Victoria Park to Mosaic Stadium and delivers another special edition of Cabbie Presents from Regina. The 101st Grey Cup gets underway at 6pm et/3pm pt live on TSN, TSN Radio, and TEAM Radio. TSNs acclaimed broadcast team of Chris Cuthbert and Glen Suitor are in the broadcast booth providing play-by-play commentary and game analysis during the game on TSN. Prior to kick-off, TSN will feature a performance by Saskatchewan natives The Sheepdogs as part of the CFLs special Kick-Off Show. At halftime, TSN has live coverage of the SiriusXM Grey Cup Half-Time Show featuring Canadian multi-platinum pop group Hedley. Brice Butler Jersey . "Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview. Michael Sam Jersey . Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. http://www.cowboysproshopus.com/Womens-Brice-Butler-Cowboys- Jersey/ . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Demarcus Lawrence Cowboys Jersey . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3. Anthony Spencer Jersey . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net.Steve Stricker made it clear that money was not important. His plan was to defend his title at Kapalua and walk away from the PGA Tour for the rest of the year. Over the holidays leading into 2013, he reached a compromise and cut his schedule roughly in half. He contacted his sponsors, and they supported him. Stricker didnt have great expectations starting his year of semi-retirement. "If I could just make enough money to pay yearly expenses, Im fine with that," he said. "If we dont have to touch anything Ive put away ... I dont need to do what Im doing just to make money. Id rather be staying at home, doing things at home with the foundation and with my kids." No one else was around during this conversation, but Stricker still leaned in and lowered his voice as he stated what everyone already knew. "You know, were pretty conservative with our money," he said. Stricker was runner-up that week at Kapalua and made $665,000. He didnt play for six weeks, and then reached the quarterfinals of the Accenture Match Play Championship to earn $275,000. Two weeks later, he was runner-up at Doral and brought in $880,000. That should pay the bills. He finished the year with just over $4.4 million, the third-highest total of his career. His world ranking improved 10 spots to No. 8. And by the end of the year, he had several players contemplating a similar schedule. Along the way, there were plenty of other moments that showed more about players than just their birdies and bogeys, and the checks they cash. ------ Rory McIlroy generated a buzz no matter where he went at the start of the year. He had the hefty deal from Nike. He was No. 1 in the world. And he was struggling early with a missed cut in Abu Dhabi and a first-round departure in Match Play. Nothing caused a stir like Friday at the Honda Classic, when he abruptly shook hands with Ernie Els as they were making the turn and walked straight to the parking lot. Information was a trickle. He was vague during a brisk walk to the car. Later, a statement from his management company said he had a sore wisdom tooth. There was a golf tournament still going on. Michael Thompson shot 65 on that Friday to move to the top of the leaderboard. It was early afternoon and no one seemed interested. The announcement sounded more like a plea. "We have Michael Thompson in the interview room," the official said. One voice broke the awkward silence. "Is he a dentist?" a reported asked. No. But he did win his first PGA Tour event that week. ------ Angel Cabrera is a man of few words and loud actions. A month after losing the Masters in a playoff, he was walking off the 18th green at TPC Sawgrass following a practice round. Fans thrust programs and flags for him to sign. There was bumping and pushing, and a marshal started to bark at everyone to back up. Cabrera stepped back about 10 feet, and then instructed only the children to come under the ropes and join him. He spent the next 15 minutes signing for them. ------ It looked like the scene outside the mansion in "Young Frankenstein," missing only the pitchforks and torches. The Pure Silk LPGA Bahamas Classic was played on a 12-hole course at The Ocean Club because of flooding. The first round didnt finish because of another storm system in the area. Players gathered in darkness outside the rules trailer to find out the plan for Friday. A computer error led players to believe -- only for a moment -- that they would keep their same tee time for the second round. Chaos ensued, filled with heated arguments among players and rules officials. And it was at this moment the LPGA showed its true international flavour. A group of Swedish players were off to the right, raising their voices in their native language. The Americans were in the front of the pack. The South Koreans were in the back. The Spaniards were in the middle. The Germans were over by the hedges. It was the ultimate melting pot. And they ultimately got it all worked out. ------ Among the visitors at The Players Championship was Ulises Mendez, who plays on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica. The Argentine earned his card last year when he tied for 15th in Latin America Q-school. His player badge allowed him access to the tournament, and he camped out just beneath the bleachers behind the 17th green. He stoood there for an hour as the best players came through the 17th.dddddddddddd It was an inspiring day. "To know where you need to be," Mendez said, "you need to see where you want to go." ------ There is no love lost between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia, as both made clear at The Players Championship and in the weeks that followed. The same could be said for Garcia and Padraig Harrington, as the Irishman showed on a couple of occasions this year in his subtle style. Speaking to a small group of reporters at the TPC Sawgrass, where the Woods-Garcia flap was starting to unfold, Harrington said of all the times he has played with Woods he considered his etiquette "absolutely impeccable." "Ive played with Tiger many times," Harrington said. "I give him an A-plus on his etiquette on the course. I give him an A-plus for his respect for fellow players on the course." A British reporter then asked Harrington what kind of grade he would give Garcia. "Im not in a position to rank players," he replied. Later that summer, Harrington finished a practice round at Muirfield and was signing autographs. One fan had the British Open program turned to the page that showed Harrington winning his first claret jug. That was in 2007 at Carnoustie, after a playoff with Garcia. Harrington signed the page and held onto the book for the longest time, staring at the photo with a satisfied smile. "You like that picture?" the man said. "More than you know," the Irishman replied. ------ The woman behind the counter at Starbucks in the Denver suburbs was making small talk with a customer when she learned he was headed to the Solheim Cup. "Annika Sorenstam was just in here," she said. "Well, I think that was her." Think? Not only is the Swede the most famous LPGA Tour player of her generation, one would suspect writing the word "Annika" on the cup would be a dead giveaway. Except that in this case, she can be excused. Turns out Sorenstam doesnt go by "Annika" when shes in Starbucks. Her code name is Maria. "Maria is the one name that translates on every continent," Sorenstam said when she confessed to her alias. "So Im Maria Swenson." ------ The first day of the Solheim Cup nearly didnt finish because of a rules decision that took nearly a half-hour to determine -- and as it turned out, it was the wrong decision. It proved a pivotal part of the fourballs match, which Europe went on to win. It wasnt the first time a rules official had made the wrong call. Former USGA President Trey Holland, one of the most skilled in the Rules of Golf, mistakenly gave Ernie Els relief in the U.S. Open from a temporary immovable object that was movable. But when an official makes a ruling, it stands. Brad Alexander, a respected LPGA official, made the wrong call at the Solheim Cup. When the day was over, confusion and anger lingered. Alexander volunteered to accompany both captains to the media centre to handle any questions from the press. He explained what happened. He made no excuses. He accepted all the blame. It was classy. That kind of accountability would have come in handy at Augusta National this year. ------ The final week of December is the one week no meaningful tournaments are played on any tour in the world. The golf year is endless, and it can feel even longer. Mark Fulcher, the caddie for Justin Rose, has been at this a long time. The crowning moment was at Merion, where Rose won the U.S. Open for his first major. This was in late October, halfway around the world in Shanghai. Everyone was tired. Rose was just starting the stretch run to the end of his year. The caddies were talking about the drudgery of early rounds at a tournament. Except for "Fooch." "The day I stop caddying, Ill either be dead or I wont be excited on a Thursday morning," Fulcher said that day. "Thursday is the greatest day in golf. Its the perfect reset, isnt it? Youre reminded, even if you won, that everyone starts all over the next week. And if youve played absolute rubbish, theres always the belief that its about to turn around. I love Thursday. Just love it." Its a good reminder for everyone involved in this game. You never know whats going to happen next. Or when.
