OTTAWA -- Marc Cohon never tires of singing the praises of the Ottawa Redblacks ownership group. Julian Love Jersey . The CFL commissioner spoke to media prior to the start of the Redblacks home opener at the newly refurbished Lansdowne Park, now known as TD Place. Fridays game signifies the return of CFL football in the nations capital for the first time in nine years, but this time Cohon is convinced football is back for good. "We always believed in our ownership group and we had great support at the city council," said Cohon. "I think those two groups working together got us to this point today. It took longer, obviously there were some skeptics and some roadblocks along the way, but look at this -- you have one of the best facilities in North America I believe and when the whole project is done its going to be a great social environment. "You have what looks like a competitive team, corporate support, youve got 17,000 season ticket holders and the ownership group that Ive talked about being the dream team. Its a recipe for success." Cohon had always been a vocal supporter for the return of football in Ottawa and its clear Fridays game is a personal celebration. "Youve heard my quote before and Ill say it again, we had a hole in the heart of the CFL," said Cohon. "I think what this ultimately means for us is we have more people watching our game à this means the CFL is growing and expanding and in a big market like Ontario its important for us to be in one of its largest cities." The 48-year-old commissioners commitment to football in Ottawa has even earned him personal recognition as he admitted to being recognized by fans and given thanks for helping with the Redblacks. When asked about Ottawa hosting a Grey Cup Cohon couldnt help but laugh, but did say there was an agreement in place for the Redblacks to host a Grey Cup within the teams first four years of playing. Many would love to see the Redblacks host in 2017 to coincide with Canadas 150th anniversary, although Cohon was noncommittal. With the Redblacks now established, many expect expansion to be the focus for the nine-team league, but Cohon says attention needs to be given on getting the Toronto Argonauts out of Rogers Centre and hopefully securing a home at BMO Field. In addition, Cohon may have to deal with further delays to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats new stadium. Overall Cohon believes the league is in good standing. TV numbers are good and he expects them to improve as the season progresses. Michael Strahan Womens Jersey . He just didnt expect them to be this good. Darrun Hilliard scored 19 points to lead No. 6 Villanova to a dominating 77-59 victory over Georgetown on Saturday, preserving the Wildcats hopes of a No. Dalvin Tomlinson Womens Jersey . Today, he looks at the offensive line. 1. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (OT, McGill) You Should Know: Over the course of his university career, Duvernay-Tardifs commitments to medical school and the family business frequently limited him to one practice per week, yet he was still the Metras Trophy winner as the Top Lineman in CIS football in 2013. http://www.nygiantsfanaticshop.com/ .com) - Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is active for Sundays matchup with the Miami Dolphins. CALGARY -- Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish has ample opportunities to upgrade his own CFL record. With four games remaining in the regular season, the New Westminster, B.C., native is less than 50 yards from bettering his single-season rushing record by a Canadian running back. Cornish ran for a pair of touchdowns and a career-high 208 yards in Calgarys 38-11 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday. At 1,415 yards, Cornish overtook Saskatchewans Kory Sheets as the CFLs leading rusher. Cornish set his record of 1,457 yards in the final regular-season game of 2012. He bettered Norm Kwongs mark of 1,437 that had stood for 56 years. The 28-year-old said he wont reach the personal goal hed set for himself this season -- and Cornish did not reveal that number -- because he missed one game due to injury. Cornish is still motivated to see how how far past last seasons total he can go. "The mark I was aiming for, I wont be able to get there, but Ill try and see how far I can get," he said. "I want to see what Im capable of. Thats why I play this game, to push my body to the maximum." Maurice Price and Marquay McDaniel had touchdown catches for the Stampeders, who topped the league and the West Division at 11-3. Rene Paredes contributed three fields goals to reach a career-high 41 this season. Will Ford scored on a 100-yard kickoff return for Winnipeg. Kicker Sandro DeAngelis, a former Stampeder, made one of two field-goal attempts in front of an announced crowd of 26,293 at McMahon Stadium. Calgarys Rob Maver and Winnipegs Mike Renaud traded punt singles in the second quarter. Stampeders quarterback Kevin Glenn improved to 7-2 in starts this season with 320 passing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Glenn was relieved by Drew Tate with 11 minutes remaining in the game. Tate threw his first passes in a game since July 7 when he injured his throwing arm. He completed three of four passes for 41 yards. Winnipeg dropped to 2-12. Quarterback Max Hall completed 15 of 34 pass attempts for 147 yards. He was intercepted once. Montreals 47-24 victory over Edmonton earlier Saturday further dimmed the Blue Bombers playoff chances. An Alouettes win over Winnipeg next week would eliminate the Blue Bombers from contention. The Stampeders totalled 623 yards on offence to Winnipegs 290 and earned twice as many first downs at 28. "Sometimes you have a bad day," Bombers coach Tim Burke said. "I think talent-wise, they have the best offence in thhe league. Dexter Lawrence Womens Jersey. We werent very assignment-sharp against the run and then we missed a bunch of tackles." The Stampeders finished 7-1 against East Division opponents this regular season. Calgarys remaining games are in the West Division and those games will determine playoff positions. The Saskatchewan Roughriders and B.C. Lions, both 9-5, have already secured playoff berths along with Calgary. The Stampeders host the Lions on Friday followed by games against the Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan and the Lions again in the finale. "We knew the last month of the season was going to be for all the marbles," Calgary head coach John Hufnagel said. "Its nice going into that four-game stretch with a two-game lead, but anything can happen over the next month. "We play good football teams and we have to get ready to play good football week in and week out, which will help us get ready for playoff football." Blue Bombers defensive end Alex Hall and Calgary counterparts Charleston Hughes and Cordarro Law ranked first to third in the league in sacks respectively, but Law recorded the only one of the game. Paredes, the CFLs special teams player of the month for September, was good from 46, 14 and 35 yards in the game. DeAngelis missed an attempt from 48 yards in third quarter, but made a 15-yarder in the first quarter. The Stampeders led 25-4 at the half. The first of two Cornish majors was a 50-yard dash to score in the opening quarter. He credited the return of receiver Joe West, which added to Calgarys offensive weapons, as well as an offensive line determined not to get beaten by Winnipegs front four. "I really think the offensive line made it easy for me and that in turn makes it look easy," Cornish said. West played his first game since July 20 because of a separated shoulder. He led the Stampeders in receptions in the game with eight for 120 yards. Winnipeg moves to the West Division next season when the Ottawa Redblacks join the CFL. The Blue Bombers havent won at McMahon since 2002 and fell to 9-20 versus the Stampeders since 2000. Notes: Jon Cornishs previous career high for rushing yards in a single game was 185 against Edmonton last year . . . The last CFL running back to rush for over 200 yards in a game was B.C.s Martell Mallett for 213 on Sept. 4, 2009 against Montreal . . . Calgarys Derrius Brooks prevented a Winnipeg touchdown in the first quarter by hauling down Ford. Brooks also had an interception in the second half. ' ' '
