Vorstellecke » Sunday the game was not yet sold out

CALGARY -- Randy Chevrier has been on both sides of Labour Day hostilities between the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos. He was an Eskimo for an on-field fracas in 2003. It started with Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray getting pushed out of bounds and ended with teammate Ed Hervey -- now the Esks general manager -- swinging his helmet at Davis Sanchez and hitting an official instead. "I was right there on the sideline when I dont know who it was that pushed Ricky through the Gatorade table," Chevrier recalled Sunday at McMahon Stadium. "The next thing you know it was a brawl on the sideline, then it spilled out to the middle of the field and then Ed trying to swing his helmet at Davis and it hit the ref. It was a total crazy, boiled-over type of tension. It was pretty awesome." A few Labour Day games later, Chevrier was a Stampeder witnessing a pre-game confrontation between teammate Jeff Pilon and Edmontons Patrick Kabongo. "Patrick Kabongo was mouthing at us while we were doing our typical breakdown before the game," Chevrier explained. "Hes beaking off and the next thing you know, Pilon goes into his face. Youve got these two humongous titans pounding on each other before the game." The Stampeders won the 2012 edition of the Labour Day Classic 31-30. Edmonton kicker Grant Shaws field-goal attempt from 48 yards sailed wide and Larry Taylor ran it out of the end zone as time expired. Edmontons record since that game is 3-15. Calgarys is 14-4. While the fortunes of Calgary (6-2) and Edmonton (1-7) have widely diverged, the Stampeders long-snapper doesnt believe the CFLs Battle of Alberta is diminished a year later. "Theyve always been that intense emotional experience that you want in a football game," says Chevrier, who will appear in his 10th career Labour Day game Monday. Albertas CFL franchises will meet for the first time this season at its halfway mark and clash again four days later in Edmonton in the Labour Day rematch. A sunny day with a high of 27 degrees is forecasted for McMahon Stadium. A Stampeder spokesman said Sunday the game was not yet sold out, but Chevrier hopes it will be. "One of the big things is its one of the few games in the summer where, the day of the week that its on, everyones in Calgary and they show up," he said. "Its full of our fans. Its not like a Rider game where you have a ton of green shirts. Its typically full of red. I love that atmosphere." The Stampeders are in a tight race with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and B.C. Lions at the top of the West Division despite a revolving door on offence due to injuries. With veteran slotback Nik Lewis and star running back Jon Cornish out of the lineup last week, Calgary prevailed 35-14 over the Argos in Toronto last week. The last four of Edmontons six straight losses have been by five points or less. In the history of the CFL, only the 1979 Winnipeg Blue Bombers have lost as many consecutive games by that margin. Edmonton is coming off a 30-27 loss to Riders. The Eskimos have outscored the opposition 78-49 in the fourth quarter this season, but that hasnt translated into many wins. "Its kind of heartened our resolve even more going through those tough losses together," Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly said. "Its made us more hungry each and every week to get that win. I dont think anybody is hanging their heads. We know what were capable of. "We just havent been able to get over that hump. Once we do, I think everybody is very confident were going to turn the season around and were going to finish out strong. Its Labour Day. The season is far from over. I can promise you that." Reilly was hit too much by Saskatchewan last week to suit Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed, who wants Reilly taking calculated, not reckless, risks in pursuit of victory. "Franchise quarterbacks are very hard to come by," the Edmonton coach said. "Its also our responsibility as a coaching staff to make certain we impress upon him the importance of longevity, being smart. "There are certain situations weve had late in the game where trying to fight for that extra yard is necessary. There are a lot of situations where wed like to see Mike get out of bounds or see Mike slide. "I understand why hes doing it. Hes trying to will this team to success." Cornish, the CFLs No. 2 rusher behind Saskatchewan Kory Sheets, is back in Calgarys lineup after sitting out one game with a thigh bruise. Cornish ran for 255 yards and three touchdowns in three wins against Edmonton last season. "When you look at their offence, most things function through Jon," Reed said. "Not only is he a tremendous runner, but he does all the other things that you expect of a versatile running back. For us to have good results against this offence, we have to stop him." Maurice Price rotates back in at wide receiver for the Stampeders after a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3. Glenn remains the starter in the absence of injured Drew Tate, but expect to see Bo Levi Mitchell inserted to finish short-yardage situations. Notes: Calgary is 3-2 against Edmonton in their last five Labour Day meetings . . . Jonathan Williams, who led the Stampeders in rushing against Toronto with 82 yards in Cornishs absence, is out with an ankle injury . . . Defensive tackle Micah Johnson (torn oblique) is off Calgarys nine-game injured list and will play for the first time since Week 3 . . . Edmonton defensive lineman Odell Willis (shoulder) is out of Mondays game. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Angel-Correa-Jersey/ . Today, well look at five frontcourt players today, here from the Bay Area. 1. AMIR JOHNSON (Raptors): I cant figure out what the issue or problem is, but based upon what Im seeing, hes not right. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Gelson-Martins-Jersey/ . Seager had another triple, a home run and a double in a rare feat not seen in more than 40 years, leading Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners past the New York Yankees 10-2. "It was a weird play," Seager said of the triple in the fourth inning. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Antonio-Adan-Jersey/ . -- Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale searched more than three quarters for five guys who would play well together. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Diego-Costa-Jersey/ . Goins is the early favourite to win the starting job at second base. Pillar is an outsider to secure a role off the bench, which becomes an even more difficult spot to win if the number of back up jobs is reduced by one. That happens if the Blue Jays decide to start the season with an eight man bullpen. Atletico Madrid Jerseys .com) - Intrastate rivals collide Saturday as the Texas State Bobcats hit the road to take on the eighth-ranked Texas Longhorns in a non-conference battle at Frank Erwin Center.England could suffer burnout under Eddie Jones intense coaching methods, a former World Cup winner says. The Jones era could scarcely have begun better than a first Six Nations Grand Slam in 13 years, and the next challenge is to mastermind victory over his native Australia in a three-Test series starting on Saturday.The build-up to the Brisbane opener has been relatively low key as Aussie boss Michael Cheika refuses be drawn into a psychological battle with Jones, an old team-mate. But former Wallabies captain Phil Kearns has not been so shy, warning England to enjoy their success under Jones while it lasts.Asked if Jones will make or break England Kearns, who won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999, told Fox Sports: I think he will do both. I think in the short term they will be incredibly successful over the next two to three years. The big question is what happens after that?He is a very astute coach but there is a point where the fanatical work ethic goes too far. Theres not a lot of people in the world of Eddie Jones. Theres one bloke and tthats him.dddddddddddd Thats his world. Eddie Jones has a fantaical work ethic, according to Phil Kearns I actually think he is a good guy. But he is massively intense, massively hard working and he ensures his team works hard to the point - I have heard - of overtraining them and really pushing them to the limit.Ive heard a couple of the guys in the Japan team say they would never play under him again because they could not keep up with the workload it was so intense. It will be interesting to see how over time the Pommies go.
