Lions coach Bill Reichert says the distraction of his professional commitments ahead of the Grey Cup final have given him some solace following the tragic death of his son. 18-year-old Dylan died in a car crash on November 12th and the veteran coach says his team's preparations for Sunday's CFL league final at B.C. Place on Sunday has helped to take his mind off the tragic incident. It will interesting to see how this sensitive matter affects on people Bet on CFL. However, he admits that, understandably, he is still finding it extremely hard to fully focus on his team's prospects. "It's hard,'' Reichelt said Wednesday, his voice a near whisper. "Your thoughts are not here." "You have to get your mind off things every once in a while. You are just overwhelmed. You are almost numb. It's good to deflect stuff and get your mind on something else for a little bit.'' "It's good for me to get in here just to get my mind off everything. We have our time and that's how you handle it.'' The Lions opponents on Sunday the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have had to deal with their own tragedy this season after defensive coach Richard Harris suddenly died from a heart attack. Those looking for the Latest CFL tips may want to note that Winnipeg coach Paul LaPolice says whoever wins on Sunday, this season has shown all involved that there is more to life than and he is hoping the match will be a fitting tribute. "I think it's pretty poetic that these two teams get to face each other again,'' said Winnipeg coach Paul LaPolice. "I'm sure the big man is smiling down this morning. He was somebody who touched more lives than just the Winnipeg Blue Bombers because he was so well respected throughout the league. I think it's special these two teams are here.''  |
| Derek Fisher to Continue Labour Talks Posted: 25 Nov 2011 08:06 AM PST After days of deliberation, Players Association president Derek Fisher has flownto New York to take part in the latest round labour talks as the two parties resume negotiations on Friday, positive news to those who want to Bet on basketball again. The union have included a number of high profile figures in their team for thelatest round of talks and may only add to the league's claims that the union is a 'sham' and is only looking for publicity. Despite these claims, Fisher says the chance of the NBA ending its lockout inspired him to fly to the Big Apple and he is hoping to havea positive influence on the talks. Following a number of players filing antitrust suits against the league, the twoparties are now looking to force through a deal which would see any possible legal action withdrawn and Fisher's appearance could make a major difference. The latest round of talks are thought to be the league's final chance to save theseason and they're looking at this set of negotiations as 'do or die' as they look to get fixtures underway around Christmas in a shorted 66 game campaign . However, the NBA are unlikely to be so welcoming to Fisher and chairman Danielstern believes its just another move to give the player' extra leverage in the negotiations. The new agreement still hinges on a number of key issues with players looking fora 50-50 split while the owners seem unlikely to budge on their 53-47 proposal. The owners also want a hard salary cap to limit players' additional earnings from appearance fees and other contract terms and if these issued are not resolved this weekend, it couldmean we won't be following the NBA online as the whole season is cancelled.  |
| Posted: 25 Nov 2011 06:30 AM PST Lee Westwood will rejoin the PGA tour in 2012 but has announced his intentions to split his commitment between both the European Tour and that in the USA. The world number three is now obliged to play in 15 events across the Atlantic in which his first next season will be the WGC Matchplay event in Arizona in February. He does have two wins under his belt on the PGA Tour, however, he has been much more successful in Europe throughout his career so far. Westwood will also compete in next year's Players' Championship – considered by many as the unofficial fifth major on the golf calendar. The former world number one missed the tournament at Sawgrass last year because he had already committed to events in Asia and did not want to pull out. It is also thought that the Ryder Cup and FedEx Cup have played a significant part towards the player taking up a card on the PGA Tour next year. The FedEx Cup is worth $10 million for the winner and determines the champion golfer of the season. The best online sports betting reflects how tough it is. The 38-year old will be required to play at least 13 tournaments on the European tour, however, the four majors do count on both circuits. He is expected to still appear predominantly in Europe as Ryder Cup points will be available as he looks to qualify for next year's team. The 2012 Ryder Cup will take place in the States from the Medinah Country Club in Illnois. Westwood was part of the European side that defeated the United States in 2010 at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales. However, Europe have not defeated their opponents on American soil since 2004.  |
| Europe expected to face Tingle Creek challenge Posted: 25 Nov 2011 05:34 AM PST After much consideration it appears that Henry de Bromhead and his team have decided that the next target for reigning Queen Mother Champion Chase winner Sizing Europe will be the Grade 1 Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 3 in preference to the John Durkan Memorial chase at Punchestown a day later, writes Elliot Slater. His race in March is one of the horse racing betting news stories of the year, and De Bromhead and Sizing Europe's owners Ann and Alan Potts had been seriously thinking about having a crack at the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day over three miles, and after seeing their charge run a fine race to be second to Quito de La Roque over that trip in the Grade 1 JNwine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal in early-November that option remained very much on the table. Over the last few weeks all connected with the tremendously talented nine-year-old had been weighing up the pro's and con's of going down the three-mile route but eventually have decided that they should stick at what they know best and intend to bring Sizing Europe over to Esher Park at the start of December to take on the top British two-milers in what will be a race worth travelling a long way to see. Sizing Europe, currently with best racing odds of 5/1 ante-post favourite to retain his title at the Cheltenham Festival in March, failed by only three-quarters-of-a-length to confirm the form of his five-length big race victory over Big Zeb when a runner-up to his old rival at Punchestown in May, but began this term in winning fashion, albeit fortuitously, landing a Grade 2 event at Gowran Park when clear leader Rubi Light fell at the final fence. His subsequent effort when only caught close home at Down Royal over three-miles proved what a talented and versatile performer Sizing Europe is, but for now he will be kept to the minimum trip as he attempts to add to his four Grade 1 victories in what has already been a tremendous career.  |
