Whats traditionally been a gruelling turnaround in the CFL will be slightly easier when the Edmonton Eskimos host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday. For nearly a quarter-century, the Eskimos have played in Calgary on Labour Day with the rematch just four days later in Edmonton. Since 1989, the lone exception to that schedule was in 1992. You can catch all the action starting at 7pm et/4pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO. Calgary (8-1) and Edmonton (7-2) get one more days rest than usual this year after the Stampeders 28-13 win Monday at McMahon Stadium. Its not a lot, but a little more time to repair bodies and prepare brains for the second game that always feels like a marathon for players on both sides. "This is going to be a four-quarter game," Stampeder linebacker Juwan Simpson predicted before the team departed for the Alberta capital. "If we feel in any way shape, form or fashion this game is going to be like it was the other day, weve got another thing coming. All these second games have almost come down to the wire. "A lot of guys will be aching, but the game, the adrenaline gets you through it. But mentally, its here we go, same team, same thing. You have to keep yourself in the meeting rooms, keep yourself getting healthy and not just take it for granted because youre playing the same team." The Stampeders are 2-0 against Edmonton in 2014 and clinched the season series with Mondays victory. Calgary hasnt lost Game 2 of the September home-and-home since 2006 and owns a 10-game winning streak against Edmonton. This is Edmontons last chance in the regular season to get a win over their southern rival because the Alberta clubs dont meet again in the second half of the schedule. "The good thing is youre playing the same opponent so youre not going to put in a million new defences and offences or anything on special teams," Eskimos head coach Chris Jones told reporters in Edmonton. "Youve got to go back in and look at what we did well and try to utlilize it and add a thing or two and thats it." Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 208 yards Monday, but Edmonton didnt score an offensive touchdown. Calgarys defence hasnt given up one in 29 consecutive drives by opposing offences. An injured thumb on Mike Reillys throwing hand kept the Esks quarterback out of Mondays game and ended his run of consecutive CFL starts at 26. He didnt throw the ball much in practices this week, which indicates another start for Nichols. "Its always a tough week when you only have a few days off in between games, but at the same time you dont have to do the extra game planning," Nichols said after Mondays loss. CFL all-star receiver Fred Stamps returns to Edmontons lineup after sitting out four games with a lower-body injury. Grant Shaw, who had field goals from 13 and 44 yards Monday, has been put on Edmontons injured list. Hometown product Hugh ONeill will handle kicking duties Saturday. Calgarys Edwin Harrison slides in at right tackle for Dan Federkeil, who left Mondays game with an injury. Stampeder receiver Joe West will not play because hell be in Texas for his brothers funeral. Despite missing six games with concussion symptoms in July and August, Calgary running back Jon Cornish isnt out of contention to win a third straight league rushing title. But with nine games remaining, hell need more performances like the 163 yards he had Monday. The New Westminster, B.C., native is 253 yards behind current CFL leader Nic Grigsby of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The extra day of rest could especially benefit Cornish on Saturday, but he didnt mind the short turnarounds of previous years. "Ive always liked playing on Fridays," Cornish said. "I always enjoyed the sort of epicness of that quick turnaround. "I know a lot of people werent super-fond of playing more than one football game in a week, but I liked that. Its a challenge to rise to." Edmonton was 1-8 at the halfway point last season. Their six-win swing matches the CFLs best mid-season improvement previously achieved twice by Hamilton (1960, 1997) and once by Toronto (1995). Those teams played in the Grey Cup those years, so the Esks have reason to be optimistic despite their winless record against Calgary this season. "This is probably the most confident team Ive ever been on," Eskimos linebacker J.C. Sherritt said. "Like we said after we took that loss, we were just happy we were going to play them again right now so we can line up again against them." Cheap Yeezy 350 Fake .

The Missouri defensive end, who likely will be drafted by an NFL team this weekend, will receive the award given to individuals who transcend sports at The 2014 ESPYs on July 16. Sam, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, has announced that he is gay, making him set to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. ESPN is honouring Sam for "his courage and honesty that resonates beyond sports." "Im very honoured to be presented with the Arthur Ashe award," he said. "It is about courage. "You know I dont think there is anything courageous I did. I look forward to when we can live life in a world when gays dont have to come out in public." Sam said he has received support from athletes in all sports, "from football to basketball to softball to soccer, everyone." "I am thrilled to be living in a time when you can be accepted for how you live." Sam joins a prestigious list of winners ranging from Jim Valvano, the first recipient in 1995, to Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King, Cathy Freeman, Nellson Mandela and Pat Summitt.dddddddddddd The award, of course, is named for Ashe, the inspirational tennis star who died in 1993 after contracting AIDS from a blood transfusion. After learning he had the disease, Ashe campaigned to raise awareness about AIDS. "Arthur always believed in and practiced leading by example," said Ashes widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe. "When Michael Sam announced that he is gay, he courageously stepped forward to engage an issue that still remains a pervasive problem in many professional sports. Michael has displayed true leadership both on and off the field." Sam is one of eight children from Hitchcock, Texas. Two of his siblings have died and one disappeared and has not been found. Maura Mandt, executive producer of the ESPYs, calls Sam a "humble guy who isnt looking for any accolades." "In deciding to give Michael this honour, while his courageous act of coming out is a part of it, the story is about the life he led growing up," Mandt added. "A man who has consistently lived his life with integrity, is never afraid of living this truth." ' ' '
