REGINA - Drew Tate put the Calgary Stampeders on his back and carried them into the playoffs.Tate drove into the end zone with 34 seconds left to play as Calgary earned a 31-24 victory over Tino Sunseri and the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday.Tates one-yard touchdown plunge proved to be the winning score, one that crushed any hopes of an improbable Roughriders comeback win.When it came down to it and we needed to drive the field, we did it. Thats what you have to do, said Tate, who marched the Stamps 85 yards on the winning drive and improved his teams record to 12-2.(The coaches) wanted to kneel it down, but Dave (Dickenson, offensive co-ordinator) changed his mind. Thats playing aggressive football, Tate said. I wanted the offence to end it.The decisive drive evaporated three minutes from the clock and killed the momentum Saskatchewan had built in the second half. The Riders record slipped to 9-5.That last drive, our defence played well and we just couldnt stop them at the end, said Saskatchewan safety Tyron Brackenridge. They executed and we didnt.Tate finished the night 16-for-29 passing for 194 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for two scores.With the win, the Stampeders became the first team in the CFL to clinch a playoff berth this season.Thats the first step to where we wanted to go, said linebacker Juwan Simpson. But weve been here before. Ive been in this league for seven years and Ive been (in the playoffs) a lot of times with only one championship ring to show for it.If we dont get a Grey Cup this year its going to be a failure, point blank, period. We play this game for no other reason. We dont play to just make the playoffs. Our goal is to win a championship, and making the playoffs is just one step toward that goal.The Stamps may be without running back Jon Cornish. The CFLs leading rusher did not play in the second half because of an undisclosed injury. Cornish rushed for 74 yards on 11 carries in the first half.Sunseri caught fire after halftime and erased a 24-0 deficit in bringing the Roughriders even at 24-24 with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Saskatchewans 10-play, 101-yard game-tying score was punctuated with Jerome Messams one-yard touchdown run and Anthony Allens two-point convert.Sunseri relieved an ineffective Seth Doege midway through the second quarter and nearly completed a spirited comeback. It was Sunseri who led the Riders to a thrilling overtime win over the Ottawa Redblacks two weeks ago, a game in which the Riders trailed 22-10 at the half.On Friday, Saskatchewan was down 9-0 at halftime and 24-0 late in the third quarter before the offence got on track.Dan DePalma broke a Riders scoring drought of six and a half quarters when he raced 66 yards for a touchdown. Sunseri had a one-yard touchdown run on the Riders next possession, with Weston Dressler adding two-point converts on each score to make it 24-16 after three quarters.Whenever you put yourself in a 24-0 deficit, even though were not the type of team thats going to quit, youre not doing yourself any favours against a good football team, said Roughriders receiver Rob Bagg. The good news is we continued to stick together.Sunseris final line was 16-for-19 passing for 289 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for 21 yards.For Saskatchewan, the Seth Doege experiment fell flat rather quickly.Making his first start in the CFL, Doeges night was finished midway through the second quarter after he threw his third interception of the first half. The rookie completed 3-of-9 pass attempts for 28 yards. He also lost a fumble.Since 2012, the Riders are 26-16 in games started by Darian Durant. They are 2-6 without Durant in the lineup. Durant isnt eligible to return to the Riders lineup until at least the Oct. 24 contest in Calgary, if he returns at all this season. He had surgery last month to repair a torn tendon in right elbow.Calgary is 10-2 in its last 12 meetings with Saskatchewan.

Now - 48 hours before the main event - the Raptors leading scorer is soaking it all in, still a little starry-eyed, mindful of how far he has come and what its taken to get him to this point. "Its starting to become real now," he told TSN.ca Friday afternoon, as the All-Star participants gathered in the cavernous ballroom of a New Orleans hotel for their annual media day circus. "I think when I really go out there, put the jersey on and head to the arena Sunday evening [it will really hit me]." The 24-year-old DeRozan does not have to look very far to find mementos of his NBA journey, the closest one will be sitting adjacent to him on the Eastern Conference teams bench when the game tips off on Sunday. Heat forward and fellow All-Star reserve Chris Bosh was one of the first to pull DeRozan aside upon arrival in New Orleans this weekend. Bosh - the Raptors last representative in the All-Star Game, four years ago - left for Miami following DeRozans rookie season. He, as much as anyone, can attest to DeRozans growth as a player and the message he had for his former teammate was just that. "Im proud of you," he told the Raptors guard. "It means a lot," DeRozan said of Boshs kind words. "We were just laughing because I remember being the only rookie, 19-years-old on the Raptors, him being a star and seeing all the things he was going through when he was [in Toronto] and how he had to carry the team on his back." "After he left I had to step up and learn. Its just crazy, we were laughing at how fast time flies. It seems like yesterday I was that rookie who wouldnt shoot the ball and passed it to Chris every time." There was pressure on DeRozan to contribute right out of the gate, starting 65 games - most of them alongside Bosh - as a rookie in Toronto. He was, to his own admission, a deer in the NBA headlights. He attempted fewer than seven shots per game - which more than doubled in his second year, without Bosh in the lineup - yet averaged less than an assist in over 21 minutes a night. At the time, becoming an All-Star was not even on his radar, his focus was self-preservation and proving his worth as an NBA player. "Youre always stuck in the moment," he remembered. "You stay on course with your everyday tasks and you work towards something like this, you just work every single day..dddddddddddd. I knew if I just stay consistent, stay focused and didnt get down on myself too much I knew I had a chance." Five seasons later - one year removed from signing a long-term contract extension - his work ethic has not wavered, if anything its gotten stronger, more relentless. "Im proud of DeMar," said Terrence Ross, who has become a protégé of DeRozans. "Hes put in so much work. To see him here is like, man, I wish we could give him more for all hes done. Im just happy hes here getting a chance to prove to the world what he can do." Now that hes here, now that hes come this far he knows not to take it for granted. DeRozan - who is tied for fourth in the league in minutes played, also nursing an ankle injury - could have used the time off but youll never get him to admit it. Hes honoured to be representing the third-place, division-leading Raptors on the world stage. He was caught off guard when his agent called to deliver the leagues invitation to participate in Saturdays Skills Challenge, an event usually reserved for point guards, one thats out of his comfort zone. Originally he declined but it didnt take much prodding to convince him to change his mind. "Everybody doesnt get a chance to be a part of All-Star Weekend," he said when he was announced as a participant last week. "The big thing for me is to go out there and have fun. I think it will be cool to go out there and represent my team as much as I can and you never know, I might mess around and win it." DeRozans attitude is a refreshing change of pace from many of todays star players who decline invitations to participate in All-Star Saturday Night each year to preserve their energy, prevent injury or simply because they feel like theyve graduated from it. Sure, LeBron still wont dunk but perhaps times are changing after all. For the first time since 1988 three All-Stars will compete in the Slam Dunk contest, one of them, Damian Lillard will participate in all five major events this weekend. His rationale is on par with DeRozans. "Im happy Im really a part of the weekend," said Lillard, another first-time All-Star. "Ive gotten great reception from the fans. Fans are excited about having someone who is participating in the All-Star Game being in all the events." DeRozan is considered a long shot to defeat Lillard, the reigning champion, in Saturdays Skills Challenge but hes not putting too much pressure on himself. For him, the weekend is all about embracing a new opportunity, his first real All-Star opportunity. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys Danny Rose Jersey ' ' '
