TORONTO - No Jon Cornish, no Nik Lewis, no Maurice Price, no tears from Dwight Anderson. Ryan McDonagh Jersey . Anderson will make his Toronto debut Saturday night when the Argonauts (1-1) host a short-handed Calgary squad at Rogers Centre. The Stampeders will be minus running back Cornish — the CFLs outstanding player last year — and receivers Nik Lewis (both concussion symptoms) and Maurice Price (broken hand). Catch the game live on TSN as part of a doubleheader starting at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt. But Anderson, who helped Calgary (1-0) win the 2008 Grey Cup, isnt feeling sorry for his former team. "Not at all," Anderson said. "You cant feel sorry for nobody in this league because at the end of the day nobody is going to feel sorry for you. "Theyre going to line up and come after you so youve got to be prepared for whatever they throw at you." Canadian Matt Walter and American Jock Sanders will split running back duties against Toronto while Joe West comes off the injured list to line up at receiver. The offensive line also receives a boost with the return of tackle Dan Federkeil. "Over the years if you look at Calgary theyve had a lot of injuries and a lot of guys have stepped in and done well," Anderson said. "Cornish is down but (Walter and Sanders) are going to share the load. "Nik went down, Joe West stepped in. Theyre not leaving too much firepower out, theyre bringing in firepower so youve got to be on your toes. Thats what Ive told these guys here, theyre a vertical team. Bo (starter Bo Levi Mitchell) has a strong arm and can scramble." Anderson, 33, will start at halfback with just one week of practice under his belt. Toronto acquired the eight-year veteran Monday from the Saskatchewan Roughriders, just two days after defeating the defending Grey Cup champions 48-15 at Rogers Centre. To add insult to injury, Anderson endured the lopsided loss on his 33rd birthday. But Anderson said his transition in Toronto has been seamless because the Argos defence is very similar to the one he played in while with the Montreal Alouettes (2011-12). Toronto defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke held the same post with Montreal from 2008-10 and although hed left La Belle Province by the time Anderson arrived, the Alouettes still used many of Burkes defensive principles when Anderson was with them. "Its been busy, a lot of running around (since trade) but as far as the playbook goes it pretty much came back to me from the Montreal days," Anderson said. "I think the coaches were kind of surprised I picked it up so quickly but (when) youve been in this game long enough nothing is too difficult." Argos head coach Scott Milanovich is hoping the vocal Anderson, whos regarded as the CFLs top trash talker, can be a positive contributor to Torontos young, inexperienced defence. "Dwights an intelligent player," Milanovich said. "I expect Dwight to be what hes always been, and thats a playmaker, aggressive, emotional. "I think our defence could use a little of that. Dwights somebody you have to account for and always know where hes at because he can change the game. You make one mistake, he can take it the other way." Milanovich said the Argos cant afford take Calgary for granted. "If we think the fact Jon isnt playing can give us an opportunity to relax, thats going to burn us," Milanovich said. "Calgary has proven over the years their depth is as good as anybodys. "Theyve always been able to slip guys in, even at quarterback, and still have success and not miss a beat. They (Argos players) know how much I respect this team and this coaching staff and anybody who has been in the league long enough should have the same respect for them." Toronto is also hurting offensively as receivers Andre Durie (clavicle) and Jason Barnes (knee) wont play. Rookies Anthony Coombs — the Argos 14 first-round draft pick — and Darvin Adams will step in at slotback and wide receiver, respectively. Defensively, Matt Ware returns at cornerback from the injured list while safety Jermaine Gabriel gets a second straight start with incumbent Matt Black injured. Milanovich said, like Calgary, the Argos have always managed to get solid play from their backups and hes expecting the same Saturday. "Its become the expectation here with the players in the locker-room," Milanovich said. "It doesnt necessarily make you feel all that warm and fuzzy but Ive got to the point where I trust that the next guy is going to step up and do his job and I think a large part of that is how our team handles it. "They dont blink, they have faith in the guys next to them. I expect those guys to play well." Both starting quarterbacks are coming off solid performances. Torontos Ricky Ray threw for 407 yards and three touchdowns against Saskatchewan last weekend. Mitchell finished 16-of-25 passing for 313 yards and two TDs in a season-opening 29-8 win over Montreal on June 28. The Stamps had a bye last week. Mitchell is 4-0 as a starter but Anderson said the Calgary quarterback is a dual threat. "Bo is a scrambler," he said. "If things break down he can get out on the edge . . . stay with your guy and lock on because what hes looking for once he starts scrambling is that open receiver when they go to their scramble offence. "But if you lock on and let the front do their work then everything will be all right." Mitchell will make his third career start on the road and said he relishes playing away from McMahon Stadium. "Its harder to win on the road and I think thats why I take such a challenge to it," he said. "I think theres nothing better in football than silencing a stadium . . . its a great feeling." Eddie Giacomin Rangers Jersey . Hours after Shelly Sterling said she would fight to keep her ownership of the franchise even if her estranged husband cant, the league said that wouldnt be possible. Derek Stepan Jersey .C. - Nick Merkley and Damon Severson each had a goal and two assists as the Kelowna Rockets downed the visiting Seattle Thunderbirds 6-3 on Saturday in Western Hockey League playoff action. http://www.hockeyauthorityshop.com/new-york-rangers-jeff-beukeboom-jersey/ . "Really, we pitched like garbage," said Morrow. "Starting pitchers were awful the first month, myself included. None of us were pitching like we wanted to, whether it was just bad luck we were going through at that time or just putting pressure on ourselves.COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Omar Cummings scored in the 45th minute and the Colorado Rapids began defence of their Major League Soccer title with a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew in the wild card match on Thursday night. Cummings had scored only three goals in the regular season. Injuries had limited him to 26 games this season. "It has been a difficult season for me," Cummings said. "Tonight made it a lot better." Colorado will face Sporting Kansas City in the Eastern Conference semifinals starting on Sunday. Goalkeeper Matt Pickens made three saves in posting his fifth career playoff shutout. Three of the shutouts have come for the Rapids. The Rapids ousted Columbus a year ago in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Kosuke Kimura ran down the ball in the right corner and broke free along the end line. Kimura slid a pass to an unguarded Cummings just inside the scoring box. Cummings didnt waste any time and kicked a waist-high shot past the diving goalkeeper William Hesmer. "Columbus had played well and had suffocated us on defence before they had a breakdown at the end of the first half," Colorado coach Gary Smith said. "It couldnt have come at a better time and it obviously changed their mindset." "I had a good pass from Kosuke," Cummings said. "And a good look and shot." Colorado dominated play, outshooting the Crew 6-2 in the first half. Hesmer had to come up with five saves compared to two by Pickens. Cummings had two quality attempts, the first in the eighth minute from 20 yards that Hesmer caught above his shoulders. Tom Barrasso Penguins Jersey. He was wide of the net in the 10th minute. Dilly Duka had the best chance for Columbus. He broke free to get off a shot that Pickens batted away. The Rapids put a three-shot flurry together in the 21st minute. Hesmer denied Caleb Folans shot from the slot, the only shot that got through to Hesmer in the sequence. Yet, the Crew remained in the game. A breakdown in the Crews defence, left Cummings without a defender in 10 yards. "It was a mess out there on the goal," Hesmer said. "I thought there was confusion on who was going to go wide with Kimura and when we went out to block the cross, Cummings was left sitting in the hole." Columbus coach Robert Warzycha could only shake his head at the turn of events. "It is unfortunate because of the timing of the goal doesnt give you a chance to respond," Warzycha said. "Then, we begin the second half with a shot off the crossbar." Andres Mendoza hit the crossbar with a shot from the slot in the 55th minute. A cross from Duka that managed to get through to Pickens was the only other time Columbus threatened in the second half. The Rapids failed to extend their lead in the 66th minute. Sanna Nyassi set up for a wide open look, but Brian Mullan sailed a left-footed kick well over the crossbar. Cummings received a standing ovation when he came out of the game in the 68th minute. He was replaced by Wells Thompson. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
