WINNIPEG -- Coach Tim Burke summed it up as his Winnipeg Blue Bombers dropped a 24-6 exhibition stinker to the Toronto Argonauts to start their new life at Investors Group Field Wednesday. "I wish we could have given the crowd a lot more to cheer about," he said after an offensive output that consisted of two field goals. Last years Grey Cup champions brought their backup quarterbacks and a cast of newcomers to town and still looked confident on the newest turf in the CFL. The $200-million stadium on the grounds of the University of Manitoba has all the bells and whistles -- luxury boxes, fancy concessions and even comfortable seats. But it didnt help the Bombers, who struggled offensively behind all four of their pivots, although starter Buck Pierce played only about half a quarter before he was yanked to avoid the blitz. Max Hall, one of the two newcomers in camp this season to challenge for No. 1 backup, played most of the first half. "I was able to complete some balls and do some good things," he said later. "I was happy with it." Justin Goltz took over in the second half, the only backup the Bombers retained from last season. The other newcomer, Chase Clement, saw action in the fourth quarter. Goltz was clearly distressed at opening the new field with a loss, also perhaps at playing second fiddle to Hall, although he didnt admit it. "Thats not my decision. Im not going to comment," he said. "It would have been nice to start the stadium off in a little better way. Unfortunately, we didnt show up tonight." The consensus in the locker room was there remains a lot of work to be done and Burke agreed. The Bombers scored first at their new home. Justin Palardy put them on the board with less than two minutes left in the first quarter with a 34-yard field goal. But Torontos Gerald Riggs had the first touchdown in the $200-million stadium, a 20-yard run at 1:49 of the second to make it 7-3. Toronto made it 14-3 before the end of the first half after quarterback Zach Collaros hit Trent Guy with a five-yard touchdown pass. Toronto kicker Anthony Alix extended it to 17-3 at the 4:27 mark of the third quarter. Jameze Massey brought the Bombers and their fans back to life late in the third with a 91-yard return on a missed Alix field goal attempt. "I love this stadium, I love it very much" said the CFL rookie, who just turned 23. "Im going to try to do that every week. Thats what I do, Mr. Excitement." Brett Cameron, son of Bomber punting legend Bob Cameron, turned it into three points by connecting with a 37-yard field goal, although Cameron is in camp to challenge at punter. The Argos started the game behind Trevor Harris, the only other backup quarterback retained from last season. They also brought newcomers Mitchell Gale and Josh Portis, who saw action in the second half. Gale dropped the ball on the last play of the third quarter but picked it up and still managed to connect with Romby Bryant in the end zone for another touchdown to make it 24-6. A 46-yard Alix field goal near the end of the game was wiped out by a penalty for illegal formation. The Bombers have been polishing a new offence but said before the game they wanted to keep this one simple. Even though it was only pre-season play, they very much wanted a win to start their life in their new home. The new stadium is about 12 kilometres from downtown Winnipeg and a good chunk of the crowd hadnt made it by kickoff time. The Bombers sold 31,500 of the 33,400 seats as of Monday although the announced attendance was only 28,628. "I have the feeling that people will have to figure out the traffic patterns," said Burke, who noticed how long it took to fill the stands. With few roads into the campus, many left early to avoid a similar problem getting home. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Hats/ .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Ray-Lewis-Jersey/ .

Umberger scored twice to lead the Blue Jackets to a franchise-record for consecutive wins with a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the Los Angeles Kings. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Terrance-West-Jersey/ . The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court.

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. http://www.ravensrookiestore.com/Ravens-Ronnie-Stanley-Jersey/ . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Coach Brian Kelly isnt interested in talking with his players about a history lesson as Notre Dame tries to avoid one of the schools worst finishes in 128 seasons of playing football.We dont spend time talking about worst or bad or all-time negative, things of that nature. We are who we are. Were 2-5. We know where we are. So thats not really going to be a solution to us, Kelly said. If Ive got to get them motivated to be successful by using, `You guys dont want to be one of the all-time losingest football teams, then we recruited the wrong guys.These guys have got a ton of pride. I dont have to hit them in the nose with a newspaper and remind them of that. So we dont talk about that. We talk about how do we get a win, he said.There would be plenty of negatives to talk about.A loss to Miami (4-3) on Saturday would be the fourth straight at home for the Irish (2-5), dropping them to 1-4 in South Bend with a game left against No. 25 Virginia Tech on Nov. 19. The only two times the Irish have lost four or more games in a season at Notre Dame Stadium were in 1960 and 2007.The 1960 team under Joe Kuharich lost four straight at home to finish 1-4 in South Bend and 2-8 overall. In 2007 under Charlie Weis, the Irish lost six straight at home to finish 1-6 at Notre Dame Stadium and 3-9 overall. The 1933 team finished 0-3-1 at home and was shutout in all four games, finishing 3-5-1 overall.Kelly blames poor play defensively to start the season and inconsistent play on offense for the disappointing home play this season.Those inconsistencies are a product of inexperience and coaching that needed to be probably better adept at managing that situation, he said.ddddddddddddA loss to the Hurricanes, who have lost three straight, would mean the Irish couldnt finish above .500, something theyve failed to do only 19 times. Notre Dame has had 13 losing seasons in its long history .Despite Notre Dames struggles this season, athletic director Jack Swarbrick told ESPN.com last week that Kelly will be back at Notre Dame next season. Kelly, who turned 55 on Tuesday, has a 57-28 record at Notre Dame and is two losses shy of tying Lou Holtz, who coached the Irish for 11 seasons, for most losses by an Irish coach.Kelly, who agreed to a six-year contract in January, said he was disappointed Swarbrick felt like he needed to give him the vote of confidence.Any time that your athletic director has to come out and say that, as a head coach youre disappointed that any kind of comments like that have to be made. I didnt ask him. That was his decision. But I clearly understand what he was doing. He was probably sick and tired of being sick and tired, too, Kelly said.Game notes Kelly said there is no change in status for cornerback Devin Butler, who was suspended indefinitely from the team before the season after being arrested. He pleaded guilty last week to misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and under a plea agreement will avoid jail time and complete 24 hours of community service.---Online: AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Discount Jerseys NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL T-shirts Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Black China NFL Jerseys Disocunt Football Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Throwback Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Black China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Stitched Jerseys ' ' '
