Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. Wholesale Vikings Jerseys . This week they discuss Phoenix Coyotes fans treatment of Gary Bettman, MLSEs government handout, Jeffrey Loria and two legacy CFL stars. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to those fans at the partly empty Phoenix Coyotes home opener who booed NHL commissioner Gary Bettman when he appeared on the big screen. Those fans will never know I disapprove, of course, since they appear to live in desert caves when theyre not at the local hockey game. Blame Bettman for whatever you like, but...Phoenix? The team he tortuously fought to save for five long, litigious years? Phoenix, which could have been Seattle or Hamilton or Quebec City? Maybe it was visiting Canadians; maybe it was just Glendale taxpayers; maybe Coyotes fans were just trying to fit in. But for goodness sake, if not for Gary Bettman, none of them would have been watching the game at this insane, frozen oasis in the first place. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is down to the cozy relationship between taxpayer money and the multi-billion dollar business, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment. Its easy to be offended that the Ontario government will provide MLSE with $500,000, an apparent incentive to bring the NBA All-Star Game to Toronto, as if it werent doing it anyhow, with or without a government handout. Its just MLSE has this way about them - their soccer team plays in a stadium they operate, paid for with taxpayer dollars. Their AHL hockey team plays in an arena they operate, again paid for with taxpayer dollars. MLSE is a wonderfully rich, profitable company...if only its teams could win and it left government of all levels alone. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the Miami Marlins, but my palms are up because I cant decide the main reason why my thumb is down. Is it for venality? Or is it for stupidity? Lets start with the venal. Henderson Alvarez no-hit the Tigers on the last day of the season and because, as H.L. Mencken observed, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria tried to peddle 9,000 unsold tickets to the finale, for $15 apiece, as mementos. Now, the stupid - the souvenir tickets, PDFs actually, were printed with the wrong date: October 3rd and not September 29th. Yeah, I guess Ill go with the stupid. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumbs are up to a couple of new CFL stars whose last names are getting them and the league itself, increased attention these days. They are receivers Luke Tasker of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Duron Carter of the Montreal Alouettes. Luke Tasker is the son of former Buffalo Bill and current NFL TV analyst Steve Tasker and Duron Carters dad is none other than Hall of Famer and TV analyst Cris Carter. Lets not pretend that the players are not interested in the NFL careers that their fathers enjoyed and would love for their sons, but for now, theyre making the most of their time in the CFL and they, and the league, are benefitting from those efforts. The CFL can always use big names. In football circles, Tasker and Carter are big names. Authentic Vikings Jerseys . James Harden wasnt worried and told his coach as much. "He was fired up but I told him: Its OK. Were going to be all right," Harden said. And they were. Houston scored 17 straight points after that timeout, led by 10 from Harden, to take the lead and roll to an easy 129-106 win. Brian ONeill Jersey . The San Angelo, Texas product, who was a high school and college quarterback sensation in the Lone Star State, will start his first CFL game with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (9-4) on Friday at Mosaic Stadium against the leagues top team, the Calgary Stampeders (11-2).In the lead-up to the Sunday Night Football game this past weekend between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, TSN premiered My Brothers Keeper, a moving TSN Original Feature focusing on Ravens lineman Maake Kemoeatu, who made the decision to retire from the NFL before this season in order to donate a kidney to his ailing younger brother Chris, who is himself a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Steelers. For TSN Front Row, we asked TSN Original Feature director Matt Dunn to recount his uniquely personal story of how My Brothers Keeper came to be. Heres what he told us: Some feature ideas come easy, some dont. This story struck me like a lightning bolt, and when it was complete I would be emotionally drained but entirely grateful for the experience. You see, I had a personal connection to the subject matter… In the winter of 2012, my wife and I learned that our second son, Charlie, then only a few months old, would need a kidney transplant at some point in the future. I dont really recall the words coming out of the doctors mouth, but I do recall other details of the moment: the room at Torontos Sick Kids hospital, the colour of the doctors sweater, the silence of my wifes reaction as tears began to roll down her cheeks, and the doctor appearing overwhelmed and leaving quickly. She was young and clearly didnt have much experience at breaking news like this to families. So this past September, when I read the headline on the NFLs Twitter account, Former Ravens DT retired in order to donate kidney to brother, I was immediately invested, and became determined to share this story. I wanted to explore the emotional dynamic between the brothers, and I knew the arc of the story would be their awareness of the stakes before the transpllant surgery. Vikings Stitched Jerseys. . The brothers agreed to allow TSN to tell their story, and when I arrived in Baltimore with the TSN camera crew, we were greeted warmly by the Kemoeatu family at a rental home. Maake, the kidney donor, Chris, the kidney recipient, and their brother Benji were in the midst of moving back to Hawaii where they own a gym and operate a foundation. The walls were empty, the furniture was limited, and they had a lot on their plate. Especially Chris, who was moving and speaking slowly, his body still adjusting to the new organ functioning within. But they gave me their full attention and then some. Upon learning that my son would need a kidney, the brothers wanted to know more and were happy to answer any questions I had before, after, and during the interview. The same went for Dr. Bartlett, the surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Centre who oversaw the transplant surgery. He turned off his frequently buzzing cell phone to answer my questions about donor waiting lists, the chances of any individual finding a living donor match, and anything else I could squeeze in. When our plane lifted off, I knew we had the story we wanted to tell. I was hopeful the story would inspire Canadians to register to become organ donors. But I was also moved personally: I felt more optimistic about my sons future, and I felt less alone. Upon parting ways with the brothers, there was one more special moment. Maake, the eldest of seven siblings who gave his brother the gift of life, shook my hand and looked squarely into my eyes. Both of us having shared our stories with each other, I felt the strength and compassion in his gaze, like he wanted me to feel a little safer, a little more secure. And I did. I still do.
