Vick's hand is bruised, not broken

Michael Vick went home with a broken hand and woke up with only a bad bruise.

Now that's a testament to the miracle of modern medicine. Well, not exactly.

Eagles coach Andy Reid said a CT scan Monday showed the star quarterback has a hand "contusion." Reid said X-rays taken during Philadelphia's 29-16 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday showed Vick may have a fracture.

"Today, he had a scan and it showed there was no break," Reid said. "It was a blood vessel sitting above the bone. That happens at times with X-rays. The blood vessel makes it look like it was a fracture. There is still a bunch of swelling. It is sensitive to the touch. The positive is there is not a fracture there."

It's uncertain if Vick, who throws left-handed, will play when the Eagles (1-2) host the San Francisco 49ers (2-1) next Sunday.

"We will see how he does over the next couple of days," Reid said. "We have to get the swelling where it is manageable and he feels comfortable. It's about the same right now, and it's not to say that he can't play with the swelling, it's just got to be where he can bend his hand where he can work with it."

Vick was injured on a hit from Chris Canty after completing a 23-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin in the third quarter. He finished off the series and led the Eagles to a go-ahead field goal.

Vick left for X-rays, but returned without missing a play. He then left the game for good after another series. Mike Kafka replaced him and threw two interceptions.

Reid wouldn't say whether Kafka or Vince Young would start if Vick can't play against the 49ers.

"He always wants to play, that's how he is," Reid said of Vick. "He's a competitive guy."

The hit from Canty didn't sit well with Vick. He blasted officials for not calling a roughing-the-passer penalty, and said he wants to be treated like other quarterbacks.

Vick backtracked a day later, however.

"I was kind of out of character and being too candid in that aspect," he said Monday. "Ultimately, I respect the referees and their decision to make calls, and you won't hear me complain about it no more."

Still, Reid is concerned about his franchise player.

"His best interest is always in my mind, when he's on the football field, in particular," Reid said. "I know he's a marked man. I think it's important that we all keep a close eye on him."

Canty, of course, disagreed with Vick's view on the hit.

"No, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the hit when it took place," he said. "I didn't think there was anything wrong with the hit after looking at it again today. You know, it's unfortunate that he got injured. We're not out there trying to injury anyone. We're all competitors. We're competing at the highest level. It is unfortunate for him and unfortunate for their football team. We're all competing. We're all competitors. We have to go out and play hard."

Reid and several Eagles players expressed concerns last year over late hits that weren't called on Vick.

Asked whether he would call the league to complain, Reid said: "We'll see."

Better protection from the offensive line would certainly help Vick, too.

"There are a bunch of things that we can do and we can say other people need to do and all that," Reid said. "But we're going to keep working on things on our end, and I know people will keep working on things on their end."

Vick started against the Giants despite suffering a concussion in the second half of a loss at Atlanta just a week earlier. He seemed out of rhythm early, but made some nice throws before getting hurt again.

In other injury news, Maclin's hamstring strain also is better than it appeared at first.

"Initially, we thought it was more significant than that," Reid said. "It is tender right now. The MRI came back and it wasn't a negative thing there."

Wideout Riley Cooper is day-to-day with a concussion, and cornerback Brandon Hughes has a hamstring strain. Defensive ends Juqua Parker (high ankle sprain) and Darryl Tapp (pectoral strain) didn't play Sunday.

Thigpen scored three touchdowns and the Ticats won the game 55-36.

Marcus Thigpen made the most of his first start of the season as a Tiger-Cats receiver.

Thigpen caught two of Kevin Glenn's three touchdown passes and ran in a missed field goal as Hamilton took this year's Touchdown Atlantic game with a 55-36 victory over the Calgary Stampeders on Sunday.

The Ticats, playing as the home team, improved to 6-6 on the season while Calgary dropped to 7-5 after the League's second visit out East, which drew 20,153 to the University of Moncton campus.

Thigpen's highlight play came when he returned Rene Paredes' missed field goal 118 yards to give Hamilton a 34-21 lead heading into the final quarter. He finished with 274 yards receiving.

"I came into training camp this year playing receiver, so it was really nothing new, it was all about timing," said Thigpen. "I finally got my opportunity to go out there and show what I can do. I take advantage of every opportunity I get."

The loss dropped the Stamps into a tie with Edmonton for top spot in the West Division. Hamilton stays third in the East.

Glenn finished 16-for-23 with 276 yards and no interceptions. He said his teammates gave him a lot to work with on the field.

"You got three running backs on the field, but all of them can play like a receiver and catch the ball," Glenn said. "Terry Grant, Thigpen and Avon Cobourne — all those guys did a hell of a job today.

"The offensive line blocked, receivers — when called upon to catch the ball — caught it. It was a good all-around win."

The Tiger-Cats dominated the first half, taking a 24-14 lead at the half capped by Glenn finding Thigpen in the end zone with less than 20 seconds on the clock.

Stampeders' quarterback Henry Burris and receiver Romby Bryant combined for Calgary's two touchdowns in the first half.

Burris finished the game 13-of-23 for 177 yards, while backup Drew Tate threw two TDs in the fourth quarter, including a 10-yard strike to Bryant — his third of the game.

A scare for the Ticats came early in the third quarter when receiver Matt Carter took a big hit that sent him airborne and landing on his neck. He didn't return to the game.

LaMarcus Coker had the Stamps only touchdown in the third on a 75-yard run.
Searching for answers

Calgary coach John Hufnagel made a change at running back, starting Jon Cornish instead of Joffrey Reynolds. It was only Reynolds' second time as a healthy scratch.

It was Calgary's second straight loss and third in four games after a 32-19 defeat to B.C. at home last week.

Hufnagel said he was searching to learn what's going wrong with his team.

"The way we played football over the last month is not the same type of football we played at the beginning of the season," said Hufnagel. "I don't think we're tough enough mentally to overcome bad situations in a football game ... every game has peaks and valleys and you have to fight through it."

The near capacity crowd in Moncton enjoyed their second chance to host a regular season game, and much of the talk at the tailgate party was about what's next.

"I think it's a very good idea to have it here and hopefully there will be more games in the future," said Hamilton fan Jack Lilliman of Dorset, Ont.

Stampeders fan Norm Solomons travelled all the way from Lacombe, Alta., for the game and said he's interested in seeing the League expand east.

"I think it would be really good," he said. "It would open up Canada for more football."

League commissioner Mark Cohon said it's too soon to make any commitments to have more out-of-province teams hold yearly games in Moncton.

"I'll look at the opportunities for some of our teams to come here, buying out another home day from one of our teams and sitting down with the mayor and the city in determining if we come next year or do we come in 2013," Cohon said prior to the game.

"You think about Hamilton in 2013, they'll be out of their stadium, and I think that's one of the potential opportunities."

Both teams return to the field next Saturday as the Stampeders travel to Saskatchewan (4-8) and the Ticats are home to the Argonauts (3-9).

Roughriders finally hitting their stride

There is a saying that stuck with me while I was playing: "If you are not improving, you are actually getting worse because everyone else is getting better."

Every week, teams are experimenting with different lineups in order to find the right mix of players that give them the best shot at making it to the Grey Cup. Some are happy with the rosters they have and are working to hone their field skills, some are tinkering with slight personnel changes, while others are making wholesale changes.

When the Roughriders decided to address the on-field performance, they sure didn't mess around as they fired both their head coach and their offensive coordinator. Making a coaching change in-season is always a huge gamble, but it has been nothing short of amazing to see how new coach Ken Miller and the Riders fit together.

However, the other key offensive addition for the Riders is receiver Dallas Baker, who was recently acquired in a trade that sent rush end Luc Mullinder to Montreal.

Dallas was the leading receiver in Saskatchewan's 45-23 win over Winnipeg on Sunday. Like Fantuz, he is also tall and presents a deep threat they did not have previously.

Baker has learned to be a big-game receiver during his four years with the Florida Gators. He also has a level of maturity and should become a strong leader for this team.

The fact Saskatchewan was able to put up 72 points in two games against Winnipeg, which boasts the stingiest defence in the CFL, has caught everyone's attention.

The defence also needed to patch up some glaring holes. The front seven was not getting nearly enough pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Prior to the Week 11 matchup with Winnipeg, the Riders' defence had the fewest number of takeaways in the league.

Since being rotated into the lineup, defensive ends Shomari Williams and Shawn Lemon have made a huge impact. The Baker trade was only able to happen because of the play of Williams.

Defensive coordinator Richie Hall has decided to use smaller rush ends and bring a level of creativity that can only happen with greater levels of speed.

The other move that's boosted the defence has been the insertion of rookie safety Craig Butler. The University of Western product has been fun to watch as he has shown a nose for the football.

His solid play has also allowed James Patrick to be moved to the dimeback position, a cross between defensive back and linebacker.

Sunday's game was very telling of the type of defence Saskatchewan is now running. The Riders were flying around in the Banjo Bowl and created six turnovers resulting in 28 points.

Despite their 3-7 record, the Riders are for real and will be a force that other teams will now need to take note of.

Two guys that I believe will pay big dividends for the Eskimos are Prechae Rodriguez and Jason Armstead. Both receivers have experience and, at 6-foot-5, Rodriguez brings another big receiver into the fold.

Adversity is never fun to go through, but often it makes you stronger. Edmonton is finally getting healthier and now a stronger team with tremendous depth at receiver.

Harrison was Calgary's most outstanding rookie nominee in 2010, but was slotted in to replace outstanding lineman Ben Archibald, who signed with the B.C. Lions.

The up and down start to the season for Calgary has largely been due to the constant personnel changes along the offensive line. Over the course of the first nine games, the Stamps have had four different starters.

Unfortunately, Harrison has been recovering from a pectoral tear that he sustained while lifting weights in the off-season. Tony Washington played in Week 10 but was getting worked on by Marcus Howard. In the previous two games Washington was penalized for five procedure calls.

Offensively, Henry Burris had one of his worst games last week while facing relentless pressure by the Eskimos' front seven.

Burris threw for 132 yards, with two interceptions and two fumbles. Running back Joffery Reynolds averaged only 2.2 yards per carry and managed only 13 yards as the Stamps were embarrassed by Edmonton, 35-7.

However, Calgary looked like a different team in Week 11, beating the Eskimos 30-20 at Commonwealth Stadium. Burris had time in the pocket and was helped by a rushing attack that produced 182 yards.

A statement released on behalf of his wife, Claybra Selmon, said he died at a Tampa hospital surrounded by family members.

"For all his accomplishments on and off the field, to us Lee Roy was the rock of our family. This has been a sudden and shocking event and we are devastated by this unexpected loss, " the statement said.

Selmon was hospitalized Friday, and the Buccaneers confirmed later that he suffered a stroke.

The Glazer family, which owns the team, released a statement mourning him.

"Tampa Bay has lost another giant. This is an incredibly somber day for Buccaneer fans, Sooner fans, and all football fans. Lee Roy's standing as the first Buc in the Hall of Fame surely distinguished him, but his stature off the field as the consummate gentleman put him in another stratosphere, " the statement said.

Selmon and his brother, Dewey, were both chosen as All-Americans in 1975 when the Sooners won their second straight championship under Barry Switzer. They followed older brother Lucious to Oklahoma, and the three played together during the 1973 season.

Selmon followed his Hall of Fame college career with an equally impressive run in the NFL. He was the No. 1 pick in the 1976 draft -- the first ever selection by expansion Tampa Bay -- and suffered through a winless inaugural season before achieving success. In 1979, he won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award when he helped Tampa Bay make it to the NFC championship game. The Buccaneers also won the NFC Central title two years later.

Selmon was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995. Presented by brother Dewey, Lee Roy said it was his family background that was noteworthy and not his accomplishments on the field.

"People have said, 'Your parents must be proud of you, ' but I'm more proud of them, " he said.

While accompanying the South Florida football team to a game against Oklahoma in 2002, Lee Roy Selmon said he was humbled that Switzer had called him his greatest player.

"I see myself as just having been a teammate with so many great players and coaches, " he told The Associated Press. "I'm floored by such a generous compliment. "

Lee Roy Selmon was born Oct. 20, 1954, in Eufaula, Okla., to Jessie and Lucious Selmon Sr. and raised on a farm with eight siblings. The three who'd go on to star for the Sooners could have ended up at Colorado, if not for a last-minute recruiting

Larry Lacewell described in the book "Wish Bone" that the Sooners didn't decide to recruit Lucious Selmon until Barry Price switched his commitment from Oklahoma to Oklahoma State the day before signing day. Lacewell showed up at the Selmons house to find Colorado coach Eddie Crowder there. When he got his chance to talk to the family, he stayed at the house until the two younger brothers had fallen asleep and he had convinced the Selmon parents it was better for Lucious to play closer to home.

Oklahoma went 10-0-1 with all three Selmon brothers playing together in 1973, then won national title the next two seasons. Lee Roy Selmon won the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy in 1975. He ended his college career with 335 tackles, a school record for a linemen at the time, and 40 for a loss.

He went on to record 78 ½ sacks and earn six consecutive Pro Bowl selections during his nine-year career. He retired after the 1984 season.

Premier League chief: Adebayor's damaged football

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor harmed English football's image with his inflammatory goal celebration and stamp on former Arsenal teammate Robin van Persie, according to Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore.

The Football Association is set to investigate Adebayor's charge up the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal fans in City's 4-2 win over the Gunners on Saturday, a game in which Van Persie was cut below the eye by what he called a "mindless and malicious stamp" from the same player.

"It doesn't do any good for the brand that is football in one sense -- of course you would rather it didn't happen," Scudamore said Monday. "(The FA) should look at it in absolutely the cold light of day with the evidence in front of them and deal with it.

"These incidents, whether it's on the field incidents like this that are beamed around the world, whether it's the isolated instances of bad behavior off the field, don't do the image of the league or football generally any good."

The FA has until Tuesday evening to charge the 25-year-old Adebayor, who could get a three-match ban alone if found guilty of violent conduct for his challenge on Van Persie.

Van Persie said he was fortunate to escape more serious injury, but City manager Mark Hughes repeated Adebayor's contention that it was an accidental collision.

"Emmanuel Adebayor sustained a tremendous amount of personal abuse from the kickoff but strongly maintains that there was no malice intended in the challenge on Robin van Persie and apologized to him when he hugged him on leaving the field of play at the end of the game," Hughes said Monday.

"The referee had a great view of the challenge from Ade and the one that preceded it by Van Persie and deemed at the time that neither were worthy of either a yellow or red card."

Adebayor, who joined City in July after ending his final season in north London subject to accusations from fans of a poor attitude and work rate, caught Van Persie's face with his boot after the Netherlands striker tried to dispossess him with a sliding tackle.

He then ran the length of the field to celebrate after scoring City's third goal. Furious Arsenal fans hurled objects on to the field and had to be controlled by stewards, one of whom was knocked unconscious.

"We expect high standards of behavior from our players and it is easy in the cold light of day, when the adrenaline has died down, to talk about what players should and shouldn't do in that situation," Hughes said. "Ade again immediately apologized but we know the FA will be reviewing the matter."
