Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. Los Angeles Clippers Jersey. This week they discuss the retirement of Doug Brown, the emergence of Tristan Thompson, the end of the PGA Tours Qualifying School and the Toronto Blue Jays. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to Doug Brown, the mountainous Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive lineman, who is retiring just as his team comes apart at the seams, on twitter and otherwise. Brown was a seven-time All-Star, the CFLs Most Outstanding Canadian in 2001, and the victim of some bad luck - his 2007 team arrived at the Grey Cup without its injured quarterback, and his first and last teams, which made the 2001 and 2011 Grey Cups, just werent quite good enough. But Brown conducted himself with loyalty and dignity, and was an immensely thoughtful and honest man. The final image: him fighting tears in front of his locker, in full uniform. The next one: him as a great broadcaster, wherever he lands. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Tristan Thompson of Brampton, Ontario, the fourth pick in last Junes NBA Draft, for having a breakout game in just his second starting assignment with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson, who wasnt supposed to be able to score, wound up with 27 points and 12 rebounds - a combination that no one on the Toronto Raptors has matched yet this season. And its just not Thompson; if you look at the tournament, youll see Ontario kids like Brady Heslip knocking down threes for Baylor, displaying the emerging Canadian talent in the game. So in a different kind of way, maybe Don Cherrys not far off. Maybe the problem with the Raptors is: not enough Ontario kids on the team. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is down to the impending death of the PGA Tours Qualifying School, the grandest drama this side of Hamlet. Starting in 2013, the PGA will switch to a qualifying system involving only the Nationwide Tour, making that Triple A loop the lone path to a PGA card. For the sloggers on the Canadian tour, who survived the arduous qualifying process and jumped directly to the big leagues… well, sorry. For one last year, the six-round Q-School final will be the finest crucible in sports. Players arent playing for their lives but for their livelihoods - or at least a chance to earn them. Darwinian perfection; no revamped system will ever be more compelling. Dave Hodge, TSN: Never mind the idea that spring training results mean nothing, Im saying thumbs up to the Blue Jays for their pre-season-best 18 victories....and only four losses. But if you need another reason to be optimistic about their chances in 2012, here it is. Outfielder Travis Snider and pitcher Kyle Drabek are two players who are always mentioned when the Jays future is discussed. Odds are, they will not be on the major-league roster when the season starts, and yes, Im counting that as good news. Snider and Drabek are performing well, they just cant crack the lineup yet, and that must say something about the team the Jays will field this year, and in the coming years.

Volstad (2-0) yielded just three hits and one run, fanning four with two walks for the victory. "I started out well. Its a big thig winning the first one on the road, in a three-game series," said Volstad.EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Brett Favre still hasnt been able to throw a proper pass in practice, and the Minnesota Vikings still havent given up hope their quarterback will extend his NFL record for consecutive starts against the New York Giants in a game postponed until Monday night because of snow. Favre did minimal work in practice Friday for the first time all week, making a few soft tosses to test out the sprained SC joint in his throwing shoulder, but will now get an extra day to heal. He was listed as questionable on the injury report and will be a game-time decision on whether he will make his 298th straight regular-season start. Interim coach Leslie Frazier, speaking before the game was pushed back to Monday, said Favre wanted to test out his throwing motion more than anything on Friday and that the 41-year-old will have to show the team he can make all the throws during a pre-game workout to get clearance to play. "We would have to see him make some of the throws hed have to make in the game, and he understands that," Frazier said. Favre was unavailable to reporters Friday, but said earlier this week he does not want to compromise the Vikings ability to beat the Giants in order to keep his streak alive, no matter how much pride he takes in the achievement. Frazier also said the only way Favre will play is if he can protect himself, make all the throws and play the entire game. Giving him a snap or two at the beginning of the game to keep the streak going is not an option. The team is still considering giving Favre a painkilling injection to help him through it. Receiver Percy Harvin is listed as doubtful with migraines that have kept him away from the team facility for more than a week, including last weekends game against Buffalo. "Its going to be touch-and-go," Frazier said. "Were going to talk again (Friday). But its going to be very, very difficult to get him up to speed. But well see." Left guard Steve Hutchinson (broken right thumb), defensive end Ray Edwards (sprained right ankle) and third-string quarterback Joe Webb (hamstring) all are listed as questionable. Cornerback Chris Cook (knees) and safety Tyrell Johnson (knee) are ouut. Amare Stoudemire Jersey. Favre was injured on the third play against Buffalo last Sunday when Bills linebacker Arthur Moats blindsided him and drove him into the turf. He watched the rest of the game from sideline and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. "The type of guy he is, the only (way hes not) on the field is if the skys falling," Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. The Giants (8-4), stuck in Kansas City on Saturday night, have one of the best defences in football and are tied with the Packers for the league lead in sacks. If Favre cannot play, Tarvaris Jackson will start. He completed 15-of-22 passes for 187 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in the 38-14 victory over the Bills last weekend. Jackson said he got almost all of the reps in practice this week and is ready to go if Favre cant make it. "Im ready to play," Jackson said. "Regardless of what happens, Im ready to play football." Jackson was a second-round draft pick in 2006 and former coach Brad Childress tried to groom him as the quarterback of the future. But inconsistent play led the Vikings to bring in Favre last year and coax him back in August for one more season. "I mean this whole situation has been a difficult situation," said Jackson, in the final year of his contract. "Im not going to even sit here and act like it hasnt. Its been a difficult situation, but I just try to make the best out of it. "Its a privilege to be in this league and Im not promised anything. So I just try to come out here and be the best player I can be and the best teammate I can be." Favre has played through countless injuries over the last 18 years, never moreso than this season when he has struggled with two broken bones in his left foot, 10 stitches in his chin from a hit against the Patriots, tendinitis in his throwing elbow and calf, back and neck soreness. "Brett Favre, as you guys know, is a special, special player and hes done it time and time again, sometimes without all the parts," Frazier said. "And in a lot of ways this wouldnt be a lot different. Hes succeeded against all odds so many times, so I dont count him out ..." Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
