KITCHENER, Ont. -- Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., needs just one more win to get closer to another Olympic experience. The 2006 Olympic gold medallist came out hitting against Saskatoons Steve Laycock for a 5-3 win on Sunday in the Page Playoff C-C game at the Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trials. With the win, Gushue earned another faceoff with Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in the last chance to qualify for the Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials in December. That event that will decide Canadas teams for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. "It felt great out there," said Gushue. "I thought we played well. We really minimized our mistakes, which is something really burned us early on this week. We didnt make any big ones, and the few mistakes that we did, we came back with great shots after." The No. 2-ranked Gushue rattled off two wins early in the pre-trial tournament, then lost the A-Event final to John Morris of Vernon/Kelowna, B.C. Battling back through the B-Event, Gushue lost the semifinal to Jacobs and had to win two more games before defeating Greg Balsdon of Elgin, Ont., in the C-Event finals and earn a spot in the Page C-C game. Gushue and his team of Brett Gallant, Adam Casey, Geoff Walker and coach Peter Gallant shot 90 per cent as a team, and executed the big shots when needed. In the eighth, with a Laycock counter tucked behind a corner guard, Gushue made the runback double with his first, and then threw a precise pick forcing Laycock to hit for one and head into the final two ends trailing by two. Trailing by one in the final end, Laycock split the house to set up a possible score of two, forcing Gushue to draw for one and put the win away. "Were playing our best curling the past two days, and hopefully it continues tonight," Gushue said. "We just need one game, one great game, and well be in Winnipeg. But unfortunately, were playing a real good team, and theyre playing well too. So were going to give it everything we have and hopefully come out on top." While disappointed, Laycock was also philosophical after the loss. "We came in ranked fifth, and we finished fourth," said Laycock. "Disappointing to lose out there, but they played a great game though. Brad make five or six doubles that were huge." Sam Bradford Jersey . At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. Darren Sproles Eagles Jersey .

Rueben Randle Jersey . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. Carson Wentz Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.Each week, we will run down the top waiver wire pickups with a focus on the coming week and rest of the season. QUARTERBACKS Terrelle Pryor (vs Jaguars) Week - 19/29, 217 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 112 rush yardsRemember this is fantasy football, not the real kind. Pryor is not going to pass for big yards or throw a ton of touchdowns, but you can bet that he will run the ball. Hes not going to get 112 rush yards every week but you can probably count on five or six points from his running. That means that even mediocre passing days like he had on Sunday can yield solid results. He is well worth the gamble as a high-end backup. Carson Palmer (vs Lions) Last Week - 26/40, 327 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INTPalmer looks to have developed solid chemistry with his top receivers in Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts all three of whom put up good numbers. Arizona is going to throw the ball a lot this season so in spite of some tough matchups in the NFC West, Palmer will post solid QB2 numbers based on sheer volume. Others to consider - Jay Cutler (vs Vikings), Josh Freeman (vs Saints) RUNNING BACKS Joique Bell (at Cardinals) Last Week - 11 touches, 92 yards, 2 TDsBell finished with 15 fewer carries than Reggie Bush in Week 1 but he got both goal-line carries and made them count. Bells role in the passing game was impressive and if he continues to get the goal-line work he is a decent fantasy option. Fred Jackson (vs. Panthers)Last Week - 17 touches, 72 yardsJackson was, surprisingly, the most productive Bills running back in Week 1 picking up 67 yards on 13 carries compared to 41 yards for CJ Spiller on 17 carries. Its still Spillers backfield, but Jacksons experience will continue to earn him touches.DaRel Scott (vs Broncos) Last Week â 10 touches, 74 yardsScott took over for starter David Wilson against Dallas after Wilson lost two fumbles carrying five times for 23 yards and grabbing five passes for an additional 51 yards. Tom Coughlin is getting fed up with Wilsons mistakes so look for Scott to see an increased workload until Wilson can work his way back into the coachs good books.Others to consider â Bilal Powell (at Patriots), Jonathan Dwyer (at Bengals)WIDE RECEIVERS Brian Hartline (at Colts)Last Week - 9 catches, 114 yards, 1 TDDespite picking up over 1,000 yards last season Hartline was passed over in a lot of leagues. However, with Ryan Tannehilll and Mike Wallace still lacking chemistry, Hartline remains the Dolphins go-to receiver.dddddddddddd As the season goes on he will likely cede some looks to Wallace, but for now he is a fairly dependable WR3. Julian Edelman (vs Jets)Last Week - 7 catches, 79 yards, 2 TDsEdelman saw nine targets on Sunday and caught both of Tom Bradys touchdown passes in the win over the Bills. Obviously he wont score two touchdowns every week, but Edelman should continue to see a lot of targets, especially while Shane Vereen is sidelined. Edelman is a valid flex or WR3 play this week with higher upside in PPR leagues. Rueben Randle (vs Broncos)Last Week - 5 catches, 101 yardsWith their running game struggling, the Giants will be throwing the ball a lot. Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz will still get the majority of the looks but there should still be plenty left over for Randle who caught five balls for 101 yards in Week 1. Andre Roberts (vs Lions)Last Week â 8 catches, 97 yardsRoberts made a couple of very nice catches in Week 1 and was second on the team in targets behind Larry Fitzgerald. He wont get into the endzone often, but in the Cardinals pass-heavy offence Roberts will catch plenty of passes and give you decent yardage.Others to consider â Marlon Brown (vs. Browns), Jerome Simpson (at Bears), Rod Streater (vs. Jaguars)TIGHT ENDSJordan Cameron (at Ravens)Last Week - 9 catches, 108 yards, 1 TDThe Browns offence as a whole didnt look very good in Week 1 but Cameron sure did with some very athletic receptions en route to a 108-yard day with a score. Tight ends play a big role in Norv Turner offences so Camerom should produce big numbers all season long. This week, he goes up against a Ravens team that allowed 110 yards and two touchdowns to Julius Thomas in Week 1. Hes owned in a lot of leagues now, but if hes around, grab him.Julius Thomas (at Giants)Last Week - 5 catches, 110 yards, 2TDsThomas exploded in Week 1 and will be one of the hottest pickups this week with good reason. Its only one week, but Thomas has top-10 tight end upside. He is an athletic specimen and now that he is finally healthy will be a big redzone target for Peyton Manning. Manning loves to throw to his tight ends and has said that he expects Thomas to maintain a big role going forward.Others to consider â Kellen Winslow (at Patriots), Tyler Eifert (vs. Steelers) Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
