Mired in a CFL-worst 1-4 record, the Montreal Alouettes are looking for improvements in all facets of their game, including a bigger contribution on offence from Chad Johnson. Alouettes head coach Tom Higgins didnt mince words regarding the high-profile receiver, who has just four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown this season. "Were getting closer to the end than we are of the beginning if we dont start having better output," Higgins told reporters on Thursday as the team prepared for Fridays home game against Edmonton. Higgins warning comes just a day after Johnsons agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN that the 36-year-old is still hopeful for an NFL return. "If they did (call), he would jump for it," Rosenhaus told ESPN on Wednesday. "Of course, he would love it. But right now, hes operating as a Canadian Football League player. We will see what happens. Its not like were holding our breath that hes going to play in the NFL. But hes trying. Thats the goal." Rosenhaus added that Johnson, who signed a one-year contract with the Alouettes in April, is enjoying his stay in Montreal and being able to play. "He just loves playing football," he continued. "Chad is a guy that will play football until hes 50 if they let him. "He loves the game. Hes really very passionate. Hes got to do something with football, its just his life. It really is. All his Twitter followers are enjoying him in Canada just like they would in the NFL. Its nice to see." Black Luke Kuechly Elite Youth Jersey .

Kingsbury and Marc-Antoine Gagnon of Terrebonne, Que.SAO PAULO - Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has decided to stay with Brazils national team despite the death of his nephew in an accident two days before the opening match of the World Cup. Scolari attended the official FIFA news conference in Sao Paulo on Wednesday and did not travel to be with his family in southern Brazil, where 48-year-old Tarcisio Joao Schneider died in a car accident on Tuesday. He also took charge of the teams training session at the Itaquerao Stadium where Brazil will play Croatia on Thursday. Scolari said he was drawing strength from seeing his players dedication in their preparations for the World Cup. "I find the strength by working with this group, in this environment, where the players are dedicating themselves to their goal day after day," Scolari said. "This helps me leave the sadness behind and stick to the positive things that are happening." The coach was told about Schneiders death just before the teams training session outside Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, one of thee last before the opener.dddddddddddd "Sometimes we have to deal with some difficulties, but you have to try to move on," Scolari said. Schneiders brother, Darlan, was one of Brazils physical trainers when Scolaris team won the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. Highway police in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul said Schneider, the son of one of Scolaris sisters, died when the car he was driving collided head-on with a truck on the opposite lane. Its not the first time that Scolari has had to deal with a personal tragedy since Brazil began its World Cup preparations. Last month, he had to leave the training camp to attend the funeral of one of his brothers-in-law. There was also a shadow cast over the start of the 2010 tournament in South Africa, when Nelson Mandela was not able to attend the tournaments opening match because his 13-year-old great-granddaughter died in a car crash on the way home from a tournament-eve concert. ___ Follow Tales Azzoni at http://twitter.com/tazzoni ' ' '
