ay after Del Rio initially debated punting.You know youre putting yourself out

WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will kick off the opening of their new stadium with an Olympic-style run. But instead of a torch, the 400 runners who traverse a good chunk of southern Manitoba will carry a football. "I was involved in the Pan American games in 1999," said Bomber vice-president Jerry Maslowsky. "One of the things I really remember was the torch run and part of that was getting communities handing (off) this torch and bringing it into Winnipeg." He said theyre doing something similar to recognize that the team represents all of Manitoba and not just its namesake city. The run will begin June 22nd in Portage la Prairie and end June 27th in Winnipeg, when the Bombers host their first regular-season game at Investors Group Field. The announcement was made at the headquarters of the Great-West Life Assurance Co., which sits on the spot where the old Osborne Stadium once played host to the Bombers. It was followed in 1953 by Winnipeg Stadium, later known as Canad Inns Stadium, which was torn down this year. In Winnipeg, the run will pass by the former sites of Osborne Stadium and Canad Inns Stadium before ending up at Investors Group Field. The 33,500-seat field on the grounds of the University of Manitoba is opening a year behind schedule because of construction delays. People will be able to apply online or at various sponsors to be one of 300 runners selected from the general public and contest details will be announced May 21. Another 100 runners will include mayors and others already selected. Former Bomber veteran Doug Brown is a spokesman for the Kickoff Run and joked that no fumbles will be allowed. "If you fumble the ball, you have to move to Saskatchewan and give me 100 pushups," he said, announcing the rules he decided on his own to impose. "If you are not a Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan, do not enter to win this contest, otherwise you will be blind-sided by me at some point in your Kickoff Run leg."Air Max 90 Italia .

Weve got a plan in place ... and the guys have embraced it.Its hugely important for us to bounce back from what we just did and get prepared for whats next.Derek Carr threw a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter against Houston to lead the comeback, a growing trend for a quarterback that is getting some attention as a potential MVP candidate.In his two-plus seasons in the NFL, Carr hhas led the Raiders to nine game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime- including four times this season.ddddddddddddIt really comes down to the execution in those situations, Del Rio said. Hes done a great job of staying even-keel throughout the evening. Hes really been tremendously poised and composed and hes gone out and delivered for us.Not everything went well in Mexico City.Two weeks after piling up 218 rushing yards against Denver, the Raiders were limited to just 30 by the Texans.There were also a handful of dropped passes by wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Seth Roberts, and a defense that had considerable difficulty covering Texans tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz.All of that was a lot easier for Del Rio to take after Carrs game-winning touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 4:53 remaining.The Raiders then sealed the win a few moments later when running back Latavius Murray gained 6 yards on a fourth-and-1 play after Del Rio initially debated punting.You know youre putting yourself out there a little bit, but youre believing in your guys, and they delivered, Del Rio said. When you know youre putting yourself out there, and then they deliver, its satisfying.Game notesDel Rio was questioned about an announcement earlier in the day from Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf that a framework had been agreed to on a potential stadium deal to keep the team in Oakland. That doesnt have anything to do with us and the team right now, Del Rio said. ... Del Rio also said he spoke with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before Mondays game, but that the subject of suspended linebacker Aldon Smith did not come up. Smith has applied for reinstatement, but has yet to hear back from the league. ...
