Kory Sheets plays a pass-first sport in an even more pass-first league. But his steadily spectacular production through the first half of this season is allowing the Saskatchewan Roughriders to think run. Sheets became the fastest CFL player ever to reach 1,000 yards rushing, eclipsing the mark during Saskatchewans Week 9 win over the Edmonton Eskimos. The sophomore imports 1,058 yards through eight games has him on pace to break the leagues single season rushing record of 2,065, set by Mike Pringle of the Montreal Alouettes in 1998. Sheets is averaging 132.25 yards per game to start the season, and if he keeps it up, will shatter Pringles mark by 315 yards. And theres every reason to believe he can. Sheets numbers arent inflated by one giant performance. In seven of the teams eight games, the 28-year-old has rushed for 130 or more yards, and only once has he gone for more than 140 yards. Sheets is as steady as it gets. The Riders should continue to feed him the ball as well. Sheets leads the league in rushing attempts with 175, a healthy margin over the second place Jon Cornish with 108. Sheets has had the benefit of a 7-1 record and at least a few blowouts to pad his stats with late game runs to kill the clock, but the Darian Durant-Drew Willy combo ranks among the leaders in passing attempts, so it isnt fair to say Sheets opportunity will decrease drastically should the teams competition get stiffer in the second half. Unless the Riders struggle mightily to finish out the season, they should be able to maintain their current balance of run and pass. Sheets current lead for the rushing title sits at more than 300 yards, and while Cornish (currently in second with 749 yards) is capable of producing a remarkable run – if healthy – Sheets has it all but wrapped up. The focus now is Pringles 2,065 yards. With the Riders looking like a well-oiled machine comfortable using the Purdue product more than any other back in the league, that mark looks very attainable. Sheets biggest road block to the record could be if the Riders keep winning and he gets the late season rest treatment ahead of the playoffs. The CFL loves a record breaker and it looks like theyll have another one come November, or even late October. The Rouge asks: Will Kory Sheets break the single season CFL rushing record this year? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call. Tyler Ennis Jersey . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points.

"Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus.

Josh Gorges Sabres Jersey . In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers.Golf took another stand against video evidence Tuesday by announcing a new decision that would not penalize a player whose ball moves at rest if the movement is only detected by enhanced pictures. It was the second time in the last two years that the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient have established new guidelines involving video. The next edition of "Decisions on the Rules of Golf" effective Jan. 1 will include three new decisions, the most significant being 18/4. It says that when "enhanced technological evidence" shows that a ball moved, it will not be deemed to have moved if not "reasonably discernible to the naked eye at the time." The new decision did not stem from Tiger Woods being penalized two shots in the BMW Championship in September. His ball moved barely a dimple as he tried to remove a twig from in front of the ball. The movement was captured by a videographer, and the violation was detected by an editor going through the film. Even after watching video after his round, Woods said he thought the ball only oscillated. At the time, rules officials already had gone through multiple drafts of the new decision. Decision 18/4 instead was an offshoot of Decision 33-7/4.5 in 2011. Under that decision, officials can waive disqualification for an incorrect scorecard if a player was unaware of a rules violation. The example was Peter Hanson, who double-hit a chip shot. The violation was only detected through HDTV played in super slow-motion. Thomas Pagel, the USGAs senior director of rules and competition, said an example of Decision 18/4 would be a player addressing his ball in the rough, and only a camera zoomed in on the ball showed it moving fractionally based on the blades of grass around the ball. In that case, the player would have no idea it had moved. The "Decisions" are updated everyy two years.dddddddddddd The Rules of Golf are updated every four years. The latest decisions were part of a movement by the USGA and R&A to deal with increased advances in video technology. In a joint statement, they said the Rules of Golf committees continue to look at other issues related to video. That includes the precision in marking, lifting and replacing a golf ball; estimating where to take relief; and the appropriate penalty for returning an incorrect scorecard when the player was unaware of a violation. "As is true of the rules in many other televised sports, adapting to developments in technology and video evidence is an important ongoing topic in making and applying the Rules of Golf," the statement said. What remains unaffected is television viewers reporting potential violations. Golf officials say it is important to consider all evidence from any source. The only change is that a player might not be penalized if the only clear evidence is from enhanced video. The other chances to the 2014-15 edition of "Decisions:" --Decision 14-3/18 allows players to use smart phones to access weather reports. The new decision also clarifies that players are permitted access to information on the threat of an approaching storm for their own safety. --Decision 25-2/0.5 was revised to clarify when a golf ball is embedded. Officials have noticed an increased in tour players asking for relief, and a debate on whether the ball has broken through the soil. The revised decision will be accompanied by illustrations. --Decision 27-2a/1.5 was revised to allow players to go forward 50 yards without losing their right to return to play a provisional ball. The new edition of "Decisions" includes three new decisions and 59 revised decisions, while 24 decisions were taken out. Pagel said this done for the sake of clarity.
