SACKVILLE, N.B. -- Pascal Lochard carried the Laval Rouge et Or to their fourth-straight Vanier Cup. Lochard scored three touchdowns and rushed for 107 yards as Laval downed the Mount Allison Mounties 48-21 on Saturday to win the Uteck Bowl, Eastern Canadas university football championship. Lochards first two TDs gave Laval a 14-0 lead. The Rouge et Or would add to that, building a 21-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. "It wasnt our best performance of the season. After a great start, we made way too many mental mistakes, especially in the third quarter," said Laval head coach Glen Constantin, who felt the need to address his team on the sidelines early in the fourth quarter. "We went back to the basics in the fourth and had a few good drives. Well have to play better next week." Laval won Quebecs football championship, while the Mounties were the Atlantic conferences title holders. The Rouge-et-Or are the first team in Canadian Interuniversity Sport history to advance to four straight Vanier Cups. Alex Skinner completed 18-of-26 passes including two touchdown strikes to Maxime Boutin and Guillaume Rioux for Laval. Boutin was dominant, receiving for a total of 105 yards and rushing for another 163. "Were very happy with the win, especially since this was the first Bowl victory in the Maritimes in three tries for our program," said Rioux. "Were excited to go back to the show and defend our title at home." Rioux also scored on a punt return and the Rouge et Or had three team safeties. Kicker Boris Bede was six for six on conversions. Lavals dominance overshadowed a strong performance by Mount Allison QB Brandon Leyh, who completed 22-of-36 passes and had three touchdowns and 260 yards. Leyh connected with receivers Troy Trentham, Josh Blanchard and Stu Moore for the Mounties TDs. Kyle McLean converted all three extra points. Joe Namath Jets Jersey . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. Authentic Nick Mangold Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. http://www.thejetsshoponline.com/Youth-Matt-Forte-...ts-Jers ey/ .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. Darrelle Revis Jets Jersey . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Authentic Christian Hackenberg Jersey . Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs.Once the Blue Jays had made their mega-trades with Miami and the Mets a year ago and signed free agents Melky Cabrera and Maicer Izturis, they became the darlings of Las Vegas. With the World Series over and Boston winning its third title since 2004, the odds are already out for next year on various gaming sites and on Vegas.com, the Blue Jays have literally gone from first to worst in the AL East. This year they are listed at 40-1. Granted, making predictions when teams havent really done any serious off-season retooling yet is ludicrous. Nevertheless, Boston is again favoured in the East at 12-1, followed by the Yankees at 16-1, Tampa Bay at 18-1 and Baltimore at 25-1. Interesting that Arizona, the Phillies and the White Sox, who only won 61 games this season are also pegged at (40-1). By the way, the Red Sox are only ranked fifth to repeat as World Series champs. The four teams listed ahead of them are the favoured Los Angeles Dodgers at 5-1, Detroit Tigers and Washington Nationals at 8-1 and St. Louis Cardinals at 10-1. The longest of longshots are Minnesota, Miami and the New York Mets at 100-1. Bang For Their Buck The Red Sox signed seven free agents last off-season. For somewhere in the neighbourhood of $60 million, they landed rightfielder Shane Victorino, first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli, leftfielder Jonny Gomes, shortstop Stephen Drew, back-up catcher David Ross, righthander Ryan Dempster and set-up reliever turned star closer Koji Uehara. They didnt have to commit to ridiculous long-term contracts, they basically struck gold with five of those signings and all seven were worth the investment. The Blue Jays on the other hand, partly through injuries, struck out on both their free agents, Melky Cabrera and Maicer Izturis. Boston could lose Napoli and Drew as free agents in the off-season, but that doesnt diminish the job GM Ben Cherington did. Hes s shoo-in for Executive of the Yeaar.dddddddddddd Something Special The World Series clincher at Fenway really was something special. It was the BoSox eighth Fall Classic title, but only the third time they have won the deciding game at Fenway (1912 - the season the Park opened and they beat the New York Giants in eight games, 1918 - when they defeated the Chicago Cubs, 2013 - with a six-game victory over St. Louis). In 1915 and 1916, the Red Sox beat the Phillies and Brooklyn, at home in the clinchers, but those games were played at the home of Bostons National League club, since the seating capacity at Braves field was much larger than Fenway. Loss Leader If you think the Blue Jays had a terrible season, consider this: Chicago has two teams and they both finished with worse records. The White Sox wound up at 63-99, while the Cubs finished at 66-96. Thats a combined total of 195 losses. That breaks the all-time combined Chicago club mark of 191 losses set back in 1948. What About Jimenez? Here is an interesting free agent pitching possibility for the Blue Jays. Righthander Ubaldo Jimenez who, at the age of 29, seems to have his career back on the rails, rejected his $8 million contract option for next season with Cleveland and has opted to become a free agent. Cleveland can still make him a one-year qualifying offer of around $14 million by Monday. If they do, Jimenez has six days to decline or accept. If he declines and becomes a free agent, any team signing him would lose a first round draft pick. Jimenez bounced back from a 17-loss season, to go 13-9 this season with a 3.30 ERA. He also struck out 13 Twins in the Wild Card clincher that put the Indians back in the post-season for the first time since 2007. In his six years as an established starter in the Majors, he has thrown at least 175 innings every season and has broken 200 innings twice. He has also struck out at least 172 in five of those six years. On a two- or three-year deal, he might be worth the risk.
