The CFL has approved making pass interference subject to video review for the upcoming season. Nike Shox R4 Cartoon Mens Shoes Black/Gold . Coaches are now allowed to challenge both called and potential defensive pass interference fouls under certain conditions. "We are constantly looking for ways to make our great game even better and I believe we have done that today with the approval of this rule change," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. "Being progressive and using technology to compliment the excellent work our officials already do on the field is positive for our teams, players, and ultimately, our fans." The new rule now provides a team with the ability to use coaches challenges to review a called or potential pass interference foul up to the final three minutes of a game. In the final three minutes and overtime, a team can only challenge such a call or non-call once, and only if it still has an unused challenge and a timeout remaining. A coach must challenge to trigger a video review of a pass interference call or a potential pass interference call. They will not be subject to automatic review by the Command Centre. An unsuccessful challenge of a potential pass interference foul in the final three minutes will result in the loss of a timeout. An unsuccessful challenge of an actual pass interference call in the final minutes will not result in the loss of a timeout. The CFL is the first football league to subject pass interference to video review. The role of the Command Centre has also been expanded to automatically review specific turnovers of fumbles lost and interceptions, and can now detect illegal participation fouls during a play (when a player returns to the field after voluntarily leaving it). "We are very much looking forward to implementing the rule changes for the 2014 season now that we have received final approval from our Board," said Glen Johnson, CFL Vice President of Officiating. "We went through a very rigorous and inclusive process this off-season and we strongly believe that all of these rule changes will have a positive impact on our game." Other approved rule changes to further protect the health and safety of CFL players include: • Eliminating low blocks below the waist, other than those delivered to the front plane of a player, in all areas of the field except in the area between the tackles and two yards on either side of the line of scrimmage. • Outlawing peel back blocks, which occur when a play changes direction in the backfield, forcing the defender to modify his pursuit, making him susceptible to blind low blocks executed by an offensive player moving toward his own end zone. • Clarifying the rules that make it illegal to "deliver a blow" to an opponents neck or head, and when it is illegal for a player to use their helmet to hit an opponent, standards already followed by officials but not yet codified in the rule book. • Requiring an injured player to leave the field for three plays regardless of whether a penalty was called on the action leading to the injury (players currently have the option to stay in the game if a penalty was called on the play.) Other approved changes to promote scoring and improve the flow of the game include: • Allowing quarterbacks for each team to use their own team supplied Wilson footballs, provided they have met the "new ball" quality standard established by the league. • Allowing centres to bob their heads multiple times in an effort to signal timing of the snap of the ball (to be used by visiting teams coping with noise in stadium). • Allowing offences to further dictate the pace of play by no longer requiring the Head Referee to hold the 20 second clock for the defence to substitute.

Oddly enough, they were both chosen 17th overall in the June draft; Halladay in 1995 and Hamels in 2002. The player drafted immediately ahead of Halladay was pitcher Joe Fontenot by the San Francisco Giants. He was later one of three prospects traded to the Marlins for closer Robb Nen, who went on to save 206 games over the next five years before calling it a career with 314 total saves.

The Dutch were knocked from top spot despite winning two European Championship qualifiers, including an 11-0 victory over San Marino. Germany stays third and Uruguay rises to a best-ever fourth. ATLANTA -- Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens said Thursday he plans to see a specialist after an MRI on his ailing right knee showed a bone bruise. Jurrjens lingering soreness is another cause for concern for the Braves, who lead the NL wild-card race but have reason to worry about the health of two key starters. Right-hander Tommy Hanson has been on the disabled list since Aug. 7 with a sore right shoulder. An MRI last week showed a small tear in Hansons right rotator cuff that wont require surgery. Jurrjens spent two weeks on the DL last month with a right knee strain. He said the knee felt fine after he gave up six runs in a 9-2 loss to Washington on Tuesday night. He had the MRI on Wednesday. He had surgery on the same knee in October to repair a torn meniscus and opened this season on the disabled list with a right oblique strain. Jurrjens (13-6) is 1-3 with a 5.88 ERA in seven starts since the all-star break. He said Thursday he was trying to set up an appointment with orthopedic specialist Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo. "Its been bothering me off and on," Jurrjens said. "Early in the season, I was able to go out and pitch. But in the second half, the soreness got a little stronger. I was not able to push off the way Im supposed to. I want to try and get an answer." Jurrjens status for his scheduled start on Sunday against the Dodgers is uncertain. "Right now were going to see the doctor and well go from there," he said. "I want to attack this soon so I can come back soon, like before. Thats my goal: Take care oof it as early as I can. 2015 Mens Nike Roshe Run Oreo White Running Shoes. ... I want to solve this problem." Hanson has been cleared to begin rehabbing his shoulder. General manager Frank Wren said Hansons MRI showed only normal wear and tear. The Braves already have two rookies, Brandon Beachy and Mike Minor, in their rotation. Manager Fredi Gonzalez has said the team plans to recall another rookie, either Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado, from triple-A Gwinnett to start one game of a doubleheader at the Mets on Sept. 8. If Jurrjens joins Hanson on the disabled list, Tim Hudson and Derek Lowe could be joined by three rookies in the rotation. Also Thursday, the Braves recalled catcher J.C. Boscan and right-hander Anthony Varvaro from triple-A Gwinnett. Boscan had three hits in eight at-bats with Atlanta earlier this season. Varvaro had a 3.00 ERA in seven games. Infielder Jack Wilson, acquired from Seattle on Wednesday night for a player to be named and cash, joined the team Thursday night. Wilson is on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left heel and is eligible to be activated on Friday, one day earlier than the Braves reported on Wednesday. Left-hander Dustin Richardson was designated for assignment to make room for Wilson. Slumping left fielder Martin Prado, who hit only .219 in August, and first baseman Freddie Freeman were held out of Thursday nights starting lineup against Washington. Freeman has a sore right quadriceps muscle but says he is available to pinch-hit or play behind fill-in starter Eric Hinske. cheap nfl jerseyscheap jerseys ' ' '
