Jamie Langenbrunner USA Jersey . The kind he
has every so often. The kind he has when Dwyane Wade sits. James scored 43
points -- 25 in a bewildering first-quarter shooting display -- and Chris Bosh
added 21, leading the Miami Heat to a 100-96 win Tuesday night over the
Cleveland Cavaliers, who played their first game without injured All-Star guard
Kyrie Irving.
Brian Rafalski USA Jersey . MacLean clocked

Tabitha Baumann of Ottawa -- second in 8:32.37 -- both went under the qualifying
standard to be nominated to the Commonwealth Games and Pan Pacific
teams.VANCOUVER - A record-setting season earned Solomon Elimimian a piece of
CFL history Thursday night.The B.C. Lions linebacker was named the leagues
outstanding player, the first pure defensive performer to receive its highest
individual accolade. The six-foot, 227-pound Elimimian also captured top
defensive player honours during the CFL awards banquet at the Queen Elizabeth
Theatre.And for good reason. Elimimian, the 2010 CFL top rookie, posted 143
defensive tackles and 151 total tackles, both CFL records, and added five sacks.
Elimimian, 28, registered the double in voting conducted by 53 members of the
Football Reporters of Canada and the nine CFL head coaches.Man, I couldnt sleep,
I was so nervous thinking about my speech, thinking about what I need, said
Elimimian, who was up at 4 a.m. on Thursday. Its nerve-wracking because its
something thats uncharted.Winning an award is great but something of this
magnitude I probably wont fully comprehend, fully appreciate until later on. Its
unbelievable.In his acceptance speech, Elimimian paid tribute to former Lions
head coach Mike Benevides, who was in attendance, and invited teammates and
family up on stage with him. And when Elimimian received the top defensive
player award, he also recognized his presenter, five-time winner Willie Pless.
Willie is the man, Elimimian said. I think its important to understand the guys
whove paved the way for you.When you come to the CFL you have to look at a guy
like Willie Pless, who has won (top) defensive player five times in a row. Who
can say theyve done that? Im glad I was able to meet him.While this season was
Elimimians most productive it was also an emotionally draining one. With each
passing week, the Lions linebacker said he felt the heavy weight of expectation
regarding the outstanding player award.I dont think people understand how
mentally difficult it was every week to go out there and perform, he said. In a
sport like football playing the position I play it was tough and the more and
more we kept going the more pressure there was.It was the most emotional season
Ive had in my whole career.And Elimimian had some bad news for opposing
offences: Hes not reached his peak yet.I just feel like mentally Im starting to
come into my own, he said. My thing was I knew I was going to dominate every
game, it was just about how much I was going to dominate.Elimimian earned the
outstanding player award by a 48-14 margin over Toronto Argonauts quarterback
Ricky Ray. Despite requiring off-season shoulder surgery, Ray, 35 was the CFLs
passing leader with 4,595 yards and 28 touchdowns.Ray was also a finalist to
Calgarys Jon Cornish for the award last year.Elimimian secured the top defensive
player by a 58-4 margin over Montreal Alouettes linebacker Bear Woods, the CFLs
second-leading tackler with 89.Cornish didnt come away empty-handed, capturing
his third straight top Canadian award by a 50-12 margin over defensive lineman
Ted Laurent of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Cornish led the CFL in rushing with
1,082 yards despite playing only nine regular-season games.Cornish became the
second three-time winner, joining former Ottawa star Tony Gabriel in that
exclusive group.Hes truly a remarkablee Canadian, Cornish said of Gabriel.
Blake Wheeler USA Jersey. Im pretty happy to
be compared to him.Laurent recorded a career-best nine sacks for Hamilton, which
faces Calgary on Sunday in the Grey Cup game at B.C. Place Stadium.The other
individual award winners included Toronto kicker/punter Swayze Waters
(special-teams player), Calgary centre Brett Jones (top lineman) and Edmonton
Eskimos linebacker Dexter McCoil (rookie).Veteran Calgary long-snapper Randy
Chevrier captured the Tom Pate award for outstanding community service while
Toronto linebacker James Yurichuk received the Jake Gaudaur Veteran Trophy.Mark
Cohon presented the Commissioners award to Ottawa Redblacks owners Roger
Greenberg, Jeff Hunt, John Pugh, John Ruddy and Bell Shenkman for returning the
CFL to the Canadian capital. Saskatchewan Roughriders president Jim Hopson
received the Hugh Campbell Distinguished Leadership award for his contributions
to the CFL.Waters, 27, earned the special-teams award by a 51-11 margin over
Lirim Hajrullahu of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Waters season began tragically as
his best friend, Tait Hendrix, died in a motorcycle accident during training
camp. Waters wore No. 34 — Hendrixs high school number — this year and dedicated
the 14 season to Hendrixs memory.I wanted to do it to honour him, honour our
friendship, said Waters. He was the kind of guy who lived life to the fullest
every day.I hope I did him proud.The six-foot, 180-pound Waters led the CFL in
scoring (192 points), field goals tried (52), made (47), punting (47.7 yards)
and kickoffs (65.2 yards). Hajrullahu enjoyed a solid rookie campaign, making
40-of-46 field goals (87 per cent) while posting a 43.8-yard punting average
63.5-yard kickoff average.Jones was honoured for a second straight year after
being named the CFLs top rookie in 2013. The six-foot-two, 318-pound Jones, a
23-year-old native of Weyburn, Sask., earned the top lineman honour by a 41-21
margin over Jeff Perrett of the Montreal Alouettes.Jones played all 18
regular-season games with Calgary and anchored an offensive line that allowed a
league-low 26 sacks. The Stampeders also averaged a CFL-best 144 yards rushing
per game but Jones feels he can continue to improve.I just know theres a lot of
areas I can keep getting better, he said. Thats why I keep coming to work every
day. McCoil was the top rookie by a 48-14 margin over Toronto defensive lineman
Tristan Okpalaugo. McCoil, 23, scored three defensive TDs this season and also
finished tied for the league lead in interceptions with six and had a team-high
67 tackles. But McCoil accepted the award with a heavy heart as Wednesday he
attended his 58-year-old grandmothers funeral. McCoil was planning to bring her
to Thursdays awards banquet but she died Nov. 18.She was the rock of the family,
he said. I lived with her for a year and a half in high school and I learned a
lot from her.I lost my grandfather when I was a freshman in college (Tulsa) so I
was pretty much that person she looked to. I used to talk to her the day before
games and my mom on the day of games. Im not sure what I will do now.Okpalaugo
also had an impressive first year in the CFL with a team-high 12 sacks for
Toronto.
