(STATS) -- Penn safety Sam Philippi was named the Ivy Leagues defensive player of the week on Monday, and that wasnt the best news he received this week. Kevin Johnson Texans Jersey .Woffords Dave Howerton is this weeks special teams player of the week in the Southern Conference, yet hes content with missing at least the next two weeks of the season.Each player hopes to help a person whos in need of a bone marrow transplant. Through the Be The Match bone marrow donor registry drive, they are donating bone marrow for the life-saving treatment for people with leukemia, lymphoma and many other types of diseases and blood disorders.Philippi, a sophomore from Coto de Caza, California, was honored by the Ivy League for a key interception in last Saturdays win at Brown, and then he learned this week hes been found to be a match after participating in Penns bone marrow registry in March.

But its not just affecting him. Its affecting his family and the people around him. I cant let them down. Its a blessing. Its not something Im worried about (doing). Whatever I might have to go through, its nothing compared to what theyre dealing with. Its a chance Im willing to take.Howerton, a senior from Asheville, North Carolina, registered during a drive at Wofford in the spring. Doctors discovered he was a match, and he anonymously donated bone marrow on Monday -- the same day he was honored by the Southern Conference for blocking a punt and recovering it in the end zone for a touchdown in last Saturdays win over Mercer.It was a long process, but I knew that I was doing the right thing, Howerton said.

Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. http:///...-Jersey.html?cat=932 . -- Peyton Manning will have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.Detroit Red Wings super star, Pavel Datsyuk owned the 2013 TSN NHL Play of the Year Showdown Championship match, literally. It was an all-Datsyukian final, with two fantastic plays going head-to-head for the title. In the end, it was Datsyuks end-to-end dangle through almost every Nashville player on the ice that captured the title. On the winning play, Datsyuk showcases his hands, vision and perseverance. He starts by throwing a solid hit in his own defensive zone and retreiving the loose puck, and by the time this play is over, Datsyuk makes every single Nashville player on the ice look silly. Datsyuks winning play was able to beat a stellar individual effort by New York Islander forward Michael Grabner, an incredible play that saw Floridas Shawn Matthias muscle and dive his way to the net, and a dazzling display of hand-eye coordination by Edmontons Magnus&nbbsp;Paajarvi. C.J. Fiedorowicz Texans Jersey. But it was the semi final match-up against a showstopper of a save by the Blues Jake Allen that really brought the drama. As this match neared its conclusion, the Detroit Red Wings were Tweeting and firing off message on Facebook nearly every minute in an attempt to rally the fans, thanking them personally for their support when fans tweeted their votes. It was this last-minute push by the team, which saw Datsyuk mount an incredible, last minute comeback and squeek out the victory by .5% over Allen. Thanks to all the fans for taking the time to watch the plays and vote, thanks to the teams for getting involved and rallying around their players, and thanks to the players for making such oustanding, highlight-reel plays. See you next year. Last years TSN NHL Play of the Year Showdown winner was Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
