Week 5 in the CFL saw the Blue Bombers earn their first win, the Argos finally win in Montreal, the Ticats win their third in a row and the B. Pat Angerer Jersey .C. Lions perform as Grey Cup champions beating Calgary in Calgary. And in all the players who played and moments that happened it was Steven Jyles, the Eskimos quarterback, who provided the greatest drama. Many that follow football want to see Steven Jyles do well, for the good of the league and for the fact that perhaps no other player has more pressure to perform than Jyles. As Ricky Rays incumbent the comparisons will be there all year and many will never be satisfied even if Jyles becomes an all-star. Jyles did not lose the game in Winnipeg, but he did prevent the Eskimos from the opportunity to win with his last play fumble. So what do you do? How do you handle a moment where all week your life revolves around a football error? It happened to Kevin Glenn two weeks ago against Montreal with his game losing interception and yes the Lions beat Calgary Saturday night, but you sense it is history now. Its not even a relevant topic. The only recourse you have is to recognize it, acknowledge it, and this is important, never repeat it. But how do you do that? If everybody always learned and never repeated mistakes, our society would be more advanced and efficient than ever before. In many ways, never repeating mistakes is a key to success and contentment. Well, my theory is that as much as we all have muscle memory, we also have mental muscle memory. Jyles as a quarterback should not avoid “the moment” that he fumbled and avoid the negative feeling, quite the opposite. He should watch it over and over and over. He should write down the game, the time, the date and everything he was thinking. He should talk about it and not necessarily say I will never do it again, too unpredictable. More along the lines of I am preparing never to do it again. When you avoid an unpleasant moment it almost always repeats. But when you review it, ask the all empowering question why?, there is an excellent chance that given the same set of circumstances in the near or distant future, your mental muscle memory will remind you not to repeat your previous action or inaction. If Jyles, or any football player for that matter, looks at mistakes as opportunities to avoid in the future, I cant say all the time, but often they will not repeat. I remember about two years ago, maybe three, Travis Lulay for B.C. threw an interception to then Argo Byron Parker and it was returned for a touchdown. I remember thinking Lulay will learn and never repeat. I thought that after seeing the emotional stress he was feeling on the sidelines just moments after. Jyles had a Lulay moment. Next time he is running for yards, what happened in Winnipeg on Thursday of last week will flash in his mind and he, Steven Jyles, will protect the football before any further yards have been gained. The memory of the fumble in the Edmonton game will charge forward in his brain at just the right time. Not sure how or why it happened, but both good and bad thoughts in memory can be used to create and avoid at just the right time. But you have to put them in there so you can use them later. Often the people who are the most successful people in their chosen occupation are that way because they went through difficult times or adversity and remembered it, did not avoid it but relived it over and over and over again. And by doing so the incident (fumble) is locked in the brain for future use. But first you have to use it, rather than it using you. From Week 1 to Week 5, Jyles is improving, and becoming a better passer and a better leader. As the season moves on he has to continue to improve. Make the mistake work for you and if you do, it will never be seen again, if you dont… it will. Dwight Freeney Jersey . Coach Nick Sabans squad completed yet another in a long line of superb seasons by dominating fellow SEC power LSU, 21-0, in the BCS National Championship Game last January. It was Alabamas second national title in the last three years, and with that kind of success comes heightened expectations, as well as the full attention of every challenger seeking to dethrone the reigning champs. Reggie Wayne Jersey . But considering how much the Miami Marlins are struggling, maybe its not all that surprising. “Its just a tough time right now for me and a lot of people,” Nolasco said. http://www.nikeindianapoliscoltsproshop.com/andrew-luck-jersey . Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says he wishes the 21-year-old forward well, “but he needs to improve and this is a change I have to make.” Balotelli wasted several chances in the first half of Italys 1-1 draw with Croatia on Thursday, appearing hesitant in front of goal. Andrew Luck Jersey . Quesne finished with four straight birdies to lead at 9 under. Danny Willett of England shot a second straight 67 to trail the leader. Fog delayed the start at the Crans-sur-Sierre club, and poor visibility ended play with two groups still to finish their rounds. Robert Mathis Jersey . “I dont think hed cheat,” said former journeyman catcher Charlie OBrien, who caught Clemens games for much of the 1997 season with the Toronto Blue Jays. OBrien portrayed Clemens as such a stickler that hed refuse to throw scuffed baseballs because he considered it cheating.ASHBURN, Va. —The Washington Redskins have placed their franchise tag on tight end Fred Davis, who was suspended by the NFL for the last four games of last season for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.
