Greg Battle was in on some goal-line stands and he pulled one off again on Friday holding off a surge of votes to be named the linebacker on All-Time Bombers Team by the slimmest of margins. Doug McDermott Jersey . Battle was chosen as the top linebacker by voters taking part in the Winnipeg Free Press/TSN 1290 All-Time Bombers Team selection process. “Really? That’s awesome. That’s quite a list of guys and I was honoured just be on it,” said Battle, when reached Friday afternoon. “The guys I played with were all special and had unique talents. Playing with them was the highlight of my career.” With a brilliant list of candidates; Battle, Tyrone Jones, James West, Paul Randolph and Phil Minnick the voting was very tight. Battle led heading into Friday’s final hours of voting but Jones and West supporters pushed very hard late into the afternoon to try and get their men over the top. But Battle, the CFL’s top defensive player in 1990 and 1991 and the Bombers all-time leader in tackles and fumble returns, won out. Battle was instrumental in two Grey Cup wins for the Bombers in 1988 and 1990. At the time of his retirement, Battle sat third in the CFL for career defensive tackles with 766 and was chosen the Western Division outstanding defensive player three times (1989, 1990 and 1991). The Arizona State University product was named the Grey Cup’s defensive MVP in 1990, with four tackles and two interceptions, returning one for a 56-yard touchdown in a 50-11 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos. Battle was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2007. Voting began Monday and fans were given the choice of five linemen as chosen by the All-Time Blue Bombers Team panel, comprising legendary coach Bud Grant, former player and GM Paul Robson, Hall of Fame football writer Ed Tait, Andrew (Hustler) Paterson from TSN 1290 and myself.

He will be practicing with the Norfolk Admirals (AHL) on a conditioning assignment. - @AnaheimDucks Corey Perry has a knee sprain and will miss the next three to four weeks. Kevin Durant Jersey . -- Thirty years ago, the Detroit Pistons beat the Denver Nuggets 186-184 in triple overtime, a game that remains the highest scoring in NBA history.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tony Romo hasnt taken a snap in a game since he played through a back injury to lead a drive that kept Dallas in playoff contention late last season. The 34-year-old quarterback has eased his way back in since surgery to repair a herniated disk, staying out of competitive situations during the off-season and taking frequent days off at training camp. Romo wont play long in the Cowboys preseason home opener against Baltimore on Saturday night, but he will be the starter after skipping the first exhibition game last week in San Diego. He led the offence in two joint practices with Oakland this week. Dallas broke camp in California on Friday. "I felt like this was a big week for Tony," tight end Jason Witten said. "I felt like this was a really big week for our team and felt hes done a really great job setting the tempo for us." Romo finished a winning drive after the injury to beat Washington last December but had to watch from home when the Cowboys lost to Philadelphia with a playoff berth on the line. He gets his first chance to run the offence with new play-caller Scott Linehan. It will be Joe Flaccos second game with first-year Ravens offensive co-ordinator Gary Kubiak. He brings the West Coast offence to coach John Harbaughs staff after being fired in the middle of last season with the Texans on their way to 14 straight losses after a 2-0 start. Linehan and Kubiak had strong debuts last week. Romo backup Brandon Weeden completed 13 of 17 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, while Flacco led an 80-yard scoring drive in his only possession against San Francisco. And Linehan should have several more toys to play with after Witten, running back DeMarco Murray and receiver Dez Bryant sat against the Chargers. He also seems to think a lot of Murrays backup, Lance Dunbar. The 2012 undrafted free agent was a healthy scratch in San Diego along with the stars, so the Ravens game will bbe his first under Linehan as well. Russell Westbrook Jersey. . "He has a really good way of finding what his players do well and highlighting them and featuring them and also attacking maybe some matchups," coach Jason Garrett said. "Weve always tried to do that. The transition has been really smooth for us." It will be Kubiaks second game with running back Ray Rice, who had three carries for 17 yards against San Francisco. Rice will miss the first two games of the regular season after being suspended following his arrest for domestic violence. "John and I talked about what he wanted to be on the offensive side of the ball, but we havent spent any time talking about what happened last year," Kubiak said. "Everybody has bought into what were doing. We have to go take another step this week." Linebacker Rolando McClain is expected to make his Dallas debut against the Ravens after Baltimore traded him for a late-round pick before training camp. The Cowboys are trying to replace middle linebacker Sean Lee, who tore a knee ligament in the off-season and is out for the year. McClain never played for the Ravens, twice retiring after they picked him up when Oakland gave up on the former top 10 pick after three seasons. "He just needs to play," coach Jason Garrett said. "He needs to keep coming out here and practicing well and understand what were asking him to do from a defensive standpoint. Gain the trust of his teammates and coaches." Both defences have work to do. While the Cowboys struggled to stop the Chargers, the Ravens let the 49ers march to a field goal on Colin Kaepernicks only drive. Because of injuries, Baltimores focus is on the defensive line and secondary. "We have to start faster now," defensive co-ordinator Dean Pees said. "I think we were a little hyped up because there were a couple times where we ran up field on a running play and the ball gashed us."
