As TSN heads into the 100th Grey Cup Playoffs and towards the 100th Grey Cup, the network welcomes a new member to its CFL ON TSN broadcast team with the addition of former CFL head coach Paul LaPolice as a guest analyst. . LaPolice, who was the head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for two seasons, will work alongside CFL ON TSN host Dave Randorf and analysts Chris Schultz, Matt Dunigan, Jock Climie, and Milt Stegall for the remainder for the CFL season. He makes his television debut this week and will be featured on the CFL on TSN panel and in a new Coaches Playbook segment breaking down plays. LaPolice will also break down the action from a coachs perspective on SportsCentre throughout the 100th Grey Cup Playoffs and the 100th Grey Cup. "Pauls intimate knowledge of the CFL makes him an intriguing and entertaining addition to the CFL ON TSN as the league heads into the post-season," said Mark Milliere, Senior Vice-President, Production, TSN. "Having been on the sidelines with many of the CFLs top players, Paul brings his insight as a former coach to all of the action that will unfold during the playoffs and in the 100th Grey Cup on TSN." "Im extremely excited to join the CFL on TSN and be a part of the team broadcasting the historic 100th Grey Cup," said LaPolice. "The fact that anything can happen in the playoffs is what makes the next few weeks in the CFL so interesting – and fans will definitely be in for some thrilling games and a few surprises." A football coach with 20 years of experience, LaPolice became the 28th head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2010. In 2011, LaPolice led the Bombers to a first-place finish in the East Division – marking the first time that the team had won its division in 10 years – and to the 99th Grey Cup. LaPolice was also named a finalist for CFL Coach of the Year for the 2011 season. Prior to being named Winnipegs head coach, LaPolice was part of the coaching staff for the Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and Saskatchewan Roughriders. As a member of the Roughriders, LaPolice coached in two Grey Cups, winning the championship with the team in 2007. A native of Nashua, NH, LaPolice spent seven years in the U.S. college ranks with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the University of New Hampshire, Western Connecticut State, and Maine Maritime Academy before joining the CFL in 2000.

After finalizing a $10 million, two-year contract with Kevin Correia on Thursday, general manager Terry Ryan acknowledged theres no guarantee the right-hander will strengthen the group. Ryan said hes still looking for candidates after casting a wide net at last weeks winter meetings. .J. -- The lockout-shortened 48-game season hasnt started and the New Jersey Devils are already looking goals.

"I wasnt expecting him to do that, obviously," Bostons new starting goalie said Thursday at a charity event. [url=http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-datone-jones-jersey-lf-... Jones Jersey . This week they discussed the punishment for Brandon Isaac, the eventual expansion draft, and Kevin Glenns time remaining as the Stampeders starter. . -- Compare what was said Wednesday by Robert Griffin III and Mike Shanahan. WASHINGTON -- Before his NBA-worst, one-win Washington Wizards took on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat, coach Randy Wittman gathered his team for a heart-to-heart. "I told the guys ... The only people that think you have a chance tonight are the people here in this room," Wittman recounted. The prevailing wisdom, Wittman told his players, was that they "aint got a chance to win this game, and thats what people were saying. We all listen. Could hear it on the street and all that. These guys, it bothers them." Well, to pretty much everyones surprise, the Wizards doubled their season victory total, beating the Heat 105-101 on Tuesday night behind Jordan Crawfords 22 points -- and despite James triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. "Im so happy for those guys," said Wittman, who called this perhaps the most satisfying victory of his coaching career. The Wizards improved to 2-13, earning their second win in the past three games after starting a franchise-worst 0-12. "Its a big momentum win for us, obviously. Weve been struggling to put together four quarters," Washington point guard Shaun Livingston said. The Heat, meanwhile, began the day with a six-game winning streak and a 12-3 record, tied for the leagues best winning percentage at .800. Afterward, with his feet soaking in a tub of ice, and his eyes scanning a box score, James chuckled a bit at the notion that Miami might learn something from the surprising setback. "Nah, man, theres not no lesson. This aint a lesson for us. We just lost," James explained. "Weve seen and been through everything, so we dont need a loss to be like, Oh, lets catch ourselves. It happens." He missed a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left that could have given the Heat a lead, and another from beyond the arc that would have tied the score with 3.9 to go. Yes, the Heat were the ones rushing shots on occasion and they made only 8 of 28 attempts on 3-pointers. The Wizards, surprisingly, were the ones being patient, making the extra pass, finding the teammate with an open look -- and finishing with 31 assists on 38 baskets. "You move on," said Wade, who scored 24. "You learn from it, but you dont become a good team by holdding onto certain losses -- or certain wins.

" With a crowd of 17,761 -- not, incidentally, a sellout -- standing and screaming down the stretch, relishing that rare chance to witness a compelling game, Kevin Seraphin contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts, while Crawford made three free throws in the final 11 seconds. "It basically just shows how good of a team we are. How good we can be," Crawford said. "Thats the main thing." Actually, the Wizards are world-beaters when it comes to facing the Heat: This made it three consecutive regular-season victories for Washington over Miami, including two last season in April. "We have to own it right now, not just brush it off that its a game we let go," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Because we didnt put ourselves in the best position to give ourselves an opportunity to win." Unlike the James-Wade-Bosh Heat, the Wizards are mostly a collection of castoffs and high draft picks who never lived up to their billing -- or have yet to, anyway. Their best player, 2010 No. 1 overall pick John Wall, has yet to participate in a practice, let alone play, this season because of a left knee cap injury. Before the game, Wittman said he cant give an idea of when Wall will be available. Afterward, Wittman was in a far better mood. "That was a complete game for us, start to finish," he said. "Ill be able to sleep tonight." NOTES: Heat G Mario Chalmers sat out the fourth quarter with a jammed finger. ... Wizards F Trevor Ariza left in the third quarter with a strained left calf and was limping in the locker room afterward. He was fitted with a walking boot. ... Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, who helped his team beat the reigning Super Bowl champion New York Giants 17-16 a night earlier, drew raucous cheers when he arrived at his courtside seat Tuesday. James was asked whether RG3s vow to transform the basketball star into a Redskins fan could succeed. "No. But Im a fan of his, though. Hes an unbelievable talent. I like to watch him play," James said. ... Wittman went with his fifth different starting lineup this season. ... The Heat were without Shane Battier (right knee) and Norris Cole (strained groin).
