Jon Cornish is having the best season of any running back in the CFL this year; that much is obvious. . His lead in the rushing title race is more than 200 yards, he leads the league in rushing touchdowns with nine, and hes helped the Calgary Stampeders stay in contention all year long despite the loss of their starting quarterback, Drew Tate, in the second week of the season. A lot can change during the final five weeks heading into the playoffs, but if Cornish puts up even average numbers over that span, hell be a lock as a CFL All-Star. Average numbers will also likely garner the Canadian RB some consideration for the leagues Most Outstanding Player award, a race hes currently right in the thick of. But if Cornish keeps putting up the tremendous numbers that he has for most of this season – and theres no reason to believe he cant – how, then, will we look back at his 2012 performance? Forget the All-Star nod, and maybe even the MOP consideration, where would Cornishs season rank among the all-time great years by a Canadian RB? Coming on the heels of yet another great performance – 180 yards and two TDs on 20 carries – now is a good time to ponder the 27-year-olds season to date, and ask where his impact ranks among the all-time great Canadian backs. Through 13 games Cornish has rushed for 1,127 yards, already the fifth-most yards ever accumulated by a Canadian in a single season. Barring injury, the Stamps back is on pace for a 1,560-yard season, a number that would put him squarely in the Normie Kwong realm, as rarified air as there is for a non-import back. Kwong, the former Edmonton Eskimos great, is current owner of the top two rushing seasons by a Canadian, amassing 1,437 yards in 1956 and 1,250 in 1955. In fact, the only four seasons by a Canadian RB better than Cornishs through 13 games all came in a three-year period from 1955-57. In the past 50 years, the closest any Canadian has come to Cornishs totals are Orville Lee (1988) and Jerome Messam (2011) – neither of whom surpassed 1,100 yards. And while Kwongs record-setting numbers were accomplished in a 16-game season (Cornishs 16-game pace would have him fall just short of Kwongs best season, at 1,387 yards), its important to note that he did it in an era when the "forward pass" was much less prevalent in CFL offences than it is today. All that said, The Rouge asks: Can Cornish surpass Kwongs historic single-season numbers, and should his accomplishments this season – and in this era – be considered superior? As always, its Your!

It will be tough to top last seasons unpredictable, breath-taking campaign, capped off by the final day dramatics seeing Manchester City win Englands top flight for the first time in 44 years. PARIS -- His big lead over Novak Djokovic in Sundays drenched French Open final slipping away, Rafael Nadal tossed a soaked, clay-smeared tennis ball toward the chair umpire. A drizzle was now a downpour, making the balls heavy, the clay court slippery and changing the complexion of a match with so much at stake: Djokovics bid to become the first man in 43 years to win four consecutive Grand Slam titles, and Nadals attempt to become the first man to win seven titles at the tournament. Moments later, play was suspended with the No. 2-seeded Nadal trying to protect a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Djokovic, whos seeded No. 1. A tarp was pulled over the court, and after another hour or so, the decision was made to stop for the day. You can watch the conclusion of the final right now on TSN. Yes, this French Open already has made history, but not for a reason that was expected: Its the first time since 1973 that the tournament at Roland Garros didnt conclude on a Sunday. This sort of thing is becoming a regular occurrence at tennis top tournaments: The U.S. Open mens final has been postponed from Sunday to Monday each of the past four years because of rain. Unlike at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, neither the French Open nor U.S. Open has an indoor court available for tournament play; there is a plan to have a retractable roof in Paris five years from now. Nadal and Djokovic were scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET) on Monday, when the forecast calls for intermittent rain. NBC, which aired Sundays action, said Mondays U.S. TV coverage will shift to NBC Sports Network, a cable channel in about 35 million fewer homes than the broadcast network. Toni Nadal, Rafaels uncle and coach, said he thought action should have been suspended earlier Sunday because "the court was too wet." After the Nadals left the premises for the evening, Djokovic followed, pausing to chat with Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol in the players lounge. Not surprisingly, Djokovics mood was considerably better than it was during the second set, when he was unable to counter Nadals clay-court brilliance. Already down a set and serving at 3-3, 30-15 in the second, Djokovic sailed two forehands long to hand a break point to Nadal, who converted by ending an 18-shot exchange with a forehand winner down the line. Djokovic lowered his head, shook it, and slapped his thigh. Arriving at the changeover, he cranked hiis racket and whacked his green sideline bench, sending a chunk of the furniture flying; a ballkid ran out on court to gather the debris.

The impact was as loud as a metal door slamming shut, and spectators jeered and whistled, a derisive reaction that grew louder when Djokovic walked back out on court for the next game. A game later, with Nadal ahead 5-3, the matchs first rain delay arrived. When play resumed about 35 minutes later -- with a fully intact replacement bench for Djokovic -- Nadal quickly wrapped up the second set by breaking with a full-sprint, cross-court backhand passing winner, then charged to a 2-0 lead in the third. That made Nadal 20 for 20 in sets over the tournaments two weeks, and the title appeared near. But Djokovic is not the type to go quietly. This is a guy, dont forget, who saved two match points against 16-time major champion Roger Federer in last years U.S. Open semifinals, then saved four more against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the quarter-finals in Paris. So right when all seemed lost for him, Djokovic grabbed the momentum and wouldnt let go. He began hitting out more, trying to end points quickly, and it worked. For 50 rub-your-eyes minutes that were sublime for Djokovic and ridiculous for Nadal, the Serb took eight consecutive games to collect the third set and open the fourth 2-0. Clearly, Djokovic dealt much better with the conditions -- consistent, heavy rain that left both men using their rackets to knock caked clay from the soles of their shoes. Sliding on the court was tougher. Nadal couldnt apply his usual heavy topspin on shots. Normally unflappable, particularly at his favourite tournament, the Spaniard began to gesture and mutter between points. Finally, Nadal put a stop to Djokovics run by holding serve to win a game that made it 2-1 in the fourth set. Thats when the second delay began, after 3 hours of playing time. They did not return to the court; when the postponement was announced to the remaining fans in the stands, some responded with boos. Tournament referee Stefan Fransson said Djokovic told him the court was slippery, and Nadal was "not happy" while pointing out his complaints about the balls. Nadal and Djokovic will return Monday, surely hoping theyre not subjected to what happened 39 years ago, the last time the French Open stretched beyond Sunday: Ilie Nastases victory over Nikki Pilic in the 1973 final ended on Tuesday.
