HAMILTON, Ont. -- Avon Cobourne and Kevin Glenn couldnt decide who was hotter in Hamiltons 44-21 Labour Day victory over the Montreal Alouettes. Cobourne, who rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns against his former teammates, said quarterback Kevin Glenn was "on fire". But Glenn was having none of that, responding, "He (Cobourne) was on fire. I touched him one time and burnt my hand. Thats what happened to my thumb." Glenn was referring to the moment he left the game briefly to get some work done on his throwing hand, but it didnt slow down his offence, which produced 390 yards of net offence in a balanced attack on the ground and in the air. "You tend to have a lot of success when you have a balanced attack," said the pivot who completed 14 of 18 passes to six receivers for 237 yards, one TD and no interceptions. "The offensive line did a good job and, like Ive said, him (Cobourne) running the ball helps me out a lot." It was all love in the Ticat dressing room after the huge win that was underlined by an even hotter defensive effort holding the Montreal offensive unit to just seven points -- two field goals and a single. The rest came off of Montreal defensive plays. The Hamilton effort was highlighted by a goal line stand in the final minute of the first half. Defensive back Stevie Baggs attributes the success against the best offence in the league to paying attention to the little things. "Weve been holding ourselves accountable to paying attention to detail and doing the small things right," he said. "Every game that weve let slip away this season, its been due to the lack of detail." Backup quarterback Quinton Porter added two TDs on the ground as Hamilton (5-4) moved into a tie for second spot in the East Division with Montreal (5-4). The Ticats now hold a two-game advantage in the head-to-head tiebreaker should it be needed to determine playoff seedings. The clubs meet in Montreal again next week and in October. Hamilton won the first meeting 34-26 at home on July 29. Maurice Mann caught Glenns touchdown for Hamilton, while receiver Chris Williams hauled in five passes for 108 yards. DeAudra Dix scored Montreals first touchdown on a fumble return on the games first play from scrimmage and fellow defensive back Dwight Anderson returned a Porter interception 50 yards for a TD with 4:45 left in the game. Montreal pivot Anthony Calvillo completed 17-of-30 attempts for 215 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Both quarterbacks left midway through the fourth with Hamilton in complete control. "They came to play and we didnt," said Calvillo. "It was a very embarrassing loss today. I dont whats going on but our offence right now, we cant win by just scoring six points. Its just unacceptable and weve got to get our act together." In a game where nothing seemed to go right for the Als, kicker Sean Whyte hit his first two field goal tries, both from 20 yards out, before Ivor Wynne Stadiums September breeze did him in. He missed a 33-yarder late in the third to end his streak at 24 straight field goals. Dave Ridgeway holds the CFL record with 28 back in 1993. Hamiltons Justin Medlock was 3-for-3 from 32, 48, and 37 yards. "I pushed it," said Whyte. "The wind was with me and I pushed it." Whyte said recent talk of the streak hadnt phased him. "It doesnt matter," he said. "Its part of my job. Im a professional and Ive got to deal with it." Penalties also played a big role. Montreal had 14 penalties for 151 yards, including a couple roughing-the-passer and an objectionable conduct, while Hamilton had two for 10 yards. The Ticat offence bounced back after spotting Montreal a touchdown on the games first play from scrimmage by fumbling the ball. They took a 27-13 lead into halftime as well as the momentum after their goal line stance in the waning seconds. Montreal faked a 34-yard field goal late in the second quarter but failed to get the first down. Cobourne then fumbled on the Ticats ensuing possession and Montreal got the ball back anyway on the Ticat 22. The Als had first down on the two-yard line in the final minute of play, but Hamiltons defence stood firm on the goal-line and Montreal came away with nothing off of three straight running plays. Glenn completed a 49-yard pass to Dave Stala who then flicked a lateral back to Mann who went out of bounds at the Montreal 41 midway through the third. But Glenn was injured on the play and he was replaced by Porter. Four plays later, Porter kept the ball and ran untouched up the middle for a 20-yard TD and the 34-13 lead. Glenn returned on the next possession and led a 73-yard scoring drive, aided by three Montreal penalties, including two for roughing the passer and one objectionable conduct. Cobourne ran it in from the seven-yard line for the 41-13 lead. Medlocks 37-yarder midway through the fourth made it 44-14, spelling the end for Calvillo as backup Adrian McPherson finished off the game. Porter came in for Glenn but was picked off by Anderson to round out the scoring. Things started out poorly for Hamilton. Glenn hit Mann around the Ticat 18 on the first play from scrimmage but the receiver had the ball forced out of his hand by Billy Parker. Dix recovered around the 10 and ran it in to give Montreal a 7-0 lead just 24 seconds into the game. Hamilton responded on its next possession with a 76-yard scoring drive set up by a 39-yard pass interference penalty against the Als that took the ball to the three-yard line. Cobourne drove it in on the very next play to tie it 7-7. Perry Floyds 40-yard punt return to the Hamilton 28-yard line then set up Whytes 20-yard field goal for the 10-7 Montreal lead. Shaken up by a sack on the previous possession, Glenn returned to the field to lead the Ticats 66 yards downfield, firing a 16-yard TD bullet to Mann on the goal-line with six seconds left in the first quarter to give Hamilton a 14-10 lead. Field goals made the score 17-13 late in the half before Medlock hit from 48 yards out and Porter scored his first touchdown from the one-yard line with 2:11 left on the clock. The score was set up by a 51-yard pass from Glenn to Chris Williams at the one-yard line. . A rare defeat for the worlds top player left his No. 1 ranking hanging by a thread.

Jerseys Cheap Basketball . -- The Colorado Rapids have turned around their season.GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The quiet of Rasheed Wallaces retirement in North Carolina was interrupted last spring by a call from an old coach. "Out of the blue, coach Woody called me like, Young fella, what are you doing?" Wallace said of Mike Woodson. "Im like, Uh, you know, just down here enjoying life, enjoying the summer, down here with my mom, taking it easy," Wallace recalled. "Thats all I was doing pretty much." Woodson had something else in mind. The Knicks coach wanted depth in his frontcourt and remembered the success he and Wallace had in Detroit on Larry Browns 2004 NBA championship team. So they were back together Wednesday -- an older, mellowed Wallace ending a two-year retirement to sign with the Knicks. "We have a good history coming from Detroit," Wallace said. "We won one together, so he asked me if I still want to play. I said, Ill come up there and see what I can do for you." Woodson isnt sure what that might be, using the term "only time will tell" at least three times when asked about Wallaces potential. But the Knicks were young and thin in the frontcourt last season, so he figures its wise to give the four-time All-Star a shot. "The fact that hes asked to come out of retirement and play, for me its great to give him a shot because I remember the good times," Woodson said. "I dont know if he still has it yet until he gets out here and he starts working and playing, but only time will tell." Wallace said he decided in late August after a few conversations with Woodson to attempt the comeback. He cited his respect for the laid-back Woodson, an assistant under Brown whom Wallace credited with calming down the player who once racked up 40 technical fouls in a season. The 38-year-old Wallace last played for the Boston Celtics in the 2009-10 season. TTerms of his contract were not announced, but the Knicks could offer only the veterans minimum of about $1.dddddddddddd7 million. Wallace averaged 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 15 seasons. The temperamental 6-foot-11 forward was whistled for 308 technical fouls, according to STATS, LLC, easily the most in the league during that span. He led the league seven times, including his final season. But with plenty of grey sprinkled in his hair, Wallace says his clashes with referees and the media are a thing of the past. "Im too old for that," Wallace said. "My kids are older now, so Im too old for that." The former North Carolina Tar Heel had returned to Chapel Hill, working out with college players and competing in pro-am leagues. He now takes his place with a group of reserves some 20 years older than the guys hes been around. Kurt Thomas turns 40 on Thursday, Jason Kidd is 39 and Marcus Camby also 38. Woodson isnt expecting Wallace to play a big role, and Wallace understands hes not coming to New York to have one. If he makes the team, hell back up centre Tyson Chandler and forward Amare Stoudemire, bringing his tough, interior defence and good perimeter shooting that made him such a versatile player. "This is not something thats definite," Woodson said. "Its an opportunity to look at him and see what he has left, and if he has something left I think it can be a positive for our ballclub." Wallace said he retired in 2010 for personal reasons and assumed it was for good. But he said those concerns were resolved, and hes eager to play again after not seriously considering it before Woodsons call. "Hes told me his ideas. Hes told me his plans, and I just want to see if I can fit in there somewhere," Wallace said. "Like they say: Get in where you fit in." cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
