Jon Cornish is having the best season of any running back in the CFL this year; that much is obvious. Authentic Manning Jersey . 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! Call. Authentic Peyton Manning Jersey . Watch live on TSN and CTVOlympics.ca at 2:30pm et/11:30am pt. In front of what is expected to be both a packed and partisan crowd at City of Coventry Stadium in Coventry, England, Canada will attempt to advance farther in this tournament than they did when they made their debut at the Beijing 2008 Games and were eliminated in the quarters by the eventual champion United States. Manning Elite Jersey . Gee shook off the rough patch in an otherwise strong outing, Lucas Duda backed him with a homer and single to drive in four runs, and the New York Mets beat the Colorado Rockies 7-5 on Saturday night. http://ozarksaids.org/new.html . 1 Venus Williams highlighted Wednesdays second-round winners at the Australian Open. The second-seeded reigning French Open champion and former world No. Peyton Manning Womens Jersey . But how? What had changed from one week to the next? Or is that the Ticats defence is just that average at stopping the run? When you consider the Stampeders started a right tackle in JMichael Deane who had previously only played right tackle during his years at Michigan State, and a left guard in Spencer Wilson who was making his first pro start after coming from the Calgary Colts junior football program in Alberta, 170 yards is a lot. Broncos Manning Jersey . Andre Hainault, Will Bruin and Kofi Sarkodie each scored second-half goals to give the Houston Dynamo a 3-1 win over D. AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- Sam Querreys booming serve carried him past long-time rival Jesse Levine of Canada 6-4, 7-6 (5) on Thursday and into the semifinals of the Heineken Open. Fourth-seeded Querrey served 16 aces, to go with the 19 he served in his second round match against Olivier Rochus, to earn a semifinal place opposite second-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber. Querrey and Levine, both 25, first played each other as teenagers at a futures tournament in 2006 when Ottawas Levine was a winner in three sets. Their careers have since diverged and Querrey has lifted his world ranking to 22 while Levine was forced to qualify in Auckland on his current ranking of 104. Thursdays match was his 10th of the year after he also qualified at last weeks Brisbane International. Top-seeded David Ferrer looked imperious as he downed Slovakias Lukas Lacko 6-2, 6-1 in only 52 minutes. The Spaniard rebounded after struggling with the pace of the courts in his opening match on Wednesday when he needed three sets and two hours to beat Lu Yen-hsun of Taiwan. Ferrer will now face the winner of the last quarter-final, due on court later Thursday, between third-seeded TTommy Haas and Gael Monfils. Peyton Manning Elite Jersey. "No match is easy but I played a very good game, better than yesterday," he said. "I had a good feeling with my game, with my shots and yesterday it was a little surprise for me that the court was faster. But today I felt better." The win kept Ferrer on target for his fourth singles title in Auckland and his third in as many years, feats that will match those of the great Australian Roy Emerson. Querrey kept up his drive toward the final with a narrow win over the tenacious Levine. The American won 80 per cent of points on first serve, dropping serve only once in the match -- in the third game of the first set. "The big serve is really helpful, especially in these tiebreakers," Querrey said. "Fortunately I was playing well today. Jesse made it tough today. Weve been playing against each other since we were about 13 years old and its tough every time." Kohlschreiber reached the Auckland semifinals for the fourth time in nine attempts, posting his 21st singles victory at the tournament at the expense of Belgian veteran Xavier Malisse. 00:17ET 10-01-13 ' ' '
