Transcript:"On December 2nd I received a fax from Commissioner Paul Tagliabue informing me the Bills are being fined $50,000 for criticism on my part of officiating in the last moments of our game with New England. I described two calls, back-to-back, as probably the worst I have witnessed in the 60 years I have watched pro football. Those two calls cost the Bills a very important game, one in which out team fought back very courageously from a substantial deficit. Society today is more enlightened. Fair comment and criticism are rampant. The entire media as a unit is frank and the millions watching a game are frank. But the Commissioner lecturing to me as if I were a novice, instead of one who has been involved in football infinitely longer than he has, contends that criticizing a call has "destructive and corrosive effects on the game."What is more destructive and corrosive – errant calls in front of millions of viewers or my statements of opinion? People all over the country registered shock at the way officials, however honourable their purpose, took the game away from us. Even the league has admitted to us that the calls near the conclusion of the game were incorrect. On Monday morning the Commissioner can sermonize on destruction and corrosion, but he has never experienced the pain of blowing a crucial game due to officiating. I have yet to decide whether or not I will pay or challenge the fine. But, at 80, I do know I dont need pompous lectures from the Commissioner and I feel that the $50,000 is not only unwarranted, but punitive in nature. The next time he may ask me to sit in corner." Ralph Wilson was a boss. Wholesale Buccaneers Jerseys . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency. Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys . -- Arizona coach Sean Miller rose from his seat every time Roberto Nelson touched the ball and yelled "Shooter!" He could have been talking about his own team, too. http://www.cheapbuccaneersjerseyselite.com/. Interestingly, the culprits were not rookies, but well paid, experienced pros. The first gaffe came in the 24th minute of arguably the biggest early season MLS game in history between Seattle and Toronto. Sounder newcomer Marco Pappa, (with over 100 MLS games, and 39 Guatemalan Caps to his name) attempted a back pass to one of his central defenders. Cheap Buccaneers Jerseys Authentic . Anything less than gold for either nation is considered a disappointment. Yet for Switzerland, advancing to the semifinal might be a victory in itself. Cheap Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys . - Vince Carter, heading into his 17th NBA season, doesnt consider age a big issue anymore.MONTREAL - Perhaps it will take a midweek trip to the west coast for the Montreal Impact to find their game.The Impact are in a tailspin as they prepare to face the Galaxy in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.The team that dominated Major League Soccer with a 9-3-2 record in the first four months has gone 4-8-5 since then. Now they are fighting just to stay in a playoff spot with three games left in the regular season.A 1-0 setback to the New England Revolution at Saputo Stadium on Saturday left them winless in their last five games, including three losses at home and three shutout defeats.At this moment it doesnt matter what formation we play, we have to put all we have into it, midfielder Felipe Martins said. We have three games left.In the last five, we didnt play like we played before, so something has to change. We have to get back to where we were before.Against the Revolution, the Impact looked old and slow, generating few quality chances on attack.For Felipe, the Brazilian who likes to go by one name, a livelier performance is needed to get back to what worked so well before.We have to move more, he said. The other teams know how we play now.They come here, they sit back. So we have to be like we were before. Keep moving. Move the ball quickly and try to find space. This is how we played (the first) half of the season.Coach Marco Schallibaum has decisions to make on whether to save some veterans for a more important Eastern Conference match at home Saturday against the sixth-place Philadelphia Union.The Union and the Chicago Fire have caught up to Montreals 46 points, but the Impact retained fourth place because they have played one fewer game. The top five in each conference make the post-season.Two decisions were made for the coach against New England, as both central defender Matteo Ferrari and midfielder Davy Arnaud drew their fifth yellow card and will be suspended one match.Fullback Hassoun Camara will return after serving a one-game ban.The question is whether Schallibaum will rest his 37-year-olds, striker Marco Di Vaio and centre back Alessandro Nesta. Midfielders Patrice Bernier (hip), who was clearly off form against New England, and Justin Mapp (groin) may also need a break.But resting that many starters mmakes beating the defending MLS champions at home a daunting task, even if the Galaxy will likely be without their top two weapons in Landon Donovan (ankle) and Robbie Keane, who has been kept by the Republic of Ireland for a World Cup qualifier Tuesday against Kazakhstan.dddddddddddd dont think we have the luxury of doing that, said Arnaud. Its very tight.Obviously next Saturday is a huge game because its a six-point game with Philadelphia, but Wednesdays game is an opportunity to pick up points.Fresh legs could also counter some of the psychological effects of the New England loss. The team had spoken all week about the importance of winning, then turned in a tepid performance.We didnt respond, Arnaud said of the defeat. Theres no other way of saying it.You cant sugar coat it and make it something its not. Well have to think about that as players.Options for the Impact include using younger, quicker players like forward Andrew Wenger and midfielder Blake Smith.We have to try to get all three points, said Schallibaum, who doesnt release his lineup until an hour before a game. They are looking for points as well, so it wont be easy.We lost, but we have to get back up.Impact academy graduate Maxim Tissot filled in for injured left back Jeb Brovsky against New England and will likely play again. Another academy grad, Wandrille Lefevre, should take over Ferraris spot, while Camara can also play in the middle.The Galaxy are coming off a bye week and hope to have some of their ailing players back, including midfielder Juninho and centreback Leonardo, two Brazilians who have been out with groin problems. Central defender Omar Gonzalez, defender A.J. DeLaGarza and midfielder Robbie Rogers are also on the mend from injuries.But Keane, with 15 goals and 11 assists, and Donovan, with 10 goals, are the Galaxys offensive motors. Donovan was sent home by the U.S. national team on the weekend with his ankle injury.They scored two goals each in the Galaxys last game, a 5-0 win over lowly Chivas USA that ended a four-game winless run.The Impact have done well on the west coast this season at 2-1-2 in all competitions, but their last trip went badly as they lost 3-0 in San Jose in the CONCACAF Champions League on Sept. 17.
