Each week, The Reporters put their thumbs out to the good and the bad in the world of sports. This week they discuss NFL fandom, CFLers down south, the state of Canadian soccer and a rash of unbelievable fluke goals in the NHL. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is down to football fans, or some of them, anyway. When Arizonas Calais Campbell was down last week with a neck injury that caused temporary numbness, 49ers fans did the wave even as 49ers players tried to silence them. When Houston quarterback Matt Schaub went down clutching his knee, the home fans cheered, because after several good years, Schaub has had a lousy string of games. San Francisco offensive linemen Alex Boone committed an angry personal foul last week, and he apologized, saying, "theyre asking us to be like animals out there and really try to grind and grind and grind. All of a sudden, somebody kicks you in the face. Am I supposed to be an animal now? Or am I supposed to be myself?" Heres a hint, fans: theyre not animals. Steve Simmons, Sun Media: My thumb is up to Brandon Browner of the Seattle Seahawks, one of the latest examples that there is occasionally gold to be mined in the Canadian Football League. There may not be a lot of it - Cameron Wake, Jerrel Freeman - when it comes to those who can play in the NFL and play well - but Browner, the former Stampeder, has been a big time corner on the excellent defence of the Seattle Seahawks, and he almost took an interception for a touchdown Thursday night in Arizona. Browners not alone carrying the Canadian flag down south - and every time he makes a big play, the CFL benefits from it. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to the Canadian mens soccer team, which has plummeted to an all-time low in the FIFA world rankings at 111. Since the 8-1 humiliation in Honduras last fall, a defeat that set the program back at least six years, Canada has gone 0-8-3 and been outscored 16-1. The Canadian men have gone 12 hours and 32 minutes without a goal, time that might have been more profitably spent watching Season 2 of “Homeland”. Canada trails Angola, Botswana and both Congos - among others. So why is my thumb up? Canada is still one spot ahead of 112th ranked Antigua and Barbuda, and there are two of them. Dave Hodge, TSN: My thumb is up to the likelihood that goalies Jonathan Quick, Roberto Luongo and Jonathan Bernier have already allowed the worst goals thatll beat them all season, and maybe in the rest of their careers. Hockey used to have "fluke" goals… these werent "flukes". These were goals that demand different descriptions, because you see "flukes" all the time. These were goals you never see, except weve seen three of them in less than three weeks. The goalies wish they had seen them. As Ken Dryden once told me: "You dont worry about those horrible goals, because theyll probably never happen again. You worry when youre a bit slow with the glove to stop the 20-footers to the top corner, because that can spell retirement." Joe Pavelski Jersey . Chelsea ripped apart Hull inside 25 minutes at Stamford Bridge, with the early goals from Oscar and Frank Lampard securing a 2-0 victory. While Lampard had earlier missed a penalty, Roberto Soldado had no such trouble from the spot for Tottenham, scoring on his debut to clinch a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace. Justin Braun Jersey . "We cannot stay the same way the whole season long," said Reyes. "This is not acceptable. Something needs to change because were a better team than what were showing right now. Its a long season and we just need to continue to push." Its been a frustrating week for the ballclub. http://www.officialsharksnhlshop.com/erik-karlsson-jersey/ . The Senators will put the busy off-season and training camp behind them when they open their regular season on the road. They kick things off Friday against the Buffalo Sabres and then head to Toronto to take on the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Evander Kane Jersey . Hes the same player he always was, only now his efforts are being rewarded. The rookie manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when things are going well, and accepting criticism when they arent. But in the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is NOT saying that may be the secret to a superb run of form. Brent Burns Jersey . A little more than one year after missing a last-second tip-in that would have given the Wolverines a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, the 6-foot-8 forward scored on a layup with 7.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Long before the Texas Rangers set a season high for runs, the AL West leaders had a big inning against Felix Hernandez that put them ahead to stay. Jurickson Profar hit an RBI single before scoring on a suicide squeeze in a five-run outburst against Hernandez, all the runs Texas managed in five innings against Seattles ace on the way to a 15-3 victory over the Mariners on Saturday night. "I cant put a finger on it, because theres games when hes really dominated us," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "One thing you have to do against King, and it was odd tonight, usually when he gets a lead, he knows how to take it home." The Rangers finished off their big night with an eight-run eighth in which Profar had another RBI single. Profar had a nifty slide to score on the bunt by Leonys Martin that dribbled only a few feet in front of the plate in the second inning. Seattle catcher Henry Blanco pounced on the ball and reached back trying to tag Profar, who made an elusive move to slide around and slap the back tip of the plate. "It was pretty close, but I never tagged him," Blanco said. "Youve got to expect anything. It was a good situation for them. Against a good pitcher like Felix, youre trying to get as many runs as you can." Rookie left-hander Martin Perez (6-3) pitched into the eighth to win his third consecutive start in August, even after giving up single runs in each of the first three innings. Perez had allowed exactly four hits in each of his previous three starts, including his first career complete game six days earlier. The Mariners had four hits in the first two innings, when they built a 2-0 lead -- usually plenty for Hernandez (12-6). He was 103-25 with a 2.80 ERA in his previous 170 career starts when Seattle scored at least two runs for him. Hernandez had a season-high five walks and allowed five runs and five hits. The big right-hander, who threw eight shutout innings last Sunday against Milwaukee, came in as the American League ERA leader, but that mark went from 2.28 to 2.47 -- higher than the 2.41 for Hiroki Kuroda of the New York Yankees. "My pitches were flat, up and I was not getting ahead of them.dddddddddddd It just started in the second inning. I tried to settle down," Hernandez said. "I was wild. It was just mechanics. I was too quick to the plate." Adrian Beltre led off the Rangers second with an eight-pitch plate appearance. Beltre shouted out to Hernandez, his former teammate and good friend, while running to first base on his sharp single to centre. Texas loaded the bases with another hit and a walk before Profar blooped an RBI single and David Murphy hit a two-run double to deep centre. Elvis Andrus added an RBI single after Martins bunt for a 5-2 lead. "Beltre got us going, and from that point on we just made contact and found some holes. It was a perfect situation right there to squeeze," Washington said. "With some luck, probably could have scored more runs. But Im not going to be greedy. Im going to take what we got." Hernandez hadnt allowed more than three earned runs in his previous nine starts since June 20. He is 0-3 with a 5.55 ERA in four starts against Texas this season. Kyle Seager homered and had an RBI single for the Mariners, who have lost 13 of 20. He extended his hitting streak at Rangers Ballpark to 13 games since May 2012. Brad Miller led off the game with a double and scored on a single by Seager, who was picked off second base by Perez. Dustin Ackley had a single and stolen base in the second before scoring on Brendan Ryans single. Seagers 19th homer, a 409-foot shot into the second deck in right field, came in the third. NOTES: It was Texas highest-scoring game at Rangers Ballpark without hitting a home run. The stadium is in its 20th season. ... Murphys 16 career RBIs vs. Hernandez are more than any other player. ... Craig Gentry pinch-hit for the Rangers for the fourth game in a row, and reached each time. He had a pinch two-run double in the seventh, and added an RBI fielders choice in the eighth in the No. 9 spot where Murphy started. ... Beltre is 6 for 12 this season against Hernandez. The Rangers third baseman, who played five seasons in Seattle, was 3 for 15 previously. ' ' '
