The axe came down on CFL veterans Justin Palardy, Hugh Charles, Jamel Richardson and Martell Mallett on Saturday. All four were released as CFL teams reduced their rosters to 46 players by the league deadline of 10 p.m. ET. The regular season kicks off Thursday with the Toronto Argonauts visiting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Veteran kicker Palardy was among 14 players cut by the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. While his release was surprising, the Edmonton Eskimos provided a shocker by including seven-year veteran Charles name in their final 15 cuts. A knee injury limited nine-year CFL veteran Richardson, 32, to only 18 catches for 197 yards last year, breaking a streak of five straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons with Montreal, which also let veteran linebacker Diamond Ferri go. Mallett, the 09 CFL top rookie with B.C., was released by Calgary. The running back was attempting to resurrect his career after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles tendon during training camp in 12 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Veteran defensive back Evan McCullough, who earned a Grey Cup ring with Toronto in 12, was among five players released by Hamilton. The Argos were expected to announce their final cuts Sunday. Palardy, a 26-year-old native of Truro, N.S., was looking to kick-start his CFL career with Ottawa but was released along with international kicker Paolo Henriques, leaving American rookie Brett Maher as the clubs only kicker. Howeer, late Saturday night it was reported that Maher had also been released. Maher had a field goal, three converts and single in Ottawas 26-10 exhibition win over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night, but he didnt exactly receive a ringing endorsement from Redblacks GM Marcel Desjardins on Saturday. "Unfortunately nobody lived up to what we felt the acceptable level of performance would be," Desjardins told reporters. "Even in Bretts case, he knows he need to be better. "It doesnt mean hes locked into being our guy either . . . were still having guys to explore and other options to look at and were going to do that. We have time, we have bye week so we have a lot of time to figure this out." The Redblacks dont play their first game until July 3 in Winnipeg. Palardy, a former Saint Marys star, was taken in the fifth round of the 2010 CFL draft by Hamilton and played in five games as a punter before being released. Palardy joined Winnipeg in August 2010 and made 26-of-30 field goals for a club-record 86.7 per cent success ratio. He followed that up by hitting 40-of-52 field goals in 2011. The following season, Palardy was Winnipegs nominee for the CFLs top special-teams player after making 39-of-45 field goals and averaging a career-high 57.3 yards on 70 kickoffs. But after hitting 9-of-12 field goals in 13, Palardy was replaced by Canadian Sando DeAngelis and released by the Bombers on Aug. 27, 2013. He signed with Ottawa on March 6. Palardy punted 12 times against Montreal for a 39.8-yard average. Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell said cutdown day is tough for all involved. "This is not a fun day," he said. "Theres a lot of guys that have put in a lot of work to get to this point and to try and make a football team. "To give people bad news, you never want to do it but its a part of the fact of what happens in pro sports." Over his career, Palardy made 114-of-139 field goals (82 per cent) and boasted a 42.1-yard punting average Also released by the Redblacks were national receivers Aaron Hargreaves, Simon LeMarquand and Steven Adu, international defensive back Parker Orms, international linebacker Devin Arrington, national defensive lineman Stephon Miller, international defensive lineman Dimetrio Tyson,, national offensive linemen James Lee, Brendan Dunn and Aaron Wheaton, international receivers Taulib Ikharo and Travon Patterson. The B.C. Lions released seven players. They were: national running back Guillame Bourassa, international defensive back Tony Burnett, international linebacker, Korey Jones, international defensive lineman Dyrell Porcha, international offensive tackle RJ Dill, national kicker/punter Steven Shott and national linebacker Thomas Spoletini. American defensive end Scooter Berry, who was entering his third CFL season, was among 14 players released by Montreal. The six-foot-two, 275-pound Berry had spent time in the NFL with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars, as well as Arena Football Leagues Jacksonville Sharks, before joining the Alouettes. "Lost a lot of good teammates today especially my boy (at)Sdot--Berry," Alouttes defensive lineman John Bowman tweeted. "I wish all yall the best. "This is the non fun part about the game." Montreals moves mean international receiver Chad Johnson made its final roster. Johnson, 36, was a longtime NFL star but was out of football for two years before signing with the Alouettes. In addition to Charles, Edmonton released national defensive linemen Michaell Dadzie and Gregory Alexandre, national receiver Anthony Barrett, international defensive linemen Cameron Sheffield, Daniel Ross and RaShon Harris, national cornerback Raye Hartmann, national centre Gord Hinse, international defensive backs Robert Sands and Myron Lewis, international slotback Brandon McRae, national punter-kicker Zackary Medeiros, national linebacker Kyle Norris and national fullback Smith Wright. The Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders released 26 players, including international linebacker Brandon Isaac, who earned a Grey Cup ring with Toronto in 12 and spent last season with Hamilton. Also let go were national receivers Jade Etienne -- selected fourth overall in the 11 draft by Winnipeg -- and Jordan Sisco, a 2010 second-round pick by the Riders, and international defensive lineman Markus White, who suffered a seizure during camp. Winnipeg made its final cuts Friday, releasing 11 players, including former starter Max Hall.

Chase De Leo and Mathew Dumba responded for the Winterhawks, who suffered just their fourth loss in their last 46 games, a string of success running all the way back to Jan.As far as Anderson Silva is concerned, hes done discussing the now-infamous leg injury he suffered over one year ago. Early in the second round of a highly-anticipated rematch against Chris Weidman, which took place at UFC 168 in Las Vegas on Dec. 28, 2013, Silva fired off a snapping low kick. The technique proved effective during his first encounter with Weidman months earlier. However, this time the New York native was ready for it, responding with a defensive check commonly referred to as a knee spike. Upon impact, Silvas left tibia and fibula broke in gruesome fashion. The MMA legend immediately hit the mat, clutching his leg and screaming out in agony as a stunned audience groaned in unison. Following the bout Silva began the slow road back to fighting shape. Though hes overcome both the physical and mental hurdles that stem from rehabbing a serious injury, he has little interest in reliving the moment. During a recent media conference call, Silva said the incident is simply old news. This is the point in my life where (I no longer talk about it), because my legs good now, Silva bluntly stated. Im training hard now and everything is new (again). (I dont talk about it) because its in the past. Sorry. Its not difficult to talk about, but this is the past. Its clear Silvas focus is locked on the immediate future. The former middleweight titleholder steps into the octagon for the first time since the injury when he meets returning Nick Diaz in the headliner of UFC 183 in Vegas on Sat., Jan. 31. The bout marks Diazs first since dropping a unanimous decision to then-welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre in Montreal almost two years ago. UFC 183 will also feature a pair of pivotal welterweight fights, as Tyron Woodley battles unbeaten Kelvin Gastelum and Canadian Jordan Mein faces Thiago Alves. The main card of UFC 183 will be available Saturday, January 31st on pay-per-view, with the prelims airing on TSN4 at 8pm et/5pm pt. For Silva, the clash with Diaz represents the final step to putting the injury completely behind him. Not only would a strong performance answer any lingering questions about his leg, it could also earn him shot at the middleweight championship. During the lead up to the fight, UFC president Dana White has stated a victory for Silva will net him an opportunity at the winner of next months title fight between Weidmann and Vitor Belfort.dddddddddddd However, Silva isnt worried about the stakes. The Brazilian said it would be foolish to look past Diaz. I work for the UFC, so I am a part of the UFC family, Silva said. So if Dana decides (Im going to fight for the title), Ill go prepare for the fight. This isnt a good question for me. This is a good question for Dana. My focus for now is the fight with Nick. When I finish the fight with Nick and Ive won, Ill go prepare for the next level. But now, Im starting my career in the UFC. This is my first fight in the UFC, in my mind. Of course, should he get the job done and then go on to reclaim the middleweight strap, Silva would be on a collision course with training partners and top contenders Lyoto Machida and Jacare Souza. Though Silva has long maintained he will not fight his friends, Machida and Souza recently stated they would entertain the idea if it meant a crack at the championship. Silva said he is disappointed by both fighters remarks. Jacare is my friend and Lyoto is my friend, Silva began. (But) these guys dont talk the same about me. When I go to talk with the media, I say, I wont go fight Lyoto because hes my friend. I wont go fight Jacare because hes my friend. But when they go talk with the media … Lyoto says, Ill go fight Anderson because (its my job to) fight. Jacare says, (I will fight him) because Im a fighter. My opinion is that I dont like the positions of Lyoto and Jacare. Im not going to go fight these guys because I train (with them). When I go to train with guys its because I go to help you. So when guys talk like this, Im very disappointed. I understand this is a sport and these guys are in the UFC to fight, but I dont like to fight Brazilians. If Silva has little interest in dwelling on the past, he most certainly isnt keen on discussing a hypothetical future where hes forced to fight his training partners. Silva said hes simply excited to step back into the cage and deliver yet another entertaining performance. Im very happy to be back because I didnt fight for one year, Silva said. Now, Im very excited this is my legacy and my dream. The new Anderson is (here). I have more experience, technique, speed and strength. Nick hasnt fought for a long time and I havent fought for one year. When Nick and I fight, we will put on the best show for the UFC. Thats it.
