Kaminzimmer » about him, said Mitchell. I love

VANCOUVER - Calgary Stampeders linebacker Juwan Simpson wasnt sure what to make of Bo Levi Mitchell.The rookie quarterback strode into the locker-room at training camp back in 2012 with the confidence of a 10-year veteran, not a player looking for a job.Hes probably one of the most arrogant rookies to come in, Simpson recalled with a smile.Brash young players can sometimes rub veterans the wrong way, but Mitchell gained the trust of teammates early and in three seasons has gone from a third-string pivot to the starter on a 15-3 club that will meet the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Sundays 102nd Grey Cup.He applies himself. I think thats where his confidence comes from, added Simpson. Its not just because he has a strong arm.Maybe thats how he originally got his confidence, but he definitely prepares himself very well and he works hard. He goes out there and performs ... Im a fan.Stampeders running back Jon Cornish, the CFLs most outstanding player in 2013, remembers Mitchell turning heads almost immediately.So heres this guy coming in throwing in scout team and just dropping bombs on our first-team defence, said Cornish. I think that allowed him to sort of understand that he can play at this level.It just speaks to how great his understanding of this game is and how much effort he puts into becoming a better player.A native of Katy, Texas, Mitchell completed 63.3 per cent of his passes in 2014, totalling 3,389 yards and 22 touchdowns against eight interceptions for the CFLs most potent offence.Hes got the good little Texas quarterback swagger about him, said Calgary running back Rob Cote. Its good. A quarterback needs confidence and hes got that for sure. Its an advantage to have an even-keel guy. You dont want a big roller-coaster emotionally and hes a rock for our offence.Mitchell was cool under pressure in his first playoff start last weekend in Calgarys victory in the West Division final victory over the Edmonton Eskimos, something he said has always been part of his makeup.I get excited when my helmets on and I get hit or when we make a big play. Thats when it comes out of me, said the 24-year-old. As a quarterback youve got to keep calm. Youve got to be thinking about the plays and not getting too overly excited about stuff. Ive won one at every level and Im very excited to get the opportunity to do it again, but I know its tough.I know that it comes from having those teammates around you and having a full team effort in order to get a win.While some players need to psyche themselves up for big games, Mitchell takes a more measured approach to his craft.When you play the game for so long its hard to make too much of it, said the product of Eastern Washington University. A lot of guys, they need the nerves. Its something that gets them ready.For me its my job, its my career, something that I love to do and Im passionate about. Every opportunity and chance I get to go out there and play, Im going to take advantage of it.Mitchell took over the starting job this season from Drew Tate, who in turn beat out Kevin Glenn in 2013, and should give the Stampeders a steady hand moving forward.I know that every person in the locker-room understands hes the quarterback that weve been looking for, said Cornish. Its just nice to have that consistency, the leadership and the level-headedness under centre.Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said Mitchell has done everything hes asked of him since he came to the CFL three seasons ago. The games not too big for Bo, said Hufnagel. He manages it, he makes plays. Hell make mistakes like everybody, but hell come back and manage the game.Mitchell was the No. 3 quarterback when the Stampeders lost the 2012 Grey Cup game to the Toronto Argonauts and was the backup when the team dropped last years West final to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.Im a teammate first. Being third-string quarterback, second-string or first-string, you feel the pain of your brothers and teammates whenever you lose that big game because we all put in work, he said. We all put in the sweat and the tears to get there.Mitchell will be opposite Hamiltons Zach Collaros on Sunday, another quarterback making just his second playoff start.Zach is a very competitive quarterback and thats what I love about him, said Mitchell. I love watching him play and the way he fires his team up. We are similar in that fact.Hes done a great job coming back (from injury) and leading his team to the Grey Cup.While he doesnt do a lot of talking in the locker-room, Mitchell is happy to shoulder the expectations put on his club as it looks for its first title since 2008.I like fielding the questions when they question me because that means theyre not questioning other people, he said. I dont mind them putting the pressure on me because I prepare the way I do to make sure that when any situations comes, I can step up and handle it.

Custom Minnesota Twins Jerseys .com) - Joe Pavelski scored twice to lead the San Jose Sharks in a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers to split a home-and-home set.LIVERPOOL, England -- Manchester City hurdled its last big obstacle en route to the English Premier League title by winning 3-2 at Everton, while heavy defeats condemned Fulham and Cardiff to relegation on Saturday. Two home wins, against Aston Villa on Wednesday and West Ham on Sunday, separate City from a second championship in three years after coming from behind to win at Goodison Park -- a stadium where it has traditionally struggled with just one victory from its last 15 visits. Sergio Agueros goal cancelled out Ross Barkleys brilliant 11th-minute opener for Everton, then Edin Dzeko scored twice in a five-minute span bridging halftime to help City go top -- for a day at least -- on goal difference from Liverpool, and two points clear of Chelsea. All three teams have two games left, with Chelsea playing Norwich on Sunday and Liverpool at Crystal Palace on Monday. "Three points is a huge step for us," City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. "Its a decisive moment, but we havent finished yet." Aguero gave City a scare by limping off in the 28th minute -- soon after scoring his equalizer -- but said on Twitter that he came off as a precaution and he was "fine." Evertons defeat dealt a major blow to the title hopes of neighbour Liverpool, and ensured Arsenal clinched fourth spot and Champions League qualification for the 17th straight season. Resurgent Sunderlands surprise 1-0 win at Manchester United pulled the team three points clear of third-from-bottom Norwich, gave interim United manager Ryan Giggs a reality check, and also consigned Fulham and Cardiff to the second tier. Fulham lost 4-1 at Stoke, and Cardiff was defeated 3-0 at Newcastle, leaving both sides unable to climb out of the relegation zone. "I have to apologize for not managing the situation. The club asked me to come -- I tried," said Fulham manager Felix Magath, who was hired in February in an attempt to keep the club in the top division for a 14th straight season. "You can never say any player would like to see relegation, but they didnt fight enough, especiially today.dddddddddddd" Cardiff goes down after spending just one year in the Premier League, having also changed managers midway through the season in a bid to prevent the drop. "I knew what I was coming into," Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said. "I didnt make the impact I hoped for and I believed in." Sunderland has taken seven points from trips to Man City, Chelsea and United in the past three weeks, with Sebastian Larssons 30th-minute goal clinching a first league victory at Old Trafford since 1968. United turned in a performance reminiscent of David Moyes woeful 10-month tenure that was brought to an end last month, puncturing the optimism created by the teams 4-0 win over Norwich last Saturday in Giggs first match in interim control. "I feel flat," Giggs said. "The players were flat and I dont know why. . We were putting five- or 10-yard passes astray and if you do that in the Premier League you get punished. Weve had a problem at home all season -- its not been good enough." Already out of contention to qualify for the Champions League, United is also struggling to make the Europa League as it is six points behind sixth-place Tottenham, which lost 2-0 at West Ham. Spurs went down to 10 men in the 25th minute when Younes Kaboul was given a straight red card for a professional foul, before an own goal by Harry Kane and Stewart Downings free kick secured a victory that preserved West Hams Premier League status for another season. Aston Villa moved six points clear of Norwich after beating Hull 3-1 thanks to Ashley Westwoods goal after 58 seconds and a pair of headers from Andreas Weimann just before halftime. Hull, a point behind Villa, was also unlikely to be hauled in by Norwich but its three-game winless run bodes ill for the FA Cup final against Arsenal on May 17. Regardless of that result, however, Hull will get the Europa League spot offered by the FA Cup courtesy of Arsenal securing fourth place in the league. Southampton beat Swansea 1-0 away thanks to Rickie Lamberts injury-time goal.
