EKU's Denham On POY Watch List

RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University football player Matt Denham was one of 20 Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) players named to the initial Walter Payton Award watch list today. The award, which is presented by The Sports Network, is presented annually to the most outstanding college football player on the FCS level.

Denham, a senior running back from Rineyville, Ky., burst onto the scene as a junior and rushed for 1,570 yards, which was the highest total by a Colonel since 1991. He averaged 184.5 yards rushing per game in his eight starts in 2011. Denham was named a 2011 Associated Press third team All-American.

In his first career start last October at Eastern Illinois, Denham piled up 216 yards rushing and two scores in the 48-16 win. He notched the game-winning score, a seven-yard run, with 1:08 remaining in the 23-16 win over UT Martin on Nov. 19. In the 2011 FCS playoff game against James Madison, Denham finished with 125 yards rushing which included a 66-yard play to set up an EKU third quarter touchdown. Denham was one of just two FCS players to reach 200 yards rushing in four games last year.

Denham was one of only two OVC players to make the initial watch list and first Colonel to appear on the list since running back C.J. Hudson in 2002. The Payton Award watch list can undergo revision during the 2012 season. Ballots will be sent to a panel of approximately 175 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries following the conclusion of the regular season on Nov. 19.

The Walter Payton Award is named in honor of Payton, who played collegiately for Jackson State and set the NCAA record for points scored in a career with 464. He scored 66 touchdowns for the Tigers, while rushing for 3,563 yards. Payton also kicked five field goals and 53 PATs in his four-year career at JSU. He set nine school records, six of which still stand today.

However, Payton’s collegiate accomplishments pale in comparison to the numbers he posted in his professional career. Upon his retirement, he was the NFL’s all-time leading rusher with 16,726 yards, and the Chicago Bears’[Cheap Chicago Bears Jerseys] all-time leading scorer with 750 points, as well as the holder of eight NFL[Wholesale NFL Jerseys] records and 28 Bears records.

The Walter Payton Award has been handed out annually since 1987. Some of the past winners include Dave Meggett (Towson – 1988), Steve McNair (Alcorn State – 1994), Brian Westbrook (Villanova – 2001) and Tony Romo (Eastern Illinois – 2002). Romo is the only OVC player who has ever won the Payton Award.

The Payton Award will be presented to the FCS national offensive player of the year on Friday, Jan. 4 in Frisco, Texas – the night before the national championship game.

Patience a virtue for unsigned CFL veteran players

At age 30 and with eight years of pro football experience under his belt, Stevie Baggs should just be hitting his prime.

But the man known as Shakespeare - because all he does is make plays - wasn't at a CFL training camp schooling less experienced players in the ways of a dominant pass rusher. While his days remain full - Baggs juggles a busy daily schedule that includes trips to the gym, public-speaking engagements and working on a book project as well as with his foundation - they don't include practising with a team preparing for the start of the 2012 season.

Yet there remains no doubt in the six-foot-one, 241-pound rush end's mind that he can still play at a high level.

If I felt the gift had dissipated at this point, I would let it go, he said. But I know I still have a lot of football still left in me.

It was different not being in training camp but was refreshing because I'm around my family, which is awesome, and I was able to go back home to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and that was really cool.

Baggs joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats midway through the 2010 season after being a late cut of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals[Wholesale Arizona Cardinals Jerseys]. He signed a deal reportedly worth $150,000 annually, which would've made Baggs' the CFL's highest-paid defensive player.

The former Bethune-Cookman star contributed immediately in Hamilton, registering five sacks, three fumble recoveries and an interception in seven games. But Baggs had five sacks in 18 regular-season starts in 2011 and was a healthy scratch for the club's 52-44 overtime win over Montreal in the East Division semifinal.

Hamilton released Baggs in the off-season reportedly for financial reasons although the Ticats said the decision was football related.

Baggs cited Hamilton's defensive scheme last year as a reason for his drop in production. Greg Marshall was the club's defensive co-ordinator when Baggs arrived but Marshall left prior to the 2011 season to become the Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach and was replaced by Corey Chamblin.

I was the product of a bad system last year where I wasn't able to utilize my skillset and ended up getting released over the money, he said. It was sad, it's disheartening but it's a part of this business we're in.

Unfortunately, Baggs isn't the only CFL player on the outside looking in these days. Among the veterans still waiting to re-sign with a new team are running backs Joffrey Reynolds, Fred Reid and Wes Cates, kickers Damon Duval and Sandro DeAngelis, defensive back Tad Kornegay, defensive lineman Anwar Stewart and offensive lineman Alexandre Gauthier.

Former Ticats tailback Avon Cobourne was also on that list, that is, until the 33-year-old returned to Hamilton after Martell Mallett - whose off-season signing prompted Cobourne to ask the Ticats for his release - suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during training camp.

The good thing is I've not burned any bridges or been a bad character guy in the locker-room and those type of things always help you when you're talking about getting back in, especially with it being a small league, Baggs said. That veteran presence is always needed and having a guy who knows not only how to produce on the field but how to be a good ambassador off it.

That's just as important as well.

Here's a look at the other patient veterans:

- Reynolds, 32, also appeared to be a good fit in Hamilton, given his previous association with new Ticats head coach George Cortez and starter Henry Burris. Reynolds, the all-time rushing leader in Calgary before being released this off-season, won a Grey Cup in '08 with Cortez as the Stampeders' offensive co-ordinator and Burris under centre.

- Reid, 30, spent five seasons with Winnipeg, rushing for 4,505 yards and averaging a solid 5.8 yards per carry. But he suffered a season-ending knee injury last season and with the emergence of youngster Chris Garrett was released Feb. 27. He later signed with Montreal before being let go.

- The 32-year-old Cates ran for 4,942 yards over six CFL seasons with Calgary and Saskatchewan, winning a Grey Cup with the Riders in '07 despite playing with a broken foot. The Riders opted against re-signing Cates in February once he became a free agent.

- Duval, 32, played six seasons with Montreal, booting the winning field goal in the '09 Grey Cup against Saskatchewan after missing his first attempt but getting a second chance after Saskatchewan was called for too many men on the field. He signed with Edmonton as a free agent in June 2011 but spent just one season with the Eskimos after being let go Feb. 1.

- DeAngelis, 31, spent his first five CFL seasons with Calgary and three times was a league all-star. He booted five field goals in the Stampeders' '08 Grey Cup win to be named top Canadian. But the native of Niagara Falls, Ont., signed with Hamilton as a free agent in 2010 and was released after making a career-low 76.2 per cent of his kicks. He joined Montreal last year but, after failing to dress for a game, asked for, and received, his release in February.

- The 29-year-old Kornegay ended his 2011 season in style, celebrating a Grey Cup win with the B.C. Lions. But the enjoyment was short-lived for the seven-year veteran defensive back, who was released Jan. 16.

- Stewart spent 10 of his 11 CFL seasons with Montreal, won three Grey Cups and was the club's all-time leader in sacks with 66. But the six-foot-four, 255-pound defensive end was released Feb. 8, a day before his 36th birthday.

- The first player taken in the 2002 CFL draft by Ottawa, the six-foot-seven, 330-pound Gauthier played 10 seasons with the Renegades, Calgary, Winnipeg and Hamilton before spending last year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. The native of Maria, Que., was cut loose Jan. 31.

Baggs made life miserable for CFL quarterbacks in 2009, finishing tied for the league lead in sacks with 12 before signing with Arizona.

Baggs began his pro football career with the Detroit Lions in 2004 as an undrafted free agent. He came to the CFL two years later, arriving in Winnipeg before splitting the 2007 season between the Bombers and Edmonton Eskimos.

He went to Saskatchewan in 2008 and remained there through the 2009 season before signing with the Cardinals. He also spent time in NFL[Wholesale NFL Jerseys] Europe as well as with the Orlando Predators of the Arena Football League.

A spiritual man, Baggs says his faith has helped teach him patience and an understanding that while football is important, it's not what defines him as a person.

That's why I play this game and whether it's good or bad, it's bigger than me, Baggs said. If something good happened on the field, I did a lot of celebrating because it was bigger than me and has always been bigger than me.

I play this game for the love I have for Jesus Christ . . . I need to have that platform for a reason.

A strong faith and determined work ethic have allowed Baggs to overcome plenty of adversity in a pro career that has seen him play for nine teams in four separate leagues. And that includes being a professional athlete despite being pigeon-toed.

I could've given up the game a long time ago when I had a guy from the New York Giants[Wholesale New York Giants Jerseys] tell me I was too pigeon-toed and to leave it (dream of pro career) alone, Baggs said. But being a journeyman and understanding the ins and outs of the business and seeing things that happen to a player like Avon Cobourne, those are all a part of this game.

It's not about the money, although I do understand my worth. Right now, though, the biggest thing is patience, patience, patience.

The Ways to tell apart male and female leather jac
According to Prime Magazine, differences between male and female clothing have been around since the Victorian Era. Specifics of button placement, color variety and size all are influenced by the gender intended to wear the garment. Of course, leather jackets are included. Sometimes men's and women's jackets have obvious differences that make telling them apart so easy, while other times there are merely subtle differences that make this difficult. If you're trying to decide if a jacket you have is made for a man or a woman, learning the steps and a few quick tips can help you figure it out.

We can figure out the jacket by looking at the zippers, buttons, sizes, collars, colors and so on. The most simple way is to check the inner lining for a tag or label. This is the easiest way to solve this problem. For example, if the label is a brand or store that caters specifically to one gender then you can determine based on that whether it is a men's or women's jacket. Do a quick online search for that label if you have never heard of it before, as the brand may have a Belstaff Leather Jackets website which can help you settle this issue.


First of all, let us look at the zippers. Zippers and buttons on men's leather jackets are on the right-hand side, while zippers are on the left-hand side for females. The difference in placement dates to when men needed to get their right hand inside their coats to extract their swords, while females who could afford buttons often Belstaff Leather Jackets Men also had maids. Having buttons on the left side allowed right-handed maids to dress their female employers more conveniently.The second step is to look at the sizes. Men's sizes for leather jackets are larger, taller and longer than comparable female sizes. The waist-cut design is higher on females than males. Female leather jackets also have additional fabric in the breast area.


Collars have more room in male leather jackets to allow for wider necks. Collars tend to be straight across for men, while women's collars have a slight slant aimed down in the front center. We can figure them out through colors too. Men's leather jackets are usually black, but can also be found in dark and light gray and medium tan. Women's leather jacket colors are more varied--including white, pink, red, orange, tan, purple, and the traditional gray and black hues.At the same time, there are some other ways to tell them apart. Examine how the jacket is tailored. Men's jackets usually have elongated torsos and more width in the shoulder area. Women's jackets, on the other hand, are slimmer, and usually more tailored at the waist with more fabric in the breast area to accommodate the curvier figure of a woman. Head to a local tailor or a clothing-exchange store for assistance if you are still having trouble. A professional like this can help you determine what gender your jacket Belstaff Trialmaster Legend Jacket Man was made for as they are accustomed to examining clothing. Of course, if you buy a jacket in a virtual store, the direct way is to ask the shopping guide.
