CALGARY - Bo Levi Mitchell will be looking for his CFL record eighth straight victory to start his career when he leads the Calgary Stampeders against the B.C. Lions. Mitchell is currently tied with former Stampeders quarterback Jeff Garcia as his team looks to go 5-0 for the first time since 1995. You can catch the action live on TSN at 10pm et/7pm pt. The Stampeders take pride in their culture of "plug-in-and-play". When injury forces a player from the lineup, the replacement is expected to excel and help the team win. And with Calgarys star running back Jon Cornish and backup tailback Matt Walter out with concussion symptoms, it appears former CFL rookie of the year Martell Mallett will play in his first football game since 2009. The 28-year-old from Pine Bluff, Ark., rushed for 1,240 yards for the Lions in 2009, including a 136-yard performance in a game against the Stampeders, to earn that rookie award. Mallett then headed to the NFL where he got looks on practice rosters in Philadelphia, Cleveland and New York, but no games. The six-foot, 208-pound running back returned to Canada in 2012 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. A torn Achilles tendon suffered in training camp wiped out the season and the Tiger-Cats released him prior to training camp the following year. Signed as a free agent in January, Mallett came off Calgarys practise roster this week for some first-team reps. The Stampeders picked up running back Hugh Charles as insurance Monday following his release from the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mallett has been with the Stampeders since training camp and is more familiar with Calgarys offensive schemes. "I look at it as a blessing," Mallett said Tuesday. "Its been a while since I played football. Ive been here, learning the playbook, learning the system and it just came down to my time to go. Thats why Im here, for depth." Cornish, the CFLs most valuable player last season and rushing leader the past two, went on the six-game injured list last week still suffering the effects of getting knocked out in the season opener. In his absence, regular returner Jock Sanders led Calgary in rushing yards with 86 on 16 carries in last Thursdays 26-22 win over Edmonton. Walters left that game in the first quarter. Mallett has a degree in agriculture business from Arkansas-Pine Bluff. His post-football ambition is to work for U.S. Fish and Wildlife as a special agent chasing down poachers. "I grew up in a country town. I love hunting and I love fishing, but I hate it when people break the rules," he said. Malletts brother Michael was shot and killed in their home town in 2012 while Mallett was recovering from his Achilles surgery. Michael is one reason Mallett isnt done with football and moving onto to his next career. "If my brother was here, he would want me to continue to play football," Mallett said. "With that in consideration and my youth, I just feel like I can do it. I have a lot of miles left on me. I havent played a whole lot." The Stampeders went 14-4 in 2013 with a three-man rotation at starting quarterback and receivers constantly in and out of the lineup. "Thats been in our biggest thing the last couple of years. Guys plug in and play," defensive back Keon Raymond said. "Weve probably been one of the most injury-prone teams over the last couple years Ive been here, but we havent missed a beat. One of Calgarys three starting quarterbacks last season returns to McMahon Stadium on Friday in a Lions uniform. Kevin Glenn went 10-3 for the Stampeders before he was taken in the expansion draft by the Ottawa Redblacks and subsequently traded to the Lions. Charles has taken reps and worked with the return team in two practices since his arrival in Calgary. Hes been cut this season by both the Roughriders and the Edmonton Eskimos, for whom hes played a combined 55 career games. The Eskimos released him from training camp. The 28-year-old from Tulsa, Okla., compiled 86 yards on 13 carries in his one game July 12 for Saskatchewan, but a fumble that led to a Lions field goal likely cost him his job there. "That was the majority of it. I was there to prove a point and I just didnt get it done," Charles said. "They put me in that spot for a reason and I didnt come through and they pulled the plug. "Its nice to be wanted. Its been a roller-coast this year and a trying year for sure. We all go through it as a pro athlete and in this business. Im old enough to not take anything personal and to know the deal and the situation when things go down. "My whole career has been about proving and myself. Its nothing new."

I love big projects, he said. No kidding. At the 2013 Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, I met Eric Tulsky, who presented research on the value of controlled zone entries (short answer: about twice as valuable to enter with control of the puck rather than dumping it in) and Sznajder had charted a couple hundred games that were included in that study.ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Nico Rosbergs bid to overtake teammate Lewis Hamilton in the standings for his first title on the final day of a gripping Formula One season lasted three seconds.That was the time it took Hamilton to shoot past him as he coasted to victory at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and secured his second championship.Rosberg missed out on his maiden title after a topsy-turvy season that tested the Mercedes rivals — and their friendship — to the limit.With double points on offer in Abu Dhabi, the German driver could have clinched the title by winning the race and hoping Hamilton finished third or lower.Instead, he had problems throughout the race and tumbled down the leaderboard, crossing the line in 14th place for his third worst performance of the campaign.Im very disappointed. All in all, Lewis deserved to win the championship, Rosberg said. What happened to me had no impact, it did not change anything so there is no point focusing on that.Overall, Hamilton won 11 races and scored 384 points, while Rosberg won five and got 317.I came very close and it is a pity it did not work out, Rosberg said. Im proud to have been here with the team. Its been very intense, a very special weekend for me with so much support.Rosberg often refers to the fact that he bettered Hamilton in qualifying this season, taking 11 pole positions compared to seven for Hamilton.Ive been the better qualifier over the last two years and that gives me a good base, he said.That is only if he starts converting those pole positions into wins on a more regular basis, since Hamilton continues to prove he is the more composed driver when both cars are at full tilt.Rosberg was in control early on in the season, placing in the top two in the first seven races, with Hamilton retiring from two of them. Hamilton caught up and then pulled away after the summer break on the back of five straight wins.Rosberg stopped the rot two weeks agoo by beating Hamilton in Brazil.ddddddddddddIts been so intense between us all year long. Good moments and bad, Hamilton said. Hes going to be quick for a long time. It could have been either one of us today, we both wanted it.Although they go back to teenage days when they raced go-karts against each other, this did not protect their relationship under the intense strain of racing.The tension rose when a grinning Rosberg clearly goaded a stern-looking Hamilton in Thursdays pre-race news conference, urging him to race cleanly.Hamilton tried to blank Rosberg with flat, emotionless answers in the days leading up to the race and, when it counted, he answered him emphatically on the track.The seeds of discontent were sown long before Abu Dhabi, which came after months of bickering and even team orders for both of them to calm down.It started in May, when Hamilton was furious with Rosberg after an incident late in qualifying cost him pole position in Monaco.He was even more livid with Rosberg in Belgium, where the team was plunged into crisis mode after Hamilton accused his rival of deliberately nudging into him and bursting his tire.Hamilton acknowledged on Sunday that he had to hold back that day in Spa.Going back a few years, I would have chosen another way (to deal with it) which wouldnt have been positive, he said. I came back to the next races with a slightly different approach.Still, they were gracious enough after Sundays race.(Rosberg) just came into the room just now, he was very professional. He said Fantastic, you drove really well, Hamilton said after his 33rd career GP win. Nico put up an incredible fight throughout the year. We said way back in 1997 that it would be amazing if we were fighting for the title one day.Hamilton, at least, will know exactly how Rosberg feels.He lost the title to Kimi Raikkonen by one point in 2007 and beat Felipe Massa by the same margin the following year.
