REGINA -- Top draft pick Ben Heenan signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the CFL team locked up all four of their Canadian draft selections. The Roughriders also came to terms with linebackers Samuel Hurl and Kevin Regimbald-Gagne as well as wide receiver Ismael Bamba. Saskatchewan added two free agents Thursday, signing import defensive back Karl Paymah and non-import defensive lineman Renaldo Sagesse. Heenan, who went first overall in the draft, spent four seasons as an offensive lineman at the University of Saskatchewan. The six-foot-four, 310-pound Heenan helped the Huskies to three Canada West regular-season titles and four consecutive playoff appearances. Hurl, at 6-1, 225 pounds, was taken 12th overall by the Riders. He led the Calgary Dinos last season with 97 defensive tackles and four tackles for a loss. Regimbald-Gagne, Saskatchewans 35th pick, was a standout linebacker with the Sherbrooke Vert et Or. Last season the 6-1, 230 pounder was named a first team CIS all-Canadian after registering 40 defensive tackles. Bamba, taken 39th overall, had 50 receptions for 543 yards and four touchdowns with Sherbrooke last season. The 6-1, 195-pound receiver added 12 kick returns for 310 yards and one touchdown, as well as 18 punt returns for 208 yards and one TD. Paymah, at 6-0, 195 pounds, played 130 career NFL games over six seasons with Denver, Minnesota and Houston. The 6-4, 289-pound Sagesse was drafted 25th overall by the Montreal Alouettes in 2011. cheap nfl jerseys .

This week, they discuss the CFL inviting Canadian university quarterbacks to camp, Nicklas Lidstrom, French Open umpire Eva Asderaki and Usain Bolt. Dave Naylor, TSN: My thumb is up to the CFL for its initiative to invite Canadian university quarterbacks to training camps across the country this spring. Let me be clear - I continue to be staunchly opposed to any kind of incentive or mandate for Canadian quarterbacks on CFL rosters just because theyre Canadian. But the league should be doing all it can to help young Canadian quarterbacks be ready to compete for jobs. Bringing them into CFL camps while theyre still in university gives them a great learning experience and an up-close look at the bar theyve got to hit. Cathal Kelly, Toronto Star: My thumb is up to Nicklas Lidstrom, who retired before he had to this week after 20 years of dominance. We wont go back over the superlatives that put him amongst the three or four greatest defencemen to ever play hockey. There are too many. From the remove of a few days, we salute the manner of his exit. In keeping with his entire tenure, it was quiet and dignified. Others use their farewell as a way in which to reassure themselves that they are still admired. Lidstrom was that rare superstar who was neither motivated by money nor the need to be loved. Like all great artists, he did it for the sake of the work. "Retiring today allows me to walk away with pride rather than have the game walk away from me," he said. During two decades of close observation, Lidstrom never mmade a headline that didnt involve something smart hed done on the ice.dddddddddddd That pride - not only in his hockey, but in himself - is what set Lidstrom apart. Dave Feschuk, Toronto Sun: My thumb is up to Eva Asderaki. Shes the French Open umpire who took a stand against a very worthy enemy: grunting in womens tennis. She docked Frances Vir-Ginny Razzano two points for excessive noisemaking this week. And good on her. Its a problem thats out of control. Non-grunting players complain about it. Martina Navratilova has equated it with cheating. The good news is tennis academies have recognized the issue - theyre telling kids they can make it to the WTA without sounding like an x-rated film. For now, the No. 1 player in the world is nicknamed Vika the Shrieka. So lets make some noise for an umpire fighting for our right to quiet. James Cybulski, TSN: My thumb is up to the worlds fastest man, Usain Bolt. The Jamaican lightning bolt ripped up the track in Rome three days ago, clocking a time of 9.76 seconds in the 100 metre dash, which was not only the fastest time posted this year but also silenced critics suggesting his best days might be long gone after he ran the slowest 100 metres of his career a week prior. The heavyweight title in boxing used to represent the toughest man in the world, but with the sports decline, and rise of MMA, were not sure who that moniker belongs to now. But when it comes to the fastest, 100 metres still sets the standard for speed on planet earth. The London Games are less than two months away and now we wonder if Bolt breaks his own mark of 9.58.
