SURREY, B. Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys China .C. - B.C. Lions general manager Wally Buono never saw it coming.Head coach Mike Benevides called the performance very, very disturbing.A little more than 24 hours after the Montreal Alouettes embarrassed the Lions 50-17 in the CFLs East Division semifinal, Buono and Benevides met the media on Monday to begin the autopsy on a season that started with the promise of another Grey Cup in their backyard and ended with a resounding thud.Was I in a state of shock (Sunday)? Yes, said Buono, choosing his words carefully. Would I ever would have imagined that would have occurred? No.What did I learn about our football club? I learned the fact that were not good enough and I learned the fact we have to do something about it.As was the case throughout much of 2014, B.C.s offence was unable to get anything going against Montreal, which will take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East final on Sunday.I was just so confident that we were going to go out and really play well and win a tough, close game on the road, said Buono. This is devastating. If its not devastating then you werent committed, you werent 100 per cent in.Kevin Glenn, who started 18 of the clubs 19 games this season in place of the injured Travis Lulay, was completely ineffective against the Alouettes, throwing for just 64 yards and two interceptions before getting the hook.When you have that kind of loss theres going to be a lot said and a lot of attention, and rightly so, said Benevides. To lose in that manner is very, very disturbing and certainly disappointing and all the adjectives you could come up with.In his three years as head coach of the Lions, Benevides has a record of 33 wins and 21 losses, but is 0 for 3 in playoff games. He was promoted from defensive co-ordinator to head coach after Buono moved into the front office on a full-time basis following the Lions Grey Cup victory in 2011.When asked if Benevides would be back in 2015, Buono responded with: Are any of us going to be back?Benevides said job security wasnt a concern, but added the 9-9 record and the crossover playoff spot wasnt good enough.Theres no doubt this business is about winning and Im clearly aware where thats at, he said. When I look at it, my goal is always to find a way to improve and get better and thats still where my focus is. But Im clearly aware of where were at — very disappointed.The Lions dealt with a number of injuries on offence throughout 2014. Lulay played just one game, running back Andrew Harris and wide receiver Courtney Taylor were lost for the season, and the offensive line was beat up for long stretches.Despite those losses and a defence that had played well for much of the season, but also gave up 70 points and more than 1,000 yards over the last two weeks of the regular season, Buono said he was already making plans to face Hamilton with a shot at the Grey Cup on the line.Instead, the players will meet on Tuesday for a final time before cleaning out their lockers.That team should have been good enough to execute better (against Montreal), said Buono. That team should have been good enough to be able to have a very competitive game. At the end of it ... they didnt.I think they were well prepared. Montreal didnt surprise me. They didnt surprise me in what they did, they just executed it better.The Lions will have to make a decision on what to do with Lulay and whether or not it can count on him to be healthy after he re-injured his surgically repaired shoulder in his only start of the season.The quarterback position of any team is critical, said Buono. Travis is the kind of guy that I believe you should be willing to not make a quick decision (with).B.C. finished fifth in total offence with 353.1 yards per game, but was just seventh in the passing attack (232.4 yards per game) and fourth in rushing (102.1 yards per game)Glenn — who was acquired from the Ottawa Redblacks at the draft as an insurance policy — finished second in the CFL behind Ricky Ray with 3,918 passing yards to go along with 17 touchdowns.But he also threw 17 interceptions — plus two more in the playoff debacle — and never really looked comfortable, often making critical mistakes in the red zone.Im disappointed for (Glenn) because I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, Benevides said of the impending free agent. Kevins been a soldier for 14 years. Hes won a lot of football games.Hes a heck of a warrior — a character guy.The Lions had point totals of 17, 16, 16, 9, 7, 7, 6 and 3 during the regular season, going just 1-7 in those games, which has led to questions about first-year offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones job security.Neither Benevides or Buono elaborate on the future of any players or coaches on Monday.I feel good about our roster, said Benevides. Its like anything else, its a matter of getting the group together, working hard in the off-season and coming up with a vision of who we need to be.We overcame some challenges and other ones we did not.A former player and coach, Buono said the blowout loss in Montreal didnt hurt more than any other, even with the Grey Cup set for B.C. Place Stadium in less than two weeks, a game the Lions will now watch like everyone else.The hollowness, the emptiness always feels the same, he said. This is my 42nd year in the Canadian Football League and Ive had seven happy endings.The game was very, very disappointing. I dont think the score is relative to the disappointment. I guess the score is relative to the embarrassment, to the anger, but not to the disappointment. Authentic Anton Stralman Jersey . As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. Authentic Steven Stamkos Jersey . As if he had been rehearsing it, Vasquez looked around with a grimacing stare as he clinched two fists and flexed his muscles. What do you think of DeMar DeRozans face after he hits a big shot, he was asked moments earlier.LOS ANGELES, Calif. - A judge ruled against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Monday in his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In the tentative ruling, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided with Sterlings estranged wife Shelly Sterling, who burst into tears when the ruling was announced. "I cant believe its over. I feel good," she said. Shelly Sterling negotiated the sale of the team after the 80-year-old billionaire was banned by the NBA for making offensive remarks about blacks. She sought approval from a probate judge for the deal she struck after removing her husband from the trust that owned the team when doctors found he had signs of Alzheimers disease and couldnt manage his affairs. Donald Sterling claimed his wife deceived him about the medical exams. He later revoked the trust after she negotiated the record-setting sales price and his lawyers argued that the move killed the deal. They said the case didnt belong in probate court because the trust had been dissolved. The ruling in Los Angeles County Superior Court is unlikely to put an end to the bizarre saga that began in April when a recording surfaced of Sterling scolding his young girlfriend for bringing black men to Clippers games. The NBA moved quickly to ban Sterling for life and fined him $2.5 million. Sterling was apologetic after the audio recording went viral, but his mea culpa backfired when he criticized Lakers great Magic Johnson, who had been photographed with Sterlings girlfriend, as a bad role model for kids because he had HIV. Sterling was roundly criticized from locker rooms to the Oval Office, where President Barack Obama called Sterlings remarks "incredibly offensive racist statements." With the NBA threatening to seize the team and auction it, Sterling initially gave his wife of 58 years permission to negotiate a sale but then refused to siign it. Authentic Cedric Paquette Jersey. He said he would sue the league instead and then revoked the trust. The nonjury trial held over several weeks focused mainly on whether Shelly Sterling properly removed her husband as a trustee and whether her actions carried any weight after he revoked the trust. Donald Sterlings lawyers contended that his wife and her lawyers conspired to trick him and that the mental exams by two doctors were faulty. They said Sterling didnt know his competency as a trustee was being evaluated and that he showed no signs of incompetence on the witness stand. In combative testimony, Sterling said he would "never, ever sell" the team he bought in 1981 for about $12 million. He vowed to fight the NBA in court until the day he dies. Before taking the stand, he kissed his wife and then testified that he loved her. But the following day when she approached him in court he yelled, "get away from me, you pig!" Sterling, a lawyer who made a fortune as a landlord, has filed an antitrust lawsuit in federal court against the NBA and he sued his wife, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the league in state court. Lawyers for Shelly Sterling and Ballmer had urged the judge to let the sale go through because it was in the best interest of the family trust. They said an auction was less likely to bring such a high price and that coach Doc Rivers, key players and sponsors were likely to walk if Donald Sterlings ownership was prolonged. "The trust has a golden bird in the hand," Shelly Sterlings lawyers wrote in court papers. "A sale of the Clippers for $2 billion is indisputably a bonanza for the Sterling family. Donalds strident opposition is motivated by only selfish considerations." Donald Sterling said he could get more for the team by also selling TV rights and through his $9 billion suit against the league. ___ AP Special Correspondent Linda Deutsch contributed to this story. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseyscheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
