Mark Grace Jersey . Fognini defeated Berlocq 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 in 3 hours, 38 minutes. It was Italys first victory over Argentina in Davis Cup play, and the loss ended Argentinas 12-year streak of reaching the quarterfinals. "It was a perfect weekend," Fognini said. "We knew that Argentina was a tough team, but I was very focused mentally." Italy took control on Saturday when doubles pair Fognini and Simone Bolelli defeated Argentinas Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zeballos. Italy won its lone Davis Cup title in 1976. Argentina has never won and has lost four times in the final. Argentina played the weekend matches without its top player Juan Martin del Potro, who is skipping the Davis Cup to concentrate on tour events. Argentinas other top player David Nalbandian retired last year. Ernie Banks Jersey . The Canadians led for much of the game before Argentina forced overtime in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter. Canada weathered the storm after squandering a lead with a series of made shots. "Its a fantastic win for our country with 11 first-time Canadian national team members," said head coach Roy Rana. Drew Smyly Jersey .

Cox was the CFLs most outstanding defensive player in 2013 and is the teams all-time career leader with 326 defensive tackles. Chip Cox is a model of consistency, general manager Jim Popp said in a release. Never one to draw attention, he just comes to work every day as though its game day. Over the past six years, I do not think there has been any one player that has consistently affected the game anymore than Chip. He hasnt missed a game, he has the uncanny ability to be a game changer at any moment. He gives you the utmost confidence that you have a chance to win when he is on the field and as effective as he is on defence, he is just as effective on special teams when askeed to play. Anthony Rizzo Jersey. The 31-year-old Columbus native had 73 defensive tackles last season, including eight tackles for losses and three sacks. Cox also scored two touchdowns in 2014. One TD came on a 24-yard interception return and the other came on a 55-yard run after a forced fumble. Chip has been Johnny on the Spot for years and in our eyes, is the best defensive player in the CFL, Popp said. He could have easily been named (most outstanding player) several times. Although Chip has already been one of the highest-paid players in the CFL, we have made sure that he gets his recognition as the highest-paid defensive player in the CFL. The Alouettes went 9-9 in the regular season. They dropped a 40-24 decision to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Division final. ' ' '
