The Calgary Stampeders have named Bo Levi Mitchell as their starting quarterback to start the 2014 season. Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel made the announcement to the assembled media Monday at McMahon Stadium. Mitchell was battling for playing time with Drew Tate for the starters job. The Stampeders open their 2014 campaign Saturday at home against the Montreal Alouettes. The 24-year-old appeared in 11 games with the Stamps in 2013, splitting the duties under centre with Tate and Kevin Glenn. With Glenn now a member of the B.C. Lions, it left the two to battle it out to become the first-choice quarterback. In 11 appearances with the Stamps in 2013, Mitchell completed 94 of 135 passes (69.6 per cent) for 10 touchdowns and three interceptions. Tate, 29, appeared in seven games with the Stamps in 2013 completing 59 of 87 passes (67.8 per cent) for five touchdowns and one interception. China Jerseys Knockoff .

What the club had planned as a festive tribute video to Messi for breaking the Spanish leagues scoring record took an unpleasant turn when the taped congratulations from Josep Bartomeu and Andoni Zubizarreta were drowned out by ringing boos.The fans know that Messis latest scoring feat, which came three days before he also topped the Champions Leagues scoring chart, cant mask a wretched run for the club off the field.Not long ago Barcelona lived up to its motto of being more than a club as coach Pep Guardiola orchestrated some of the most attractive football ever while the club paid UNICEF to sponsor its shirts instead of cashing in on advertising like the rest.With Qatar Airways now on its players chests, the club is mired in several legal battles and has lost its clean sheen of being the team that outshines its rivals.Former Barcelona great Johan Cruyff recently said that the legal troubles embroiling the club, including those into Neymars transfer that led to its most recent former president, Sandro Rosell, to stepping down and giving Bartomeu his current job, are taking a serious toll.Its pitiful to see Barca like this, Cruyff said last month. With UNICEF, it was the toast of the world. Everyone wanted to watch it play. We have lost so much prestige in the world.The Catalan clubs woes dont stop there.There is also former president Jose Luis Nunez, who ran the club from 1978-2000, going to prison for bribing tax officials to benefit his construction company, and the ugly courtroom battle between the current board and former president Joan Laporta.ddddddddddddEven Barcelonas once lauded youth academy has fallen under scrutiny with FIFA banning the club from making new signings for one year.Messi, who is facing his own problems over alleged unpaid taxes, pointed to these moments that Barcelona is going through now as one of the reasons he recently questioned whether he would be able to see through his desire of finishing the better part of his career with the team.Barcelonas answer to this multi-front crisis was to take a further risk by signing Suarez, one of the most divisive players in the game, fresh from his third suspension for biting an opponent.The club now faces a critical season to see whether it can resolve its off-the-field problems as well as return to winning major titles after coming up empty-handed last year.Zubizarreta, however, may not last until the summer. Signings such as the injury-plagued Thomas Vermaelen, who has yet to play and will be out another four-to-five months, and the little-known Brazilian defender Douglas, have put the former Barcelona goalkeeper under growing pressure.On the field, Barcelona is settling in under new coach Luis Enrique. Sundays 1-0 win at Valencia came despite being outplayed for long stretches.Real Madrid, meanwhile, is challenging Barcelona for the mantel of playing the most beautiful football in Europe, with Carlo Ancelotti guiding the club to the European title last season and a record 16 straight wins this week.This all points to one conclusion: Barcelona either must rediscover its mesmerizing style and win a major title, or the club needs to heed its members and hold early elections at the end of the season, cutting short its current mandate that runs until June 2016, and start anew.
