Scott Milanovich wants the Toronto Argonauts to have selective amnesia as they begin to prepare to defend their Grey Cup title. CFL training camps open Sunday and Milanovich, the Argos sophomore head coach, wants his team to remember what it took to win the historic 100th Grey Cup. But he doesnt want them thinking about the celebration and euphoria that followed Torontos 35-22 win over the Calgary Stampeders at Rogers Centre. "This is a team that knows it can compete at the highest level," said Milanovich, the CFLs 2012 coach of the year. "I think there were times last year when we believed we could but now they know it. "We dont want to wash that out because some of the best things that came from it was how tight our locker-room was, the way we embraced practice and coaching and how we did our day-to-day business. Those things you want to keep. What you want them to forget is the last thing they remember from last year because it doesnt matter ... that has no effect, really, on whats going to happen this year." On Friday night, Toronto players, coaches and staff were scheduled to receive their championship rings. Toronto will defend its title minus many of the faces who helped the club win its first Grey Cup since 2004. Gone are defensive linemen Ron Flemons (released), Armondo Armstead (New England Patriots, NFL), Ricky Foley (free agent, Saskatchewan) and Adriano Belli (retired), linebacker Ejiro Kuale (free agent, Montreal), defensive back Evan McCollough (free agent, Hamilton), kicker/punter Noel Prefontaine (released) and backup quarterback Jarious Jackson (retired to become an assistant coach with B.C.). The six-foot-five, 315-pound Mitchell, who was suspended twice last year, initially balked at coming to Toronto after being dealt by B.C. But the outspoken defensive tackle is expected to be present Sunday. In the off-season, Argos GM Jim Barker signed former NFL receivers Reggie Williams (04 first-round pick, Jacksonville Jaguars) and Mike Williams (05 first-round pick, Detroit Lions), defensive linemen Khalif Mitchell (trade, B.C. Lions) and Jermaine Reid (trade, Edmonton), linebacker James Yurichuk (free agent, B.C.) and receiver Romby Bryant (free agent, Calgary) as well as defensive lineman Cleyon Laing and linebacker Herve Tonye-Tonye, both 2012 draft picks who returned to school last fall. But Toronto will have familiarity on offence during training camp as starter Ricky Ray returns for his second season with the team. On Friday, Ray signed a contract extension through the 2015 season. The former Edmonton Eskimos star needed time to digest Milanovichs formations and schemes but down the stretch the 33-year-old Californian was pivotal to the Argos success. Ray will have a new offensive co-ordinator in Marcus Brady this season. Brady, a former CFL quarterback, has familiarity with Milanovichs offence as the two worked together as assistants in Montreal. Brady will have training camp to work on utilizing the talents of receiver Chad Owens (last years CFL MVP) as well as running back Chad Kackert, the Grey Cup MVP who re-signed with the Argos shortly after becoming a free agent. Two CFL teams will open camp with new head coaches. Kent Austin, who led Saskatchewan to the 07 Grey Cup, joined the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as their head coach and GM last December after three seasons as Cornells head coach. Austin has CFL experience, both as a player and coach, and takes over a Ticats squad that missed the playoffs last season with a 6-12 record. The Ticats camp will be held at McMaster University but theyll play this season at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, Ont., while a new stadium is built in Hamilton. The CFL squad is scheduled to move into the new venue in 2014. But Austin wont have star receiver Chris Williams in camp. Williams, who had a club-record 17 TDs last year and was the leagues top special-teams player, is embroiled in a nasty dispute with Hamilton. Williams wants out of his CFL deal -- reportedly to pursue NFL options -- and has gone to arbitration. Both sides are now awaiting that decision. Meanwhile in Montreal, former NCAA head coach Dan Hawkins has replaced Marc Trestman as Alouettes head coach. Trestman led the Als to a 59-31 regular-season record and two Grey Cups over five seasons before being named the Chicago Bears head coach. This will mark Hawkins first exposure to Canadian football. Trestman arrived in Montreal in 08 with no previous coaching experience in Canada and quickly adjusted to the 12-man, three-down game. Fortunately for Hawkins, veteran Anthony Calvillo returns for a 20th CFL season and 16th with Montreal. The 40-year-old is pro footballs all-time passing leader and is coming off consecutive 5,000-yard seasons. There will be a prominent new face in Saskatchewans camp. Veteran slotback Geroy Simon prepares for his first season in Regina after spending the last 12 years with B.C. Hamstring injuries limited Simon to 54 catches for 700 yards and two TDs in 2012 -- the first time in 10 years Simon didnt crack the 1,000-yard receiving plateau. B.C. dealt the 37-year-old to Saskatchewan with the Riders hoping Simon -- the leagues career receiving yards leader -- can complement speedy Weston Dressler (94 catches, 1,206 yards, 13 TDs). Simon also needs just 29 receptions to become the most prolific receiver in CFL history. Change is the operative word in B.C.s camp as GM Wally Buono revamped his roster in the off-season following the clubs West Division final loss to Calgary. Buono dealt veterans Mitchell and backup quarterback Mike Reilly (to Edmonton), released others like receiver Arland Bruce III and cornerback Byron Parker while bringing back receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux following two seasons in the NFL. Buono also re-signed more than 20 players, including quarterback Travis Lulay, offensive linemen Jovan Oliafoye and Ben Archibald and linebacker Solomon Elimimian. The 2011 Grey Cup champions finished atop the West Division with a league-best 13-5 record under rookie head coach Mike Benevides before their season-ending loss to Calgary. Lulay, 29, the CFLs 2011 outstanding player, signed a contract extension reportedly worth $450,000 annually that would make him one of the leagues highest-paid players. Lulay had a career-best 66.5 per cent completion average last year, passing for 4,231 yards with 27 TD tosses and just 10 interceptions despite a late-season shoulder ailment. Lulay was bothered by back issues during B.C.s mini-camp but afterwards declared himself healthy for camp. Ugg Outlet Italia .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

Ugg Scontati . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at .LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears were already losing games. Now theyre going to be without their most important players on both sides of the ball. Injured quarterback Jay Cutler will miss at least the next four weeks of the season and Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs will be out for around six weeks, staggering blows for a struggling team. The Bears announced the news Monday, a day after Cutler suffered a muscle tear in his groin during a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins, forcing the Bears to go with veteran Josh McCown. Briggs left the game with a small fracture in his left shoulder. Neither player will need surgery. "Theyre not done," coach Marc Trestman said. "Theyre going to be back (this season)." Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman also left the game with a knee injury as Chicago (4-3) lost for the third time in four games. The Bears are off this week, but with the injuries mounting, their season could be slipping away from them. The defence has been hit particularly hard in recent weeks, and with Cutler out, itll be veteran McCown lining up behind centre as they try to keep up with Green Bay and Detroit in the NFC North. Cutler came up clutching the top of his left leg following a sack by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker with about 10 minutes left in the first half. He stayed down for a few minutes and eventually limped off the field. "They said this is a minimum four weeks and then well evaluate it week to week," Trestman said. "Based on the history -- I talked to the doctors this morning -- of this injury, four weeks is a reasonable start and that it would be week to week." The Bears insisted Cutler will return this season. "Unless theres a complication during his rehab, with the injury that he has that Im certain hell be back at some point," general manager Phil Emery said. Where Cutler will be next season remains to be seen, given his expiring contract. Its the second time in three years that he will miss a significant chunk of time, after suffering a season-ending injury in 2011. Emery said he doesnt see a pattern. As for how this injury will impact contract negotiations with Cutler after the season, he wouldnt discuss that. "Theres no reason to because its not the here-and-now," Emery said. The here-and-now has the Bears forced to go with McCown, hoping he can at least keep them afloat while Cutler recuperates. He entered Sundays game at Washington in the second quarter, seeing his first game action since the 2011 season. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett that gave his team a 41-38 lead with 3:57 to play. McCown looked undeerstandably rusty in his first few plays, but he did put Chicago in position to win the shootout with the Redskins.dddddddddddd The Bears will need more of the same if theyre going to have a chance of winning their next game at Green Bay on a Monday night following the bye, not to mention beating Detroit the following week. They didnt fare well the last time they went an extended period without Cutler. After he broke his thumb two years ago, the Bears dropped five of six following a 7-3 start in a collapse that cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job. Back then, Caleb Hanie struggled in a big way. The Bears then turned to McCown, who had been coaching high school football in North Carolina, late in the season. They have more weapons now with Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Bennett, not to mention a rebuilt offensive line and a system thats geared more to quick, high-percentage passes than what they were running under Mike Martz. "Especially in this league where the quarterback drives the ship, I dont know if youre ever ready to handle losing your starting quarterback," McCown said. "But I think the structure is in place and the emphasis has been put on individuals to do their job and do their part. If we continue to get that, and we felt like we got that yesterday, it allows the quarterback to step in there, whether its Jay or myself, to function and play, because guys are going to be coached to be where they are supposed to be and do what theyre supposed to do." With Cutler out, Chicago is bringing in Jordan Palmer to back up McCown. The Bears were one injury away from having receiver Earl Bennett line up behind centre because they only carry two quarterbacks. Emery said that wont change. He also said the Bears are looking to bring in a veteran with Briggs injured. And just for the record, Brian Urlacher is not a candidate. Emery shot down that idea, pointing out that the former star middle linebacker filed his retirement papers before the season and received his termination pay. He also said the Bears wont make a trade simply because of the injuries, even though they have some big holes to fill. They lost defensive tackle Henry Melton, his replacement, Nate Collins, and middle linebacker D.J. Williams to season-ending knee injuries. With Briggs out, rookie Jon Bostic or veteran James Anderson figure to call plays and rookie Khaseem Greene will likely get more playing time. "Weve worked trades here the last couple of weeks, we just havent found the correct combination of value and player exchange," Emery said. NOTE: To make room for Palmer, Emery said the Bears released TE Steve Maneri. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
