The Rouge takes a look at each team and poses their biggest question heading into the off-season. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Pittsburgh-Steelers/">Personalized Steelers Jersey</a>. Today, the Montreal Alouettes. It may not look it at first glance, but the Montreal Alouettes have a bit of a tricky situation at the QB position to figure out this off-season. Anthony Calvillo hasnt yet decided whether hell return for 2013, but the hope is he saddles up for at least one more season. Thats the good news. The tricky part concerns their long-term future. Adrian McPherson has long now been considered the heir apparent to Calvillo, but he can become a free agent this winter and may jump at the chance to be a starting QB sooner (with another team) than later (with the Als, after Calvillo retires.) GM Jim Popps hands may be tied. Montreal cant, and surely doesnt want to move on from Calvillo before hes ready to call it quits. At 40-years-old, Calvillo proved hes still got it with a 2012 season that saw him throw for more than 5,000 yards and 31 touchdowns. The Als have to know that Calvillos career is nearing the finish line however, and after developing McPherson the first five years of his CFL career, it would have to hurt seeing him succeed as a starter somewhere else. Montreal hasnt had to worry about their starting QB for a very long time – longer than any other team in the league. Will they find a way to continue that streak this off-season, or could it ultimately now be out of their hands? The Rouge asks: How should the Alouettes handle McPherson this off-season? As always, its Your! Call. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-New-England-Patriots/">Personalized Patriots Jersey</a>. Even though the Yankees finished with the best record in the American League at 94-68, under the new format they will play the first two games of this best-of-five series on the road and will cap the set with three games in the Bronx if needed. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Cleveland-Browns/">Personalized Cleveland Browns Jersey</a>. It didnt take very long to notice a difference. George scored a season-high 20 points and the Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak with an 89-85 victory over the winless Washington Wizards. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Washington-Redskins/">http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Washington-Redskins/</a>., each won gold in the 500 metres at the short-track speedskating nationals on Saturday. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Tennessee-Titans/">Custom Titans Jersey</a>.

LOUIS -- St.It doesnt get much bigger than this week for Ryder Hesjedal. Standing second overall in the Giro dItalia, the 31-year-old from Victoria has five stages and 925 kilometres to go before the storied race finishes Sunday in Milan with a 30-kilometre time trial. Hesjedal, the designated leader of the Garmin-Barracuda team, enjoyed a rest day Monday before climbing back on his bike. "Its been tough every day," he said of the two-week trek to date. "This race always has something there to keep the stress high and the pain going." Hesjedal has been up to the challenge, however. The lanky veteran has had two stints in the leaders pink jersey -- making Canadian cycling history in the process. He has powered his way up mountains, endured cold and rain, ridden through the clouds and pushed his body to the limit. So is he enjoying the ride? "Hard to believe but yeah," he told The Canadian Press on Monday. "I mean theres no way you can do it if you didnt. Its too hard, its too long, its too demanding. If you were hating it every moment, you wouldnt be here. "Sure theres hard moments and youre suffering and youd rather be other places, but the rewards you get back from persevering, thats what keeps you here and I wouldnt trade anything for it." Hesjedal is 30 seconds back of Spains Joaquin Rodriguez. Two-time winner Ivan Basso is third, 1:22 behind Rodriguez, followed by Italian Paolo Tiralongo (1:26) and Roman Kreuziger of the Czech Republic (1:27). Defending champion Michele Scarponi of Italy is sixth (1:36). "(Domenico) Pozzovivo is also a gifted climber and thats whats coming up," Hesjedal said of the 13th-placed Italian (3:17). "The differences can be a lot bigger now once you hit these high mountains." Whatever happens, Hesjedal has no regrets. "Im completely satisfied with this race to date," said the Canadian. "Ill just take every day as a bonus and see how far I can take it to Milan. Definitely a race I wont forget. Its just been great. "I based a lot of my season around this race at the start of the year. Kind of sitting back and not pushing at a few races that I like to (push) and really having to hold back. Its worked out well." Hesjedal had identified the races final week as one in which he could profit. He has good endurance, climbs well and is also good in time trials. He has also finished strongly in his last two Tour De France rides The stages of the final week are classified as one flat, one medium mountain and three high mountains before the deciding time trial. "Its more of the first two weeks. I mean every days hard," said Hesjedal. "Theres always something, theree are always critical parts of each stage. <a href="http://www.customnflstore.com/Customized-Detroit-Lions/">Customized Lions Jersey</a> Ive had to race the first two weeks at a very high level being near the front, chasing the (pink) jersey and defending the jersey, being in the jersey. "So every days been hard and important. And this last week, its the same. Even the medium mountain days, (as) they call them, in the first two weeks were brutal. Its been that way the whole race ... Im just going to keep doing what Ive been doing, thats all there is to it. "Were in the groove now, and we just keep pushing through and it will be over before we know it." Hesjedal has already shown in the Tour de France that he is a force to be reckoned with. In 2010, after teammate Christian Vande Velde crashed, Hesjedal took over the Garmin leaders mantle and finished seventh overall But his third Giro campaign has shown more evidence of his mettle. He won the pink jersey back Saturday with a lung-busting break near the end of a summit that earned him some precious distance from his fellow general classification rivals. Hesjedal said there was no pre-planning. He just felt good and saw an opportunity to gain an advantage when some of his rivals found themselves without support. "I figured Id see how my legs would respond and get the ball rolling. I was able to just stick to it and benefit." Rodriguez repaid the favour Sunday, winning it back with a sortie of his own in a stage that went to lone wolf rider Matteo Rabottini. The Italian rose much of the mountainous stage by himself, fighting off the challenge of Rodriguez in the final metres. "I think thats the beauty of the sport. He was able to probably do more than he thought he was capable of," Hesjedal said of Rabottinis defiant finish. Hesjedal and his teammates rode stationary bikes Monday, just to keep the legs loose. The rest of the day was "mostly just sleeping in, having a good lunch and not having the stress of the racing." Tuesdays 16th stage is a mainly uphill 173-kilometre ride from Limone sul Garda to Falzes/Pfalzen. Hesjedal will be back on his primary race bike after being forced to use his spare bike Sunday because of a drive train issue. "Theyre as close as can be to being the same but its just never the same once youve been riding a bike for a couple of months -- the way the seats broken in and those sorts of things. Its not the same but sometimes you have to deal with it." In other Canadian news, Dominique Rollin of Boucherville, Que., stands 126th, ahead of Christian Meier of Sussex, N.B., in 137th and Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., in 162nd. Rollin is riding for the French FDJ team while Meier are Tuft are with Australias GreenEdge. ' ' '
