BREAKING NEWS AT OTTAWACITIZEN.COM THE OTTAWA CITIZEN B2 WEDNESDAY. JULY 27. 2011 SPORTS No clearance for Calvillo yet Heart attack claims assistant 7 i. -3 to return, believes he fell on the side of the head. He can only surmise it was his helmet pushing or rubbing against the eye that caused the damage and soreness.

He won't change helmets, but might have more air pumped in so it sits more secure on his head. "But this is football. You're going to get hit, and sometimes injuries occur," he said. "If I dont see correctly I'm not going to play. I have to make sure my vision is 100 per cent It (his vision) still comes in and out" The Als will practice once this week, on Wednesday, before departing by train to Hamilton the following day.

Trestman maintained Wednesday's workout will be abbreviated. It should speak volumes on hich quarterback the coach expects to play, since his mandate is to get the starter prepared to face the Ticats. Adrian McPherson, now in his fourth season with the Als, replaced Calvillo, struggled early, but rallied Montreal to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. He also drove the team to the Saskatchewan 24 on the first possession of the second half before a third-down gamble failed. POSTMEDIA NEWS JOHN KfcNNtY, MtOlA Nt AS Bombers Longtime defensive line coach was 63 BY ADAM WAZNY WINNIPEG Richard Harris, the longtime defensive line coach with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, died Tuesday.

He was 63. Harris is survived by his wife Tami; their four children, Kimberly, Chianti, Jennifer, Michael; and three grand children, Chandler, Keegan-MichaeL and Aurora. Harris suffered a heart attack inside the team complex after the club moved indoors from practice. An ambulance arrived shortly after he collapsed, and he was taken to hospital. "This has struck our entire organization from the top down," Bomber president Jim Bell said in a release.

"We are all in a state of shock and first and foremost would like to express our deepest sympathies to his family. The Winnipeg Football Club has lost not only a great coach, but an even better man This season marked his sixth season with the Bombers and prior to this year, he was named assistant head coach to Winnipeg head coach Paul La Police. Harris was a popular figure iTT nIT? rJ Montreal Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo developed blurred vision in the right eye last Sunday certainly hopes Calvillo will play and is optimistic his condition will improve sufficiently over the coming days. But the quarterback still hasn't received medical clearance. "I'm certainly optimistic," Trestman said.

"Based on the rumblings, I feel pretty good he'll be available. But we'll see." Trestman's less optimistic about safety Etienne Boulay, who suffered a mild concus 'Absolutely nuts' Montreal QB's vision 'not where it needs to be' BY HERB ZURKOWSKY MONTREAL A quarterback of course even one as proficient as Anthony Calvillo requires two good eyes to perform at his maximum level. And so, although his left eye always has been stronger, the Alouettes' pivot was understandably concerned when he developed blurred vision in the right eye last Sunday, against Saskatchewan. "It was concerning, because I had never felt (anything like) it before," Calvillo admitted on Tuesday before team meetings at Olympic Stadium. "It wasn't the outside, it was the inside of the eye that hurt.

I couldn't see. That concerned me. As the night went on, it got better, but it's still not where it needs to be." Predictably, there's still no definitive word on whether the 18-year Canadian Football League veteran will play Friday night, when the Als attempt to end their one-game losing streak at Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats are on a two-game winning streak after beginning the season with two defeats. Head coach Marc Trestman NFL: Continued from page Bl Indeed, several agents said they didn't expect to sleep Tuesday as the NFL reopened for business after 4 months.

In addition to their clients already in the league who are unrestricted or restricted free agents, they will have veterans released. And they are trying to set up youngsters, such as college starters safety Winston Venable of Boise State (Chicago) and quarterback Jerrod Johnson of Texas (Philadelphia), with teams after they were passed over in April's draft "I always have a lot of guys in that category, and it's been absolutely nuts," said agent Joe Linta, who placed Michigan State tight end Char-he Gantt with the Chiefs and Cal receiver Jeremy Ross with the Patriots on Tuesday. He also fielded calls from a dozen teams for Utah defensive tackle Sealver Siliga before he signed with San Francisco. There are times when you are fielding four or five calls at once," added Linta. "Multiply, say, 10 guys you are trying to get signed by maybe three to 10 teams interested you do the math." The math adds up to hundreds of transactions in a few days, as opposed to a few weeks had there not been a 4 -month labor stoppage.

"I think the best way to say it is whatever you can imagine, it's probably worse than that," Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "There is multitasking at its most furious." Normally, teams would bring in players to visit their JOE buifA, MlNhlffte (at PtlS Winnipeg Blue Bomber assistant coach Richard Harris succumbed to a heart attack on Tuesday. around the organization and in the city. A large man witfl a famous deep and booming voice, the always friendly Harris would often engage fans at practice, inquiring about their well being and taking the time to listen to the response. Harris has been a defensive coach in the CFL since 2001, when he joined the B.C.

Lions. Harris also coached in Ottawa (2005), spending one season with the Renegades before joining Doug Berry's coaching staff in Winnipeg for the 2006 season. The Shreveport, Louisiana native played seven years in the NFL as a defensive end, originally drafted by Philadelphia in the first round of the 1971 NFL draft (fifth overall).

And doctors did not find a tear to his retina. Calvillo, who was intercepted on the play and failed won't let Palmer go Palmer," Brown said. "He was a splendid player for us.

He's a good person. I wish him well. And he is retired. That is his choice. I'm not expecting him to be back." Asked why he wouldn't trade Palmer and get some draft picks in return, Brown said it was a matter of principle.

"Carson signed a contract. He made a commitment. He gave his word," Brown said. "We relied on his word. We relied on his commitment.

We expected him to perform here." THE ASSOCIATED PRESS enough extra time to watch video and dissect the games of every free agent on the market Maybe that's not such a great think; overanalysis has destroyed the chances of many an NFL team through the years. And now there's the added element of all those vets being released. "In this climate, anything's possible," said Ravens coach John Harbaugh, whose team will release Heap, receiver Derrick Mason and running back Willis McGahee. "You may have an opportunity to bring some of those guys back. You may not It just depends on how things shake out the next couple of days," Harbaugh said.

At least in 2012, things will return to normality. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 2011 KenKcn Puzztt www.kenkvnx CHMIENGING Orioles hammer Blue Jays ORIOLES 12, BLUE JAYS 4 TORONTO J.J. Hardy hit a pair of home runs and finished with four RBI as the Baltimore Orioles easily took care of the Toronto Blue Jays, 12-4, in the opener of a three-game set at Rogers Centre. Derrek Lee also had a strong outing for the O's with four hits and five knocked in as he registered a two-run home run in the top of the eighth inning. Nolan Reimold also homered for the visitors as they captured their second win in the last three outings.

Baltimore pitcher Jake Ar-rieta (10-7), who was hit with a batted ball on the foot before leaving the game following the fifth inning, permitted four runs on five hits and a pair of walks. Arrieta struck out four and survived a pair of home runs to pick up the win. Adam Lind hit his 19th home run for the Blue Jays, a three-run shot in the third inning as the hosts bowed for the third time in the last four games. For Lind, it was his fifth straight game against the Orioles with a home run. Yunel Escobar and Aaron Hill posted two hits apiece.

Toronto slugger Jose Bau-tista made an early exit in the bottom of the third when he was hit in the head by an Arrieta fastball. Bautista appeared to be alright and is being listed as day-to-day. THE SPORTS NETWORK Bengals owner says he CINCINNATI Bengals owner Mike Brown insisted on Tuesday that he won't trade quarterback Carson Palmer, who wants to leave one of the NFL's least-successful franchises. Palmer, who has four years left on his contract, told the team in January that he would retire if he's not traded. The Bengals have only two winning seasons in the last 20 years, one of the worst stretches of futility in league history.

Brown said the club will move on without its franchise quarterback. "I honestly like Carson facilities, have them work out and take physicals, perhaps even attend meetings and speak with potential future teammates. Some of that might happen in the next few days, particularly for a high-profile player such as Aso-mugha. Most of it won't "I think all of the guys realize this is going to be a whole new world," agent Jordan Woy said. "Most said, "Listen, the bottom line is the team I'm with I like.

If somebody out there is really interested, if they come with a great offer up front then we'll look into that' "They realize they're going to have to make quicker, probably less-informed decisions than they have in the past They're just going to have to do best they can."
