OTTAWA -- The Ottawa Redblacks lumberjack mascot finally has a name. The CFL expansion team announced Friday its mascot will go by the handle of "Big Joe Mufferaw." The Redblacks received a number of online suggestions from fans, most of whom wanted the CFL clubs mascot named after late Ottawa storyteller Bernie Bedores character. "Our fans spoke and we listened," said Jeff Hunt, the president of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, which owns the Redblacks. "We heard that fans loved the look of our mascot and hundreds said he had to be Big Joe Mufferaw. "We like that name too because it reminds us of our citys past and fits so well into the branding of our football team." Hunt said he connected with Bedores family about using the name. Bedore wrote several books aimed at youngsters that illustrated the tall-tale lumberjacking exploits of Big Joe Mufferaw. "Were delighted to continue dads legacy through a new series of books for kids," said Judy Bedore, the late storytellers daughter. "This initiative will bring Big Joe Mufferaw and the history of the lumber industry in our region into the hearts and minds of a new generation of young people for years to come." Big Joe Mufferaw was also immortalized in a famous song from Canadian country-folk legend Stompin Tom Connors. The Redblacks will kick off their inaugural season July 3 in Winnipeg, with their first home game scheduled for July 18 versus Toronto.

Were going to have a chance to get some guys back, coach Chuck Pagano said Friday. Its an opportunity to take another look at ourselves from a self-scout standpoint, kind of assess where were at and how we can get better in all three phases.A month ago, an uncharacteristically chaotic start put the Colts plans in peril.Robert Mathis, the 2013 NFL sacks champion, was suspended for the first four games because he violated the NFLs performance-enhancing substance policy and will miss the rest of the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon during a private workout while he was away from the team. Irsay was suspended six games and banned from social media by Commissioner Roger Goodell after pleading guilty to a misdemeanour count of driving while intoxicated. Indy then started the season by losing back-to-back games for the first time in Paganos three-year tenure.Since then, Indy has reverted more to the norm.Luck followed the longest losing streak of his pro career by matching a career best with four straight wins. He not only leads the league with 17 TD passes, but he also has completed a career-high 66.2 per cent of his throws and is on pace to become the first Colts quarterback to top 5,000 yards. Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton are ranked among the NFLs receiving leaders, and Indy (4-2) has topped the 30-point mark three times in its last four games.The latest victory, 33-28 over the Texans, also allowed the Colts to seize control of the division. They now llead Houston (3-3) by one game and are 3-0 against division foes, with two of those wins coming on the road.ddddddddddddI think we have a lot of backbone on this team and thats been Coach Paganos ethos since Ive been with the Colts, Luck said Thursday night after the win.After the break, the Colts could get even better. Theyve relied on a mishmash of interior offensive linemen to survive the last three weeks. Now theyre hoping the extra rest will allow starting guards Jack Mewhort (ankle) and Hugh Thornton (back) to return Oct. 19 against Cincinnati.Inside the team complex, the return of Irsay was welcomed, too.We havent had a chance to talk face-to-face yet, a couple of texts here and there, Pagano said. Obviously, its great to know that he (Irsay) is going to be back full-time with us in the building and all that stuff. I know hes extremely excited about where were at, the big win obviously yesterday and all that stuff.Irsay had never missed a game as team owner and was eager to get back in the mix Friday. While he wasnt available for interviews Friday afternoon, he did break his silence on Twitter with one of his trademark contests.Oh hell, lets just give away some stuff to the best sports fans in the world,Colts Fans! Irsay wrote in announcing the contest. Good Luck and I mean Luck because 4 in a row and 1st place is sweet!Colts fans, meanwhile, couldnt ask for much more.The offence is clicking on all cylinders, the defence and kick coverage continue to get better, and Indianapolis has reclaimed its spot as the AFC South leader.Were No. 1 right now in the AFC South and that was the plan coming in to this game, running back Ahmad Bradshaw said. Just take advantage of this opportunity and run with it.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
