The football future of Hamilton Tiger-Cat Chris Williams should soon become clearer as the all-star receivers claim for immediate free agency goes to arbitration on Thursday. Williams, who had 1,298 receiving yards and scored 17 touchdowns last season, remains under contract to the Tiger-Cats for what would be his third CFL season in 2013. However, Williams agent, Dan Vertlieb, is attempting to free his client from the final year of that deal, presumably to pursue opportunities in the National Football League. While both Vertlieb and the Tiger-Cats have declined comment on the matter, it is believed the case may hinge on whether the Tiger-Cats can prove they offered Williams the option of committing for just two seasons instead of three. Williams contract was arranged by his previous agent, who was not certified by the CFL Players Association, another possible point of contention in the case. The Tiger-Cats have offered to tear up Williams current contract if he agrees to sign a new one that would make him one of the CFLs highest-paid non-quarterbacks. But that invitation has been turned down. Williams dispute with his team went public a few months ago when he Tweeted to a former college teammate that he did not plan to return to Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats subsequently put out a statement saying they expected to see him at the start of training camp. The CFL used to allow players entering the option years of their contracts to try out with NFL teams during the off-season. However, the league eliminated that provision as part of its latest CBA, which means players such as Williams must fulfill the full extent of their contracts before shopping their services to NFL teams. It is unclear how long it will take for there to be a ruling on the matter.Soccer Jerseys Stitched . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.The last time the F1 circus turned up in Hockenheim for the German Grand Prix, I dont think anyone noticed we were here. Despite a World Cup-based ticket offer that gave fans the chance of up to €70 off the cost of tickets, roughly seven people (I exaggerate...) turned up to watch the weekends track action.The poor turnout in 2014 led to understandable hand-wringing about the future of the German Grand Prix, and questions about the future sustainability of the race given that the German fanbase didnt seem to feel the same passion for the likes of Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg that it once had for their beloved Red Baron, Michael Schumacher.This time around, with weekend ticket sales said to be over 50,000 (the joke in the paddock today has been that theyve sold 50,001...), it is impossible to miss the fact that Formula One is in town. Hockenheim is certainly well short of the 60,000 fans needed to break even, and when the first of the shuttles from the media car park arrived at the paddock gates this morning it was clear that the German circuit has gone for Shanghai spec grandstands, covering up large swathes of empty seats in the stadium complex with Rolex advertising.Despite the continued lack of interest in the race, however, F1s presence is unmissable thanks to the added security that has set up camp at the Hockenheimring -- and in the nearby towns and villages -- in the wake of a month of violent attacks in Germany, some of which have been linked with Isis activity.As a high-profile event with guaranteed global media coverage, the German Grand Prix is perceived to be a possible target for trouble-makers of any persuasion. There are concerns that the race will be subject to attempted attacks by those determined to ensure that their particular platform receives maximum exposure, similar to the concerns over attempted violence at the Euro2016 football matches held earlier this summer.From the minute we landed in Stuttgart on Wednesday afternoon it was clear that Germany was on high alert, with a visible police presence in and around the airport and added checks at customs. Arriving in Mannheim, the city centre was a sun-soaked paradise filled with people lazing about in parks and sipping frosty beers in pavement cafes. But behind every corner lucked dozens of police cars, riot vehicles, and armoured carss.dddddddddddd A similar police presence could be seen along the roads to Hockenheim this morning.This focus on security -- while both vital and reassuring -- could also prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the German Grand Prix.Since 18 July, Germany has seen four attacks on home soil. The BBC reported: On 18 July, a teenage Afghan refugee hacked at passengers on a train in Wuerzburg with an axe and knife, wounding five. He was shot dead by police. On 22 July, a German teenager of Iranian heritage shot dead nine people in Munich before shooting himself dead. On 24 July, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee killed a woman with a machete and wounded five other people as he fled before being arrested. Later that day, a 27-year-old Syrian whose refugee application had been refused blew himself up outside a bar in Ansbach. Fifteen people were wounded.While the attacks were not linked, and Isis has claimed responsibility only for the attack in Wuerzberg (the Ansach bomber had proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic State, although IS has not confirmed the connection), Germany currently has the feeling of a country under siege. That siege is made all the more complex by the lack of an obvious enemy.Many of those who had been considering a last-minute trip to the race in Hockenheim this weekend will weigh up the risk of going to a high-profile event with a sizeable group of people and determine that the reward is not worth the potential risk. Large groups are now targets, and large groups at an event being broadcast globally are in greater risk due to the instant global exposure any attack would generate.The Hockenheim promoters have been relying on late purchases to boost the audience to above the 60,000 needed to break even, something that looks increasingly unlikely in the current climate.And its a real (albeit understandable) shame, for since the F1 circus last visited Baden-Württemberg in 2014 a lot of work has been done -- with limited resources -- to improve the Hockenheim experience for fans, media, and team personnel alike. It is cruelly ironic that securing Hockenheim from potential threats could well be what prevents the circuit from securing its future place on the F1 calendar... ' ' '
