Before I begin expressing my goals and desires for the 2013 Purolator Tackle Hunger program, I have to express a feeling of humility and thanks in regard for what was achieved in 2012. Through the awareness and generosity of CFL fans from across the country, we were able to raise over one million pounds of food for people we may not even know. People of all sizes and types, backgrounds and locations. People that could be your neighbor or friend, or even those that you dont know and never will. It was a wonderful collective accomplishment that allowed me to speak in front of our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper and many other at the Commissioners brunch on Grey Cup morning. A standing ovation was achieved in acknowledgment of the significance of the benefits of the program, and although it was I who was physically present it was also my representation of you, all those who made a difference in helping people with the basics of existence and dignity. It was inspiring to consider how good people can be when given an achievable goal that involves putting others in the forefront . Yes, we all can do great things, and I want to do it again. The 2013 Purolator Tackle Hunger program will begin in Vancouver July the 20th when the Lions host the Eskimos. Here are the other key dates: Friday, July 26th - Calgary at WinnipegFriday, August 9th - Saskatchewan at Calgary Saturday, August 24th - Saskatchewan at Edmonton Saturday, September 14th, Toronto at Saskatchewan Saturday, September 21st, Calgary at Hamilton in Moncton Friday, October 4th, Hamilton at Toronto Monday, October 14th, Toronto at Hamilton (on Thanksgiving)Sunday, October the 20th, Hamilton at Montreal I believe that we can realistically once again reach one million pounds of food donated over the course of this CFL season. To get us started, Im making a personal donation of $1000 to each individual city involved. I do this because of the effort that you have all made in the past and will make again this season. $1000 is equal to 2000lbs of food so we are off to a good start. Last year was an accomplishment but that was last year, and we want to reach our goal again this year. I hope for 2013 is that we all use our time and resources to benefit more than ourselves and by doing so re-create our feeling of accomplishment from last year.

Hes one of the greatest. Hes our leader.Teammates confirmed that Roethlisberger practiced some with the first team and scout team on Monday. He also participated in 7-on-7 drills and ran the no-huddle offense during the teams competition period.From what I saw, it was very encouraging, Gilbert said. He threw the ball and he moved around in the pocket pretty good. Its just a matter if hes game ready and if hes willing and able to take those hits because (the Ravens) will be coming and he has to do whats in his best interest so he doesnt have any setbacks.If Roethlisberger cant go, fourth-year veteran Landry Jones is likely to start. Jones finished 29 of 47 for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception during a loss against New England.Landry did a great job, wide receiver Markus Wheaton said. No disrespect to Landry, but Bens our guy. It was exciting to see him get out there and sling it a little bit.Still, several teammates indicated they would like to see Roethlisberger return on Sunday only if hes 100 percent healthy.We want him back, but at the same time, I dont want him to be playing through a lot of pain, running back LeVeon Bell said. It depends on how he feels during the course of the wweek, but I dont want him to rush back.ddddddddddddWe have a long season ahead and were going to need him down the stretch. Im sure hell be smart about it.Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is expected to provide an update on Tuesday. The team doesnt have to provide an official injury report until after Wednesdays practice, but teammates were encouraged to see Roethlisberger practice on Monday.As a leader on this team, and a guy coming off surgery like that, to come out and practice is huge, center Maurkice Pouncey said. It just shows his willingness to win and how much he cares about this team and the organization.I know all the guys around here appreciate that.Roethlisberger injured his left knee during a loss against Miami. He underwent surgery the following day and missed a home loss against New England the next Sunday, though he jogged onto the field to greet his defensive teammates and was spotted walking in the locker room without a limp.Roethlisberger began throwing passes during individual portions of practice two days later, just eight days after surgery.Now, he could be nearing an early return.Bens a competitor and he just wants to be out there with his team, so you can never count him out, Gilbert said. He loves football, he breathes football, and for him to be out there to push us, it gives us high hopes.Game notesGilbert (ankle), Wheaton (shoulder) and defensive end Cameron Heyward (hamstring) all practiced on Monday. Gilbert missed the previous three games, while Heyward sat out the past two. Wheaton is dealing with a lingering shoulder issue and missed four of the Steelers first seven games, including the past two.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
