VANCOUVER -- The B.C. Lions are extending the contracts of two key front office members. Vice-president of football operations and general manager Wally Buono and chief executive officer Dennis Skulsky both signed contract extensions, keeping them with the Lions through the end of the 2016 season. "The foundation of any successful organization comes from its ability to preserve continuity among its leadership," Lions owner David Braley said in a statement Monday. "The efforts of Dennis and Wally have not only created a winning culture, they have also enabled our organization to expand its role in the community. Under their leadership, the BC Lions brand is stronger and Im pleased to have them leading the way in years to come." Buono, now in his 11th season with the Lions, has led B.C. to 10 straight playoff appearances, seven CFL West finals, three trips to the Grey Cup and two championship titles. "I am grateful for the opportunity to work with coach Mike Benevides to build teams we can be proud of and our fans can be excited about supporting," said Buono. "David and Dennis have been tremendously supportive and I am very excited to continue doing what I love to do each day." Skulsky became the Lions 29th president in 2010. In the past three seasons, hes overseen the teams return to a refurbished BC Place as well as staging the very successful 2011 Grey Cup, when the Lions won their sixth Grey Cup.Rowdy Tellez Jersey .

You see what can happen when he is tired and has little meaning, as in China.We want a top tennis player seen on the court. If every week he is focused on tennis, he might be mentally burned out after six months. He needs an outlet.The ATP, which runs the mens tennis tour, suspended Kyrgios on Monday and fined him an additional $25,000 for conduct contrary to the integrity of the game following an investigation into his behavior dduring a second-round loss to German qualifier Mischa Zverev last week at the Shanghai Masters.ddddddddddddThe No. 12-ranked Kyrgios gave little effort during the 6-3, 6-1 defeat, and had already been fined $16,500 for failing to give a full effort, unsportsmanlike conduct and verbal abuse of a spectator.He was banned until Jan. 15 -- a day before the start of the Australian Open, but the suspension could be reduced to three weeks if Kyrgios agrees to enter a plan of care under the direction of a sports psychologist.Kyrgios issued a statement Monday offering another apology for his conduct in Shanghai, saying he will be back in 2017.Its not the first time that Kyrgios has run into trouble with tennis authorities. Last year, he insulted Stan Wawrinka with crude remarks during a match in Montreal. He received $12,500 in fines, as well as a suspended 28-day ban and a potential further $25,000 fine if he picked up any other major offenses over the following six months. His probation for that ended in February.Kyrgios attracted criticism for his performances at Wimbledon and at the U.S. Open, for deciding not to play at the Olympics because of a spat with an Australian team official, and for firing back at retired players who have offered advice.
