we're going to have to reserve a spot for Robert Munsch soon, this one is a real heartbreaker, I really hate Dementia

It is but if I corrected him I wouldn't have been able to use the quote. The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit - W. Somerset Maugham

JT's last two years playing in this league. 2021-22 Chicago Blackhawks NHL 71 12 25 37 39 -14 -- -- -- -- -- 2022-23 Chicago Blackhawks NHL 53 15 16 31 43 -31 -- -- -- -- -- Here's hoping he feels rejuvenated and is ready to roll. Wear that Jersey proud Mr. Winnipegger. Go Jets Go.

Jim Barker says what

In a way I get this, as it does pertain to the health of the players. I guess all you really need to do is watch the db's tackling, and you can see the effect of the limited practice time/amounts. Interesting that it doesn't talk about film time...is that unlimited?

STRAIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT FIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!

SOME OF THESE RESPONSES ARE STRAIGHT FIRE, YO!

Which was his problem last year too. He was solid when he got in last year though. Just seems odd to me the idea some people have that anyone we cut MUST go be a superstar somewhere else ornelse they are a scrub... there's a whole wide area in between... plus we already dress and play more than our own fair share of scrubs.

That’s a terrible comparison. You don’t *have* to respond if you have nothing to add.

I thought it was get your 'cheques for free.....I guess 'chicks' works too

Any player that has been kicked in the nards knows the feeling...one of searing pain and the thoughts of 'will my nutsack ever be the same' and the family jewels ever drop back out of my throat, where their supposed to be...Not fond memories

Yeah I think we all agree to some extent...with varying points of view Fact of matter regardless of partial...full...or he grew a third one that was dangling in the way...he was gonna go down for good...or make it worse...and just delayed his comeback date a season essentially ..and well he went down for good the first game they tried it...applaud him for wanting to but the powers that be should have thanked him but said no beueno And he was kinda gimpy...no explosion...couldn't separate...and had alligator arms...also on the pick that went back to the house...he couldn't cut and come back effectively...and yhe db jumped it...he was playing in a limited capacity OSH also has a history of playing guys Cleary not good to go...so id give him zero leeway there

Hardly...what we do...and what other teams do is rather insignificant. We used an import da spot on a fullback for 6 snaps a game....didnt see anyone else run out and replicate that move of genius

Garbutt is hurt...has been for most yr And I agree...we I think are telling WJ that's his role at times You can see games..like grey cup..and some this yr if they turn him loose he causes chaos He needs 2 ...3 running mates to really make him effective...he is far from regression or lost it A true nose or DT would help all our ends too

Yes

Now post, but with MORE YELLING!

Now that's straight fire!

Brady O...

Seems fairly obvious that the last 2 seasons they are using Willie far less in the pass rush and taking advantage of his knock down ability and ability to almost become a 4th LB. Garbutt was a scrub and is doing nothing in Hamilton too. The guy has 4 sacks in his career. He was exactly the kind of guy we needed to let walk and upgrade. The problem most certainly isn't letting scrubs like Garbutt and Fox go. The problem is when we let scrubs go we aren't able to even upgrade over that.

Well the best I can do to describe what straight fire is is have someone kick you right in the junk and wait for the feeling that incurs.

I don't disagree that playing him was risky. However, he had a pretty decent stat line in that game and made some real clutch plays. Until the OT throw he was playing very well. Unfortunate he got hurt because it was one of his best games of the season and certainly miles better than anything Dillon Mitchell has done all year. He certainly didn't hamper, and only enhanced our ability to compete that game. As a general rule I don't like rolling out guys that are injured, but we certainly don't know how he looked in practice, and that would have been a huge factor in the decision. Hindsight is 20/20. If he wasn't good enough to go I have every faith that Couture would have shut him down. If he didn't look ready to go I don't think MOS would have played him and he certainly looked good that entire game. It is unfortunate he reinjured himself but that was the direction the player chose to take, and he looked ready to perform. He wasn't gimpy by any stretch of the imagination.

[citation needed] We are talking about an Athletic Therapist... not an orthopedic surgeon or anything too right? His job is to do non-invasive tests and then refer him to specialists. It's not going to be malpractice if he goes 'his knee is ******' and the specialist agrees, and the team allows him to trot himself out there in a huge ass knee brace to approximate the support a functioning ACL would give him. It might rise to the level of malpractice he is failed to (or incorrectly gave) give the Lachman test, and then sent him back out there with a couple strips of KT Tape or something... but obviously there was a plan, go on the 6 game, attempt to rehab, go out there in a brace and give it your best shot. Some choice quotes about this https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/09/05/schoens-2025-campaign-ends https://www.sportsnet.ca/cfl/article/blue-bombers-wr-dalton-schoen-out-for-season-with-torn-acl/ But I think this argument is starting to miss the forest for the trees... what is absolutely fact is that going into a crucial home-and-home series against your biggest rival, immediately after a game where your backup QB (who also was less than 1 year removed from ACL surgery) had to take significant snaps at receiver, they decided the best thing for the WR corps was trotting out someone they KNEW only had one good knee... it was mostly just dumb luck that he made it all the way to the end of the game or else we would have been seeing more of Streveler WR4 again. https://www.bluebombers.com/alain-couture/ It would be funny if a team had a page for their Head Athletic Therapist and didn't goose him up a bit "Hey this is our Athletic Therapist. He's pretty mid, but he tries his best and we love him anyways"

would they not have said partially torn then? If it was partial... And he would have consulted with the physician first....not the AT.... You can sure....rehab a partially torn one minimally....and with success as a non-athlete....but without surgery the risk to fully tearing a given playing sports....joe schmoe on the street can live with it....rest...therapy and drugs can help....but dont fix also.....thing to consider...the recovery time for a partial tear is similar to that of a complete tear for both surgical and non surgical options....so there is that too, and no way shape or form did he accumulate 10 to 12 months of rehab on the 6 game (generally the timeframe to get back on field....not necessarily back to where you were) ....and why I say either way....there was no way any "rehab" was beneficial enough to allow him to play and was just postponing the inevitable....surgery and 12 months of rehab...and was stupid....not well thought out and pointless...as we saw where is the literature regarding our therapist as most respected in Canada....curious....not saying he's not good...as he is and I have worked with him so know all about him...but I have never heard that said anywhere but here

show me your receipts...I dont recall an instance where is was way out in loony tunes land yeah...when there is scheme u=issues....roster deficiencies...tackling issues....discipline issues....maybe an extra day at the job working on them us helpful?....call my crazy but does that matter tho?

No, it's ok to trash him as a first reaction. There's probably something he deserves it for.
