  1. you mean the part where he lost his starter job? His play when harris got hurt was awful. Especially the blow out loss to mtl and the loss to TO. Then also against the green riders in another game ott loss to the other cellar dweller in the cfl in 2016. He had a bad year up and down till the play offs. How many times again did he lose the starter job last year? 3? Certainly nothing even close to his 30 esq year his first back in calgary as the starter.
  2. jennings had the reigns pulled back on him in that first half. He couldnt hit the broad side of a barn reliably. And in the games before and after. Those runs especially the one late in the half stole the game. Not jennings. And even then we had them on the ropes on the last drive. BC would be a dark horse, but i dont see them standing pat. Idk another season like last and hamilton might give up on austin imop. He doesnt seem the type who internalizes loss. either. and they dont have any one behind him able to step in and win. xD yeah other activities rubbing off i guess lol. I dont think it was about being able to afford him as much as glenn wanting starter money and the bombers wanting to save as much as possible. Sending him to FA early and unexpectedly could be a move to shock him into the reality of the market place. did hank leave ssk on bad terms previously? I vaguely remember it being a rough departure. And hank seems the burn the bridge type. That would have been a long time ago now mind you. Ssk would be the last team in the league i would want to sign with if im a QB. that ol is horrible. The fan base is about ready to lynch jones. and they have little to no D behind you.
  3. yeah he says that. Hard to imagine him turning down a starting spot on a contender with the money that goes with it though. assuming durant signs in montreal (if i was him i would want no part of that gong show) assuming To stands pat and sask as you say isnt gonna be an option (and i agree with that) it leaves here or another movement to make it happen. Is ottawa going to guarantee he is the starter with harris' age, early season performance and some of hanks play time last year? Idk. If i am hamilton id be looking to make a move for sure. They have to feel like they could reach out and take the east this year better QB play. And if ott no longer beleives that harris is the future they could be in a position to strike as well. Both those teams are deep and in a spot to contend. But qbs are big question marks. Id be surprised if they dont theory craft situations around changing to durant/nichols. Bc could be a sleeper too. With how terrible jennings was late in the season and in the play offs, and you know wally doesnt sit on his laurels when it comes to qbs. I really dont think much is cemented for QBs next year in the cfl. BLM and reilly are the only guys on that list i see as 100% to start camps this year as the no1 qb.
  4. it was about 30 years.
  5. Yeah. Anakin allways had a chip on his shoulder. Luke has desire, but tempered with reason and responsibility. The clone wars series did anakin soo much better then the prequels. I pretend the prequels are the quality equivalent of how lucas arts treats the EU. It s extra, its there but its not the steak or even the potatos. And yeah thats a great era of stories for star wars. TOR - clone wars is probably the deepest as far as story telling and characters. I heard some one is working on a clone wars era game like Kotor/tor it has a pretty good look. Its alluded to in the EU several times that some place beyond the chartered universe lies a great source of evil. Post return of the jedi luke even said it was soo great he alone wouldnt stand a chance against it. plageuis vaguely mentioned it as well. Could also have to do with the Ones of mortis. There were fragmented periods under the sith in which other sects could have been set up. Bane manipulated the universe from behind the scenes for years with out any one knowing of his existence. Darth vitiate set up a new sith empire out of the way on dromund kaas, etc. Given the content of vader comics/books in recent years and how it paints him I dont see them splitting him into 2 force ghosts. But they could say a portion of vader was imprinted on the helm from before his turning back in return. Kind of like the mass shadow generator or the thought bomb. So you would have the force ghost of anakin and a splinter of dark side power embedded in vaders helm. It could also be a trick by snoke. Or another dark force.
  6. until he signs a deal i dont think it does much. Plus I dont think there is enough leverage in the world to get nichols elite QB money this year. Hank seems to want to start, no surprise. http://www.cfl.ca/2017/01/13/report-burris-decision-could-hinge-on-starting-role/
  7. certainly boom or bust. Itd either be 5k 30 tds 10 picks type of line or out the door. take away hanks GC and his regular season was very 40 esq. Id say they are both in a similar tier. But im skewed against hank.
  8. No kidding. I wonder what they have planned if he signs. Werent they previously asking a fortune for him this off season?
  9. Yeah id say 80% chance nichols is back. 95 if durant signs with montreal now. Bold list. Ray soo high is interesting. As a back up i could see it but man i would be worried if he went into the season as the starter.
  10. Burris in terms of quality, maybe. Burris the head case I dont think would fit in. And cant stand. Franklin starting would be about as worry some to me as davis.
  11. please please please please let them revert these awful PI calls. Speed up the review process. If they do that, and dont do any thing too crazy it would be great. They have changed the game soo much in the past fist full of years it would be really nice to just have some small changes and tweaks. rather then whole sale change.
  12. Maul was an instrument for sidious and plagueis. Sidious was actually pretty disdainful of most of the "lesser" alien races. Maul was a great natural talent and physical specimen because sidious got him pretty much as a baby and raised him for that purpose. He was never an actual candidate for sidious to keep as an apprentice. Vaders connection to the force was kind of funny. Due to the amount of tech that replaced and propped up his body he was prematurely peaked in terms of power. Also not all sith force users have an affinity for dark side magic. The sith had several areas of study and anakin/vader was more in the Bane line of pursuit. Vader and sidious were also contemptuous for each other. With vader making plans to over throw sidious and sidous saddling vader with bureaucrats etc. I dont think there is any chance snoke is vader. I really doubt it would be any one from the original trilogy. Even from the EU. I expect itll be more of an alluded to dark force off in uncharted distant regions of space. If it is some one from the EU or OT, i would be pretty thrilled so long as its done well. I think he became heavily disillusioned with the jedi and the line between good and bad. And decided to walk his own path. But got stuck in the gravity and web of sidious.

    yeah. after this he is probably a loss away from bellator/rizin too. khabib vs tony ferguson at 209 for the interim LW belt. great fight, soo stupid to have yet another interim belt. and soo soon. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/1/12/14259888/mma-news-announces-khabib-nurmagomedov-tony-ferguson-interim-lw-title-at-ufc-209
  14. yeah its too bad. Would have loved to have him here. OR see him go and get used some where.
  15. i cant see that happening. Hes still played well enough to back up or 3rd string some where. And that with a 2nd rate d4 team around him. Not to mention that skill set will draw attention. We arent talking about jamarcus russell here. At this rate maybe in 2-3 years. If he doesnt just retire.
  16. I dont see TO. They re worked willys contract, ray is still there etc. Plus that awful OL and lack of offensive weapons is a poor fit for him. Hamilton would be a great move, ottawa too if hank leaves / retires. I wonder if sask could be a fit if durant leaves.
  17. yes but the rider hype machine isnt dependent on playing time. plus the rider fans have that heavy tendency of who ever we have is super awesome and who ever leaves was never that good any way. Its easy to fall in love with a QB in practice too. No real rush, no hitting em, It allows the raw tool set to really shine. Guys like mcleod bethel thompson for instance. Or Robert marve. Tee martin in his first TC was constantly in the freep write up for making a great run or showing serious zip on the ball etc.
  18. His death was really weak. Especially for such a gritty character. That would have been awesome. But I feel like they are going away from the various alien races more.
  19. probably right. I didnt watch enough of him last year to say if hes gotta slide in but thats allways a possibility.
  20. It was supposed to be a much greater role but they didnt have time to do it. Thats why hes being pushed down to rebels to get the rest of the story arc done. The voice was messed up in the movie, and it was a waste of a great actor. I didnt find saw gerrera that memorable in clone wars. But it was such a deep series. Fixing anakin, bringing in the likes of asajj and ahsoka. It still didnt do a great job with general grevious though. I guess they couldnt throw in ahsoka though. Thatd blow what ever they are gonna do with her in rebels.
  21. I wonder if we would have interest in bourke. Or if he'd be accepting reduced rate. He didnt have much to work with in TO.
  22. It had a bunch of tips and nods to the EU, and the clone wars and rebels tv series. You see the ghost twice, hear general syndulla paged etc. I was disappointing when they looked like they were gonna do Grand admiral thrawn but as a human, yet some how more disappointing when it wasnt him. Over all I liked it, much better then the 3 other prequels. Not nearly as good as the top 3.
  23. Thought rogue one was good. Not as good as TFA but miles better then the other prequels. Really sets up and cleans up a new hope a lot. Im gonna have to go back and re watch a new hope now. Its not a new movie but i watched last chance U on netflix. It follows a juco power house football team and its players. Playmakers was all right, Blue mountain state was pretty funny, This was much better. On par with some of the better football offerings. In part because its real players and real people, but because it isnt spun. The look you get is very raw and it doesnt paint bad guys. You can really see different views and sides of the various situations.
  24. much of that was probably due to davis needing snaps and evaluation of the depth qbs. With some of the hits nichols took late in the year having him vs having davis be the next guy in was still huge. But it is a head scratcher imop. I would have loved to have him back as the no2 and push the no1 in TC. I wonder what the reasoning was behind doing this now? Does some other team want to sign him or does he want to shop him self around? Are we going to be tighter with the cap then expected? Maybe they have a line on a better qb situation. Will be interesting to see either way.
  25. Aaron sanchez has hired the boras co to represent him as agents.... bad news for the jays. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/01/aaron-sanchez-hires-boras-corporation.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook
