That fundamental flaw will allways keep it from being great. That and the fact the era it came out in allowed it to shock audiences a great deal. The fact her weak an uninteresting story is one of the better ones out side of tony alone kills it. How many great shows are 1 character deep? Got does ramp up the sex and violence, but so did the sopranos for its era. The difference is you are compelled in good and bad ways about the people having sex. With out that, you have spartacus light. The early 2 or so season of soa was hands down better then sopranos. You can chase back precursors as far as you want, mash set up this stuff ages ago. Take away the shock and sopranos stands up far worse then it did originally. Not to mention the sopranos was and is the god father light. No joke, the last thing televised media needs is another big influx of reality tv...

Or colling, etc. But yeah it would tend to say we are drafting a DL at some point.

I think colling is better in general then ekakitie, certianly more pro ready. Both face some adjustments coming from a different type of football and playing nose. I hope we arent stuck on ekakitie first over all. I find it kind of hard to believe too. 1, our front office plays things close to the chest and 2 he doesnt seem like the type of guy our organization targets.

idk i would say all in the family was multi faceted. it had every thing. a mistake no one would make about a great show

thats a great point. You have a small window to try and get an entire picture. Adjusting the waggle, yard off the ball, and on top of that 1 on 1s isnt a strong suit for some guys.

agree greatly. I re watched it last year and it didnt hold up as well as id a thought. On top of that i allways thought it was kind of full of it self. Greatest drama? Breaking bad, game of thrones, MASH, The original law and order, the west wing, the X files, friday night lights, the twilight zone, star trek, and all in the family. I havent seen stranger things, the wire, oz, mad men or house of cards but those are reputedly in that top tier. DR.who isnt my cup of tea but certainly worthy of mention. Same with Roots. The sopranos tends to fall over it self too often. Trying to make you care about the kids only to see them turn into bigger piles of junk, same with camilla. The villains allways feel soft compared to tony. Like as soon as he gets over him self he will just crush them. It seemed too often that things happened for the sake of happening. Like the assault on his therapist. The show is really one character deep. Can you imagine any of the others having a show based around them? The mark of a great show is supporting characters soo strong they could hold up their own story. The shows listed that ive seen all have that ability. Thats even more true in a drama show. As the bread and butter is compelling story, not comedy, action or horror. Id take deadwood, 24, the rockford files, and soa and the next tier over sopranos as well.

Yeah, the inconsistency of their commission back to the late 90s with muay thai and kick boxing was awful. We had such a good gate here Im surprised we havent seemed to have a sniff at a return event.

next up is the insider info post, so and so rookie to replace denmark/johnson, and asap the lets jump all over insert back up QB here, nuts.

same, his size and athleticism should keep him kicking around in the nfl for a long while. I havent seen it mentioned (maybe i missed it) But an interesting db with winnipeg roots was added. Would be a nice depth pick to back up and play teams. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/11/intriguing-canadian-defensive-back-abubakkar-conteh-added-to-2017-cfl-draft/ Also according to 3downnation kwaku boateng, a kicker, and jordan herdman, all have accepted mini camp invites with nfl teams. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/30/last-night-nfl-moves-shake-cfl-draft/ He gives some really interesting stats on priority / none priority FAs trickle down rate.

I think the glutt at wr and cb are guys that they arent sure the fit of. New guys could be moved around a good bit to find their ideal position. Its a bit soon to have a depth chart imop with the draft pending and us having 3 high picks. If we took judge, he waggoner, and hurl could provide full time NI spot in the lbing core via rotation.

eh, not a fan of passing on pure talent that needs to be coached up. You can certainly have too many of those guys, but teaching up guys like that is the mark of a great coach / staff. Tons and tons of players go pro because they are great athletes and its their best chance in life. And a LOT of great players are in that boat. If you have a team full of rudy's you might have a great story and a feel good team but still get smashed by stamps esq teams year in and year out. Our most recent grey cup appearance was probably closer to the opposite of that, and we got smashes with our character guys soo long that mos was on the hot seat early last year. Remember some of the antics we saw with milt and blink? Would they have been cut?

Never been a fan of QBR. Its not an advanced metric but offensive TDs per game, plays per drive, and red zone % are favorites of mine. Its impossible to have a metric show you purely the efficiency of a qb. Football isnt like baseball or basketball. There are too many factors out of the qbs control. You can throw a perfect pass and have it kholert'd to a defender and get a pick. You can throw the ball right to a defender and have it dropped, or have a wr make a crazy play. You can have an OL turnstile and get hit as your throw on a quick timing route etc. If the offense is healthy, especially in the cfl, the qb is being efficient. Time of possession can be skewed by running plays, hurry up offense, big plays, screen passes etc. Thats why I like plays per drive. Its not a qb stat, its a healthy offense stat. When you suffer frequent bouts of 2 and outs it drops that number like a rock. You of course have to temper it with big plays. If you constantly rely on big plays for your offense thats a big factor in few drives per play. But not being able to chunk out yards makes it hard to win games you dont blow out. Tds are tds. If you rush 70 yards on 5 plays then play action pass 1 yard for the major it doesnt matter. Or vice versa. The offense worked if you moved the ball and scored. TLDR; no single stat will give you a best view of qbs. Each qbs worst statistical are is probably the best point to compare and locate issues.

smith isnt mcf either.

Except lber the wide open lber spot we have. Knox may have had an inside track knowing the system and coaches better but smith would at worst be no2 going into camp. I imagine that cut was to do with some thing other then talent.

carr is a qb, and smith is a lber.

He played very well in hammy in limited action.

A few of these guys like smith arent tcf. And TCF is just that, training camp fodder. This was mini camp.

He was yes, but its soo bush it makes AFL2 look like monday night football. I cant tell if the season ran, or is yet to run, cant find any schedule, results, etc. Guess thats to be expected from a league that offered room and board for playing xD. Found some clips on YT. The web site still doesnt have updated season info but the most recent upload was 2 weeks ago.

some real head scratchers here. Especially carr, and smith.

Yes, but of the 4 different shows hes done with a similar lay out id say lay over is 2nd best.

Just watched the lay over on netflix. Im a big anthony bourdain fan, its not as good as parts unknown but its very similar and very good.

hes a fairly long term ex pat with a funky half and half accent. Im wondering if he speaks with his full american accent from soa, his half and half mess or if he puts on a full accent.

If it wasnt for the positive exposure we get from guys going south we wouldnt see near the same serge in talent in the draft that we have the last few years. Not to mention the cahoon esq americans that come up more and more. Time in NFL camps for young guys can be really good too. The amount of man hours they invest in positional training dwarfs what we do up here. Imagine these guys getting a camp and all having some one like bob wylie for their position, some of the most successful players in the world at that position, not to mention the athletic training, dietitians etc. The first days rookie stuff teams put players through to adjust to life as a pro athlete can be worth its weight in gold too. The value of that experience is of course limited compared to actually getting a chance to play. Guys sitting around on PRs and waiting for deals for a couple years is awful. Pretty much. Im hoping for 2 of judge, colling, vandevoort, and behar. But OL depth is allways good.

nice, i saw that and figure ill check it out at some point. Does not jaxx talk in an accent? I watched GOTG 2 tnite. It was pretty good. Certainly better then most of the marvel 2.0 movies. The post credit scene is a real nerd-gasm moment. I really like some of the new supporting roles. This felt more like a intro to the guardians (star lord any way) and a .5 movie then a sequel. But knowing the direction of the MCU and where the gotg 2 is situated i get why they did the movie this way. Over all a must watch for marvel fans. Solidly in the top of the 2nd tier of marvel movies.

I think the top portion of that is the right guys. Assuming judge doesnt sign in the next couple days. Atleast 1 team will go off the board, and 1 team will gamble on an nfl guy. Imop the difference between the guys under 5 on that list or so are a tier and a half minimum below the nfl guys. Ie if i had a choice between mulumba and a gamble on ankou or gray id gamble. Also if we came out of it with judge and colling or behar id be beyond thrilled. Of those guys i think herdman or luke have the best chance to slide well down the draft.
