  1. It's weird that they've done everything to the kickoff to eliminate it except get rid of it. The kickoff is already dead in the NFL and yet it's still around like a relic.
  2. During the 2024 season, kickers will continue to kick from the 35-yard line, but the other 10 players on the kickoff team will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line. At least nine members of the return team will line up in a "setup zone" between the 35- and 30-yard lines. Up to two returners can line up in a "landing zone" between the goal line and the 20-yard line. No one other than the kicker and returner(s) can move until the ball hits the ground or hits a player inside the landing zone. Touchbacks will be marked at the 30-yard line, and no fair catches will be allowed. In the event a team wants to attempt an onside kick, it will have to inform officials of its intent and would then be allowed to use the NFL's traditional formation. No surprise onside kicks will be allowed.
  3. The guy was an OC at Cal and Arizona State. He head-coached some mid-major programs. Not exactly a big-time resume. Good get for Calgary but not exactly stealing him.
  4. Violent crime has been on the rise but it's back to levels of around 2009. We need addiction spaces and housing investment, which the last gov't did not do. So, a much improved gov't will fix this. The last gov't was a disaster for this province. Property crime is down.
  5. There are lots of new developments, apartments and whatnot. It's booming down there.
  6. No, that 🤡 is Purifoy, I believe. Leonard hasn't peed in 8 years to avoid getting tested. Then he berated the poor staff that had to collect the sample.
  7. You have a real lack of understanding of mental health issues, the factors that lead to them, and the outcomes of mental health. You should educate yourself rather than making unsupported claims.
  8. TNSE: We're suckers giving them 20!
  9. I would also argue that maintaining the grass in the fall would be too challenging, with all the football that's played there. Easier for it to recover in summer, but not so much in fall.
  10. Was at the stadium Friday night for the Bryant & Streveler talk. It was very exciting to see the work on the field. It was really worn out, so it was becoming a bit of an injury concern. I bet they're cutting it up to hand out to season ticket holders like they did with the turf at the old stadium.
  11. Unless he's converting to another position, I'm not sure how (or why???) we would want him.
  12. Anyone else attending the Streveler Bryant talk tonight?
  13. My go to has been 1919 and the Generic Lager. I buy a couple of flats when they go on sale.
  14. You could trade him for a pick at the very least. $3.5M while still an RFA is very movable.
  15. We had a big initial expansion and it's not surprising that we're now seeing some contraction in the craft beer market.
  16. Gov't will spend even more money giving a wealthy old man a bunch of tax breaks and funding.
