  1. Who will you be most disappointed about when they are among the first cuts this spring?
  2. He sent my son a signed photo. He was pure class. He worked so hard on the dline bible. I followed him on Twitter just to see all the all the work he put into it.
  3. Drink! He also went to BC and Ottawa and couldn't do it, so it's not all on Lapolice.
  4. US also kept the games on network TV. Nowadays, it doesn't mean as much, but it definitely did over the past 20 years. TSN has done the best that they were willing to do, nothing more.

    And, mornings or evenings. It's really like having a second fulltime job. She's done everything, won everything, is the GOAT. Time to enjoy her family.

    Glenn Howard is playing with his son in the Brier and he's old as dust. Jones has been able to play this long because she's smart and consistent. The physical side has definitely caught up to her. The game can grind you down and playing in bonspiels is grueling. I think about it a lot, of why we don't see older players, but I think it's more physical than you think. Also, eventually, you just can't play that much. To be a top team, you need to play a lot, or win everything you do play, which isn't feasible. Jones' career was stretched out by winning the Scotties so often, she didn't have to win Manitoba each year and then they expanded the size of the pool.

    Jones is playing like the Jones of 10 years ago. Amazing. I hope she can keep it going.
  8. It sort of felt inevitable. But, this time, Walters had the upper hand negotiating. I'm kind of surprised he didn't go UFL, then sign with a CFL team when that contract ended.
  9. And, so instead of expecting more out of men, we make young women bend? F*** that. It is a horrible take because it says that men can't control themselves when the reality is that they make their own choices. Even worse. Tell your daughter she can't live her life because we make excuses for pathetic men.
  10. So, yes? Blame the victims because we couldn't possibly ask grown men to not harass the staff.
  11. It's not the reality because **itty people keep making excuses and blaming the victims.

    4 of 6 teams in the playoffs are from Manitoba. Whoa. Although, I don't expect Lawes or Cameron to make much of a splash. I had Einarson vs Homan in the final before the week and I'm still expecting this as a final. Homan has been the best team this week, IMO. Can Jones get to one more final?
  13. She should sit down with them. Really her fault for being assaulted, saying something, and getting fired. Am I doing this right, Argo fans? ****ing trash.
  14. Need to stop apologizing for Pinball. Kelly has always had questionable moral character and John Murphy fought fans. He's pretty Teflon, but some of these issues will eventually stick.
  15. I will ask this of our resident expert, what is the economic impact of the CMHR? What is the ROI? How does this compare to other cultural events/venues? I'll hang up and listen to your reply.
  16. Incorrect. Student visits make up ~10% of the overall attendance.
  17. They didn't give VAJ an extension with all that guaranteed money if they thought he would come back.
  18. I guess they're pretty confident Rourke is never coming back.
