Let's say, Chris Williams. I thought Willams was back. In his place, I choose Iannuzzi.

McG may be in phenomenal shape going in but he's never boxed before. 5 rounds of MMA is gruelling but surviving 12 rounds of boxing is different. You have to pace yourself differently. I could totally see McG struggling to pace himself, throwing punches at Mayweather, gassing himself by the 8th round. It will be interesting, which, again, is why I want to see this fight.

They're still going to pick 30 players but they're giving the teams a chance to hold onto that one guy they couldn't fit into 7-3-1 or 4-4-1.

All true. But this expansion draft is so heavily weighted towards the Vegas Strippers, that they're bound to do well. Unless of course McPhee manages to screw everything up. They'll get in the playoffs in a few years and be successful in the short term.

It means the tickets are being devalued, even if someone is paying for them, the fans are not. One of the struggles that the new Panther ownership mentioned after they took over was getting fans to 'buy' tickets. They had been so used to getting them for free, why bother paying for them? So, the Panthers stopped handing them out for free and faced smaller crowds. But, they believed they were doing what was necessary to change the mindset. The practice free tickets for attractions don't really happen in Vegas anymore. World class entertainment costs money.

Myers is worth more than Dano and Petan (or some 2nd round draft pick). If the Jets can't protect Myers, it's going to be expensive to for them to get Vegas to take anyone else. Maybe too expensive...

That would make sense. Not a bad rule, really. Good for him for finishing. If it cost him time at an NFL camp, I would question his decision but not for a CFL camp.

Vegas is a small town? What? Never mind all the tourists that they have, concentrated is relatively small space near the arena, the Vegas Metropolitan area is close to 2 Million.

That's whole lot of $$ for Drouin. Not sure he's earned that. Wow.

It is not.

Didn't Judge work out for the Texans or another NFL team? Or am I getting him confused with someone else?

Montreal needs a centre and Drouin is not that. I think, like the Subban trade, this will prove to be a big mistake. Sergachev looks like the real deal and they would have controlled him for a long time. Drouin has already had issues with management. What happens when the media/fans turn on him? Could be big trouble. IMO, TBay won this trade by a long stretch. Time will tell though.

I bought a Adult and Youth ticket for the Banjo Bowl. Saved a few dollars for my mother. Only downfall was that I had to wait until the tickets were on general sale and couldn't buy during the season ticket presale. Very happy.

It was a s---tsunami, if ever there was one.

Dressler needs to get into rhythm too. Run some routes, make some plays. It's as much about getting Nichols and his starters work tonight, at least for a half, than it is about evaluation of the recruits. They don't play for more than two weeks after tonight.

Yes, do it now. People will talk themselves into this fight being more competitive. People will be selling this fight to boost the buy.

And that's the reason I'm going to watch this fight. I don't think McGregor has a chance but if all the stars align, on one magical punch, he could stun Mayweather.

There was a lot of people in MMA that thought a brawler and striker like Kimbo could overwhelm his opponents. They thought he could take a punch and keep coming.

The Pylons.

You don't. I assure you, very little of your paycheque goes to that. I would bet that most of your paycheque goes back to you through infrastructure and services.

There can and that can be the US. But you can't call it free country if you're going limit others freedoms. Also, we can't easily emigrate to other countries.

Freedom to die at someone else's hand because proper controls are not in place is not the "freedom" I want. I want freedom from nut jobs with guns. That's not socialism.

It's here, it's here, it's FINALLY game day!!!!!

BHop says, wha???

I'll be watching. McGregor has no shot in a boxing match against Mayweather. The only hope is that Mayweather has forgotten how to box. Pound for pound, one of the best ever. His strategy will be flawless. The biggest knock against Mayweather at this point would be that he does not have tape on McGregor. And, maybe the long layoff.
