JCon

I envision, on one of his first nights in the White House, Trump wandering around, poking through the storage rooms and stumbling across Nixon's old tape recorders. "Hmm, this might come in handy. I think I'll take it."

Incremental improvements, whenever and however you can. That should be the Bombers goal each and every day.

Looking up and down our current roster of NIs? Yes, I would say he's capable.

I think Walters is expected to bring in competition for all positions, including an area of weakness for the club. At the right price, I don't see how bringing in a capable NI receiver hurts the club?

Not even close. He was signed as a free agent to play in the ECHL or the AHL. He did well and got an opportunity with the Jets.

Sounds like Tulo is off the DL tomorrow and Martin on Thursday. I have tickets for the game on the 26th. I'm hoping to see the stars!

I'm looking forward to Godless (on Netlfix). I'm a sucker for Westerns. From IMDB: Frank Griffin, an outlaw terrorizing the 1880s American West, hunts down Roy Goode, his partner turned enemy. Roy hides out at a ranch as Frank's chase leads him to La Belle, New Mexico - a town mysteriously made up entirely of women. I'm not sure when episodes are being released. (I miss Deadwood)

Clever swerve... no one is talking about Comey anymore.

I remember watching GLOW: Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling when I was young. That and NWA/WCW Main Event filled the void after WWF Saturday Morning Superstars (and the odd Saturday Night Main Event). I'm looking forward to this series.

He had success in Europe and he's Boucher's "Associate" coach. From what I heard, he and Boucher were the finalists for the Sens gig and had an agreement to hire one-another if the other got the position. I bet someone gives him another shot in the NHL based on his success in Ottawa. I mean, Carlyle and Tortorella got coaching jobs, so how could Crawford not?

Pavel Bure used to buy cigarettes from me back when I worked at a gas station in Vancouver. Camels.

Well, you can count on Crawford getting another head coaching gig, so it likely will spread a bit.

Me too. Yes, he was funny to listen to but I bet, at my age, it would not be as entertaining. Ah, Dickens Cider. Good times. I hope they find a good replacement for Lawless but boy am I going to miss his insider information. It was good and consistent. CFL and NHL.

Without "cultural appropriations" every culture will stagnate. Without cultural appropriations, we don't get Elvis. Why can't we have Elvis and Chuck Berry?

Disney did put out a Oz film recently.

Police officers are now require so much training and education, they are white-collar workers (or, are paid like it) but all these blue collar responsibilities remain. If not cadets, we need a layer of staff, below officers, that can perform these types of tasks. Union will not like it though.

I haven't dug backwards through this thread but has anyone watched the Last Kingdom? I started watching last weekend and am now almost through the first season. I'm really enjoying it but am really short of sleep. I'm very curious how season 1 will end and where it will go in season 2. I'm also curious when season 3 will be launched on Netflix (but fear doing a search over spoilers).

Interesting that they still projected him a late round pick, despite all his "faults". I like the pick-up, if only for TCF. Maybe he sticks around on the PR and develops.

I honestly don't think it hurts Pence too much to defend him. At least, no more than anything else attached to this administration. When everything falls apart, he'll just stand there saying he's "been lied to and is shocked about all the evidence." The GOP will circle their wagons around him. He'll survive until an election.

Theoretical question: Would you trade Schneider for Helle straight up? Salary/cap dump for Devils. Instantly makes the Jets a better team for 2017/18 but puts a roadblock in front of Comrie for the future.

Fact is, we can't move for anyone until after the expansion draft. There will still be veteran goalies available after that via FA or trade.

And, we put in a Import RB. Not a big issue. And if the Esks are starting Augustine, I'm certain we'll be in better shape.

I don't necessarily agree with the assessment. How can the Lions have taken the second (?) best receiver two spots earlier than the best receiver and, as noted, may have already reached his ceiling and still be praised for the pick. To me, that's a miss and, it's a miss on their first pick. I'm not saying Hodge's analysis is correct, just question the rationale of putting BC on top when they didn't get the best available players. BTW, I trust Buono's analysis more than Hodge's. And not giving WPG top spot because they didn't take a receiver? Well, maybe they didn't think any of the available receivers were better than what they currently have. It's not as though you need to draft people in every position.

This is really bad news. I hope he gets better really soon.

Agreed. And given that we'll have the next week off to prepare for the West Final, I think we run out all our starters!
