LA Clippers sold for 2 Billion Dollars in 2014 imagine what the Lakers, and Knicks, are worth.

Yeah, there are exceptions like successful big market NBA teams. It still boggles the mind that Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Charlotte, New Orleans or Portland have teams worth more than most NHL teams.

I've always felt Bridge is overrated. He hasn't done much during his time in the CFL. I think Jones tries to groom Watford to take over if Bridge struggles again. I think Watford has a bigger upside. He's a rookie & he played to the same level as Bridge. That ain't saying much but it was a fact. So then, why not play the kid?

It can, when one team is the stamps (perennial power house that cycles through talent at positions that make the rest of the leagues head spin) the rudders who spend and spend and spend and make moves galore but dont move forward and the bombers who take giant steps forward only to fall back. 

The difference is the level of management and coaching. Calgary was far better prepared to counter what hamilton did. And adjusted better. We didnt. The solution isnt the same for every team as I illustrated. A team that lives more off the pressure of blitzing then just off your line it makes sense to beat the max pro with pressure. Jail break blitzes etc. If you are a team that relies on its front 4 for pressure like us, not so much. The answer will be a bit different for each team so you cant just copy paste other teams answers. 

Until its in the past fully its schrodingers cat. Both hard and easy to crack at the same time. 

Does Schrodinger's Cat know defense? Does he want a DC job with the Bombers??

NBA franchises with a few exceptions are generally are valued nearly twice as much as NHL franchises. Not including the Rangers, Flyers, Blackhawks & Maple Leafs. But their salary structures for 12 players is crazy.

Probably but it could be an election issue.  It should be headline news at every newspaper and network.  

Hes obviously lying.   And the fact he’s lying lends credence to him being guilty.   

Worse, his “apology” didn’t apologize for the groping, it apologized for groping a national media member.  Implying that 1) he knew he was wrong. 2) he groped regularly. 3) he’s grope women as long as they aren’t national media members who could get him into trouble. 

By his own standards, he has to resign 

I absolutely agree but Trudeau's teflon. The media could break him if they wanted to. I don't think they want to as he restored funding to the CBC. Look what they did to Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown. The media destroyed him because he's Conservative. 

The liberal media in this country who love Trudeau will protect him so he won't resign. 

Leafs sign Tavares but lose a 35 goal scorer in JVR so addition by subtraction as I see it.

Dumb shits do what dumb shits do. The one sequence in particular just shows how bad an idea him playing corner is... He gets beat but the safety comes over and saves his ass by breaking up the pass but Carter turns around and takes a completely stupid roughing penalty to move Montreal down the field. Just unreal how a guy can do **** like that and his coach still happily says he's playing the position. Any other db in the league played like Carter does they'd have been cut a long time ago. 

Carter brings Jones an apple everyday.

Trouba, Morrissey, Hellebyuck this summer. Laine, Connor and possibly Wheeler next year.  

That money is easily gone.    

 

 

With Stasny gone, that number must be up to $32 million now.

Well I think it's quite straightforward. We inserted new players in key positions to suggest it was lack of execution and not coaching/schemes. Three games in not looking good. I'd say by the sixth game if we see it continuing with no significant improvement time to take a different direction with the D coaching. Players are never absolved of their responsibility regardless of whose coaching but with what we are seeing so far with having new additions with the same overall results  I'd say the pendulum has swung more to something amiss with the D coaching approach. We can still right the ship if after three more games nothing improves. The clock has started, the pressure is on, no more excuses.

 

Our HC doesn't operate like that. I can't see him firing Hall during the season out of respect just because he has played & coached in the CFL for decades. He did fire his STC in 2014 but he was a former U Sports head coach in his first season with the Bombers. No, a Hall firing would be handled a lot differently. We're stuck with the guy, unfortunately. 

Okay, I admit I'm not a hockey expert like some of you guys here. Football is my game & hockey is more of a sidetrack for me but I do love the Jets. That's why I don't engage in much discussion here. So then, someone please explain to me.... According to Cap Geek, before Stasny left we had $28 million in cap space.  Only the NY Islanders were lower at $32 million. All in US $$ numbers. Now Stasny is gone. Just how are we up against the cap even if we have some UFA's like Trouba to sign? The salary cap is set at $79 million US next season. How are we up against the cap exactly???

Funny thing is post game Carter said he didn't struggle or have a bad game..like wtf...and that Twitter stuff is hilarious..what a moron

If you're Wally Buono, do you laugh, get angry or think he should have retired a year ago?

I bet the Man Love from Suitor must have been torturous.

We knew that the offence under Streveler was going to struggle in some games, but we were led to believe that the invigorated defence would be better than last year, specifically with the deletion of Hurl and the addition of Bighill. They lied.

It would be better but O'Shea kept Hall because of some warped sense of loyalty to the guy. Not because he did a good job. We all knew this would happen with Hall as DC. Everyone knew it except Miller,Walters & Osh. Just how the hell can that be?  Players have to perform or they're gone. Why shouldn't it be the same for crappy assistants or coordinators?

It's the 3rd n 4th paragraph.

Read again, it said "he did not suffer". Not that he died peacefully. 

**** the Knights.

I never saw the game so how did Jennings play?

The article didn't say that. His son said he didn't suffer. I know it's weird but at the same time that was never said.

At one point the Bombers were paying Willy $400,000 plus to do what he does, now I doubt he's earning 1/4th of that salary and he's struggling to hold a job on the worst team in the league.

Certainly hasn't improved as a qb has he? There has been no growth as a player. Willy  plateaued & has never gotten better. He is what he is & that is a journeyman qb who even has a hard time being a backup. 

Bbq chicken.  I swear you can't make that **** up. I like Brandon Banks comment at the end... Something like, "thanks for the entertainment fellas". I bet Wally must be wondering why he didn't retire. That twitter storm is pure gold. 

It's always a great day when the Riders lose.

I'm almost certain you could stick Willy in Dave Dickenson's offense and he'd still be broken.

Yeah, I agree. His best before date expired a long time ago.

Had to fix the post cuz I think that's what you meant to say.

But yeah.  Willy just has to be done because Matthews mostly sucks too but he comes in and they win ... Man just cut Willy already cuz he is beyond done.

Montreal is just a black hole. A pit into hell for qbs.
