So the Mayo is on hold?
Yeah, hold the Mayo probably permanently.

If there is one team we want to see the Jets beat (crush) it's the asshat Anaheim Ducks.

Konar would be a no-brainer... can't see him hitting free agency though, fingers crossed
I'd make an offer to Jeff Knox Jr - or gamble on Deron Mayo - value signings
Otherwise, I'm fine with JSK at MLB and some new blood or Wild in a pinch
For ratio - I'd target Konar, Demski, Gascon-Nadon, Menard...
The way Dickenson was describing Mayo a few weeks ago to the Calgary media I think his career is over.

Lol, that news anchor, Kevin Evans tried to pull a fast one on me when he interviewed me in about 1978-79. I could remember his face but I couldn't remember his name. Thanks for posting that!
I remember that commercial. I don't recall whether I liked it or not. It was awful though but that was the whole point of it. Anyway, I know Abalon advertises on CJOB & when I heard "foundation repair" I had to post this. Small business owners do strange things especially when that small business is struggling. Even in 1985, just $50,000 in sales revenue wasn't very good as foundation repairs aren't cheap. I loved the fact the guy went to the job sites in his dress shoes & casual jacket. Think he ever got his hands dirty or gave advice to the guys doing the work? I'll bet he never had one callous on his hands. But he was a cheesy singer. Whatever works, I guess.
As far as Kevin Evans goes, I went to the 1986 Grey Cup in Vancouver. The night before we hit the bars downtown & I ran into him & Stan Kubichek. I had a couple of drinks & chatted with them both before we left & went somewhere else. Evans is like 5'4. Just a little guy. Is he even in the broadcast business anymore? I think he lives on the West Coast now. What about Stan? Anyone know?

Is this a joke or is it actually not worth a listen?
You're scaring me off!
Slow news day back in 1985.

What kind of increase do you want? What kind of increase can the Toronto's and BCs of the CFL handle?
Then you need to convince the CFLPA, which is run by veteran players, to negotiate to have that cap increase applied to the minimum contract amount, which is typically for rookies. Good luck.
Six million. One hundred thousand dollar increase every year for the life of the agreement.

Just now, Rich said:
Even if the CFL could afford a significant cap increase, look to the NHL, NBA, and NFL to see that as the cap increases in sporting leagues, a high percentage of the increases ends up going to the elite players, and the pay gap between players increases.
Once that happens there will still only be dinky little incremental increases left over for everyone else.
The salary cap is too low to begin with. So, an adjustment needs to be made. Players should be making more money. More on the low end of the scale & less for the higher end.
-

With a new CBA there has to be a major revisit of the salary cap. These dinky little incrememental increases every year don't help at all when trying to re-sign players. Wilder won't get an NFL job sitting at home so I think he'll eventually play.

That’s the problem. They get paid a lot of money for the third hour of raw and two hours of smack down. However there is speculation FOX is interested in wwe and it would surely mean two hours of raw.
You have the roster that competes on Raw & Smackdown. No brand extension. Then the roster not quite ready for prime time yet competing on a show like WWE All Stars or whatever that show used to be called. The ones on the bubble either drop down to NXT or the few that come up have to work hard to prove themselves. Not given prime time status like the women wrestlers have had with the NXT call ups... err... invaders.

I remember Canada's National Team. How we were supposed to host the World Hockey Championship in 1970 & then some rube from Hockey Canada in Ottawa had the great idea to pull our country out of it because we considered the Soviets professional hockey players & we couldn't send ours. The sad part is that Canada's team that year was actually very good & may have given the Soviets & Czechs a run for their money. We'll never know.

A lot of people suspected Lorca was Garth. The backstory for him as a Star fleet legend sort of romanticized him as a character.
I think it's totally possible he could be. Or his character rewritten that he is.

I do find it odd that Lord Garth is brought up from time to time re: Discovery. It's such a bottom of the barrel episode. Might as well reference the helmet of knowledge.
Bottom of the barrel? No, not that one. Spock's Brain (from the episode you quote) was bottom of the barrel. Not that episode.

Bob Irving had been tweeting about it.

Huge ratings for RAW last night:
The three hours were:
- 8 p.m. 4.80 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 4.64 million viewers
- 10 p.m. 4.15 million viewers
Most watched program on Cable. Best number for RAW in years and probably will be their best number all year. And to think, they did almost nothing with it! This shows there are a lot of lapsed fans that can still be reached when something interesting happens. How they convert those fans into weekly watchers is the big question.
Go back to 2 hours. Have only 1 show which would be Raw. Get rid of Smackdown. Only the best performers wrestle from both shows wrestle. Improve the writing. Don't have anymore invasions from NXT.

Sorry, I actually did miss it. Durant was part of the problem in Montreal, not part of the solution. He himself said that he needed to play better and stayed in Montreal on a bye week to go thru every pass he'd made up until that time. Didn't help, tho. He still came out and played badly after that. FTR: He was part of the Riders problems in 2016 too.
Everyone was talking about it last year, from sports casters to fans in forums. I'd guess if we hadn't signed Durant ourselves, that most on this forum would say he's done.
Again, thinking Rakeem Cato would be the answer instead of Durant is well.... not the answer. Cato was a headcase & never was very good. And again.... Durant did not sign to be the starter & he won't be.

Getting back to ST:Discovery. I think they find a way to keep Issacs & make him interesting as well. here's a thought... Was Lord Garth from a parallel universe? He went from being an honoured & decorated starship Captain to a crazed, sadistic killer seemingly very quickly. He would fit into the other universe. Was he an invader?

Just as long as the Jets outscore the teams they play, I'm good.

Around The League: 2018 Offseason

Uh, if he makes league minimum then how can he make $7 million dollars an hour? Plus you don't factor in practice times, meetings & travelling.
