They signed a 7 year extension after the 2011 season.

Just because none of the Winnipeg sports teams I actually follow ever seem to win a championship.....

I do have a question for you ... if you have such strong feelings about what we did and how we did it, why were you the 5th member (outside of moderators) to sign up for this site, and why have you actively supported it all these years by being in the top 35 posters by number of posts? As for your number 2, I could be wrong, but I don't think there is anyone from the moderator team who left OB that is complaining about what Colin did when we left.

Anwar Stuart, who was a quality control coach with Montreal up till January critical of this move.

Off season is over. Figured we could use a new thread to whats happening in training camp around the league. http://3downnation.com/2017/05/29/ticats-add-two-veteran-players-retired-list/

Does work ethic count as showing a ton of energy?

Wouldn't worry about it ... pretty sure his post is only meant to be a shot at deleted content in a far away thread.

This bug appears to be fixed. Chat should now always be "on".

Saw this article today and thought it was pertinent to this discussion. I'm not sure how much a police officer should get paid, but I do know the chances of me coming into contact with something like this that could potentially kill me is very much lower then that of a cop. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-police-naloxone-self-administer-1.4127711

Totally going by memory here, but at one point I think he stopped using Twitter and tried to get his fans to connect to him through his phone app (though I could be completely out to lunch on this as his Twitter account has recent activity) https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/1-to-1-fan-jacob-trouba/id904355703?mt=8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Pixofactor.JacobTrouba&hl=en Free Press article on it if you can get passed the paywall http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/trouba-takes-on-own-app-277037201.html As to his father, I will take that part back. I thought I had read a rumour about that somewhere, but can't find the source. Also found an article where he was in the country when Trouba first signed.

Advertisers would love to get their hands on the type of viewership and demographic information Netflix has on their shows. Ironically, they don't sell commercials.

So out of the 10ish people who have voted, it is pretty much split down the line. So here is what I propose. Got an email earlier this week about the next major version upgrade of the forum software. It is in beta testing right now and currently scheduled to be released late summer. One of their new features is a concept called Clubs. You can read about them here . I honestly don't yet completely understand how they differ from the forum categories we have today. The goal is apparently to make the software more social and the concept has apparently been implemented in the vBulletin forum software (has anyone seen this type of thing anywhere else?). When I first read it, I thought a good use would be for when we segregate off a forum for the people who join a football pool. But the fall time period might be a good time to try it with curling or NFL. Not entirely sold on the concept yet, and I won't be participating in the beta to see how they work, so will have to reserve judgement until it is released or there is a public demo. And if it sucks, we can not use them and go back to a basic implementation.

Have I missed a firing, or has Kellyanne Conway simply disappeared from anything Trump related?

You can put whatever you want on the table but if the agent has said he isn't going to listen to it or take it back to his client, then what?

The agent refused to accept any offers and demanded a trade.

About damn time this season gets started.....

Insurance will only cover you for the contract that you have. That is the point. If he signs the extension this off season and gets hurt, he is guaranteed his 8 years salary. If he waits and gets hurt, the Jets and any NHL team can walk away from signing him. Personally, I don't think he signs. I never believed his holding out was related to playing time. The rumours about his Dad not being able to come up to Canada to watch him play and the failed app that was blamed on market size (I don't think his app would work in any NHL market) to me means there are a lot of outside pressures on Trouba for him to play closer to home in the States. The question remains what Trouba actually wants and how much influence those people have over him.
