I don't see the allure of moving Randle to 'backer/dime. He was consistently good last season on the corner, someone we could really trust out there. I'd much rather trust Randle and Bucknor (or Adams considering the ratio) out there, then Adams + Bucknor as the duo. I think our defensive line is going to be really good this year. I think Waggoner and Hurl at WIL and MLB could be good enough there. I guess it depends where you want to play the newbies. Personally, even if Adams looks good, I don't want a new guy plus Bucknor. That seems dangerous. I'm more willing to gamble on the Waggoner and Hurl as the new guys inside, but again, just personal preference on the gamble. Wow sounds like Waggoner is the real deal! Good job getting him Kyle!

Our media is embarrassing. Holy hell. I'm comfortable putting a twenty down it was Weicek. I couldn't see who asked the question, but it sounded like Bauming, which would surprise me because he's usually on the ball. But could have been someone else too. I watched the interview. The question comes at around the 4 minute mark. Talk about stupid. And trying to cover it with the whole excuse that they aren't allowed to talk to co-ordinators. Just pathetic. Shame on whoever that clown is.

Did Lawless inform MOS that Tburg disagrees with this assessment?

He's only 29 years old.

Emry's best days are behind him. I am not surprised he's playing on a Taman team.

Yeah that one had me laughing. But of course, if you've never heard of Moose Jaw, how would you know? A more logical answer would have been "Moose Jav".

Time for the young guns to step up.Why is Goossen not in the conversation to start at RG? I thought he played well last year and should be ready to take another step forward this year. Yeah that's why I said "young guns" - plural.

I really liked this part: Good to hear that O'Shea is encouraging and helping the local coaches. That's class.

Much of the unknown revolves around the cities. These players know about New York, Los Angeles or Dallas but have never heard of Winnipeg, Hamilton or Saskatchewan. Canada is just a giant frozen wasteland full of non-threatening weird-speaking dog-sled driving hosers that Americans spend 2 seconds a year expending mental energy on. I don't know how many times I've spoken to American visitors who are walking around Kelowna dumb-founded that we have electricity and roads and Burger King franchises, just like them. And that we have periods of time in the year that we aren't shivering under snow banks. And some of these people have been from Spokane. Whenever there is a "Canada" topic on Jeopardy, it's always the last one chosen. Contestants can answer questions on Greek philosophers, classical music composers and nuclear physics, but stare dumb-founded at the camera if asked what province Toronto is in. Or a name of one prime minister we've ever had. Or what sport is revered in Canada that involves a puck, a net, and ice. Alex's disgusted looks are always classic too. http://globalnews.ca/news/2033286/watch-jeopardy-contestant-fails-canadian-geography-loses-it-all/

Time for the young guns to step up.

too late...

I watched the first game of the year from 2014 again on the weekend, the game where we shellacked the Arblows. The starting right tackle was Dan Knapp. After every play Ejiro Kuale was bouncing around doing his arm flex thing, no matter what happened on the play, so glad that I don't have to see that anymore. There were so many guys playing in that game that are gone now. It's good to see the upgrades.

Mack hired coaches based on the candidates that required the least amount of work be done in finding and vetting them. Did he even look at anyone else other than Burke?

There was euphoria around Tim Daly? Wings was a huge show in the early 1990's, but other than that Tim Daly hasn't done much.

Litre cola? Do we sell litre cola? My favorite line: Farva: "Does that look like spit to you?" Thorny: "Yeah". Farva: "**** it".

I was having beers a few weeks ago with a guy who knows Shea Webber's dad (he lives in Sicamous). Shea was complaining to his dad that after taxes and agent fees, his take-home was only $7 million. Man that's got to suck.

Stamkos is freaking awesome. He and Jonathon Toews are two of my favorite players to watch, because they aren't just clutch guys with unbelievable talent, they are born leaders.

you hit the "Follow this topic" button?

paid professional writers for daily papers are dinosaurs anyway. By the time they write their stuff and get it out it's been news for 16 - 24 hours. No one cares anymore.

oh man, I am exhausted now from reading all of these training camp reports...

gary lawless ✔ @garylawless Hearing Sukh Chungh has pushed his way into a battle to start at right guard for #bombers. Neufeld is banged up, Chungh has impressed

where is Penton? Trying to learn to like women's soccer?

I don't think Kyle will let his ego get in the way of who is on the field. This isn't the Joe Mack era. Kyle deserves a few mulligans. If Neufeld doesn't fit, he'll go.

pardon my ignorance but did Chungh play tackle for the Dinos?

Trade Greaves!!!
