  1. If you think cable companies are going to do anything that doesn't result in maximum profit for minimum services you're fooling yourselves. They're all pirates.
  2. The fact that Meyers and Klefbom are close now isn't a stroke in Meyers favour considering how much younger Klefbom is. Reinhart and Musil won't ever be as good as Klefbom and I highly doubt Davidson gets to that level either considering he's also a year older than Klefbom. Hell if you ask me right now I'd probably trade Nurse before Klefbom he was that good before getting hurt. So no I don't want the Jets D in favour of Klefbom and a high first round pick. That doesn't make the Oilers a better team. Let's for the sake of argument say Klefbom and Meyers are a saw off, I believe the Oilers can take that first and get a better D than Enstrom, especially if they package it with a forward. Everyone wants to "fix" the Oilers defense by trying to swindle them into a bad trade, it's wishful thinking at best. The Oilers do have some room to be a bit flexible because Klefbom and Davidson have really take a step forward in their development and Nurse could follow suit quickly and who knows what might happen with some of the other farm hands. Last year no one would have believed that Davidson would turn into a legit NHL defenseman but people who followed the team knew he was on a real nice development track. So yeah unless you're trading someone for a forward not interested.
  3. So Edmonton gets better by trading their best defenseman? Just stop. If Klefbom and the first round pick are in a deal I want better defensemen than Meyers and Enstrom coming back. Perhaps you are unaware of just how good Klefbom was playing before he got hurt.... but he was ******* good and then to lose Davidson who has been a real pleasant surprise this year early in the game of course the D was going to look rough for the Oilers. Meyers would be a nice fit in Edmonton but unless you're willing to build something around Yakupov then there's probably not a deal to be had.
  4. but that pretty much already happens. Teams are always happy to rip up contracts and give out new ones or especially just release guys not earning their keep. Now I ain't sold on Jennings being the super star yet, seen too many rookie qbs have a hot start then get figured out to rush to proclaim them the next great thing, but the guy is getting a tiny salary for the position, he should be doing whatever he can to get at least back up qb money.
  5. Ugh.... First of all Leslie Jones is not funny at all so that's a miss, second of all the trailer makes it seem like they're letting Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig try and carry the thing, haven't we seen enough of those two? Kate Mckinnon can do whatever the **** she wants and I'll probably laugh though. This whole thing just seemed like a bad idea from the get go and they haven't changed my mind at all.
  6. I suspect the reference to Regina was simply to make the joke.
  7. It's basically a movie that's only contribution to society currently is for people to show off 3D televisions... does anyone actually buy those?
  8. these are the types that think a good NCAA team would beat a CFL team so pay them no mind.
  9. Calling it now but Avatar 2 is going to flop. Avatar got a lot of buzz as a showcase for 3D but seems like the fad for 3D is waning and let's be honest here, Avatar as a movie wasn't all that great. It made butt loads of cash but I don't really see the same demand for a sequel being there.
  10. obvious propaganda just annoys me. How about we don't treat fans like we're all a bunch of mouth breathing ******* who will swallow any tripe they feed us?
  11. says he can't promise anything, immediately makes a promise. It's reasons like that this blog is unreadble most times.
  12. Yeah John Carter was better than expected. I think it suffered from people not understanding how to market it. Side note, the books are a fun read too.
  13. It's easy to get an R rating, 3 fucks and you're there
  14. Mack had no problem scouting and finding american players though... He really did operate very similarly to Popp, just that Popp had Calvillo for so long
  15. They are small and it's hard to see them until it's gone past the earth. Space is big, like humogous big and meteors are just little specks in it.
  16. If people are interested in the ratings of movies I highly recommend watching the documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" Really provides a good insight into how ****** up the system for rating movies is.
  17. I'd watch CIS football before NFL. **** that league so much. The over the top hype is just too much, kills any interest I might ever have.
  18. Obviously an American based on the bitching about the ratio and how non imports control the union. Plus the bitching about getting paid in Canadian dollars so the poor Americans don't take home the equivalent in American dollars. The indignity of another country NOT paying people in a foreign currency. How DARE they.
  19. Big Rock might not be the most edgy craft brewer out there but damned if I don't like some of their stuff. Traditional is a go to out here if there is nothing else cause it's rare that they don't have that. Grasshopper was my gateway into craft beer so it is always nice too, especially on a hot day when a deck is involved. It's nice to see them branching out a bit too, things like the Cascadian or Fowl Mouth are quite good taking basically their Traditional base and adding some more hops to it.
  20. See I read it as "We over spent the last few years because we had cap space and now it sucks because we don't have the space, I hope the other teams make the same mistakes I did"
  21. I see it as we have a lot of options there just sorting out who goes where is left to be determined.
  22. but like I said, Bucknors position is an easy one to hide a guy in. Better option than trying to find another canadian to back up Harris at rb should he be hurt or you have another american defensive lineman on to rotate in and give more push when you need it, or you load up on americans at receiver in some situations. I just think it's a "safe" way to hide a guy.
  23. I don't like Bucknor but it's an easy spot to hide a lesser player in, I think it's the best option. I also think this team starts 8 non imports so they have the flexibility to deal with injuries and in game adjustments.
  24. I don't think Bucknor goes anywhere to be honest, I think either Randle or Adams are a likely candidate to step into the vacated half back spot, the other playing the corner and Bucknor and Johnson on the other side. That just leaves the safety which could be Legget or it could be someone else. Either way there's lots of options. I am more concerned about rbs and receivers because I still don't know what they have for depth there, obviously the OL is a concern and the DL I don't know how that will work out because I still don't see who plays the other DE spot and perhaps people are expecting Shologan to be better than he actually is....
