Durant has always been a winner though. Some qbs are just that way regardless of the stats. I hate to say it because he's a shithead rider but Durant has a history of winning games in this league.

does that 40k make a difference? We knew Dressler was being paid a crap load of money because everyone tried to sign him and there was a very tight bidding war to sign him. Just the typical rider fan attitude, you stop wearing the green you're over paid or not that good blah blah blah.

Bet you weren't so down on Taman giving out those contracts at the time though. This is why everyone mocks Rider fans, biggest hypocrites going. Taman signs Chick and Dressler "AMAZING!" New GM cuts them "Wow Taman you dolt, why give out such big contracts?"

Especially if Moore isn't coming back.

God damned good thing you edited that....

Can Ottawa afford them? They got more than a few guys set to earn more money and they've already had to ship one out.

It's nice to dream, but do you really expect these guys to take a hair cut? Moore will be in demand and he'll get paid big money, Denmark is already making big money and Carter will have approximately 9 teams make inquiries about him and he'll get a big pay day as a result of the interest.

Walters has always played the FA game, i don't seem him changing now

Better than rise of an empire... well that's a low bar... The only two things worth seeing in rise of an empire belong to Eva Green and you can see those in just about every movie she does.

That might be cost prohibitive.

With the Watchmen I think you really have to appreciate the graphic novel to enjoy the movie. I think they really made a mistake in the marketing of that movie making it seem like a superhero action film. It is nothing of the sort and it's long and dry. 300 I did enjoy but that's because it's nothing but simple basic blood and guts and crazy visuals. Safe to say I didn't get Sucker Punch, no idea what the **** that was supposed to be and Man of Steel to me was just crap. Trying to make Superman dark and gritty is just nonsense. He's supposed to be a boy scout and a symbol for hope, if you can't make an interesting movie with that idea then you're not trying hard enough. They managed fine with Captain America who is a similar kind of boy scout hero.

I know, lots of good performances, Tommy Lee Jones was great, Hayley Atwell was great, Chris Evans has always been solid, but that rushed montage I dunno.... I also felt that Hugo Weaving kind of mailed it in so I dunno.

I don't like endzone seats personally, would rather be higher up and along the sidelines. I think the pricing of the endzones falls into the line of thinking that closer to the field is always better so it's more expensive.

I always have the first captain america a bit lower for one reason really... I don't like how they turned Cap wins the war into a montage.

I'm spiteful too, does that make anything I said incorrect?

Wylie has a long long track record, if he couldn't get results in Winnipeg it's because either the OC didn't allow the OL to shine or the talent simply wasn't there.

Yeah Spiderman 2 was great, the problem with Spiderman 3 is that Raimi wanted to use Sandman as the villian but Sony insisted that Venom be added because he was popular and Raimi didn't like the character and the result is what we got. Episode 4 was directed by Lucas but a lot of other people had input, Empire and return of the Jedi had different directors though, probably different writers too. I believe the story is that Lucas wife at the time did a lot of the editing that made the first Star Wars as good as it was. Based on his track record I think it is quite safe to say that George Lucas is a good idea man but putting the ideas together is not his strong suit. Nothing wrong with that, there is plenty of money and success in doing that.

Marvel never did any of the spiderman movies though, they sold the rights to Sony before they started making movies themselves. X-Men too is not under the Marvel brand, it's owned by Fox. Think Fox has fantastic 4 as well which is a big reason why they can't make a movie about them worth a damn. That's kind of the beauty of what they've done, they've basically made all the money in the world just using their B listers.

splitting hairs, not letting you get away with wild exaggerations... I like the 2nd one better.

Well Iron Man 2 gets a bad rap but it's not nearly as good as the original.............

I don't believe the first Avengers is 2nd best either.... I got the first Iron Man right up there though....

You are blowing it out of proportion. All people said was we had a good situation at backup and maybe we could trade someone for something useful. Nothing more than that really. Maybe one lunatic but it was definitely not a lot of people freaking out about anything, except for the couple Marve fanbois convinced he was the next great thing.

Nonsense. Even on tv you can tell that the stadium in Winnipeg is poised to explode if the team ever gives them anything to cheer about. Bombers pick up some wins and play an exciting brand of football the passion will ignite instantly because the fans are there and they are passionate. You are too much of a bitter old man but most people aren't so bitter.
