What are we complaining about? Glass Onion? It was fantastic!

basically a joke based on Will Ferrell in "Old School"...... it's been used a few times. Some years ago (really aging myself now) when Dustin Penner somehow managed a hat trick for the Oilers, he joked that he didn't know what happened...he blacked out..... which is all based on Ferrell in Old School debating against James Carvell...

You want to forgive wife beaters? The things he did to his various wives is right up there.......and that's just the stuff we KNOW about! These two are clearly two of the biggest assholes/evil men in the history of pro sports.

MARK IT F***ING ZERO!

I love that Jones thinks that rounding up the old band of assholes is going to pay off for him this year....

Really enjoyed the 3rd one (not as much as the 2nd, but it was good) and excited to see what they do in the 4th. Really wish they hadn't taken 20 years off in between. This could have been a massive franchise for them a la FnF.......

I've always been a firm believer of Lowry as Captain but last night definitely went a long way to swaying me toward Norrissey as captain...

Have you ever seen Fever Pitch with Fallon? That scene where, in the midst of a major depressive episode, he watches "The Buckner Tape" over and over on a loop.... Ya..... I get that. *sobs* "it was Sayles..... He missed the block and hung Leggs out to dry....." *sobs*

I watched the kick over and over probably 100x now and that's my take away.... Sayles missed the block and allowed the kick to be blocked. I'm convinced the kick starts left and fades back in, if not for. The block. Sigh.

all of that, and Booch's points, is/are fair...... but he's been away from "live reps" for a long time. I'm just curious how quickly he can adjust. I'm not saying he can't, either, I'm just curious...

4 Manitoba-based teams (though Kaitlyn Lawes team has a gross number of non-Manitobans on it....blech) will be in the Nat Scotties, including the young team that lost the MB final to Jones. Manitoba is dominating the ladies side of "pro" curling right now. Next up, the Manitoba Men's playdowns, Feb 7-12 in Neepawa...

a lot of people seem to think Tui Eli, with spot/back-up duty in 2021, and then completely out of the game in 2022, is going to just be able to walk in and start Day 1 in 2023..... that seems hard for me to believe. I could believe that he's kept in OL shape......I don't know if you can just get up to game speed that quickly.

I'd like to see Darby brought back before Casey Sayles....

all the examples SF listed about hockey forgiving people.....that's not a GOOD example....that's a PROBLEM. It's the problem that hockey has. It tends to use the idolization of athletes to sweep awful, criminal things under the rug. Hockey needs to be better. One of Graham James' victims had some good quotes yesterday about how there are still people who "Yeah, but think about all the good things he did..." about James, which is just unconscionable. The same for Hull. Ovi will be judged harshly one day for his Putin-backing. Heatley, MacT and others are a bit different in that they were unintentional accidents.

Binnnington has been okay but man, you just can't go 0/7 on the PP at this level. Pros find a way. The Jets are in a serious slump right now and I have no idea how you turn it around.

I'm very very very aware of what DC does (he's the best in the league) but "it sure is slow right now" has nothing to do with him, is my only point. If there's a lack of signings, talk to Walters.

I'm still trying to figure out what Darren Cameron has to do with it being slow...?? He's the communications guy, not the GM...

"The Darren Cameron" has been pumping out Handled Internally podcasts like crazy, so I don't think that guy ever takes vacation time...

Jones get the Bison on her back at Scotties, Einar wears the Red and White, and Lawes will be a Wild Card entry. Plenty of 'Toba talent at this year's Scotties. MB Select will come down to Carruthers vs Dunny, with the loser likely being a WC entry at the Brier.

Broadcast sched is out. Again, the pre-season schedule is embarrassing. No LOLks or Stumps.....but both Riders games make the cut. Bombers get the HOME pre-season game (thanks so much.,........) because it's the Gappers away PS game.....

He was not the MOOL. The only people saying that were just suffering fatigue of so many years of Stan and wanted something different just because....

Kolankowski is the C with Eli backing up.....IF Couture leaves....

This. Absolutely agree that Kola is underrated around here. I'm not concerned about our OL yet. SB66 will likely start showing his age soon, but aside from that, our OL is really good for awhile yet.
