sweep the leg

The Lions relying on Lulay for next season seems a lot like us going into 2013 with Pierce.

Meh. I put up 17 points (9 & 8) in two games back in Atom.

Lapo, Barrett, & Steinauer would be my top 3 choices. Dickenson's not included b/c he's out of the running.

You're fantastic. Never change... I could be waiting in line for water while my hair is on fire and still not be able to match your level of impatience.

Giguere to Montreal is another Edwards rumour.

Not being what they were a few years back is a decline.

I'm not excusing a 26 year old man who cried on the sidelines rather than go out and try to make another play for his team. That was ridiculous.

All three should be major contributors too.

KptKrunch is a former player?

Could somebody give a link or point me in the direction of where Penton said all of this.

I'm enjoying the rational discussion in this thread...

You think Calgary would replace Dickenson?

He'll be the OC in BC with Lapo as HC. I've read this in too many places to not believe it's what will happen. Would absolutely love to get him here though.

The ratio of condenscending people is much higher here than in the general population. Ease up and remember we're all human beings.

You should put your comment back up. I had a good line about his reality show that I wanted to use.

How much more was there to say? Would there have been a thread about an NFL training camp cut neg listed by a different team if he wasn't gay?

You're adorable. Yes, everybody is a human being. Is every group of people represented in pro sports equally to their % of the general population?

You're absolutely right that it's ridiculous. I honestly think the media is trying to make a bigger story of it that most people really think it is. Not that many people would have cared if it wasn't 24/7 on ESPN. My favourite Michael Sam segment on ESPN was when they discussed how things would be in the shower with a gay man on the team. The producers must have thought he'd be prancing around the shower dropping soap in front of everyone.

Probably 10% for sure. I can understand why they'd prefer to wait to come out til after their career is wrapped up though. Probably for sure? I'd don't think the stats for the general population translate equally to pro sports. Not that I think Sam is the only gay football player out there, but do you really think there's an average of four gay players per team in the CFL?

If we were to trade Buff, and he'd be first on my list of guys to trade, I'd want players back, not more picks. I think we're at a point where we've become competitive and I'd look at it as a big setback if we dealt a major contributor on our team for picks.

I'd like to see a gradual increase in his workload, not just immediately hand over the job. Keep upping his playing time and see if he can maintain what he's doing now. Start Pavelec tonight and go back to Hutch against Boston.

So if we had the best fourth line in hockey, Maurice would still barely play them? Without question. Always deal in absolutes. It makes for great discussions.

Yeah, the 4th line not playing is more b/c of Maurice's philosophy than them being worse than every other teams' 4th line. We don't have the best 4th line in the game, but it's certainly not the worst either.

Was your friend's name Lauren Kroeker?
