sweep the leg

It doesn't say he took less than the Bombers offered. Other teams also made him offers. Regardless, he's from California and will have a real chance to start out there.

Meh. When Benn, Spezza, Seguin were on the ice they were all over us, but otherwise I didn't see it like that. They're sure top heavy when they put those guys together. Not a lot of other talent on the team.

I was at the game and haven't seen any replays yet. Was the first goal on Helle pretty soft? It looked bad live. I thought Buff looked bad last night. He got beat wide a lot. Morrissey & Trouba are clearly our top pairing now. I thought Trouba had a very good game.

John Hodge of 3downnation says the extension of Chungh is the only thing that kept FA from being a "disaster" for the Bombers. That seems strong...

An article from 3downnation says Bryant is getting $160k per. Some guy on Riderfans said he's getting $210k this year, but didn't respond when I asked where he got that number from. So, pending further information, that number appears to have come out of his butt.

Good for Lafrance if he can keep the job.

That's what people said about their signings last year, and they were right.

The handshake picture that's going around looks funny, but it's really been taken out of context. If you watch the video, Trudeau took maybe a second or two before he shook his hand.

Any guesses what Wild makes? I'm interested to know how big of a difference there is in pay between him and Burnett.

I can buy that he tries to do too much, which is the opposite of not caring. That's crazy talk to drag Wheeler into that conversation.

Are you seriously making an argument that Wheeler plays like he doesn't care?

I would hope not. I was happy to see how strongly he defended his story in that radio interview. I so badly want this to be true...

A Jones denial means nothing. Dunk has way more credibility than him.

I don't think it could be any better than to have BLM bust them again.

Not really. That was a realistic promise that he just didn't follow through on.

Forgive me if I've already posted this, but Sanders' campaign was like a kid in junior high running for class president who promises longer recesses if he's elected. Everybody cheers b/c who doesn't love recess, but there's really no chance it would ever happen.

So your American friends are ok with white nationalism, but draw the line at political correctness?

Schedule's up. Week 1 bye is pretty shitty. That takes us into a week two stadium opening game with the Riders.

You get a participation award for trying so hard to make the ribbon joke work.

Most of their jobs are probably pretty different than professional wrestling, and certainly you don't believe every person who's working at that age is doing so just to stay active? I suppose as long as they're doing it for fun, and not b/c they'll be living on the street if they don't, is what matters. If that's the case then good for them. There are enough sad stories about old wrestlers that my first assumption is usually that they're doing it b/c they have no choice.

That picture makes me sad for the guys who can't leave the business.

Except one's a skill and not just luck! So not really...

It's not similar at all. In the NHL both teams have an equal opportunity to win from the opening faceoff in ot.

I think Stafford would get us a 4th or 5th rounder. Maybe even a 3rd given the way some trades are structured to improve the pick based on the playoff performance of the team. That might be pushing it though.

The problem seems fairly obvious. Only one team had a chance to score. It's nothing like running up the score, b/c after each td in a blowout the other team at least gets a chance to respond.
