Will there be a 2016 playoff Crossover?
Yes.... 5 Canadians on the OL is nice, but if they can't protect, it doesn't make much sense... EDIT: My mistake, looks like they are only starting 4 Canadians on the OL now. Still...

Will there be a 2016 playoff Crossover?
Toronto isn't making it easy on themselves but when I watch them they look like a .500 team. They'd have to go 5-3 over the final 8 to make it to 9-9, though. 8-10 seems more likely for them. Can Edmonton and Winnipeg both do better than 8-10? I think so. So yes, there will be a crossover.

I don't know what to say about this video but it's wrestling related and it's Kliff Kingsbury: http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0906/617252/lita-said-last-night-raw-went-off-the-rails/

World Cup of Hockey
Yes... Rask is there too. They will have a decent top line and top 2 D but they don't have the depth. But you never know. Chemistry is funny and the Finns always seem to have it.

Around The League Regular Season Discussion
Wow! Didn't think we'd ever see Hunt back in the CFL. As much as I hate the Esks I'd still like to see him do well. Wish we had picked him up. Wonder what his salary is like?

Willy vs Nichols After 5 Games
It's still a wildly imprecise science and if you follow the studies around this topic, and it sounds like you do, then you should know that. Even the top researchers in the field would admit the same. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that as outside observers, we can't measure it at all.

Got a good laugh out of this. Alex Jones is such an idiot!

Where do the Jets finish
Top 3 in the division. I'm expecting big things this year.

World Cup of Hockey
Team Canada is going to steamroll the whole tourney. Young guns team should be fun to watch, though.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
Nice deal. He is a legit star and a great young piece to build around.

Willy vs Nichols After 5 Games
Yes that's true, Willy did play poorly. Also, Harris ran for 13 yards on 8 carries while Messam ran for 137 on 16 carries. Plus another 40 yards on 5 carries for Tory Harrison. Damn Willy.

Willy vs Nichols After 5 Games
OK cite the study that was done here, regarding Willy. That's what I mean. Certainly the ability to lead is a real thing, but no one can tell that by watching a football team play on TV. Or seeing them play live, for that matter. All we know is that the entire team is playing better now. And that's not all on the quarterback. Tell me the defence is playing better because they believe in Nichols and you'll get a big eye roll from me.

Willy vs Nichols After 5 Games
That's a little too "fluffy" for me. Ability to lead and win, confidence, spark, belief..... smells like something a newspaper reporter would write. Willy had issues but I don't think it had anything to do with those nebulous concepts.

Chris Jones Post Game
Very soft call to take away such a critical interception but there was some contact. I'd be pissed if the same play had gone against the Bombers and lost us the game. But the Riders have so many more problems than one bad call. Their defence and special teams are wildly inconsistent and Chris Jones makes bizarre in-game and roster decisions pretty regularly. I just saw that they don't have their 3rd or 4th round pick next year either. I don't know how they are planning on improving their Canadian situation. Without Darian Durant that team wouldn't even be competing in games but he can't carry the whole team to wins himself.

The league is making a conscious effort to watch for that penalty, they have been all year. I guess Bond just gets his hands up high a little too frequently. He basically mauls whoever is in front of him.
