It's funny how people come up with their little narratives about players. "Byfuglien is great for 20 games, average for 40, and costs you the game in the other 20!" Like are you kidding me? Not backed up by any facts whatsoever, just "feels that way", right? What a joke. Bottom line if you want Buff traded you're a racist.

Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.How does that make it more or less predictable? I'm just suggesting Moore and Denmark switch spots. No you're not. You just said you don't care where they line up, you just want Moore on deep routes and Denmark on short routes. Which is silly and predictable because the defence knows exactly what they're doing on every play. No team in pro football runs an offence that way.

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful. I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job. My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year).

That sounds impossible, is there a set of numbers that don't have an average?No but this isn't accounting and you can't learn politics by playing Number Munchers. So the ndp and liberals and communists are exactly the same? The conservatives and reform are exactly the same? How is 17to18 claiming that harper brought the torys further away from the far right of there is no gradient. Just a black and white set of binary ideologies? Not at all. There is far left, left, right, and far right. But there is no centre. And anyone claiming to be "centre" is kidding themselves.

I understand the financial implications but I'd still like us to re-sign Byfuglien. He is such a unique talent. Often he alone is worth the price of admission. Inconsistent? Bah. Every player is inconsistent to some degree. Blake Wheeler regularly goes 15 games between scoring goals but you don't hear anyone whining ad nauseam about that. Maybe it's because Byfuglien looks different...

Steve Morley's an idiot lol

There is no centre. People just say centre because no one wants to be known as left wing or right wing. Every person and organization leans one way or the other. Centre is just what right wing people say who don't want to associate with the homophobic, pro life, pro gun mentality that is associated with the far right. Same thing on the left for those who dont want to be associated with the hippies, communists, bleeding heart no jail no punishment types.

Without having any idea what Castillo can do??I'm sure he can kick converts Yep the most important part of the job for sure. Let's see if you're singing a different tune when he is 100% on converts and 60% on field goals???

We need to let his hit points replenish! After a long rest he should get them all back. Not sure what's taking so long. Can we set him up at the local inn?

Halischuk is on a two-way deal.

I don't know, I don't like rewarding losing either, but the team under Mike O'Shea does appear to be growing and improving. If it's another 7-11 year, or 6-12, it's still a tough call for me. If Willy was healthy we would be at a better record than 4-7, and that's not really on Mike O'Shea, that falls on Walters for not providing good backup QB talent. If we finish 4-14 or 5-13, let MOS go. Any better and I keep him around. Remember Jim Barker went 9-9 then 6-12 then won the Grey Cup. Feels like O'Shea is in the same ballpark.

If you recognize that everyone is biased then you should understand that the CBC is going to be biased as well, regardless of whether they are taxpayer funded or not. Just human nature.

Ya I have Xbox One which is what I bought NHL 15 for.

Well the CBC at least has a reason to be biased as they work directly for the government and there's no question that the NDP or Liberals will be kinder to them than the Conservatives have. Not that I think the CBC really deserves better treatment from the government, just that they will get it from the NDP or Liberals and they know that.

I usually get a game every few years. Since I got NHL 15 it will probably be a couple years until I buy a new one.

Your depth doesn't have to be rookies though. Halischuk and Fraser are two examples of veteran guys who might get pushed to the AHL by rookies. Sure, I understand that. I'm just very wary of going too young, too fast... And that's what I'm seeing right now. Not trying to be negative, it's just hard to ignore. I think our opening lineup will be: Ladd - Little - Stafford Perreault - Scheifele - Wheeler Burmi - Lowry - Ehlers Fraser - Copp - Thorburn With Hali and Peluso as extra forwards. Options for call-ups will be Petan, Cormier, Johnny Albert and Ryan Olsen. Not so bad but still seems a little scary to me. I just hope our prospects are as good as the hype train has made them out to be.

The problem isn't necessarily having 3 rookies in the starting lineup, it's what happens when there are some injuries. You bring up more rookies and suddenly 6 of your 12 forwards are rookies and you're getting pummelled every night.

Send it to your editor first

God help us if 3 rookies make the starting lineup out of camp. This could be a rough year.

This is just such a dumb way to look at it. You don't just start cutting players out of spite. Injuries or not he's our best receiver and cutting him makes the team worse. The scouting staff has been incapable of bringing in a good receiver so far and who knows what's available in free agency. Can't cut Moore until we have a star receiver to replace him.

Yeah it gets taxed harder here!

I think he played all 18 games for BC in 2013 so he might just be on a run of bad luck the last season and a half.... I'm certainly not ready to write him off as injury prone this quickly. He could still play 14-15 games this season which is reasonable.

Just to be clear, we don't actually lose a draft pick in any case. It is a swap of draft picks. So say the Bombers have a higher pick in the 4th round than the Ticats in 2017, the Ticats can choose to swap picks with the Bombers. The round will be determined by the condition.

Sorry to disappoint you but if the Bombers beat the aforementioned teams and everything else remains equal, then the Blue will be in the playoffs.lol! First they have to beat those two bottom dwellers but that won't be enough. That is just two games. To make the playoffs they have to beat >.500 teams and so far each one they have played they have been crushed. Montreal and BC have shown they can beat >.500 teams so right now I have to give them the edge. Sorry.No need to be sorry. There is nothing in what I said that isn't true. Should I explain it to you? I'd like to hear it. Beating BC and Montreal only will put us at 6-12 and that's not going to do it. Unless this is some wordplay thing. Then forget it.
