Just so everyone knows, teams and the league are under no obligation to report when players enter drug rehab. Several players enter rehab throughout the league each year and it never gets reported by anyone. It is actually part of their bylaws that they do NOT report this kind of thing as it is believed that allowing these problems to go public can actually make an addiction issue far worse.

You have an entire generation who grew up with no parents thanks to residential schools. Did you grow up with anyone whose parents weren't around? How did they end up? Now apply that to an entire race for a generation. Now that generation has kids and have no idea how to raise them because they had no parents themselves. And the cycle continues. So who is supposed to step up and lead them? I agree that it has to be natives who lead natives and make the changes. But it is going to take a remarkable person or group of people to lead them, and it might be awhile until that happens because of the long term damage that has been done to their people.

Not terrible. I live in a 7th floor 1BR condo in the south end... About 700 sq feet, no river view. I rent so I don't have to worry about condo fees but my neighbors tell me the fees are around 250. There is no gym or home phone but that includes everything else. Yours seems slightly high but sounds like a nicer place. If you have underground parking I'd say the fees are pretty reasonable. If not, still not so bad. Personally I would never purchase a condo but that's just a preference on my part.

Those prices seem quite reasonable. I wouldn't even think twice.

I would love to see Sheets here. Maybe he has lost a step but maybe he could also be dominant. He's shown what he can do, he is worth the risk, IMO.

I doubt they would change the prices but I could see them doing deals where you buy a pack of tickets and get some concession vouchers.

You would think guys like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees would make NFL types think twice about judging QBs by their height but most still prefer QBs around 6'4 or 6'5. A 6'2 undrafted QB coming out of the CFL already has the deck stacked against him.

They sell green Jets jerseys as well

I'm no Pavelec defender but that's not even slightly accurate.

Gives us 3 dangerous lines. I like it

We'll never see him.

Not as much as they would sting if they were regulation losses.

Yeah but really... The only teams that are actually close to the Jets are the Flames, Sharks and Wild. The Flames just lost Giordano, possibly for the season. That would kill their chances. And the Sharks seem to be falling out of it. There is even word that they are shopping players like Niemi. Doesn't sound like they are gearing up for a postseason run. I'm confident that as long as the Jets don't completely blow it over these last 19 games, they will make it.

Jets played a good game against one of the best teams in the league. They lost in the shootout so they lose the point but they played well enough to have a chance to win. This game gives me hope that they aren't going to just fold and fall out of playoff position.

Frolik could play top 6 minutes for a lot of teams in the league. Not hard to imagine a team like Edmonton or Columbus throwing 4 million+ at him. I love Frolik but can we afford to spend 4 million on him for 4 or 5 years? I'm not sure.

Seems unlikely that he will be able to play up to that contract.

I like this a lot more than I would have liked acquiring Bergenheim. Nice move. Maybe we can even keep him around after this season if he shows well... he is only 26 and would come at a reasonable price.

I disagree. I think the Jets are good enough to make it but not good enough to beat Nashville or Anaheim in the first round. And neither of those guys would change that, IMO.

I read the whole thing. He certainly makes a convincing case. Kinda have to take him at his word that the data says what he says it does and of course all the technical details, but it is very interesting. By far the most plausible theory I have seen.

There's been a lot of talk about Bergenheim but I never really bought into it... I'm glad we didn't give up a third round pick for him. We'll see how he does in Minnesota but I'm not expecting much.

Can't see any draft picks stepping in this season and starting right away and making a difference. Could easily see a top ranked receiver or defensive lineman stepping in and playing right away. Any players good enough to step in and play right away are the same players that will attract NFL interest. And I doubt any receiver will be good enough that we're switching our ratio and only playing two imports. If he's that good, that just means JFG is back on the sidelines. OK well you're the expert I guess.

Did you even read my post? I'd argue we have 8 legit Canadian starting options. Lol yes I read it but I didn't need to read it because I have my own opinion on our Canadian situation thanks. And we don't have 8 legit starting Canadian options, we have 6. Hurl or Newman MIGHT be capable of starting but they haven't shown that yet. Thomas and Brown are rotational players at best. Having enough Canadians to start is again coming down to hope, because its definitely not a sure thing. God forbid Matt Bucknor or Rory Kohlert get injured because we will be in some trouble. Our Canadian depth has not improved by as much as you seem to think. It's still in rough shape.

Still the same problem we had last year, IMO. No legit 7th Canadian starter. If Hurl can't be an every down starter then we are in trouble.
