Honestly I'm not even sure what the issue is here. Sounds like a typical relationship. Even with a power imbalance that's not necessarily wrong. Maybe I am missing some details.

Could be though? 3rd overall if I'm understanding the rules correctly.

When you're talking about a (former) government employee and an elected official, I think it's fair to say that's a power imbalance. Certainly if the veteran was female and the MP male, it wouldn't even be a question.

It is definitely more common to sign with the original club but players sign elsewhere fairly regularly. Hard to put a number on it without going through on a case-by-case basis. Rich mentioned Okpalaugo... there was also Quincy McDuffie and Mitchell White last year.

Probably should have kept JFG at least.

The funny thing is that he wouldn't even have to make a splash. If he were to come into the league on a two-year-deal and just stay out of trouble for the length of the deal, he would be only 27 years old and could easily get some NFL interest. He wouldn't even have to play. Just show that he can be part of a team and not cause trouble and controversy. But he'll never understand that.

So now mob justice against senior citizens is acceptable...? Sorry but while the caption on the tweet may be misleading and the actual events leading to the beating are in question (for some reason your "snopes" accepts one side of this he-said-she-said without question... hmmm), the result is quite clear. There are some areas of Europe where vigilante mob justice is the norm and the local police stay away. Tell me... does it seem believable that this man was asked to put away his drink and then his son attacked the wait staff? I mean.. really? And even if that is accurate, it doesn't excuse mob justice being handed down.

Tharold Simon is legit. Played at LSU.... good size, good speed, NFL experience. Usually these last-minute additions are guys they've been waiting on for awhile and finally decided to come up to Canada. Really nice addition.

Disgusting!

Hi Bud. Thanks for the rundown. Right now it would appear that Alex Ross has the inside track on the backup QB job but a lot can change between now and June 14. I know this coaching staff likes consistency above all else, especially from the QB position. So Alex is going to have to come in and perform every day. After spending a year with the Lions, expectations will be higher than those for a raw rookie. We need a strong backup and it would be great if Alex could be that guy. He has a huge opportunity in front of him.

Maybe we could trade for Drew Willy

Yeah I agree in general, it is worth doing the due diligence. But damn we are in a tough spot right now. God forbid Nichols gets injured because even Gale or LeFeveour are going to be in tough to win us games. This is where the scouting staff really needs to pull through with a home run... I'm hoping Streveler can be that guy.

It didn't come off as negative to me. Just a genuine recognition that this team can play not their best game and still come away with a win that was never in question.

The problem with pursuing a retired player like LeFeveour is that he wasn't planning on playing so there's little chance he is in shape and there's only a week til camp. And its not like he was a star to begin with.

Love the Butch Cassidy reference

Both WPG and VGK can roll 4 lines and 3 d pairings comfortably but the Jets are loaded with superstar talent - Scheifele, Buff, Wheeler, Laine. That's going to be the difference. Both coaches have their teams buying in 100% but VGK just doesn't have that edge in high end talent.

I like every player on this team. They are just so damn talented.

I'm sorry you're still stewing. Try to get over it.

How dare he go to a hockey game

Jensen is retired. Gale could possibly be an insurance policy at least. I think we'd be his sixth team in six years in the CFL. If it comes down to Lindley or Kilgore, I honestly don't see either option as being any better than a rookie. Certainly not Kilgore, he is awful.

But who is still out there? Everyone is signed or retired.

Not surprising whatsoever. They had to have seen this coming.

If you want to be taken seriously on the world stage, develop nukes. This isn't a new concept.

The message has already been sent and received, years ago when the States developed nukes and became the world police.
