    do you know who that author of this blog is?

    I thought it was Darren Cameron when I first read it because it was so positive for us. ;)

    I poked around the blog and saw the guy is from somewhere in BC (no name was given though) so it sounds like a legit outsiders perspective rather than someone who drinks Blue Kool-Aid.

    The best reasoning I've heard on Waggoner is that his value was higher last year because there were no defensive players of his level in that draft class.  This year there were a few, so he probably drops some just because teams can get a player of his calibre who plays DL and DB.  And then there's Singleton.  So it's not that there was anything wrong with the choice, just now there were more choices.  And we got him a year early.

    So from the first 20 picks in the draft, we have Waggoner, Corney, Couture and Loffler to show for it.  That is an excellent haul.  One person's opinion.

    Yep, people have said this is one of the deeper drafts over the last decade so a high pick last year might not have been so high this year.  I'm good with what we walked away with, all things considered. 

  3. Sounds like it worked out for both teams.  More so for us though because we didn't have to give anything up for guys we ended up getting anyway.

    I figure we offered up one of our 2 picks plus #19 (I get that feeling because Walters mentioned giving up that pick) so we would have lost out on Loffler if my guess is correct.

  4. This has been rumored for months now and so far it's just been that... a rumor.

    If this happens, it won't be until after the ufc has their show in NYC.  Holding an event in Madison Square Garden has long been a dream of theirs and they have spent millions trying to get MMA legalized there.

    Jernigan has been put on our retired list. I guess he didn't like what he saw while he was in Winnipeg...

    Here's a quote from when Jernigan left mini-camp:

    Quote

    “He actually went home today, personal reasons, he had to get home,” O’Shea said. “So we’ll see how that goes from this point forward. I don’t expect him back in this camp. It’s just too short to fly him home and fly him back.”

    I suppose those personal reasons could have been that he hated it here but that's not how it read it me.

    contra code for 30 lives, easy to beat a gamearrow-10x10.png with that kinda boost lol

    and LMAO @ electric seaweed, I used to always get stuck at some point in the gamearrow-10x10.png where the buildings would keep you from getting to the next sewer. glad the games got a little better after that first one.  except that street fighter version of ninja turtles, that was kinda lame

    It's actually called the Konami code because you can use it on a ton of other games (not just ones by Konami either).  There are still games coming out that use the code, although the "bonus" for using it varies wildly.

    Konami games that use the code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_code_games

    Non-Konami games that use the code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_code_games/Non-games
