Didn't hear much about him prior to this but Ed Tait has a nice little story up on Roc Carmichael & how Macho Harris lead him to Winnipeg. http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/28/mini-camp-feature-roc-carmichael/

Edmonton finally gets a UFC. I guess the appeal of a new arena trumps dealing with the gong-show commission they have there (which is why they haven't been back since the WEC days). http://www.tsn.ca/edmonton-to-host-ufc-216-at-rogers-place-1.736447

I watched it... it was alright, nothing amazing but not terrible either. It's definitely a new spin on an old story.

Even without his on-ice stuff, as soon as he named his kid Ryder, he instantly became a player I could never cheer for!

I was just gonna say, after they hauled Draisaitl off early in the 1st and left that sheep-f**cker Getzlaf on the ice, the Ducks definitely can't use the refs as an excuse.

But it always works out in his clients favour. Just ask Josiah St.John who held out for less money than originally offered!

The NFL draft starts tomorrow so we'll soon start to see how much actual interest there is for the top guys.

Read the bolded quote from Desjardins. He flat out says that there were active players (ie under contract) but he didn't want any of them. He didn't even really want Kohlert - they tried to pass on their last pick from the Bombers but the league said they had to pick someone.

Desjardins basically said our Canadian content was the sh*ts. He took Kohlert (a pending free agent) in the expansion draft because there was nobody else worth taking.

Star Wars IX gets an early release date. http://io9.gizmodo.com/star-wars-episode-ix-moves-to-may-2019-1794636919

Desjardins only had 3 picks too... his 1st pick (Macmillan) was better than all our 6 picks combined that year. IF Mulumba ever plays up here and IF he ever amounts to anything it might make it a bit closer but as it sits now that was a terrible draft (it wasn't a very good draft year in general though to be fair).

I love medieval history & have family ties to the character that Foster would be playing so it's 100% my kind of movie. Can't wait!

It's a long ways away but I'm pretty stoked for this one: http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/841219-outlaw-king-chris-pine

It was mentioned a few weeks ago that he's currently playing in a spring league. https://tommysportstalk.wordpress.com/2017/04/08/a-look-at-whos-playing-in-spring-league-football/

Well at least you'll still have the Patriots to bring you post-season joy!

He signed a futures contract with Oakland. Pretty sure he should be out of PR eligibility so he has to crack a main roster if he wants to stay down there.

Can i get a do-over? ?

Weird, I like where it's going. It'll be like my childhood all over again! I don't know if this is their year but the Oilers aren't far off and it's going to be a blast to watch.

Dunk reported the details. http://3downnation.com/2017/04/17/david-foucault-contract-details-bc-lions/

The usual acronym for A Game Of Thrones is GOT... but yes it is the only thing worth watching this summer! ?

I didn't mind FB. It certainly didn't measure up to the original series but what's coming in the sequels should be fun to watch.

Edmonton isn't really an exception though... McDavid should/would be higher if he didn't play in a small market. The fact that he placed 6th is just a testament to how good he is.

Winnipeg-raised prospect added to the draft. He figures to be a mid-round pick and would fit best as a safety... possible back-up to Loffler? http://3downnation.com/2017/04/11/intriguing-canadian-defensive-back-abubakkar-conteh-added-to-2017-cfl-draft/

I know it'll never happen but I'd love to see a team in Saskatoon just to see the meltdown over divided loyalties. They could name the team Rough Riders to really make it interesting (plus it's been too long since the CFL had two teams with that name).
