  1. If Tim Burke, Casey Creehan, Pat Delmonaco, Craig Dickenson & Will Plemons can all find work after a 3-15 season, you don't think any of the current group would land on their feet?
  2. He pulled the same crap when he was coaching junior. Fantastic goalie, douchebag coach.
  3. Question ... how come you're not all over Brendan Taman for waiting almost a week to address reports of Cortez being let go? That's not exactly a quick resolution either. Or that Taman is waiting to see if they can land someone better before letting go of Hall.
  4. You have 3 options as far as I can recall. A: Pay in full Dec 15th. B: Use your playoff ticket credit as a deposit & do 6 monthly payments (for both GC and season tickets) with the 1st payment due Dec. 15th. C: Use your credit as deposit & pay in full by Feb. 15th (the date might not be exact but it was in Feb sometime).
  5. Nope. Black Eyed Peas in 99, Lenny Kravitz in 07.
  6. Change is good, but change for the sake of change is not always good. And unfortunately for you, all the old actors WILL be in this movie in case you didn't know. Luke, Han, Leia, Chewy, etc... will be in this. What they're trying to do is tie in the old with the new, which I think is a great way to keep it going. I know they will be in it, but I'd hate for them to be the main characters, and I really don't think they will be the focus. It's not unusual to me to not see them appearing in a teaser trailer, in fact I'm glad because that tells me they will be secondary characters rather than Luke and Han vs the universe part 2. I also see them as more supporting roles than lead ones while still clearly being important (much like Obi Wan was in A New Hope), Given that the story is set 30 years after Return Of The Jedi (and the age of the actors - especially Harrison Ford), I can't see them being the main focus. The 1st movie of each trilogy has used the biggest "name" actor (Alec Guiness & Liam Neeson) mainly in a mentor type role so I can see them doing the same kind of thing here.
  7. I would argue this point. Darth Maul's double light saber opened the door for modifications in The Phantom menace so I don't think you can lay the blame on JJ for that one. Not saying that his hilted version is a good idea, just that it's been done before. A double light saber has been in cannon for a long time, it's not actually new, so I don't mind that. I just think it looks dumb with it coming out the sides like that. As long as it serves some kind of purpose then I won't mind it. Is JJ's a whole lot different than a forked lightsaber though (just the angle and blade size imo)? There have been modifications to lightsabers for a long time and not all of them look good, but they still exist. http://www.forevergeek.com/2013/07/lightsaber-variants/

  9. Bump Denmark is up against Dressler in round two. Hopefully the green bastards are too busy arguing about dead people to flood another online vote. http://poy.tsn.ca
  10. I do to a degree. When I bought my first Xbox 360 part of the decision making to get that over the PS3 was my friends all had Xbox's and we could play online. I played NHL a handful of times but enjoyed playing my own career mode offline. I played Call of Duty online a couple of times but getting into a game with strangers resulted in my immediate and repeated death by gamers who were far more skilled then I was. It just wasnt fun. I play games for my own personal enjoyment so the online aspect doesnt overly appeal to me. I liked playing with friends when it was two guys (or more) in the same room. Nothing more fun then playing Goldeneye with a group of buddies. Even this week, the gf and I fired up Super Mario Wii and played through the game for about the 5th time. Its still fun. So much this. Getting my ass handed to me by a 10 year old who talks more **** than Rickey Foley is not my idea of a good time. I don't have time to put in the endless hours of gaming that I used to so I'm not at a skill level where online gaming makes much sense for me. When I do have time to game (if it weren't for netflix, my ps3 would be covered in inches of dust), I'm mainly playing RPG's anyway, so thankfully most of them are not geared towards the multi-player online stuff.
  11. Matt Nichols named starter this morning.................. He clearly mental once Nichols leg collapses on itself and goltz chokes himself on a TD celebration.. Pretty sure Zontar wasn't actually guaranteeing that Reilly will play. I recall a certain troll that made numerous guarantees that Durant would play at the end of the regular season because "Flutie had the same injury".
  12. That part is incorrect. Judges can & do still hand out Conditional Sentences (house arrest) all the time. What the government did do is revise the criteria (like they did with pardons) to restrict those types of sentences to less serious crimes.
  13. There's still a lot of ball left to be played before the coach of the year gets decided. Unlike other awards, coach of the year is based on the entire year (not just regular season) and only once in the last 5 years has a coach won without winning the Grey Cup.
  14. In the terms of agreement it says basically you acknowledge that it is an irrevocable commitment & cannot be cancelled for any reason during the 3 years. Each year, in mid-December, you are given options to pay for the upcoming year. If you fail to pay, the club can cancel your season tickets &/or take legal action.
  15. It's not apples to apples when you're comparing BC season ticket holder prices ($360) to Winnipeg non-season ticket holder price ($499). If you want to make a fair comparison, you'd say season ticket holders in your section (roughly 50 yard line) are being charged $399 while BC season ticket holders in similar seats are being charged $315
  16. Highest price for a Grey Cup ticket in BC this year is $360. The $499 is a joke. Ticketmaster says otherwise. $440 for the high end tickets for this year.
  17. P1 seats have always been called Pinnacle Club seats at IGF and that goes back prior to Miller running the team. They are basically just removing the P1 part and moving that tag down to what is currently called P2.
  18. I usually don't either but unless he's 100% lying in this case, then a high-profile cabinet minister made public statements against the PST hike to a member of the media a long time ago. That being said, it's not like she held a press conference (like they have been doing lately) so in once sense I'm not suprised it wasn't mentioned before now but I'm still curious as to why Sinclair would have sat on that for so long. God knows he's not above stirring the pot.
  19. Many people would be correct. Such richness coming from these clowns. They trip over each other to distance themselves from the PST hike now but where were they a year ago? More to the point why did they continue to support these NDP budgets that put the province in the position of "needing" a tax hike. And why didnt they come out sooner and accuse Selinger of lying? And he absolutely lied. He campaigned on no tax increase. He deserves what he gets. These things can go either way. A party in peril changes leaders and just keeps going under. One can hope. Here's an article from Gordon Sinclair about how there was internal NDP dissent & anger over the PST 16 months ago. I'm curious as to why he hadn't mentioned anything about this prior to now. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/columnists/oswalds-stabbing-words-280887752.html?cx_navSource=d-tiles-4
  20. De ferk? Literally no clue what your going for here.. Maybe something to do with Robert Baker not coming to Winnipeg from Toronto years ago? I dunno, just a guess. Yup, Shake Severs was his rap name, he never showed up. Fixed your post
  21. He is here and has been practising since at least the end of September. How he's been doing or how close he is to seeing game time is another question. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/brohm-preps-for-blue-debut-275969671.html
  22. To me, who we pick depends on their NFL chances. We don't have the depth yet to be able to pick the best guy available and taking the chance we don't see them for a few years (if ever). We clearly need help on the offensive line so that's where I'd be looking 1st. If Groulx or Boyko get a chance down south, then I wouldn't mind seeing Demski here.
  23. People might be associating the two of them for the simple fact that Katz had no political experience and he was backed by the business community & Bowman has no political experience and is being backed by the business community. It has nothing to do with with the fact they both had a career. All of the candidates except maybe Judy, have had a career but they don't have the business connections that Bowman does so they don't get the comparison with Katz. Katz was more well known at the time he 1st ran for mayor and he still got elected...Bowman is much more of an unknown so while I don't necessarily agree with the comparison, I don't blame people for being leery of potentially going down the same path we just went down.
  24. Strange. I have Shaw as well and I was able to watch both the Ottawa/Hamilton game and the Jets game tonight. I haven't had to change my package or pay extra either.
  25. He might still love the city but Suber had previously tweeted something that implied he is not a fan of Etch. Someone had tweeted something about the Bomber D being to small to stop the run & he replied that it was the system not the personnel (or something to that effect).
