Well that does it for me. I would expect that Leo is going to give up his private jets and his wild supermodel parties and live like a monk now, given what he saw happening in Calgary. I mean, warm winds are coming in and melting snow in the middle of winter. The world is definitely ending. Since it's the holiday season, I'm willing to help look after things while he makes that transition!

The problem with trying to go more "real" (at least in terms of in ring action) is that people know what real looks like, thanks to the UFC. When they try incorporating moves from mma, it looks terrible (Undertaker's gogoplata is a perfect example) and brings it back to the realm of being a parody.

Friesen is also aware that there's a new drug policy on the way for the CFL so other than to take a shot at the league/team, what's the point of bringing that up?

Why wouldn't they sign a guy with NFL-caliber skills? Even if it's not our most pressing need, they should be trying to improve any chance they get.

Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming #Bombers add International LB Kyle Knox. The 6'2" 220-pounder has 16 games of NFL experience, primarily on special teams with New Orleans. http://www.bluebombers.com/2015/12/10/bombers-add-linebacker-kyle-knox/

lol why? Craig Smith is horrible. The only team that has brought in worse talent than us import wise over the past number of years. I've heard he's quite good on the Canadian side... perhaps my sources were incorrect... I forget where I read it... Maybe here?

If replacing his 2 points over the last 10 games is a problem, then the Jets are in trouble. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Ehlers but he's being out produced by Thorburn right now. We're only talking a couple weeks (he'd miss 6-8 games) so I'd put Armia in for him. Injuries happen. I'd feel no different if he got injured in practice, an NHL game or at the WJC. You can't plan for something like that. Besides, I'd say, given his size, an injury is more likely to occur playing against grown men in the NHL than against a bunch of teenagers.

I'd let him go. His confidence seems to be down right now so why not let him go light it up at the WJC to build it back up?

He's from Toronto... Enough said.

I'm with Rogers and as much as I dislike them, I can't complain about my service with them. I'm with them for a few reasons that probably don't apply to most people: 1) My corporate plan is much cheaper than anything out there (as far as similar plans go). To get a comparable plan with MTS, it means paying an extra 50% each month and getting less data/minutes/features. 2) I'm out of province a fair bit so I need coverage outside of Manitoba and that's where I've heard MTS suffers a little (no idea if that's actually true though). 3) If I was to go with MTS, I'd want to bundle all my services but they still do not offer TV service in my immediate area of the city because of the way they set up their system (I'm basically a couple streets "out of range").

I don't want us to roll the Dyce on Bob. Yeah, I know.... Position coach, sure. OC no way. I'd love Dyce back here for Special Teams coach. But I wouldnt mind C.Dickenson or Kilam here too... whoever becomes available. Dickenson apparently will either follow Jones or hook up with his brother in Calgary. If he goes to Calgary, Penton says Kilam would likely wind up in BC or Toronto.

Bilukidi is the better bet to be here next year. He's had a few workouts since getting cut but nobody has signed him. Mulumba is on the last year of his contract and wants to stay in Green Bay but he's been a healthy scratch quite a bit this season so I guess there's an outside chance for him too.

The story from Craig Reynolds (a fairly reliable source) is he asked Huff if he was interested... Huff said no... end of conversation... there was never an "offer"... That still is tampering. But this is the CFL so it's pretty much a joke. Apparently it's not considered tampering in the CFL: http://www.tsn.ca/roughriders-never-made-offer-to-hufnagel-1.403336

Keep spinning. You keep conveniently leaving stuff out. Trudeau did go not directly from a single small movie role to leader of the oppostion. If that makes him an actor, then his fight with Brazzeau must make him a boxer too right? I'm not saying that Trudeau has the resume that Harper does, but you keep making leaps from something in his past directly to where he now so it works both ways.

Can you recall one that made the direct leap from teacher to PM?

To be fair, the last guy went from university drop-out to PM so there's no set path to becoming head of state in Canada.

Yep, same reason as why doesn't Edmonton can't keep him. Money isn't an issue for them, already having someone in the GM role is though.

Did they actually plan to survive? I would think engaging the police in a shoot out and throwing bombs at them would be the acts of people pretty much expecting to be killed. There's a couple things that make me think they at least prepared for survival: 1) They left a huge cache of ammo & explosives at home... why not bring it unless you think you'll make it back home? 2) The bomb they left in the building had a remote detonator (which thankfully didn't work). That tells me they planned to be safely away from there when the bomb went off. It's possible that they didn't think the cops would track them down as fast as they did. The SUV was rented so maybe they thought that even if the guy had been ID'd, they'd be looking for his car, not a rental right away.

Getting into possible spoiler territory (you have been warned!), there could very well be a couple "Glenn" scenarios. One of the things the show has always done when they kill off a major character is they make 100% sure you know the character is dead (Eddard, Joffrey, Robb etc)... they didn't do that with Jon or with Stannis last season so there is speculation that both return. Jon's "death" was the cliff hanger in the book as well so nobody is quite sure how that plays out but Stannis is very much alive at the end of the last book so that's why people are thinking Brienne might not have killed him (they show her swinging her sword but you never see his body).

I'm still excited for the show but I'm probably more excited that the next book is almost ready. The flip side of that is that it means the anticipation for the "final" book starts, which is who knows how many years away. I say "final" book because Martin has admitted he might go past the planned 7th book.

Madani wasn't necessarily wrong when he reported that. Wally's tweet says as of today, the bombers have permission. Doesn't mean that was the case a few days ago.

Pretty sure that was the story right from get-go..... I know that was the rumor, just hadn't seen anyone actually confirm it until now.
