I haven't watched any of it yet, are they doing any adult/edgy story lines yet?

You mean ideas he stole from ECW. They did it long before WCW ever did and raided the ECW locker room. From everything I've watched and seen , Bischoff was a good salesman / con man. Weaseled his way up in WCW and conned (for better or for worse) Turner into giving him money to go out and play. I think a lot of his success was also luck from WWE making terrible choices (dumping Hogan / Savage before they were truly done) and the benefit of being able to write blank cheques irresponsibly. For about a 1 year period WCW was really good (beginning of the nWo) but it was absolutely dreadful and hard to watch.

Magic Johnson was terrible lots of videos that made fun of him. One episode had Howard Stern who completely embarrassed him on his own show. The episode with Artie Langue on the Joe Buck show was super cringe. He nearly had Buck in tears. Both are must watch though super funny.

So what's the deal with Bischoff? His podcast was pretty dry as he rarely provided insight aside from how he stole talent. I can remember listening to several guys like Greg Gagne and others who claim the guy was a snake and shyster and literally lied his way to the top of WCW backstabbing everyone on his way up. Does the guy have any talent ?

I'm out of the loop which rider fan is nicthesizz? Migs? Brock Streveler?

Sarah Silverman late night talk show..... will it be as bad as the Magic Johnson or Joe Buck show from the past?

Streveler has a weird throwing motion, his arm is not my concern. I find his mid range passes to be way more accurate then Nichols, the ball seems to hit the player in the chest or in stride. It's his decision making which is questionable but to be expected from a raw young QB. I hope the team keeps him after this season but I'd like the club to go for Masoli in the off season because Chris still needs more time to grow.

Well including today his overall body of work this season has been not that good. Very rough around the edges, who would make them their starter at this point? The guy still has potential but unless a team wants the bumps in the road I don't see him getting starter money anywhere.

Jesus Christ how many times has Saskatchewan played against teams missing their starting qb. Horse shoes galore with them this season. Feels like every week they play against a team starting a brand new qb for the first time.

I liked the pressure the d-line brought today. The secondary also was playing aggressive which was nice. It also helped that VAJ made some brain dead throws. Streveler... love the guy but he needs two more seasons as a back up. We can't expect to win with him running non stop. This off season I would make a push for Masoli (assuming he's the only available decent qb) and I fully would support dumping Darvin and Whitehead and try someone new. I'd also like a new o-coordinator because the o was predictable and while they didn't run trick gadget plays... I still wish we could push the ball down the field more often.

1 - O-line as a whole, love watching Hardrick smash people down the field. 2 - Alexander - Massive difference with him in, big hits and closes in on the player way faster then Hecht. 3 - Harris just a beast. HH - Jefferson the guy is a must re-sign. Disappointed with Adams and the lack of effort , even Dunigan called him out. I also am not sure if I'd put Streveler as a top 3.... the running was good... the passing at times was real bad.

If we are comparing both guys when they were at their peak then yes ZC definitely was better. But if we are doing what have you done for me lately, Nichols has been light years better the last 2 seasons then ZC.

Our defense has also kicked major ass at times and dominated games. Why do we only focus on the negative? This team HAS shown that the defense can take over games. Our o-line was dominating in the first half of the season, Harris had huge holes and both qb's were well protected. Once again how come we ignore the positive? Also what does AH failing a drug test show? Before being caught he was MOP of the league. I'd agree with questioning the play calling and consistency, but to suggest we don't have the ability to dominate on both ends is extremely ignorant. Sometimes peoples emotions cloud reality.

Our defense is more then good enough to win a championship. On offense our o-line as of late has sucked (coincidence that the decline started when they made changes on the original group which was having great success) , our RB is still awesome. We have good enough receivers, some guys need to sit (Whitehead / Demski). The QB'ing of course is the only question mark and of course the coaching. If we played fantasy trades and somehow Reilly was on our team with a O-Coordinator that isn't so passive.... I think it would make a world of difference.

That wouldn't be a trade though.

Laine with 10 points on the season already...

Nichols based on his lack of accountability seems to be more of a me first type of guy. I've never heard any interviews or anything about him being a great mentor. Buck on the other hand definitely a good locker room guy. But isn't he up in the press box during the games? Willie Jefferson on the other hand has been here for less then a year and multiple players and reports mentioned about how he has coached and helped out with the younger guys.

Based on what reports? The only guy that I've heard that was hated was Kane.

I don't know why people are shitting on this trade. Nichols is not a team player IMO (I say this because he seemed to like blaming everyone but himself when things go bad). I like the idea of having a veteran qb who had some success to help calm and tutor Streveler in game in the moment. Also in case of emergency we do have someone with experience. The only way this is a fail of a trade is if the club expects him to start and if for some god awful reason they sign him next season and blow a first rounder. I don't see neither of those bottom two things happening. Veteran insurance for dropping two rounds isn't that bad.

Neal had 7 goals last season.... he already is at 6 for this year! Lucic only had 6 goals last season.... this year he's had no points and 26 penalty minutes. The Flames were doused in this trade

I'd be more interested these days in Rampage vs CroCop... Fedor is beyond done. That being said 15 years ago Fedor wins via G N P. Now a days a bloated Rampage KO's him with his first power shot

I'd take Franklin for a late late round draft pick. I'd only want him as a warm body in case of emergency. ZC is a useless move, the guy is one hit away from being completely scrambled. MBT while insane at least is healthy and at times can move the ball.

Who they going to get? Franklin is crap, Jennings is crap, Collaros is crap, Masoli *may* be the only available option and who knows how he will be after injury.

What's wrong with Walters and Miller?

I'm good with O'Shea coming back, but I want an attacking coordinator who pushes the ball on offense and on defense I'm cool with what we had today.
