2019 Main Training Camp
In regards to rallying the team... last season it was night and day different between Streveler and Nichols. Nichols had moments but the offense fell into deep lulls with him being scared to make quick reads and doing a lot of safe dump offs. Streveler got the guys going big time, with his legs and with his quick strikes the team from a fans view looked way more energized and enthusiastic once he was in the game. Two seasons ago the guys rallied behind Nichols but last season not so much. It also didn't help that he sounded more whiny last season blaming everything else aside from his own poor play. I'm hoping this season it is not a repeat.

The TV Thread
It was an ok ending, a little to much focus on Sheldon though IMO. I would of liked to have seen a few more characters return such as Sheldons sister or the parents or maybe even closure on Howards dad situation. I thought it was a meh ending.

Most people didn't make excuses last season. I think the majority of people thought his throws were off. I'd say the only thing we may have done is slightly over exaggerate how good Streve was.

Lol it's ok to say Nichols was off the mark.

Lol I like in TBurg's world whenever we lose a player that guy was playing at his absolute peak and prime and that any new guy who replaces him cannot at all have a higher ceiling. Wild , Leggett and Fogg are easily replaceable and were all done. Nichols was crap last season and at least was looking better as the season went on. Apparently Streveler has no chance of taking the next step and is completely forgotten. Loffler was extremely mediocre for the last 2 seasons... is he a huge loss? The only spot that we really took a step back was at o-line and it's not like they don't have a plan to fill that void.

Who in the fack would think LeFevour being our 2nd string would equal best qb depth? The last time I was happy with our qb depth was Jones and Glenn. Maybe Pierce and Jyles also.

It's absolute bull crap, come on as if they need to expand the hours. It's absolutely ridiculous. I see more kids playing around the local community club and the park across the street from my house then at the parks near schools at 5:00 pm. When I was in Ontario last month they had school areas where when a yellow flashing light was blinking the speed limit was 40 km/h. The light was highly visible and the damn blinking light wasn't going on past 5 pm.

So what is stopping teams from signing a guy for a low salary, only for a local business to instantly hire the player as a spokesperson and pay him an extra big chunk of change during the off season?

ECW had a nice audience back when it was on the country channel (TNN). If AEW could get that kind of audience then that isn't a bad thing to start off with. When I watched ECW it didn't need to have roided up monsters like Hogan and Warrior. My favorite matches were ones that involved RVD, Jerry Lynn, 2 Cold Scorpio and Sabu. None of those guys are massive but they could put on great matches. I'd imagine they can get the 18 - 45 male audience by providing an edgier product. I don't think it need to go full blown ECW with staple guns and barbed wire ropes. It wouldn't hurt though if they had more storylines similar to Raven / Tommy Dreamer and if they didn't have cartoon character personalities like WWE.

I'd rather the new qbs get more of a chance to make the team. I'm pretty sure it's already set in stone that the 3 guys last year will be back with the same job this season.

KFC is god awful, I think it's also a rule that all KFC/Taco Bells have to be poorly renovated and rarely cleaned. I tried Popeyes a month after it opened and tried the "spicy" chicken sandwich. I'm not a spice snob but it had nearly zero heat to it. The chicken tasted exactly like the chicken fingers you can get at Chester Fried Chicken or your local 7-11. My co workers had various different items and nobody said that they wanted to try it again. The best fried chicken I've had was surprisingly at the Viscount Gort buffet. Super crispy coating and the chicken was tasty and not dry at all. Bigg Jay - Yes buffet is massive and has a lot of options. More options then buffet square does out in the Maples. However myself and two other people I know have each had food poisoning at different times when going there. The food tasted good (for what it is) but the track record has been poor and I'd avoid. Mongos is a much safer bet …. I've gone to Mongos probably 100 times and never have been sick once.

Hopefully not fight network if that even is still a thing.... Regardless I'd assume each episode would be live streamed online....

New Popeyes rumoured to open up at Henderson and Chief Peguis near Boston Pizza. I tried Popeyes on Kenaston and found it extremely mediocre. On par with KFC which isn't saying much at all. In unrelated news I saw a Facebook post that had someone with a picture of maggots in their food at Yes buffet from this past weekend. Yikes!

I think his value is worth that kind of money. The team more then likely will be struggling big time on offense and they could use all the help that they could get in getting those extra yards on the punt.

I'm not disagreeing in things being banned, but if they can ban a flag could we not also then ban burqa's or other non Canadian ways of belief?

Freedom of expression, I'm not saying it's right by any means at all. I've seen a house in Elmwood which I can't remember exactly what it says but something to do with Jesus in big bold letters. Some folks may find this offensive so should this person also be forced to take down the words? While I don't think their is any reason to have a Nazi flag at all, it's a slippery slope where in a country like Canada where everyone is free to have their own beliefs. If you start banning peoples beliefs where does it stop?

On that same note do we then ban the guys in town with the Dukes of Hazard car that has the confederate flag on it? I'm pretty sure in Canada and the States you have the right to express yourself. Where you can ding people would be if they are trying to incite a riot or commit the act of a hate crime.

I'm not condoning it by any means but having a Nazi flag is considered a hate crime? I'd assume he's safe because of free speech. I think a guy in North End drives around with a nazi flag and it's been in the news and he hasn't had anything charged against him.

Tom Magee was brutal, I remember watching one of his matches in Japan and the crowd was laughing at him. Unheard of from a Japanese audience back in those days. I think he was in a few movies and the last time he was in the news was because he was mobbed and beaten up and he looked absolutely terrible. The guy also had a striking resemblance to Kenny Omega looks wise...
