I guess it's better then nothing... I'd rather they would of picked up a draft pick instead since receivers are dime a dozen.

I also like the strategic placement of photo enforcement... always found it bizarre that they would set up a ghost car far away from a school across a field where no kids walk. You would think for safety that they would have that ghost car right in front of the school where they cross to catch buses and what not....

I think WiseUp has a bunch of reports and stats about different methods of increasing safety which the city doesn't use as it doesn't generate revenue. I remember one of them was adding an extra second to the yellow light and/or an extra few seconds for the red lights. They had a study where doing this simple adjustment dropped the accident rate quite a bit in where it was tested.

But why was he hired to "watch" over his brother. The point I'm getting at was that some of my posts were deleted in the past because I brought up that his family had came to Winnipeg a while back and they held an "intervention" and were trying to get Trouba in rehab because off some ice issues. It went along with the Bogsian rumours. Everything does make sense with his brother getting the boot and his family wanting Trouba closer to home. It makes way more sense that his parents are worried about Jacob turning into the next Setoguchi and now with his brother not being under his watchful eye they want him close enough so that they can keep him out of trouble. That story makes way more sense then him wanting more minutes or switching sides and all the weird crap his agent has fed the media. It's not like they want to say Jacob is damaged goods, please sign him for a 7 million dollars because he may be a liability with his off ice problems. Same goes with the Jets... it's not like they want to lower his trade value by saying he's a problem child.

But why would he be gone? Doesn't he have a 2 year deal with us?

Has anyone seen the season premiere of South Park for this season... it really sums up how hilarious and gong show like this election is.

What do you mean by watch over his brother? Why would they do that?

Shame on them.... They can get tickets on people in a much less dirty way. In Winnipeg they can go to any corner and find a tonne of people driving with cell phones on.

I 100% believe the mommy and daddy are calling the shots. Remember on this very same board about a year or two ago when I said that his mom and dad came to town and they had an intervention with Jacob because of the rumors we are not to speak of. Former roomates with Bogo... all the other crap we have heard rumours of that ended up being true... the Setoguchi story... I think his parents want him closer to home so that they can keep an eye on him and keep him out of trouble...

Weren't Trouba and Bogo roommates and really close friends?

I'm guessing Montreal and Toronto? Wouldn't it be funny if we signed him.... how many Rider fans would freak out if we beat them with massive games by Durant, Dressler and Smith?

Would Buffalo really want to put those guys back together?

Completely off topic and unrelated.... I watched an old promo of Brian Pillman when he returned to ECW... I did not realize how damn good that guy was on the mic. Had he stayed healthy and alive he may have been bigger then Austin back in the day...

No

How did Martin look in his first game with us?

I agree totally... who does this guy think he is? Maybe if he was improving every season and was looking like a top guy in the league (like Scheif) then he would be in a position of power. If he wants out... trade him to Buffalo!

Ray? I see him more like a smarter Burris. That arm is a rocket!

Don't forget Sinkfeld

I don't think he's racist... didn't he have Bobby Lashley help him out in the WWE a few years back??

They don't care about a sales persons product knowledge... they care about will they push the warranty and or to sell based on what has better margins for that week until the next flyer comes out. Staff do learn a tiny from the manufacturers sales reps who visit once in a while. The problem is turnover is so frequent and anyone with product knowledge and who can sell usually leaves ASAP to make commission at one of the other places.

I could be wrong but isn't that where most of the vets in the province go to school to become a vet?

I remember when one of the girls in the computer department didn't know what USB ports were used for lol... Some of the staff will know what they are talking about. It's just that they are pushed to lie and sell certain products. One week Samsung TVs are the best the next week then they will push Sony. Depends on the margins and for which company are paying for end cap space.

Absolute worse place that I ever worked at in my life, I helped open the store on Regent. So 12 years plus ago. I could write a massive rant I'll try to keep it simple. They pay slightly above minimum wage and managers make low salaries with a tonne of bonuses if they meet near impossible goals. When I would sell a big screen + cables + surround sound for around $8000..... at Future Shop I would of pocketed near a grand in cash from the commission. At Best Buy i would get a pat on the back and maybe a 50 dollar gift card. If I sold that package without the Best Buy extended warranty then i would of been scolded and lectured! Apparently now days from talking to the guy who tried selling me the tv they don't even give presents or gift cards... just the hourly crappy rate. This is why at Best Buy you mostly see 18 - 21 year olds with zero clue on what the hell they are talking about. Usually they are suckers who believe the **** that Best Buy feeds them and will stupidly work for peanuts selling big money items. Reminds me of the pawns that do the dirty work for Scientology. Tonnes of dirty business practices... nothing really illegal but morally I couldn't stand being there. If you were to come in to buy a cheap $40 dollar DVD player... I was suppose to push a $35 dollar extended warranty, $200 dollar monster cables and a ridiculously over priced power bar. I was suppose to read out the "10 points" in the extended warranty script given and if you left with only the $40 dollar dvd player rather then paying $300 for everything... I would then get reprimanded. We were forced to push certain items with larger margins and way over priced accessories. The commercials are a farce because they push the employees way more to sell crap that customers did not need. I could go on with a massive long winded rant and examples... but I will spare you the boredom and just say that Best Buy is a terrible terrible company that rips off their employees and customers big time.

It's better then bringing in recycled garbage

He also traded for Buck Pierce way after his expiration date... for years Buono has made questionable decisions. With Toronto they had 2 young guys... Harris clearly demonstrated that he can start in this league and Ray was already prone to injuries by that point... yet they decided to go old instead of young.
