This schedule will appal both of their fans.

Denmark, Moore and Kohlert are all move the chains, sure hands type guys. We're really missing a boundary WR. Moore and Denmark are both ok there, but better suited to the slot. Based on Adams, Tuinei, Childs, Gettis, Clemons being in camp, that's the spot they are looking to fill. Having a run game that can break a tackle will open up some space for everyone too. I'm big on having a devastating run game and have been for years. When the DBs have to play up tight to the line, suddenly all kinds of room opens up on the medium routes and 10 yard passes become 25 yard gains.

And there go all the opportunities for sheep jokes.

Now you've gone and ruined it for us.

Maybe because Richards has yet to show up? Richards is a non-counter. Remedial math class will take care of that.

Depends where he lines up eventually. If he has the size to play wideout then he'll most likely ever only play on one side of the field, reducing the number of routes on the tree by 50%. And it's not like every team uses a zillion different routes, I can't see him learning (or knowing) being that big of an issue. Just gives you an idea. Where were you when Mike Kelly was coaching.... I couldn't help but notice the jet sweep is not listed here... That happened against Anaheim, only it was reversed.

Even for a second rounder (and Evan Gill) I think it's a good deal. But Kyle maybe looking for another (NI) player instead of a draft pick. I just proposed that because Walters lost the 2016 first rounder in getting Waggoner. But I agree; replace the first for a second rounder and it's still probably a trade I'd make. Greaves is a proven starting NI. Gill + 2nd rounder is not enough value. First rounder was closer. One proven for two unprovens with projected high potential. This seems to have been simmering on the back burner for awhile, so if the rumour persists, it probably has some basis in fact. We would also seem to have an excess of NI DB/linebacker candidates, so they might figure into the deal.

Doubt it. BC was short of good Canadian receivers last season and Poblah did not see much of the field. Wally is not omniscient but he's generally a pretty good judge of talent and he couldn't even trade Poblah for futures.

No, its the shed for the VIP carriages and donkey carts for the plebes.

You have a rich fantasy life, don't you?

Fixed that for you.

is that a fat joke? Maybe. The center in an Oreo is mostly lard.

Thanks, Mike. Gives us some clues as to the shape of things to come.

Re: Richards' footspeed or lack thereof- whilist living in Saskabush, I had occasion to see Ray Elgaard a few times. He sure as spit didn't scare anyone with his speed, but he was good enough with his hands to more than offset that. Richards comes across as a good student of the game, durable and with good work habits. Not worried about him at all.

Are ewe trying to pull our eyes over the wool?

I love the quantum shift in organizational attitude. The "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" mindset has to translate down to the field where players know that the effort they put out and pain they endure will not be for naught, and they had better put out or be replaced. The difference between winning and losing is often confidence, and if the players know that all the stops have been pulled out with going to the Grey Cup as as assumption, everybody wins, fans, management and players alike.

Yaaaay! Another piece of the puzzle in place.

I suggest that, if you are going to do that sort of thing, you may want to take some "before" pictures of your face to help the plastic surgeons in the reconstruction.

I think it's also important to note that some religions have moderated their views in conjunction with changing social mores, and others haven't. The ones that haven't should be the focus of ongoing vitriol in my opinion, especially in places where people are being executed. Yes, the Irish have made amazing strides! Thank God it wasn't left to the politicians. They would have been dithering until the next millenium.

So what's Iran's excuse? In Iran's case, religious extremism. Ever notice how the extremists in pretty much every reiigion all adopt the same belief system- homophobia, subjugation of women, intolerance of other beliefs, rigid behavioural rules, violent militancy and so forth? It also applies to the nuts in other non-relgious groups as well.

I think its more how some of the damaged or power-hungry individuals within various groups choose to interpret the culture of their group, although there are groups who are completely malignant (like the white supremacy lunatics funded by the Coors family).

Not less than 9 & 9, but 10 & 8 and even 12 & 6 should not be considered out of reach.

Much of the virulent homophobia comes from people (male and female) who have homosexual histories or sexual deviancies themselves- like Jim Bakker and, recently TV "star" homophobe Josh Duggar was outed as a pedophile.

As someone said, "Silence is complicity". When our own actions are above reproach, then we can criticize others.

There seems to be a certain percentage of almost every group who fit into the "lunatic fringe" category, and by no means are they all "Christians" or even religious adherents of any sort. You will find more of them in certain groups, like fundamentalist literalist believers of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and so forth, but you will also find them in macho right-wing cultures like the military, and police, and the neanderthal attitudes even extend to gynophobia, racism and beyond.
