It doesn`t look like there`s a lot of confidence in Etcheverry here, but it all comes down to two things: we`re saddled with him, like it or not, and O`Shea ought to be able to figure out whether his new DC is competent or not. We ought to know within the first month or so if we`re in for another long season.

The article seems to be really promoting Dylan Ainsworth as someone who has the potential to be a sleeper with the comparison to Blugh.

So... Quinn Smith on Steroids... basically fucks everyones mock draft right
Life is just fulla surprises.

Duressler (to me) was stating that it seems like more athletes today are using illegal drugs like marijuana or performance enhancing drugs like Stanozolol. I think his comments are directed towards them either not being very bright or that they are cheaters. Hence the integrity comment. Some will get caught & others won't but why take the chance?
You misunderstood. I don't believe that Quinn Smith didn't know exactly what he was doing. My comment was referring to Duressler47's apparent shock at the fact that some athletes use steroids and other drugs. It is incredibly widespread.
University educated man intent on playing in the CFL & he claims he didn't know that what he was taking (Stanozolol) was a steroid? Who is being naive here? I think it's you Atomic.
Oh God don't be so naive.Good lord, what's with all the players being caught using illegal drugs? Seriously, get your **** together, players. Get some integrity.
Because for every one that gets caught, 99 get away with it. And the rewards are money, glory, beautiful women, and making a career out of playing a game you love. I can't blame guys for trying to get every edge they can.
Not likely he's going to be all that popular with the ladies for long- any steroid is essentially synthetic testosterone, and if guys are on it for extended periods, the steroid suppresses the natural production of testosterone. The testes slow down and finally shut down production of testosterone, eventually permanently. While on artificially high levels of the drug, typically male attributes like aggression and sexual attentiveness are heightened, but once back off the steroids, arousal and erection are very difficult to impossible, and estrogen begins to take over. The testes shrink to almond size and the person has to be on daily injected synthetic testosterone permanently to avoid losing male sexual differentiation characteristics. And that doesn't even talk about possible cardiac myopathy and loss of bone density.

Marijuana possession laws in Canada are ridiculous. I have 3 friends, 2 lawyers and a judge that get together with our wives every 2 - 3 months for dinner at one our houses. Usually after supper the men and sometimes women head to the garage and smoke a couple of joints.
A friend of mine who took many of the same classes as I did would often share a joint just before our exams. It would settle us down and open up the mind. But remember, pot was a lot less potent in the 70's as it is today.
I hate Sheets but I feel he was unnecessarily punished.
The laws may be silly, but this is not about the law. It is about an athlete who has a chance to make a major career advancement and threw it away. His agent and common sense would have told Sheets that he should be on his best behaviour, but his arrogance and/or stupidity overruled that.
And your assertion that pot opens up the mind is very questionable. It produces a perception that competence is enhanced but it is actually the opposite. How many times have you heard someone say that a few drinks makes him a better driver?

He may be a stop-gap measure for 1 or 2 seasons. Steady if not spectacular, but its kinda hard for me to visualize some age 34 to be nearly "washed up".

Now that Police, Mack and Burke are all gone, is Etch being set up to be the next whipping boy?

One would think that a CFL player who is trying to get into The Big Show for huge dollars and all that comes with it would be on his best behaviour until at least it was a done deal. Besides, they have urine testing down there and THC stays in your system for a long time. He was playing Russian Roulette.

Well, we need the CFL experience at MLB, and Lord knows he has the aggressiveness, but if he cannot stick with a talent-poor team like the Esks, what does that say?
-
Why do we always have to tell people how we think they should live? They can do what they want.
And they will.

Better than I had expected, considering the gawdawful name for the team.

It might be an opening for AHL hockey.

I won't argue about watching what you eat and making sure that you eat stuff you aren't allergic too. Food allergies are a big thing and a lot of people aren't even aware that they are eating food they are allergic to. Then they change their diets and they feel a lot better. Makes total sense.
So eating healthy and eating vegetables - awesome. Paying three times as much for basically the same food - your choice, but that just tells me you have too much money.
And more good news for you- Kelowna has been identified and having the best, purest tap water in Canada, and that probably means the USA as well.

Point Douglas would have been interesting. Just to see what they could do with the area.
To be honest, when I walk from my hotel to the stadium in Regina on Labour Day, I don't get the sense of it being the nicest area around either.
Yeah, that isn't a nice area to be sure. But the new stadium in Regina is going elsewhere & I believe that the Mosaic Stadium site & neighbourhood will be razed for mixed development after that.
Considering that this is Regina, how will they know where to stop bulldozing derelict buildings?

I vote for Australian lawn darts championships and international tiddly-winks. What the heck, if they can consider poker as appropriate for TSN, there ought to be nothing wrong with my suggestions.

It confirms my impressions from the highlite video. If this guy isn't brittle or have an NFL yearning, he ought to tear up the league for us. If he runs sloppy routes, it could also mean lack of personal discipline.

AKA: verbal diarrhea.

A puzzlement, to be sure- perhaps he had a change of heart and didn't want to be here.

First, Wide Receiver Donavon Kemp from UTEP.
At 6'1" and 194 pounds, he's got the body to play inside or out for the Cowboys. When you look at his pro day numbers, though, he really looks like an outside receiver. 4.4 second 40-yard dash, 37.5" vertical, and an 11'2" broad jump. This is a truly explosive receiver with good height and great vertical. His broad jump is in the elite range.
When you watch him, you might be disappointed to see that none of his routes are all that crisp. In fact, a number of his plays were made by simply flowing to an open area and waiting for the ball (then again, if you watched Laurent Robinson for us last year, that's essentially what made him so productive for us).
Once he gets the ball, however, he has an explosive first step and eats up yardage quickly. In traffic, he sometimes gets into trouble. His measured agility is very average for an NFL receiver, but, in college, he would often use jukes to get around defenders. In the NFL, those tricks won't work. Thankfully, he has the explosiveness to compete at the highest level, and has two of the best in Miles Austin and Dez Bryant to learn from.
Another area in which Kemp stood out was special teams. In the video, you see him blocking for returns, and returning. He really stands out as a blocker. He was all too willing to put his shoulder into coverage personnel and lay them out. He almost seemed to enjoy it more than catching the ball.
All-in-all, Kemp has the measurables to become a real force on the outside for the Cowboys, even if only in spot duty. His straight-line burst is exceptional. He should be as effective as Sam Hurd was on special teams (and much faster). Look for Kemp to seriously threaten for a roster spot. He was an excellent pickup as a priority UDFA.
Good analysis. Thanks.

Lets keep this in perspective, folks. No big project is completed without a problem or two-sometimes big ones in spite of the best efforts of all concerned. Way back in another life, I worked for a major supplier to the construction trade in Winnipeg and from first-hand experience I can tell you that there were problems with the construction of the Concordia hospital, Convention Center and Eaton parkade. Those were the ones I knew of, and I was told of others in Toronto, Edmonton and (ugh) Montreal. About 4-8% of every construction budget is allotted for "contingencies"-unforeseen owies. The current problems are unfortunate but not not unknown in the industry.

I DO think this may be helpful when the average fan has no idea about the actual rules.
The problem might be the media has no idea about the rules also, the refs would have to explain to the friesens of the world what the rules actually are first.
But they would have to use small words and lots of pictures.

Yes, Wild is very good, but trying to assess last year`s performance of the defensive unit is like trying to judge a track meet during an earthquake. It was such a mess on so many levels that the best thing to do is try to forget it and start with a fresh mindset.
