My response wasn’t necessarily directed at this young man and isn’t directed at an athlete describing his confidence it’s how sometimes players with aspirations to play in the NFL refer to our league that can come across as a bit, I don’t know, patronizing, condescending? We love our league so when an Athlete comes across as downgrading our league some of us get a bit annoyed then move on three seconds later. That’s all.

For sure. I think in some cases the annoyance comes from not what they're saying but how they're saying it. (See bolded)

Don't forget the actual players to include here.

Just to think this one thru, I don't think it's about MOS playing favorites straight across the board (all positions O,D,ST) but is more he seems to have a very high regard for specific qualities/attributes (football and non football) of a human being (Jake Thomas as an example) that can influence certain decisions being made (e.g, playing time). So if this is true you would not see a max exodus of FA's but you may see a small percentage of players playing past their expiry date.

No way around this.

Now there's a man with a sense of humour not taking himself too seriously. Respect. We should have a ring of honour just for that especially in this day in age of look at me, like my video, follow me, hit on my bio so I can make gobs of money on things I don't even necessarily believe in.

oh misinterpreted the joke. Whoops. :)

Armchair QB certificate as a bonus?

I’m with on this for a variety of reasons one being we are trying to grow the league and attract new people to this game so coaches across the league should be helping by spicing it up adding some color into those default beige type scripted answers. Why not?

Thanks for planting that seed.

AND all time best QB football IQ imo.

If it’s even being considered what’s the plan if no Helle? Is our goalie pipeline good enough? Take from Peter to pay Paul is what I would be concerned about if we put Helle on the market just looking at it purely from a hockey talent point of view.

Oh good gawd yes please football gods please.

Okay need to modify my ongoing mantra for this team. I'll tweak 'Next year is our year' to 'Not next year or the year after that but the year after that (maybe) is our year'.
