What would you realistically trade for 4th overall and who would you pick?
Which is exactly my point.

If I'm the Oilers, I'm taking that deal as fast as I can. If I'm the Islanders, I'm taking that deal as fast as I can.

Like I've said before, now that my man Buff has been secured, I'm hoping on the Myers train. No way we trade him for a 4th pick, we secure him, he's part of our core, he's a special player with a unique skill set that's still evolving.

Largest Fire Evacuation in Alberta's History underway in Fort McMurray
Fanaticism when it comes to anything makes things very scary. Stop the world now, I want off is feeling I get at times with all this deep seeded hate, division and narcissism.

Ring of honour, love it. The stadium won't be big enough.

Carlyle would look good in Ottawa if they don't land BB.

I know what you're saying but wow we sure do need to redefine what a 'celebrity' is.

2016 Lines
It just seems over the last while more and more 18 to 20 year olds are able to make the starting lineups, stick and excel than we've ever seen before. Probably a combination of good and bad reasons to explain this.

Something about Crawford rubs me the wrong way. He's got that Dallas Eakins 'look at me' approach to coaching. It's been nice without him in the league. I hope Toronto hires him, they deserve one another.

No to trading Myers.

End of Season Report Card
As a pure non-oiler fan, ummm no. I wouldn't give the farm up, but would definitely part way with a few cows, chickens and a goat to land him.

Yea maybe. I'm also thinking a team like Edmonton that's desperate for a leader.

League approves 10 of 11 rule proposals
Don't know I'd have to check the CFL archives which I'm not going to do. And my guess it's not an issue of bemoaning, It's not even really an issue. It's more I would guess that location has come up now and then and is there anything the league could do with it to improve the game. Just like any other proposal, simply a discussion and not a solution looking for a problem. For the record I'm not supporting any idea of moving in and out goalposts no way no how. However, thinking that moving the goal posts stationary to the back of the end zone would ruin the game's excitement of last minute point getting is a bit exaggerated. For example, one of the many things I like about the CFL is the last 3 minutes of each half that allows teams more time to get themselves into scoring position that makes virtually no lead safe. Having the goal posts in the back of the end zone would definitely make field goals more challenging but I could also suggest based on my observations that over time (with no stats to support) place kickers are more athletic, stronger and accurate than ever before. It's fun to discuss these things knowing a lot of this will go nowhere other than a discussion.

Probably more than you think, i.e., how it can influence a play without a player actually running into it. Yes like the refs but that reasoning doesn't negate it's impact.

Sooner rather than later we will be debating whether we actually need on field officiating making calls. With technology ever evolving, we're probably at the stage, or close to, where a game could be officiated and managed behind a key board and monitor. Not a great cup of tea to digest for sport enthusiasts who believe real-time human subjectivity is part of the game.

Most overused and very often times misinterpreted term. For some, their disdain for being 'politically correct' is the fact they get called on saying really stupid misguided hurftul untrue unfunny things. One of the best ways I've seen how this point is driven home is how would one define politically correct in a non politically correct way?

Not condoning what they do like things like battery throwing, but if they boo the big man, that's funny sh@t.

2016 Draft Standings
Obviously I want the pick for the Jets, but it would be so so awesome if the Oilers got it again so I can enjoy my sarcasm with my diehard Oiler friends and watch the Leaf Brass see their 'perfect tank' evaporate.
