Thing is, with the whole Russian thing, if, IF IF IF there is evidence to suggest that perhaps they did mess around with the election a wee bit, wouldn't people, regardless of who you preferred to win, want to know that they did? This isn't about Dems vs Republicans, this is about the possibility that another country basically screwed you over. Is that the point people are missing here? Yeah, maybe the Russians didn't do anything but WHAT IF they actually did influence the results significantly? Then what?

I think you can create stars pretty easily, I think the fans are dying to cheer for guys like, yeah i'm gonna say it... Sami Zayn is an example of a guy who has that IT factor to him, The problem is i think Vince and the writers don't really know what to do with these guys... you can have great wrestling matches all you want and i enjoy me a great wrestling match but to create a star, you need the machine to get behind you and push you. They were forced FORCED to push Bryan, fans wanted him for so long and they reluctantly finally pushed him and he became a star for sure, unfortunately had to retire or was forced to but... it just shows that if you actually listen to what the fans want and push the guys they want pushed, then stars can be created. The fans are rejecting a guy like Roman Reigns big time, but he's being shoved down our throats constantly, his booking has actually hurt him, he has potential or had let's say and i feel they have ruined him by shoving him down our throats making him kind of a 2016 version of the 1980's Hulk Hogan, People don't want that anymore, they want some reality behind the character, they like the under dog, the guy that perhaps gets ignored by the machine a bit, they don't care for the guy that the machine pushes. Scripted Promos are a big problem also, You think a writer could come up with Austin 316 says i just wooped your ass? Not a chance. Gotta let these guys go out there unfiltered to an extent and let them go off script if you will and see what happens, worst case scenario? some bomb big time, best case scenario, you find a guy that perhaps has some personality but just hasn't been able to express it yet because of the scripted promos and way they have been booked.

Well, If we are suggesting other options other than Nichols... a few pop in to my head... Keep in mind that with several of these guys, I'd probably sign Glenn to be a backup/starter for us so here goes James Franklin - obvious choice here really Rakeem Cato - Yeah i know, but... he's an option i suppose Jeremiah Masoli- didn't look awful playing for the Ticats actually Durant - I don't see it happening personally

Thought this could be an interesting little topic... finding out interesting fun facts about some of our future Jets players I'll start Eric Comries Dad owns the Brick and has a net worth of 415 million dollars.

1. Get rid of the challenging of plays away from the ball, like for example, you can't challenge pass interference on Dressler if the ball was thrown to smith on the other side of the field, has nothing to do with the play, That needs to stop. 2. Put a 60 second clock on the replay system, if in 60 seconds you can't determine if it's a penalty or not, the call on the field stands. That's about all I'd do. And maybe, just maybe, if you lose a challenge, not only do you lose a timeout but you also get a delay of game penalty and a 10 yard penalty on the play let's say. PI should be blatant also and obvious. None of this chincy stuff that they call some games and don't call other games. Other than that, Just leave it be...

maybe by a tiny amount if anything, i thought i heard like 50,000 or even less it goes up every year or something, maybe not tho but still... I guess, the point in all this, Nichols doesn't deserve to be paid anything close to what the real elite franchise QB's in this league make. If he wants 450,000 and he's willing to die on that hill, Then, i think, we need to perhaps accept the fact that Matt Nichols won't be a bomber next season and if it's because he wants 450,000 and the bombers don't want to give that to him, I'm fine with that.

That Network is going to be a gold mine for them, exclusive content for other countries, the fact that they are actually teaming up with independent promotions, It's crazy actually, i never would have thought that 5 years ago, you'd see the WWE ever really acknowledge that independent companies actually exist and now they are mentioning them by name and even promoting them. Some talk that some American Independents like the ultra fun PWG will have shows on the Network also.

Thing is, Since Nichols is a good system QB, if you pay him 450 000, who do you have to let go to give him that money? I mean, Darvin Adams is a free agent and so are several other important pieces on the team, I mean, let's just say they give Nichols his 450,000 (they won't) but assume they do, Where do you find the savings, who gets the axe? who are you forced to let go? Cuz it will be somebody for sure if not 2 or 3 guys.

Canucks got more problems than the coach. They need a legit rebuild but I'm not sure that the owner who meddles big time or the very bandwagon Vancouver fan base has the patience for it

Was probably Burke but perhaps accidentally. He's kind of gone in to seclusion hasn't he

It's an online message board so I don't think it's possible to put words in your mouth unless I email them to you

And the fact that he's a big family guy and winnipeg is actually the closest nhl city to his family in like grand forks

I'd say he's nhl ready. He'd be an upgrade on Postma easily. Plus he's from North Dakota so really... it's just a matter of finishing his season with his brother and he will sign

Montreal gave up a 1st for Adams. Nichols ain't starting there. Toronto gave up a 1st for Willy plus They have Ray still. Nope. Sask? Jones sent him packing once and doubt will pay him 450 K or close. . Nichols had a good year but he's not even close to being in that elite level. So shouldn't be paid like he is.

Nichols is not in the elite level like BLM Reilly Burris Colaros Jennings even. He's probably near the bottom in terms of starters. He's a good system QB tho. Say what you want about Lapo but he used Nichols to the best of his abilities.

The Return of the Mack.

Nice bit of info there Beyak is a great announcer but his veteran love and excuses for veterans is very Maurice like. The kids have been good Dennis. The vets have not.

Maybe Tucker Poolman takes that spot once he finishes at ND and signs immediately with the Jets Postma not so bad. It's Chiarot that sucks the life our of that pairing

The moose are using the Jets PK system. Lol @ Comrie with the loss. Comrie was pretty good and could say he stole a point

I'll bet Mo's job is somewhat on the line. I don't think it's guaranteed he's back next year. It's not a guarantee he's gone either but... if the team continues to suck on the PP PK take lazy penalties and he keeps messing with the lines every 2nd period.... he could be gone sooner rather than later. Jets have some legit systematic issues. I'll say it... Maurice is a decent coach for a team who is big physical and veteran heavy. I'm not sure that he's the best coach for a young skilled team

Lawless reported weeks weeeeeks ago that the Jets were shopping Burmi. The fact that it's now weeeeeeeeks later and he's still a jet suggests no interest so therefore you waive him.. if you lose him oh well His value is nothing... a wasted roster spot. I always thought that the first step in waiving Burmi would be shopping him around to zero interest. He's got zero interest. Next step... waivers

Can't tell if serious

You gotta send someone down regardless

That should last about 2 periods. Maurice needs to stop this crap and put Laine on LW where he belongs. Put Ehlers on his preferred right side. Put Dano on his preferred right side. Laine Scheif Ehlers (ehlers and Laine have huge chemistry, why keep them from each other) Perreault Little Wheeler ( a vet line) Bottom 6? Whatever. Just let Tanev be what he is and that's a high energy defensively strong 4th line winger. Putting him on the 3rd line is just not good or if you have to Tanev Lowry Dano

Right. 6 years of crap from pavelec is ok but not even 6 months of a 23 year old and it's time to throw him under the bus? Lol. Helles career average is still better than Pavelec. It's not helle that sucks... it's hutch. Hutch has been terrible. At least helle shows some consistency from time to time. I get it... you expected him to be Carey Price or something. .. he's not tho. Carey Price wasn't even Carey Price his first full year.... I think the problem really is... expectations for some reason were 2 high and I'm not sure why when all off season most of us were saying playoff bubble team when healthy. .. might or might not make it but will be close either way... You expect them to be contenders with rookie nhl goalie. .. rookie nhl Morrissey rookie 18 yr old Laine... under 20 sophomore ehlers? Lol. Nobody expected that.
