It's exactly about "role models": for young people struggling with revealing their sexuality. It provides the example that look, a successful gay athlete/actor/etc, "maybe that could be me. You just don't get it at all.

I don't even know where to start given the level of ignorance demonstrated by that line. UP is right, you should just STFU.

You know what drives me up the F'n wall is when people say "I shut the game off, I couldn't watch anymore" How pathetic a fan to not even watch the game. I never miss a second of a Rider game no matter what the score is, period.. no exceptions. If I can't be home or something important has me away, I tape it and watch every second as soon as I can. Oh look, it's SuperFan. I've been a fan for over 30 yrs, sometimes you have to look away from a trainwreck. You know what drives me up the F'n wall? People who think "their" level of being a fan is better than anyone elses. GFY.

Petan will be a better Frolik than Frolik.

What does Burmi bring? He is not a scorer and not a great passer.He is strong on his skates but is not overly physical just like Goalie stated he is an East to West player.JC is a fireplug agitator type player.Petan has great vision and skills.Based on the preseason I don't see how you justify starting Burmi ahead of these guys.But it will probably come down to who they could lose if waived.Burmi better get his ass in gear when the bullets fly though cause Maurice won't put up with his crap. Burmi played the last 2 yrs in the KHL, as a defensive forward. That's the side of his game Mo likes. I bet he'll be fine in that role.

I watched Petan at the World Juniors (where he did well), in the playoffs against Kelowna (where he was the best player on the ice by far), and in Penticton (where he dogged it big time). I agree he's good with the puck, but how's his defence? I also think he's a bit small for the NHL (yeah I've heard of Johnny Hockey and Tyler Johnson). I honestly thought he'd need a year in the AHL to adjust to the bigs. But that being said, if he's ready to make the jump, and can contribute, then great. The Jets need more skill. They'll need size too to compete in their division, and with Burmi, Perrault and Petan, they are a lot smaller. They're replacing Stemp and Tlutsy. Not much dif in size, but a lot in skill. (Copp/Petan)

Relevant?

The rebound machine coughs up 3 in the 3rd. Keeps that **** up he might be gone sooner than later.

Coaches, players, fans? DUH!

Arguments?

Kudos to his agent for being savvy enough to use social media to get his client what he wants. You'll no doubt be seeing more of these types of tactics in the future. Glad Simmons is in our line-up for sure. How're you going to like it when it's one of our players? Kudos?? That's irrelevant. It's going to happen regardless. Agents will all eventually see that social media can be another tool, in the tool-box of negotiation. And yeah kudos, because the guy did his job and represented his client to the best of his abilities, and got him what he wanted. Which was out of Calgary and on to a team where he would play. Football is a business, and self-interest works the same way it does in any other business.

Looking at this thread in late August, no-ones got it right yet in terms of roster even....

Because you're a fan and I hate you!!!!!!!! Are you 12?

Yeah, Tino had a great game tonight.LMAO

Case in point, I pull into the Mr. Mike's in Chilliwack at 5:30 pm yesterday (7:30 pm Winnipeg time) to watch a bit of the game on the way home to Kelowna from Vancouver, and they have the stinking Blue Jay game on in the lounge. So then I say "can you change it to the Lion's game please?" and the staff all look at me stunned, in that they not only don't know there is a game on, but have no clue who the Lions are. Finally, they changed over a few TV's to TSN, (after I had to explain that I wanted the "CFL football" option that was coming up on the guide), to the complaints of some old fogies who were watching the Jays, to which I told them to stick it, as they still had plenty of TV's to watch their precious Jays. Anyway, BC sucks. That's my point. Click the ling for a laugh! :-)

No he wouldn't. Even had he remained healthy. Gretzky: Most Professional Goals in a Career (1,072) Most Assists in a Career (1,963) His career assists top every-ones career point records. These will stand probably forever. And talking about ANYONE being able to surpass them is pretty much a moot point. Here’s a stat to put Wayne’s 163 assists — which came in the 1985-86 season — into perspective: the player who finished that year second in points, the Penguins’ Mario Lemieux, recorded 141 points.

Blowout?? for who??? Here is a scenario where in the Bombers lose tonight - The Lions show up! Sorry dude but across the board - offense and defense, special teams etc. Lions are better! I would be happy just to see the Bombers keep it close. How'd that work out for you?

Nick Moore LMAO - nice answer. But sorry boys - Edm's strength is their Defence, and they have no weakness. They have ferocious pass rushers, outstanding LB's (led by McCoil and Sherrit) and a very solid secondary. I guess if there is one weakness it's Muamba at Safety. But, last year - Drew Willy was absolutely terrible here and thankfully got hurt on a safety sack (just for the rest of that game) or it would have been really ugly. Last year the Esks outscored the bombers 67 to 12. That's pathetic. Are the bombers better this year? Yes Are the Esks better? Don't know - luckily for us the Esks have Nichols as a starter - but our defense can make Nichols look like Warren Moon easy (they usually do make 2nd and 3rd string QB's in Edmonton look like all stars - especially games in Commonwealth). I'll be at the game, will most likely leave early in the fourth quarter when the score is 45 to 3 to Edmonton - and I'll get more Kal Tire $100 coupons - so there's always that. Bombers always play like **** here and I see no hope for a pattern change. BTW - headline in the Journal today - "Bombers have been Eskimos' Pinata" - how apt. You need to stop smoking that stuff.

is 17 as cranky in person as he is on this site? wish I could change my pick. I think Wpg will win. Well he used to be pretty cranky all the time, but now that he's getting laid, he's more of a neutered puss..... That must cost a fortune ;-)
