  1. interesting yes, although in the CFL I don't necessarily want to hear. If it's the NHL/NBA/MLB/NFL then sure, even if it make them look bad, they're getting paid well enough to deal with the publicity stuff. In the CFL I think they deserve a bit more of their privacy. If I get fired from my job, the reason is between me and my company, and I make more than some CFL players. So I'm ok with respecting players privacy.
  2. stupid penalties outweigh his talent. Good player, but I don't miss him.
  3. apparently my point wasn't clear. He said they have some responsibility not to be because they play football, implying the rest of us don't, which obviously we all should be expected to not be rapists and wife beaters
  4. So I have no responsibility to not be a rapist wife beater? Awesome
  5. the league also said they won't approve any contract if someone else tries to sign him. So he's been blackballed without any due process
  6. It wasn't that long ago many here were complaining about us using taking multiple receivers in this last draft.....
  7. It can be tough to find the middle ground between what's going to be a decent discussion, and what's a waste of time. I do find that almost anytime I open a thread and wonder why does this thread exist, that yes it's opened by BigBlue. On the flip side, I tend to come on to see what's being discussed, and not starting discussion myself. It may come down to visiting habits. I find when I have time to check daily, new small threads tend to be an annoyance because I'm caught up on everything in the big threads. When I can't get on daily and I come on after a week 20 new pages in a big thread can seem daunting and I'd prefer there were more specific threads so I could decide what to get caught up on. With that said, I'll read the content regardless of format. I get liberal with the block button for the people whose thoughts I don't want (and sometimes that ends up in an entire page being redacted. My guess would be the casual readers prefer smaller threads, and the every day guys prefer the big threads.
  8. Maybe I'm a ****, but you put your sons long term health at risk by not deciding his health mattered more than football and picking a treatment option that was better for football than for his health.
  9. Are you implying he might play for another team? If he's healthy enough to play he's way too good to not have a place for him. Or are you implying he won't be healthy enough to play or play like has has in the past?
  10. I think it's ok to be happy with Montreals' QB situation. How many times did we run into Calvillo in the playoffs
  11. the PLOP formula is required yards/2 = play call yards. So when we need 8 he'll actually call a 4 yard play not a 6 yard play.
  12. didn't bond tweet something like he wasn't going anywhere to play tackle?
  13. I'm assuming you meant to say there isn't a test to show CTE when you're still alive. I'm not sure of where it sits exactly, but they detected CTE in a living person for the first time 2-3 months ago (confirmed after his death unfortunately). The study was in the Journal of neuroscience at the end of November I think, from the doctor who first discovered CTE (the guy Will Smith played in the movie). So really there's a lot of work to still do to have a verified reliable way to confirm in the living, but they're making progress with the testing.
  14. I've had employees leave for a variety of reasons. One decided she wanted to go to Denmark. She was one of my best employees. One of my current best is considering a change. I told them both the same thing. If you're going to be happier in a different situation, from a professional standpoint I hate to lose you, but from a personal standpoint I'm happy for you and wish you luck. So if he can't work it out with the Argo's, I can't fault him for choosing the situation that's better for him or his family, even though it sucks to lose him from the league.
  15. quick trademark search shows WWE abandoned the trademark on it in 2003. In December 2017 Alpha trademarked it. http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4810:jagwo7.2.2
  16. I'm torn on who you spend the money on. Randle has been phenomenal since we got him from Calgary. I can't imagine the secondary without him. The O-line really came together when Bond got into the lineup. They've both been incredibly important to where the team is. My gut says if we could only keep 1, I'd keep Randle. With that said, it's been so nice to have an elite O-line after years of watching our QB's get wrecked. We don't have the depth to compete if Nichols goes down. Randle/Leggett in my eyes have been the critical pieces of our D. The D line has rotated lots, we rely on those two in the secondary every down. I don't want to think about starting the season with Leggett still injured and Randle on another team. But I have to say, man it's a nice change to say the Bombers have enough elite players to worry about who we can afford to keep, versus thinking about who we can afford to pry away from another team because our cupboard is bare.
  17. I don't recall his first game, but Ricky Ray had a pretty successful first season as well from what I recall.
  18. I don't remember a bomber victory in a grey cup either. So my fondest memory of a grey cup has to be "too many men on the field" 2009
  19. I assume you're only referring to import receivers?
  20. Not relevant to game day, but went to the Jets game in Vegas last night. More Jets jerseys than golden knights jerseys, and one assclown in a riders Jersey. They're like cockroaches. Screw Rider fans. That sentiment is always relevant
  21. they changed the all star selection this year, at linebacker they made it 2 linebackers and 1 cover linebacker, which is where I assume Leggett would be if he was nominated
  22. I was frustrated last game........but it had nothing to do with this site
  23. Either Winnipeg or Edmonton Hosts it Winnipeg Win or Edmoonton Loss - Winnipeg Winnipeg loss and Edmonton Win - Edmonton
