Lol at your certainty. A year is a long time and lots can change before he becomes a fa. Think back to this time last year and what the odds were that Durant would be in Montreal and Nichols the undisputed starter in Winnipeg right now.

Here's a crazy idea... since Franklin is still under contract with the Eskimos, maybe he stays there this season

It was a bit of a troll which is not my nature. More intended as a shot back at the never ending shots I have to read through just to find some football discussion sometimes

Hundreds of Muslim visa-holders detained at US airports, including 13 here in Seattle. Lots of airport protests, New York federal judge declares an injunction against the enforcement of some parts of the anti-Muslim executive order. My wife's out protesting right now, but told me not to come as I'm a green card holder and my legal ability to stay in this country can be revoked without a heck of a lot of due process. That's immigration law for you. **** is getting real. I just signed up for a monthly donation to the ACLU. People were earlier talking about the lies of Donald Trump, how ridiculous they are etc. The most interesting thing I've read about that is that these things are not meant to be true .. they are things that need to be believed in order to set the stage for the next move. The 3-5MM illegal votes is a great example of this. It's laughable, there's no proof, and if HRC picked up five million illegal votes the exit polls would have shown it. It looks like an ego thing for Trump, him raging about losing the popular vote, but my money is that his people are laying the rhetorical groundwork for more voter suppression. Lots more voter suppression. They could take the Texas model nationwide -- in Texas right now, you can be arrested for running a voter registration operation. Listen for people repeating that "3-5 million illegal votes" number, trying to make it take root.

4 cups

Here is an article on Darling for a more balanced perspective. http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/after-overcoming-his-demons-scott-darling-wants-to-make-his-mark-on-the-nhl

Classy

Anyone else think the skills competition is stupid?

Makes 2 sets of fans then.

How long could the hype sit in the cup before it evaporated? Would there be any left in 26 years I wonder? Just curious what you thought.

I don't put water in mine. Just koolaid and rum

kind of an interesting look into what Lapo's working on right now ... http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/01/27/looking-deeper-o-analysis/

Don Cherry savaging the ASG and he's completely correct. No effort.

What will this do to their tourism industry? Go to the States with the possibility of being denied entry when you don't want them snooping in your cell phone.

The chat is what sets this place apart from other sites. It would be a loss if it was taken away. My opinion anyway.

The Commentary made it drag even more than it did. It's interesting to me how they pretty much ignored talking about Laine. I also think the shootout was ruined. I'd rather see all of them not just 2 divisions... the only guy who seemingly tried to entertain was Brent Burns. Only guy who tried something different in the shootout. It almost seems like you aren't allowed to have personality in the Nhl. I get them hyping mcdavid and Crosby but man they lack personality. The Auston Matthews love affair from cbc/sportsnet was at times nauseating but not surprising. Again tho very little personality. I also think it's obvious that the guys don't try at all. I'll just add... I hate Ryan Kesler... he's such a ****** but the crowd booing and him blowing kisses... man the guy Is such a good heel.

My guess is that's exactly what his tweet to warren moon was about, and why he hasn't re-signed in Edmonton yet.

Maybe Edmonton is ready to move on from Reilly for 2018. He's showing pretty significant signs of wear.

Perhaps Franklin attempts an NFL shot? Can't be as bad as some of those bums.

From the WFP: The Trudeau government has received assurances that Canadian passport holders will not be caught up in an American travel ban that has barred citizens of seven countries from entering the United States. An email from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office late Saturday said the U.S. has given assurances that Canadians with dual citizenship will not be turned away at the border. "We have been assured that Canadian citizens travelling on Canadian passports will be dealt with in the usual process," said the email from Kate Purchase, Trudeau's director of communications. Earlier the U.S. State Department said Canadians with dual citizenship from Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Libya would be denied entry for the next three months along with citizens from those countries. But Purchase's email said Trudeau's National Security Adviser Daniel Jean and other officials were in contact with their American counterparts, including Trump's National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. "NSA Flynn confirmed that holders of Canadian passports, including dual citizens, will not be affected by the ban," Purchase said. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/travel/canadian-airline-issues-statement-in-response-to-us-ban-on-7-muslims-countries--412047973.html

No one is talking about the goalie coaches where they've had tons of success in goal? Shocking!

Actually darling would be a goalie I'd consider bringing in. He will want a shot st being a starter. He's also gigantic and a solid goalie.

and on October 19th, 2015, any hope of Canada ever running a budget surplus for the next four years died.

But you gotta add those cups over 100 years so it's gonna take a while

The Riders have Jones for GM and HC...so no the Riders are worse. The Argos still have hope for the unknown. Players are climbing over one another to get out of Saskatchewan.

We won in Chicago because Helle outgoalied Darling which was a very positive sign. 38/4 1 is a .927 sv % which is above league average - bottom line. One was fairly soft, but it was a 2 on 1 off a turnover and goals get scored when that happens. And what is this about there weren't many quality chances? Of course there were. Toews breakaway, the total onslaughts around the crease where they'd bang away on us for 20 seconds, 4 penalties. Helle outgoalied Darling, but Helle just needs more consistency. This happens all the time with goalies and he's on the right track. I don't think his breakout year will be until 2018/2019 but that's very normal for goalies. Darling is a UFA at the end of the year and with all the goalie movement this offseason I think he is someone that that Jets should take a serious look at to anchor Helle. 6'6 with a good sv % and some good experience now. Only problem is someone might pay him more to legitimately start.

I'm starting to think TBURGESS isn't actually Tom Burgess at all

there are probably around twenty people using it. don't think many of them are voting. Please keep it, it's a lot of fun.

I've used it a couple of times, but I'd rather just watch the game then read a thread after the fact.

If it's cheaper....then do 'er. I think there's probably about 20 of us that are regulars....every game....in the chat. On a good day? Like say early in the season...I think we do like 30 or 40 in there sometimes. It's usually a lot of fun...

This is one of the most insane statements I've ever seen on this board. Wow. I'm not sure I'd trade the #1 for anyone outside of BLM and even then...... Other than lose his job to Shitty Burris, what the hell has Harris done??

Can anyone tell me who has had a perfect draft and had made no mistakes. Its the draft every pick is not going to work out.
