I didn't realize how badly I wanted Mike Sellers as a Bombers assistant coach until just now....

I'm not sure why this surprises me anymore, but I continue to be fascinated by the depths of Trump's oversized ego and at the same time his massive insecurity and inferiority complex. Doesn't really care about Twitter spam or cleaning up bots, just hates the bottom line that he is visibly losing followers - that is, his numbers aren't as big as he needs them to be in his mind (likely to boast -"most followers ever"). Just like his lies about his inauguration crowd size, rally crowd sizes, and his actual wealth (as others touched upon, his fear of being a "false billionaire"). Boy did he pick the ultimate wrong job if he was worried about his public perception and popularity. I'd like to think he had enough common sense to know that "politician" is an inherently untrusted and loathed occupation and could see what he was getting into (then again, his concept of a "real lawyer" is someone who never takes notes, so maybe he has no clue). Even the best politicians are going to get slagged by the media or some portion of the population just because that's what we do with our politicians and our own partisan views. Most amazing to me is how 65 million Americans did not see this glaring frailty and still seek to protect him.

Truth is truth...

My drinking game is taking a shot every time Goalie posts a variation on "55 and 26 selfish, need to be split up/traded, coach is a disaster, fire him immediately or our window is closed". My liver is currently the size of the Jumbotron at Bell MTS Place. Do or Die and his gin is now considered "lightweight" at my current pace.

No love for Leon Draisaitl?

Plus 3 1 series lead.

I wouldn't cheer for any other Canadian team and I wouldn't expect their fans to cheer for the Jets. I feel absolutely no relationship to any of them.

I don't care what the penalty was, if you give up 4 goals on a 5 min major, you deserve to lose. That should be virtually impossible to do...

Jims been on another Bender.

Pretty reasonable to let the trading partner talk with Trouba's camp and have a contract in hand once he's traded.... similar to Mark Stone trade

Yeah, I'm not sure we're trading a top-pairing defenseman at the trade deadline as we're prepping for a playoff run.

Band-aid also

I really don't think our roster is full of choir boys....and I'm more than happy with the current MO of trying to find great character that is also a great ball player. They're not mutually exclusive things...

We're a championship level forum!

I'd prefer we didn't stand tried and true to this impeccable character thing..no issues past or present and actually employed some guys who walked on the edge or at times can be viewed as for a lack of a better term an assclown...because when you look at all championship teams they all have guys who are pricks..have issues...are dirty and stradle the line of common sense at times....the 5 years of having choir boys all throughout the club has won us nothing

what you may find even more interesting is that while he's not under contract, he's been on our negotiation list for quite some time.

Konar was a guy who got paid in FA a couple years ago and I remember thinking "why???"

Unlucky Whitehead

Forget the redacted portions of the Mueller report, This is where the smocking gun might lie...

One might argue, that since he's not a career politician, he would be more sensitive to criticism, having not built up a certain amount of resistance over his career. However, this is Donald Trump, the man is too ignorant, pathetic, and has bullied his way into the public eye for so long, it doesn't hold weight. His grifting and racism have been on full display for almost his entire life and he loves being the centre of attention. His ego, on the other hand, is so fragile, it's weakness.

Shocker.. Hour 2 Corbin wins triple threat. Hour 3 hes main eventing.

“First day, doing one-on-ones since the AAF, I felt good. The body feels healthy. I’m still trying to learn this new waggle system and moving before the ball is snapped, but it’s definitely a receiver-quarterback kind of game. I love the attitude and passion that the head coach and the OC have. I’m that kind of guy.” - Drew Morgan

Nah. Just you. I suggest you look inward before spewing your crummy judgement at others. Oh, and BTW: the Jets made playoffs in Maurice's first full season here (2014-15). It continues to amaze me how often you get things wrong regarding the Jets while continuing to act like an insufferable know-it-all.

We already have Drew Wolitarsky. We could sign Drew Morgan and draft Drew Desjarlais. Then if it came down to it, we could out-Drew anybody..🤓 😜 🙃

Yeah- that is bullshit, teaching is hard work at any level. Every tier has its own set of challenges.

Edmonton isn't a one line team... its a one player team.

Wow this is a story https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebombers/bombers-mini-camp-miracle-boy-rios-fought-way-back-from-deadly-disease-to-play-pro-football?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

I gotta say this: every time I see the title on this thread, I instantly recall a song from "The Life Of Brian" movie.

Heres mine... Trouba plus Little or Perreault to Carolina for Pesce (Trouba replacement) Necas (future 2 center) and a 1st. I think if ahh when Trouba is dealt.. Draft day... A 2019 1st is coming back

Why? At the trade deadline trouba would get a 1st plus A prospect... Hes gonna get more now.

🤮

Its too early in the day to get this hammered...

https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/04/24/pitts-williams-inducted-canadian-football-hall-fame/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Good stuff....David Williams, who was part of that amazing 1993 team with Dunigan, and Ernie Pitts, who somehow wasn't already in the HOF, despite being an All Star about 6 or 7 times, at two different positions...

Because it's worth watching. That was not a 5 minute penalty but as others have said you don't give up 4 goals. I'm not sure if the Jets are that bad.

Screw Vegas... I'm glad they are out. After Toronto and Nashville also losing... the early exit stings a bit less for me.

VGK scores with 47s left to tie SJS. Overtime!

Wonder how many people actually watch in different ways other than traditional tv. It would seem like their audience would be made up of a lot of cord cutters.

I think he's Tanev's replacement.

Having 2 separate brands doesn't work. Fans want to see the best talent in the ring on both shows. Same as on tv. Have 2 separate shows but have the best wrestlers on the WWE roster appear on both Raw & Smackdown.

Once trouba is gone the locker room problems are gone - that’s my bet his Dad probably showed up as soon as buff was injured ha

Based on? His points and effort? Being made captain? I think we look for easy answers. I don’t buy locker room issues.

CNN included her photo. It’s not a spoiler after the show airs. If I made a new thread that said “Arya Sex scene” you could at least say I was less then considerate. But posting about a tv show that already aired on the tv thread? Sorry, not an issue. And even then I still have nothing away about the plot. Onus is on the person choosing to watch later to avoid spoilers. We don’t all have to keep it quiet until the last person watches.

I don't enjoy audio/video content...always prefer to read.....but having said that, this is a really good interview with Scianetti on TSN Radio Edmonton: https://www.tsn.ca/radio/edmonton-1260/audio/scianitti-i-don-t-think-there-s-a-cause-for-concern-yet-1.1292728

Rian Johnson is simply a self important douchenozzle. Guy thinks he's better than doing what everyone expects, but if you're making Star Wars the point is that you gotta give the fans what they want. You want to go subvert expectations go make your own movie and don't **** all over beloved characters and movies.

Trade Trouba, let Myers go to free agency. Time for some of the kids to step up, Niku, Samberg, Stanley. I don't know what Buff was smoking the last two games, but he was just not there mentally. Watching him slide helplessly out of the play haplessly trying to defend a two on one on the third goal reminded me of watching my nephew's bantam team. Just not good enough, but Buff is an enigma. I don't know what to do there. Sign Connor and Laine to long term contracts. Those two guys are our future. I was pretty frustrated with Laine during the season, but in the playoffs he was one of the few guys who showed up and played hard. He's a guy that can take the playoff pounding, and give as good as he gets. Ehlers - I think I am done with that guy. Won't cry if he gets traded in a package with Trouba. Two playoffs now show how ineffective a little guy like him is in the playoffs. He can get us there, but he won't produce in the rough and tumble. Reminds me of the Sedins that way. Hellebuyck - redeemed himself for Game 2. I am good with him. Wheeler - I really am starting to not like that guy very much. I don't know totally why. I just don't see him as a leader. He seems to be getting Andrew Ladd syndrome - believing his own BS. I won't cry if he gets traded. Random thoughts...

I like the play off format, but I'd like to see a shorter season.

Trouba goes. Connor worries me cuz away from 55 and 26 hes not great and even with them for most the year.. Hes somewhat overrated. Still young but certainly not 20 years old like.. Laine.. Why do u bridge him? That's dumb.. Hes 20. Hes scored 30 again. 60 points roughly is a bad year? Becoming a more rounded player better in the D zone and using his body is a bad year? Ppl **** on Laine because their expectations for a 20 yr old are ridiculous. Connor was a Moose. Or in College at. 20. Scheifs 1st full year at 20. The expectations for a 20 yr old is just so mind boggling. Ppl love 23 yr old Connor playing 75 percent of the season with the guys with the most minutes by far... Getting 8 9 more points than the 20 yr old playing 15 minutes a night? WTF. I bridge Connor cuz hes close to the finished product... I long term Laine cuz hes 20 ffs and in 3 years will be better than Connor at the same age Connor is now. Late bday, hes 3 years older than Laine. Trouba goes for sure.. Detroit finishing 6th at the draft lottery is interesting.. Perhaps Jets like a D or Center at 6 and can move Jake home. Detroit likely adds tho. Maybe Hronek or Cholowski even. Dunno. But ya hes gone and not worth 8 million.
