https://jaysjournal.com/2018/02/22/blue-jays-sad-story-brett-lawrie/ an interesting read on former jay brett lawrie. Had soo much hope for the guy, loved the way he played even after he was dealt. Its confusing, sad and worrying what he is going through. to me it sounds like a mental issue, but we cant know what another person feels. I would love to see him get back on track, be happy healthy and productive again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Arena_Football_League_season Not yet, but it sounds like it could be very near. 17 stats are interesting. 3 of the 5 teams had a win % under .400. attendance average around 10k. They went from having AFL 2 a minor league system. To not running, and the minor league running. To in 2014 having 14 AFL teams, down to 5.

Khabib makes the LW rankings and title even more murky. We have a linear champion, an interim champ who was stripped on very low notice /poor reasons, and another now who beat the 11th ranked guy in the division. Some how despite a boxing background from white he has recreated one of the biggest problems in boxing (and an easily avoided one at that) rankings and belts that mean nothing. We now have a WBA WBO and WBC LW champ now we just need another fake belt for the IBF. Thug rose only solidified her reign with a UD win over JJ. Ufc lost big time this weekend. This was supposed to be a huge event and ended up more of a whimper. They gotta get back to business as usual soon with the biggest draws fighting relevant fights rather then hyped up super fights that lead to nothing. But with the current state of things now, I fear we will only see them go further down the rabbit hole. prepare for brock vs the winner of stipe/dc, gsp vs silva (or some other none WW champ) diaz vs mcg and all the cm punk you can handle.

The bald one put it out there that brock might get the winner of DC miocic. Kinda makes me ill that he'd skip to that. On the other hand if miocic beats both he'd make a TON of money. I can see him jumping lewis, even though lewis should be more of a focus from the ufc. But if blaydes beats reem no way he should jump over blaydes. And shouldnt jump volkov too. Im fine with brock fighting the sea of washed up gate keeper types, and guys he fought in the past. But a title shot? gimmie a break. Even some one whose lost a bit of steam like lewis or ngannou is fine.

Imo out of the back field type plays any back should be able to make. I dont expect more of him in that department then any back. Is he an andrew harris/blink type constant threat and pivotal piece as a pass catcher? doubt it. But with harris you dont need that when working both in at the same time. Im more concerned with us actually making good use of 2 backs and multiple looks. some read option stuff. We cant use the X factor stuff as a gimmick forever. at some point we have to be able to mix it fluidly both between multiple backs and between that and passing down field.

reeling after one of the biggest blunders of a week in ufc history.

This is what i thought right away. i wish they had. Just wait for khabib to fight some one reasonable. it seems the UFC intend to honor iaquinta and treat him as the LW champ should he win. UFC 2manyshenanigans. The original card was one worth paying and going out to see or hosting a night in. the card now, is only worth stealing because of a khabib sighting and the JJ thug rose rematch. I anticipate PPV sales of -3 + about 300k russians.

after bringing home demski

its denial lol

If the reports are true, his lobbed dolly caused chiesas wounds and a broken knuckle on some one else. dude is in trouble.

The ufc sure is taking a beating with this, jon jones and USADA. How does a guy have such ants in his pants to fight with out a title defense and whose last fight was a sham boxing match for cash? I could see it being some thing to get out of his current contract. But to raise ppv sales i really dont think so. all this junk is pushing mma back down and away from casual fans. Mcg doent need any thing to sell a fight other then to participate in a match. He has a ton of potential huge money fights at his feet, floyd in mma, diaz grudge match, gsp, holloway, aldo 2, khabib all could break the ufc ppv record. I fully believe if they held a ufc ppv event in a soccer stadium in ireland they could shatter every fight attendance record. He and they dont need this crap.

The O is very interesting. Weve added soo much in terms of weapons and QB depth. Bond was a monster though. Either our offense is gonna flourish to new heights or bond should have been an mop candidate.

he gone. Dana reported that a warrant has been issued for mcgs arrest. I feel like its as much about him being stripped again. Showing up dana is a bad move. Imagine the shift in pro mma if dana and mcg have a permanent falling out and he goes to bellator for serious money. Its about time they seriously stopped all the childish crap that goes on in the lead up to a fight. It was only a mater of time till things really escalated again.

0: Ra dickeys son is canadian? thats pretty neat. even though i loathe that RA dickey deal soo much. hes a tricky dickey.

Better more diverse group of weapons on offense. Worlds better at the back up qb position. On O the only loss is bond. Thats gonna be big. Should be better on offense though. On D the dumping of hurl, going with the best DL group from last year while maintaining strong depth with death roe. I like what we have started with the dbs, and ill take fenner over heath. Personal wise, we should be slightly better on both sides of the ball. With the potential to be a lot better on offense if we fill bonds spot well. More aggressive play calling/coverage and use full blitz packages with no hurl and we have potential to be a lot better on D too. If medlock plays more like his first year here rather then last year as well. All that plus another year of continuity and chemistry. The question is how much better will be with respect to how the rest of the league is improving.

its a good year for us jays fans... the watch some minor league ball. /waits

foreman sounds like our prototypical db. a fogg clone. Speed to burn, made a bunch of plays but has some questions. lot of pass KDs, love seeing that.

Speed and tburgess nailed it pretty well. people hate prevent defense. playing give up defense near the end of games to try and win is brutal. If they over hauled the games abit to make them less gimmicky offensive mashings, and focused on second tier cities and lower I bet theyd do a whole lot better.

Brain ortega came out and said he offered to fight khabib on short notice. Damn I wish they had gone with that instead of holloway.

mhm. very much the situation i could see. itll be interesting to see.

This is in part a good point. I think it needs to be clarified that its the NFL that is declining. Its of course not in any danger. But i feel the ncaa and hs levels are steady as she goes. A start up league could have a better chance now then ever at carving out a living as a sub nfl level league. The nfl has lost market share, that means more is available. That said the chances of actually capitalizing on that is exceedingly slim. The NFL is a financial institute. Its monetary entertainment. The room for growth is in cultural institutes like the CFL. The amount of CFL you can sell to americans with out a team is pretty limited though. If they brought back some thing like the USFL, and planted it in smaller US markets that dont have a chance at a NFL franchise they could build some thing. But getting the money, and tv deals with that is very hard. two fledgling start up leagues also pretty much ensures they will fail. UFC on fox isnt a good measuring stick, especially last year. The ufc has done a worse and worse job of putting decent shows on for ufc on fox. The last year and a half has been worse yet compounded by the amount of money fights, championship/star turn over, and scandal. Soccer is here to stay, and gigantic with kids. But I think youd have a better chance of opening up two successful nfl alternative pro football leagues in the us then of getting soccer into the top 4 pro sports in the us.

Maybe. I could see him being an assistant to hall though.

Yeah doesnt seem like its a joke... i keep hoping it is. Brett Okamoto ✔@bokamotoESPN I'm told the injury to Tony Ferguson was literally caused by a trip. The freak accident of all freak accidents. He was walking, saw someone he wasn't expecting to see, veered sharply to say hello and tripped. .......

Imo unless you have a system changing ratio breaker at another position OL is the way to go for a team like mtl. Best case scenario, trade down for multiple picks. But its mtl. They are in full on joe mack mode, do what ever they want.

On pure guessing power I would suspect they are either hurt, or NI paper work problems and possible supp draft guys. Or they arent interesting in pursuing football. Loiselle looks to have had another injury riddled year. Still 28 tackles 6.5 tfl. He was on the the combine list, but didnt seem to be in attendance. He did attend his teams pro day however. https://www.wagnerathletics.com/news/2018/3/28/football-wagner-pro-day-recap.aspx http://3downnation.com/2018/03/01/cfl-releases-national-combine-list/ https://www.wagnerathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=8707 See in the pro day stuff that they are saying loiselle will be in attendance at the cfl combine and is a top prospect here, but it was two days after the combine ended up here. Maybe they didnt understand when it was? Also saw some thing about him being in their finance department at wagner in cryptocurency. It looks like brayden lenius left the program to transfer, didnt seem to get a lot of usage in 17.
