  1. until he signs a deal i dont think it does much. Plus I dont think there is enough leverage in the world to get nichols elite QB money this year. Hank seems to want to start, no surprise. http://www.cfl.ca/2017/01/13/report-burris-decision-could-hinge-on-starting-role/
  2. certainly boom or bust. Itd either be 5k 30 tds 10 picks type of line or out the door. take away hanks GC and his regular season was very 40 esq. Id say they are both in a similar tier. But im skewed against hank.
  3. No kidding. I wonder what they have planned if he signs. Werent they previously asking a fortune for him this off season?
  4. Yeah id say 80% chance nichols is back. 95 if durant signs with montreal now. Bold list. Ray soo high is interesting. As a back up i could see it but man i would be worried if he went into the season as the starter.
  5. Burris in terms of quality, maybe. Burris the head case I dont think would fit in. And cant stand. Franklin starting would be about as worry some to me as davis.
  6. please please please please let them revert these awful PI calls. Speed up the review process. If they do that, and dont do any thing too crazy it would be great. They have changed the game soo much in the past fist full of years it would be really nice to just have some small changes and tweaks. rather then whole sale change.
  7. Maul was an instrument for sidious and plagueis. Sidious was actually pretty disdainful of most of the "lesser" alien races. Maul was a great natural talent and physical specimen because sidious got him pretty much as a baby and raised him for that purpose. He was never an actual candidate for sidious to keep as an apprentice. Vaders connection to the force was kind of funny. Due to the amount of tech that replaced and propped up his body he was prematurely peaked in terms of power. Also not all sith force users have an affinity for dark side magic. The sith had several areas of study and anakin/vader was more in the Bane line of pursuit. Vader and sidious were also contemptuous for each other. With vader making plans to over throw sidious and sidous saddling vader with bureaucrats etc. I dont think there is any chance snoke is vader. I really doubt it would be any one from the original trilogy. Even from the EU. I expect itll be more of an alluded to dark force off in uncharted distant regions of space. If it is some one from the EU or OT, i would be pretty thrilled so long as its done well. I think he became heavily disillusioned with the jedi and the line between good and bad. And decided to walk his own path. But got stuck in the gravity and web of sidious.

    yeah. after this he is probably a loss away from bellator/rizin too. khabib vs tony ferguson at 209 for the interim LW belt. great fight, soo stupid to have yet another interim belt. and soo soon. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2017/1/12/14259888/mma-news-announces-khabib-nurmagomedov-tony-ferguson-interim-lw-title-at-ufc-209
  9. yeah its too bad. Would have loved to have him here. OR see him go and get used some where.
  10. i cant see that happening. Hes still played well enough to back up or 3rd string some where. And that with a 2nd rate d4 team around him. Not to mention that skill set will draw attention. We arent talking about jamarcus russell here. At this rate maybe in 2-3 years. If he doesnt just retire.
  11. I dont see TO. They re worked willys contract, ray is still there etc. Plus that awful OL and lack of offensive weapons is a poor fit for him. Hamilton would be a great move, ottawa too if hank leaves / retires. I wonder if sask could be a fit if durant leaves.
  12. yes but the rider hype machine isnt dependent on playing time. plus the rider fans have that heavy tendency of who ever we have is super awesome and who ever leaves was never that good any way. Its easy to fall in love with a QB in practice too. No real rush, no hitting em, It allows the raw tool set to really shine. Guys like mcleod bethel thompson for instance. Or Robert marve. Tee martin in his first TC was constantly in the freep write up for making a great run or showing serious zip on the ball etc.
  13. His death was really weak. Especially for such a gritty character. That would have been awesome. But I feel like they are going away from the various alien races more.
  14. probably right. I didnt watch enough of him last year to say if hes gotta slide in but thats allways a possibility.
  15. It was supposed to be a much greater role but they didnt have time to do it. Thats why hes being pushed down to rebels to get the rest of the story arc done. The voice was messed up in the movie, and it was a waste of a great actor. I didnt find saw gerrera that memorable in clone wars. But it was such a deep series. Fixing anakin, bringing in the likes of asajj and ahsoka. It still didnt do a great job with general grevious though. I guess they couldnt throw in ahsoka though. Thatd blow what ever they are gonna do with her in rebels.
  16. I wonder if we would have interest in bourke. Or if he'd be accepting reduced rate. He didnt have much to work with in TO.
  17. It had a bunch of tips and nods to the EU, and the clone wars and rebels tv series. You see the ghost twice, hear general syndulla paged etc. I was disappointing when they looked like they were gonna do Grand admiral thrawn but as a human, yet some how more disappointing when it wasnt him. Over all I liked it, much better then the 3 other prequels. Not nearly as good as the top 3.
  18. Thought rogue one was good. Not as good as TFA but miles better then the other prequels. Really sets up and cleans up a new hope a lot. Im gonna have to go back and re watch a new hope now. Its not a new movie but i watched last chance U on netflix. It follows a juco power house football team and its players. Playmakers was all right, Blue mountain state was pretty funny, This was much better. On par with some of the better football offerings. In part because its real players and real people, but because it isnt spun. The look you get is very raw and it doesnt paint bad guys. You can really see different views and sides of the various situations.
  19. much of that was probably due to davis needing snaps and evaluation of the depth qbs. With some of the hits nichols took late in the year having him vs having davis be the next guy in was still huge. But it is a head scratcher imop. I would have loved to have him back as the no2 and push the no1 in TC. I wonder what the reasoning was behind doing this now? Does some other team want to sign him or does he want to shop him self around? Are we going to be tighter with the cap then expected? Maybe they have a line on a better qb situation. Will be interesting to see either way.
  20. Aaron sanchez has hired the boras co to represent him as agents.... bad news for the jays. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/01/aaron-sanchez-hires-boras-corporation.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

    thats my point. Im saying it would be beyond silly to strip him of the LW belt. But they allready tried to make an interim belt between nurmy and aldo (moveing up) I under stand the belt situation. What you are not getting is the ufc has been talking about stripping him of the LW belt. Im not talking FW. titles do mean some thing, but not as much as they should due to that exact watering down. And due to the strength of some divisions. The value of a belt may have never been lower. They have driven it down by giving undeserving guys shots and making silly match ups. Mcg Diaz shouldnt have happened. They should have pushed the fight back till it could be next up. that gabi garcia fight was as sad as kimbo/dada and more freakshow then most of bob sapps fights. And that is saying some thing. Rizin is such a poor shell of the former glory that was pride. People are going nuts giving it props for the tourny crocop just won but those fights were sloppy brawls.
  22. Of course they can. But the amount of juniors that come out and dont go to the nfl isnt big. Unless they have no choice due to some thing like academic eneligability. A junior is a long long wait just to get them in camp. Unless they have some severe "limitation" like being under 6' as a qb.
  23. Im well in the camp of you have to play to improve. Some time to learn the game/offense holding the board is certainly valuable though. If what was said in the closing presser is true, and MBT is coming back and davis is coming back, I wonder if we go with only one of nichols glenn, bring in no new qbs next year, or go 5 qbs in camp. Not a fan of that many arms. Just isnt enough ball to go around. QFT

    RR smells like burnt toast. It really rubbed me the wrong way her being excused from all media leading up to the fight. And coming back into insta title shot after that long lay off. And the talk of suicide after 1 loss and and and. Nunes is a gangster in that division. Best power by a huge margin. Would love to see her fight cyborg if cyborg could piss clean. (catch weight fight) Talk is tyrone woodley will fight a catch weight match against bisping in a pure cash grab. Pretty sad imop. Ufc also seems to want to strip mcg of his LW belt and have an interim match. The fetish the ufc has developed for interim belts and forced super fights seems like a cheap excuse at cash grabs. Stripping Mcg of the FW belt i think just under a year after he won it was silly. But I get it he didnt defend it and didnt seem to intend on defending it. Even though aldo had 3 or more periods of time where he went that long or longer with out a defense. Aldo allways intended on defending it. But stripping him of LW would just be dumb. Weve got some thin thin cards coming up. Could be record low PPV sales. trumped up interim championship matches isnt going to save it, itll just water things down even further and hurt the product long term.
  25. and dont have a ton of money as they have previous years. The qb situation I expect to take into FA to figure out the best deal.
