Reilly won't come back. Even if he did, do you think he'd play for Rourke's pro-rated 65K for the rest of the season? How would the Lion's manage that cap mess?

The 2 Degree C - Beyond the Limit Series in the Washington Post is the best series I've read on current impacts. Worth subscribing for a month, just to read the entire series. I don't have the option to gift this article. Maybe it's free? (And I have no idea why the "C" was converted to that emoji.) 2°😄 BEYOND THE LIMIT Extreme climate change has arrived in America By Steven Mufson , Chris Mooney , Juliet Eilperin and John Muyskens Photography by Salwan GeorgesAUG. 13, 2019 https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-america/

Straight shooter is correct. No athlete talks like this anymore and it's too bad.

How come no one is talking about Bobby Clarke in this thread?

Toews wishes he could be 1/10th the player that the Great Bobby Clarke was. Are you suggesting that they gave Neilson cancer?

Well Orr really could swing his purse.

Ovechkin is/was better than Crosby.

Just responding GeeBrr style (suggesting Crosby is better than McDavid)

Ryan O' Reilly's nuts would like to have a word with you on that "class act" comment. Are you from Winnipeg and never heard of Bobby Hull? This disrespect for the best Manitoba-born hockey player in the history of the universe will not stand.

Bobby Orr was the guy who watched (from ice level, mind you) Clarke hoist the Stanley Cup in 1974, I believe. Evidence:

How many guys win the Bill Masterton Trophy (1972) and then win 3 Hart Trophies (1973, 1975, 1976). You do know what the Hart Trophy is for, don't you? The Hart Memorial Trophy, originally known as the Hart Trophy, is an annual award for the most valuable player in the National Hockey League

Dude overcame Type 1 diabetes to become the best player of his time. He never pretended to be an angel.

I said whiny. Crosby is the whiny/dirty. Bobby Clarke is still one of my favourite players. He knew he was dirty and he didn't whine about everything.

And if by some miracle he isn't down South by December, the Lions will have to dismantle that receiving corp in order to redo his contract.

And if he missed the field goal through the end zone with no time left, he wouldn't have missed the OT field goal. I know - I'm Captain Obvious...

And he has shown zero inclination to be a jerk. I didn't hate Gretzky or Crosby because they were good, I hated them because they were whiny and whiny/dirty respectively.

Rourke is freaking good. As the Bible says, "Though shalt not covet thy other team's quarterback".

The drought in the U.S. Southwest is now considered a once in 1200 year event. It has lasted 23 years. *I have learned that as a subscriber, I can gift 10 Washington Post articles per month.

She did a great interview on As It Happens. Listening to it is much better than the transcript (which has edited out some of the conversation). https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-wednesday-edition-1.6553693/peterborough-mayor-defends-her-use-of-the-f-word-in-response-to-weekend-protest-1.6553815
