  1. Every player has a slump in their career. just gotta work hard in practice & on the ice & that hard work will pay off eventually. We need to cut Laine some slack.
  2. Not major players. Canadian backups or specialists for the most part. The guys that want the big paydays won't sign till a CBA is in place.
  3. Rumours are if the Lions do sign Reilly then they'd not sign Bighill as they couldn't afford both. Reilly would be the #1 CFL FA available & Bighill #2.
  4. Cariou & Selleck are less than 10 years apart in age.
  5. How can Walters offer a contract to a free agent when he won't know the salary cap figure, can't pay bonuses or if there'll even be a training camp? That's why this March 1st paperwork thing is bullshit. If they think it'll take 2 months to hammer an agreement then why not start now & get it done in mid March??? That only makes sense but not for either side.
  6. Well, the situation the league is in... this is a Fool's Game by Ambrosie & BOG's.. The CFL seems to become less & less relevant with Canadians with every passing year which should of a huge concern to them. Stalled negotiations won't help. Instead of starving the players out, negotiations should be done in good faith on both sides.
  7. WTF??? According to you, our 2 best players sucking ass AGAIN? I felt sorry for you when posters here went after you on the Wrestling Thread earlier today.... but after that comment I'm thinking now that you deserve it. Where would we be without Scheifle & Wheeler? Not even close to a playoff team. And it's always Maurice's fault.
  8. Very well could be. CBS has a lot of money invested in Weatherly & Bull so it'll be interesting how things play out.
  9. Blue Bloods is my favourite on tv as of now & has been for almost a decade. Would like to see it make 10 years & finish the run of the show with Frank retiring. However, the ratings are down. Especially in the 18-49 demographic. It still consistently draws 8-9 million an episode which is down from the 10-12 million it was drawing just 2 years ago. CBS deserves to treat loyal fans of the show the right way & if it's determined the series will be cancelled then let it go out the right way & finish off some of the series ongoing storylines. I've never understood how NCIS remains such a ratings bonanza for CBS especially with the departure of Michael Weatherly, Cote De Pablo & now Pauley Perette. I swore off that show when De Pablo left 3 or 4 years ago. Perrette apparently left as she couldn't stand working with Mark Harmon. Things got so bad between them that by season's send last year she refused to be filmed in any scene with Harmon. This all stems from an incident where Harmon brought his dog on set. It attacked a member of the production team mauling him severely. Harmon was told not to bring the dog back but he ignored the directive & did so anyway. Perrette felt Harmon was being selfish & putting everyone at risk. They had words & an argument ensued. She felt his dog was a risk to attack someone else. Fed up she quit. When she left the series last year, she tweeted that Harmon is "dead to me". Speaking of Weatherly, just can't into Bull. I hear the ratings have dropped significantly for that show since last year as well.
  10. So, I was mocked & chastised in late December when I voiced my frustrations about negotiations not starting on a new CBA. Relax, people said. It's Christmas & the 2 sides deserve a chance to rest after the season. Hey, they talk once a month so what's the big deal some of you said. They'll get at it in January. Well, in an interview with TSN's Dave Naylor this week, Randy Ambrosie told him that no negotiations have started & won't until late Febuary or early March which just about guarantees a deal won't get signed until sometimes in May just before training camps open, if then. Meanwhile our Commish worries more about Mexico & now freaking China while Rome burns around him.
  11. Question - Who would you rather have. Randle or Bighill? Gotta clear space to sign him.
  12. Thank you for everything, Chris. best of luck in the future.
  13. Hufnagel is loathe to sign name free agents as they cost money but these are different times.
  14. If the Lions sign Reilly, it'll be that much harder for them to sign Bighill so let the bidding begin.
  15. He was barely on the team.
  16. Not really.
  17. I'd laugh to see that.
  18. Every team is going to take some big hits.
  19. I think he liked working for Wally. I think that was pretty evident.
  20. Wow, some coaches just bounce around. Stubler & Reinbold especially. Such is the nature of the biz, I guess.
  21. Numbers shouldn't matter. Murder is murder. Riel feared for his life so he had him executed by firing squad. Judge, jury & executioner.
  22. Why is Louis Riel's statue not taken down? He ordered Thomas Scott executed. .
  23. Interesting that US domestic policy is in the hands of Rush Limbaugh & Anne Coulter.
