Picks this week need to be in by Thursday @ 6:30PM.

Even If this is what they did, they would still set box office records.

I figured it would be the time between episode 3 and 4. How he settled in to Tattooine and befriended Uncle Owen & co. Not sure how exciting of a movie that would make.

When I was in my 20s, I knew a few guys who went on steroids just to have a better physique when going to the bar. For something as competitive as college sports with a desire to get to the pros ... when you see the next guy doing them and getting results on them, it's hard not to give it some serious thought. Not saying it is at all right but once you get into the circle where you know a lot of people are doing them, it is easy to do it and get access to it.

Able to see it. Thanks for posting. If this keeps escalating, the States are heading for another civil war / revolution

PM me any changes prior to the game start.

Quite a few Winnipeg connections to the Vegas organization now. As they say, getting a job is more often about who you know not what you know. And as you alluded to earlier, Gary seems to be doing quite well down there as illustrated with his tweet: If you don’t like the Manitoba winters, Vegas isn’t a bad place to be. I like Hnidy as a broadcaster, brought an interesting perspective as an ex-player. Wish him well in Vegas.

Happy Birthday Bob!

You can either convert the Excel spreadsheet to a google sheet, share it, and the URL will embed or covert the PDF to a picture, upload it to a free picture sharing site and post that. Or if you prefer, send it to me and I can convert it.

You are posting it as a URL (copying may pick this up depending where it is copied from), it needs to be just text to embed it as a tweet.

Paste as plain text instead Click the Paste as plain text instead link and it should then embed the tweet.

Just for you ...

Not CFL but this is an amazing catch.

I think this was the post where Booch posted his credentials. It is the internet, you always need to take what people post with a grain of a salt, but I have personally always appreciated Booch's insights and comments, and glad he chooses to be an active member here.

Nice off season practice pad Duchene has going for him.

NFL begins the transition to full time referees. Can the CFL afford to do the same? Can they afford not to?

It sure was true with the music recording industry. One off examples are fine in the current landscape. I'm talking about a continuing trend where people end up paying more overall for content then they are today. And that will hurt the industry overall. I have no problem with corporations making money. I call them greedy when I believe they start to push the boundaries of what they do will ultimately be detrimental to their long term profits and business model. That isn't smart, that is self destructive. So yes, if I owned Disney stock, I wouldn't be thrilled with this move. They just spent $1.5 Billion to acquire the technology to do this. Time well tell if this will recoup that investment. It is pretty obvious from that article they are putting feelers out there to see just how far they can milk this with people. Push too far and people will go to cheaper competing products, especially when a younger generation is already tuning you out and watching "non commercially developed" personalities on YouTube over traditional media. Agree. I think they are going down a path that will take them to a place where consumers ultimately say I have had enough.

And this is what I'm talking about. It has gone from a all Disney content to possibly different subs for Marvel, Disney and Star Wars even though they are all owned by Disney. https://techcrunch.com/2017/08/09/marvel-and-star-wars-standalone-streaming-services-are-still-being-considered-says-disney/?ncid=mobilerecirc_featured Greedy corporations will push and push until the cunulative cost just doesn't make sense and people will go to illegal ways to watch. They learnt nothing from record labels.
