  1. Have had a couple of reports of the site intermittently shifting / scrolling / or sliding when pages load, but have never experienced this myself. If anyone else is seeing this and you can provide some or all of the following information, I'd appreciate it: Which browser you are using Does the thread contain unread posts when it happens How are you clicking to get into the thread (ie. clicking on the title or the 'dot' to indicate unread posts Do the new posts span more than the current page Any other common conditions you may have noticed when it does happen
  2. They probably overpaid for Stanley but quality D-men are at a premium in the NHL right now. The overpay was less to get him at the draft then it would be to trade for an actual D down the road If you don't draft them, they are extremely hard to get. Hope the kid progresses and turns out.
  3. I'm pretty sure it is what I stated above, where if an RFA signs late, the team gets charged the salary for the full year, rather than the partial year they played for. This would have been instituted to get rid of loop holes where a team could make a player sit out to get cap relief. And if this is what he means, then it isn't a blanket 30k per day. The amount is based on what the player ends up signs for, and if the player doesn't sign, then there would be no cap hit at all. Though I can't find that documented anywhere either ... but that makes more sense to me then penalising a team with a cap hit for an RFA sitting out.
  4. Yesterday they were at 16k (goal is 30k) when I first looked at it. They are now at $21.5k . Nice to see the whole CFL community stepping up.
  5. Dirty move on Sheifs.
  6. I donated on behalf of the site. Thought it was a worthy cause from the ad revenue. So thanks to everyone who lurks, posts, reads, and clicks on ads.
  7. Armia finally rewarded for his hustle.
  8. @ReindeerGames91 $30K a day if he signs $5.5M AAV. $300K after 10 days. I could be misreading this but this is quite a bit different. This is just saying they will be charged the full cap hit if he signs later in the year. The cap charge would be based on the salary signed. The team wouldn't get cap relief for having the player be paid for a partial year.
  9. People are going to keep paying 100 - 200 a seat to not go to games?
  10. Do you have a link for where this is explained / documented? Never heard of this before. This would put huge amounts of pressure on NHL clubs to sign an RFA prior to December 1 if they don't have the cap space. $5.4M would be a crazy big cap hit.
  11. If this team continues to be nothing but a bubble / missing the playoff team for another 5 years, the sellouts will be gone, even with the current waiting list. Hopefully the current young guys turn into a formidable core and we never see that to find out.
  12. It took 10 years for the shine to come off the Wild when they went back to Minnesota and the team stopped selling out. The Jets 1.0 were never the draw they are now. If the team continues to wallow in mediocrity for the next 4 - 5 years, the honeymoon will be over.
  13. Arniel spent 6 seasons with the Jets. Throw in his history with the Moose, and no doubt he would have been there if he wasn't coaching.
  14. I think there is a chance Maurice could go this year, but it won't be based on win / loss record, it will be based on how the team looks and responds to his coaching. If they put up 70 / 80 points but you see the progression in the younger players and the team is still putting out the effort, he will be fine. But if the losing mounts up and the players start playing like they were under Noel when he was let go, then a change will have to be made.
  15. Take home on Saturday was around $150k. Take home on Sunday was just over $200k. If ever there was a time to win 50/50 in my 20 years of buying 50/50..........................................
  16. I was reading an article the other day that theorised that if Trump loses, he would divorce Melania as she has reached the age where Trump usually starts looking for someone new. Speculating that he has just been waiting for the election to be over for "optics".
  17. Making slow progress. It so far only goes from downtown to U of M. It isn't rail like the C-Train, it is normal busses. There are some dedicated stretches where the road is busses only but not a continuous reserved roadway throughout. It is at least reserving space and putting in the beginnings of the infrastructure where rail could eventually go. With the deficit the city is currently in, unless something drastically changes, I still think actual rapid transit is 20 years out. It isn't at all a priority right now. That U of M track has been scaled back a few times now.
  18. I don't think he was killed just to be shocking .... how they did it was meant to be shocking. And I know they don't always follow the comics to the tee, but IMO killing Glenn was more about being true to the original story from the comics. The show is also in its 7th season. How much longer are the actors who've been there since season 1 going to want to keep doing it? With the world they live in, not everyone should survive. And if the core of the cast always lived, the show would lose something IMO.
  19. Picks need to be in by Friday @ 6PM
  20. Finally? People have been saying we won since the day the trade was made. For sure since the draft.
  21. To me you can't take their passports away when deciding who you vote for because of the way the CFL works. A game breaking national is always worth more than an equivalent or even slightly better international.
