Have to redo the Pick 'Ems with the site reset. If you already submitted your pics, you will need to do them again.

Heritage classic is coming up so time for a thread for it. Found this tweet interesting. Remember the outcry from last year and backlash on the Bombers for delaying this event due to not wanting to cannibalize Grey Cup sales? Grey Cup ticket price point and the tickets to both Heritage Classic games are very similar (can only buy the heritage games as a package). If the Jets can’t even have this event sold out a week before the game, I think the Bombers were justified in their concerns over what the effect would have been on the Grey Cup.

Actually, here is an interesting question for everyone. There are some things I could have tried, but only from home, and I won't be home until after 10:30 tonight (Jets better win tonight). So my choices were revert back to last Tuesday or keep the site down for the day and probably get it back with a couple hours work (I'd say my odds were 80 / 20). Which would you have preferred? 1) Have the site down all day and wait until tonight to find out if I can get it back. 2) Lose 5 days of posts My reasoning is it sucks to lose all those posts. but it is usually the current and ongoing dialogue that is more important. Any other thoughts? And lesson learnt, no more remote upgrades..... I seriously didn't think that a failed upgrade could do what it did....

Everyone will get a bonus 100 internet points. 150 for your exceptional effort last week.

I'll refund double your registration fee.

Wasn't planned. That might be part of the problem.

Had a bit of a catastrophic event this morning. An upgrade gone horribly bad. Broke the server so daily database backups couldn't be used. Had to revert to a whole server backup which only occurs weekly ... on Tuesdays ... so yeah, almost a week wiped out. Not a good morning...

What's crazy this season is that there are now 3 Western teams who have clinched playoff spots. No Eastern teams. No Eastern team has a .500 or better record. Just like old times....

The agent has already made a name for himself with player holdouts. Ask Kyle Turris, Brandon Dubinsky, and Ryan Johansen.

Picks need to be in this week by Friday @ 6PM

It is unlikely cache as the game it is being advertised for is October 29. I've only ever seen them advertise for the "next" home game, so the October 29th game wouldn't have been cached.

Make sure everyone writes down exactly what they wore today and re-dresses for next time. Be a team player.

Wonder if this guy can resurrect his career with a change in scenery. Has to be considered a bust after being drafted 1st overall.

If they send Pav down, their overall budget doesn't really change. Both Pav and Hutch make the same in the AHL and NHL. They can save 570k if they send Helle down. That's not really worth it if they think Helle is their best option . Having said that, I don't think they send Pav down.

We were selling them at one point, but there wasn't really a demand for them. I think Noeller was one of the few who actually paid for one, others we gave away with contests. I might still have some kicking around somewhere.

How do you guys know your jerseys are no longer lucky? Maybe it was someone else who stopped wearing their jersey, and they are to blame. Never ever wash your jerseys again....
