Any hope the other Kelowna lad on our roster, Jesse Briggs, gets a look this year at LB on any plays? I know his old coach here in Kelowna and he says Briggs is really under-rated.

undrained. That made me laugh.

Watching old footage of that 2011 draft, from what I saw on the TSN scroll right before Chevy announced the Scheifele pick was that Joel Armia was rated higher than Scheifele at that point. Imagine if they had taken Armia instead and Scheifele had gone elsewhere. Now we have both. Chevy is doing something right.

You and me both TJ!!!

I have no idea if this guy is "alt left" or "alt right", so don't judge me for posting this on that basis. I just thought that his point was valid.

Exactly. Who has demonstrated a pattern of "Russian collusion", and why does meeting with Russians now have to sound so nefarious? That's the part I don't get. Meetings between Americans and Russians happen all of the time. They even have doughnuts and lunch together. Why is this suddenly so bad?

Another Democrat caught out-right lying, this time Nanci Pelosi. No surprise there. As another poster said, context is important. Russians and Americans meet all of the time. If Sessions was lying under oath and he was actually meeting with Russians on behalf of Trump instead of on behalf of his job, then he should resign. But for Democrats to say that there is no interaction/they never meet with these same Russian people they are screaming about Trump's team meeting is just ridiculous. They once again have gone too far, and because of that, those that may be legitimately guilty may just wriggle off the hook. Who is that Nanci??? http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/nancy-pelosi-sergey-kislyak-meeting-235653

Chuck Schumer having a doughnut with Putin? Just what were the Democrats up to??? Feeding Putin doughnuts and buying his love?

yeah boy!

I wouldn't call Claire McCaskill's admissions a "Twitter Boner". I'd call it exposing the actual truth of the situation. And demonstrating how desperate the Democrats are to make an issue here, out of what could be something, or what could also be nothing. I get the whole Flynn thing and its good that he resigned. I can't wait for whatever the next thing is that the Dems latch on to after this Russian stuff finally goes away (and it may take Sessions resigning to do that. Let's face it, lots of people on both sides didn't want to see him as AG).

Respectfully, I think the Democrats are the ones being dumb. Now a Democrat senator, one of Sessions biggest detractors, has been caught full out lying. The truth is, politicians in Washington meet with foreign diplomats all the time. Sessions just made two mistakes - one he didn't disclose his contact in his hearings, and two, he shouldn't be a Republican.

Didn't Kenny Ploen do this too?

I just want to know the truth. There's been so much lying done by both sides, I'm curious as to what is the actual truth. So just calling each other names doesn't really help the situation. It seems to me that the DNC is reeling right now and looking for anything to grab on to to try and turn the tide and this Russian thing just keeps coming back. Did Sessions lie about meeting a Russian? If he did, then yes, he should resign, as no one should lie under oath. It's no different than saying that you did not have sexual relations with a certain woman, and then your DNA is found on her dress. Anyway, carry on with the faint hope that somehow this Russian thing is actually a thing. I will continue to wait for someone to produce a smoking gun that proves a) that Session definitely lied and b ) that his meeting was actually nefarious in any way.

I guess my question is - is anything you've written above actually true?

so you are saying that the media planned to drop this story whenever it looked like people might be getting over some of their anger and thinking about accepting Trump? I am still trying to understand what the issue here is, as I have from the beginning with this Russian stuff. I don't get what meeting with Russians has to do with anything. I realize that the Democrats are trying really hard to avoid taking any blame for their terrible election performance, but the Russians being the cause of them losing seems like weak sauce to me.

yes, with Myers in the line-up we'd be vying for the President's Trophy right now.

we'd go 18-0 easy this year. We'd also have to change our name to the Slytherin Blue Bombers but a small price to pay.

this kind of condition was why I was so happy to see Chicago eliminated in the first round last year.

I think they have the makings of a good corp group. Helle is going to be like a fine wine, and only get better with age. A full year of a healthy Myers and a happy Trouba and the addition of one or two more left D men (and the jettisoning of Toby and Stuart) and our D is looking good. Then it's time next year for Lemieux, Connor and Roslo to make the jump. I honestly think if the Jets can stay healthy next year could be the turnaround year. If they can stay healthy.

We all nod in agreement, until tomorrow when it's announced that Patrice Cormier has been called up... But seriously - do they call anyone up? Is Copp still up or is down with the Moose? Thorbs gets a steady spot now? Connor comes back up?

Chevy's not allowed to pick anyone good...

where have I been? Palm Springs. Watching the Jets.

also Simonise may bolt to the NFL. Speaking of our draft picks bolting to the NFL - any word on Bilikudi or Mulumba?
