Done! Throw in Burmi too. Maybe they'll throw in a pick.

I wish the Republicans would give up on the same sex marriage and abortion stuff. They are so far behind the curve on those issues.

Buck Pierce to be named QB coach
- U.S. Federal Election
I have been studying Bernie's website on how he thinks he can raise the mega-billions he wants to get to pay for all of the great free stuff he wants to lavish on America's "middle-class" and I can't get his numbers to work. For instance, unless I am reading it wrong, Bernie claims that he will be able to tax financial transactions at .5% and this will result in $125 billion in tax revenue. Yet he states in his white paper that the value of the transactions he wants to tax is in the $25 billion per year range. When I do the math I get $125 million, not billion. But that doesn't really matter. If Bernie thinks that he will be able to just pull $125 billion a year, somehow, out of America's financial markets, he's on crack. And so are his followers. I'm 100% in favor of a Rubio-Clinton face-off for the presidency. And may the best man win.- Buck Pierce to be named QB coach
All the best to Buck. If Lapo can keep Willy alive this year instead of the previous QB killing ground we had as an offensive scheme, I know Buck will be a great mentor and super coach. This is a step in the right direction in my opinion.- Bombers Sign Macho Harris and DL Sheyon Green
I was in Costco yesterday and ran into some people in line who were Rider fans (came up as we were chatting). They were cheesed that we've signed all of their players and I was cheesed that we had signed all of their players. So it was a mutual cheesing.- Around the NHL

You would think Buck would want to stick close to home, as he's in baby-making mode right now.- Around the NHL
I actually enjoyed it. I also found the skills competition somewhat funny and sort of interesting too. A few of the players hammed it up and made it fun. This was awesome though, icing on the cake: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=800494&navid=DL|NHL|home Kudos to the Nashville fans for selecting John Scott as MVP, and for lustily booing Gary Bettman. http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=941105 It's too bad that the CBC rushed to end their broadcast so quickly.- Around the NHL
You forgot Edmonton in 2006 and Ottawa in 2007. Canada's had its chances to win the Cup, we've just choked when we've had the chance.- Canadian Politics
In BC we sure do.- Major League Football (MLFB)
This made me remember the time Perry Tuttle spoke to our class in Niverville and someone asked him if he was nervous playing in front of 30,000 people at Winnipeg Stadium (that's what it was called back then) and he just laughed and said that he played in front of crowds much bigger in high school in the US. We were stunned. Didn't have the internet back then.- Walters Presser
well someone has to replace Addison Richards on the P/R after he has a blockbuster break-out year in 2016.- Walters Presser
I hear you ISO, yet I see teams like Montreal and Calgary continually finding players, despite the changes down south. Winnipeg used to be a great destination for talent, which is why we consistently fielded great teams during that era. I don't know what happened. Maybe it was when Reinebold took over from Cal, but someone severed that pipeline, and we've really sucked ever since (with a few flashes of greatness here and there).- Walters Presser
How about they just do what they did in the 1980's, and do it again? Man they always had such a huge flow of talent coming through Winnipeg in those years. I don't know how you just "forget" to scout like they used to. What happened? I look at teams like Calgary and every time a guy goes down, someone even better seems to just seamlessly pop up from nowhere and take his place. I would just focus on what Huffer does, and do that here.- Dressler Signs with Bombers
Willy to Dressler - the new Khari to Milt combo we've been hungering for for all these years?- We be tankin' it (official tanking thread) ...
Cormier should get the bulk of PP time going forward, with Peluso and Thorburn.- Former Blue Bomber Matt Pierce Passes Away

Sanders is creeping up on Hilary. So much so that her campaign is now running around calling Sanders a communist. They are really getting scared.- Game 47 : Aliens vs Predators @ Jets

Addison Richards excluded of course. He's game breaker material if I ever saw it.- Blue Jays
yeah I always liked how he said he was going to go to a bush party to celebrate after every win. Fan favorite for sure. - U.S. Federal Election
