AKA they paid me the most.

The best way to view it as them simply using free agency to bolster the Canadian depth, which was needed. We can use a Canadian to back up Harris, we can use more canadian depth at receiver, especially if they're planning on using more of them there to get more americans on D. It all helps build the best roster possible so it can help the D even if it's not a direct signing on D. Better national depth on offense means no need for national linebacker which should mean better defense from the weakest position on the D.

I would say that the hype in the women's movement is the only reason it did get that buzz. Plus the academy people like the director based on previous work. Doesn't mean a lot. I mean christ didn't Shakespeare in love win best picture one year? That's the kind of thing that can win oscars. They are all bought and paid for.

as for the mens hockey team, who gives a ****? **** the IOC, IIHF and NHL for being greedy money grubbing pricks. Much more interested in women's hockey than men's because without the best players it means nothing. Rob Klinkhammer is on the team for god's sake! Let that sink in, Klinkhammer is an olympic hockey player. You know how I know it's gonna be bad bad hockey?

He was the man who was going to give them the best OL in the league! They won free agency simply by signing him. Never change Chris Jones, never change. Makes you wonder why anyone would sign a contract with him when he treats guys like that.

My wife hated it too and she's usually the first to like shitty movies with strong female characters so there's that.

I don't feel sorry for the Riders after they pulled the same crap with Brendan Labatte wanting to go home. It's part of the risk when you draft players.

FIRE EVERYONE!

I actually think you can get away being less skilled in mixed since there are more misses all around given you don't have the same precision in line calls or sweeping. I am actually torn on it as a sport. I think as a recreational sport it has a lot of merit, but my problems with it as an olympic sport as really the same as I have with curling in general being an olympic sport, namely that it's not the best competition. When you limit Canada to only one team you are leaving out 90% of the team teams. The Dutch can send a million speed skaters and the Norwegians can send a million skiers and the Germans can send a ton of sliding event competitors but Canada only gets one each for curling? It's nonsense.

No I have no problems with a female led movie, I have a problem with bad movies, which it was. It didn't have any good action scenes, as I said, they looked like something out of a bad video game, the acting was bad, only guy I thought was solid in his role was Chris Pine, but he had such **** to work with, as did everyone. The movie dragged on, the movie didn't have a cohesive plot. They fell into the trap of tell don't show. The entirety of Ares was told rather than shown, all for the sake of having a twist for who the real villain was, which fell completely flat. It was quite frankly lazy film making. But hey, feel free to enjoy crappy movies, I am sure there are a lot more coming out this summer too.

Finch over rated? Not a chance. Dude is a good returner.

You missed the whole thing with Ghostbusters about how if you don't like this movie you are a misogynist? Wonder Woman was a bad movie all around, you like it then you're wrong plain and simple.

So in the interest of discussion, let's talk about the sideshow of mixed doubles curling.... Lawes and Morris absolutely destroyed the competition. What a bloody joke of a sport. Were they hoping that the european teams could compete in that since Canada treats it rightly as an after thought? Lawes and Morris were both so superior as shot makers to anyone else it wasn't even funny. Oh well, more easy medals for Canada I suppose.

Wild has been so injured there is no way he's pulling in the money he was previously. And yes he is a difference maker when healthy. No problems getting him at a lower price for depth and I don't believe for a second that he's going to hinder the teams ability to sign anyone.

Yeah I can't understand where this idea that the Heath-Randle side of the field was a no go zone either... yeah the first few games of the year they didn't see a lot of action but by the end of the year teams were making big plays against all sides of the secondary. Simply put I don't believe Heath is worth as much as he thinks he's worth and we can replace him. Randle was always the far more important guy to bring back.

What's odd about it? if it weren't for the **** quality of previous DC fans and people's desire for a good DC film and the desire for a female lead blockbuster people wouldn't delude themselves into thinking that Wonder Woman was actually good. It was **** and the only praise it got was better than the **** DC has crapped out before. Saw it with chick ghostbusters too, some people tried to make that movie get a better reputation than it deserved because equality! I judge movies on their own merits and even if it's something that's not my cup of tea I can recognize when it's well done, this movie was not well done regardless of all the pressure for it to be better than it was and yeah, Gal Gadot is easy on the eyes but her performance was not as good as the hype she gets.

surely there is more to this thread that attention seekers posting only medals canada has won... don't make this thread as useless as the tv thread

Is the implication here that those guys were crappy players? Cause Johnson was solid and Washington was really ******* good....

I didn't know it was his birthday

Red Skull wasn't the greatest villian, but at least he was present in the movie

What was wrong with the existing free agency thread? Or the around the league thread? Seems like this is just making a post for the sake of making a post.

Yeah I just don't get it, surely if Hurl was a consideration for MLB for the Bombers this year he'd have been signed a long time ago. The fact that he's not signed tells me they're going in a different direction. I think they have a pretty good idea what the ratio is going to look like and linebacker isn't going to be a Canadian position.

is that what you appreciate about her?

IOC is desperate for more winter medals.

That's the problem there.
