  1. do people actually complain about the food in stadiums? I mean seriously if you can get hot dogs and burgers and chickenfingers and maybe pizza what more do you need? If you go expecting quality food I would suggest your expectations are out of line.
  2. because players never rebound right? Both have shown enough in the past to be worth giving a shot to rebound. Sure the bonuses due are an issue but there's no guarantees that the free agents they signed work out any better. I'd rather have more depth going into camp rather than less given how completely terrible this teams scouting has been.
  3. What's the consensus on season 2 of Daredevil? I haven't got around to watching it yet. I liked the first season but not as much as some people did, I liked Jessica Jones better truthfully. Should I be investing my time in watching that right ******* now?
  4. Yeah because releasing veteran players in the offseason always pays off. I would have preferred to see them either traded for something or given a shot in training camp. What if Smith isn't as good as Denmark? Then those nuts didn't really pay off did they?
  5. No he's not. He is missing the consistency that Edwards had.
  6. I like Denmark, he's got a lot of skill, trouble with him is that he needs to be a second fiddle to someone to really shine. When the spotlight is on him he isn't as good. That's a problem when you're paid like a star and the team went and signed some big ticket free agents. Once again we're relying on Kyle Walters to finally find a receiver through scouting in order to make the passing game dangerous. Let's hope this year works out better than the past couple.
  7. Denmark makes too much to be in the role he is in. Still need more talent at receiver I think.
  8. Yeah I definitely had that one in the past. They had a Rye IPA that was good too, I am still partial to the Big Caboose Red Ale of theirs though, and the pale ale is solid, matter of fact their brown is a good offering too.... yeah solid brewery but as I said, disappointed in the tap room only having a few options on tap.
  9. I think it was Labatts that bought Granville Island, still their stuff tastes mostly the same and it's still pretty good. I've been quite enjoying another of the bought out by the big guys craft brewers to be honest. Goose Island IPA is hands down my favourite IPA. Nice balance and not overly hopped like some stupid IPAs. The Honkers Ale is damned good too. Just a shame that buying their beer supports the evil big companies. Stopped in at the Fernie Brewing Company tap room on the weekend while in Fernie, was kind of disappointed truthfully, they have a big lineup of beers but only had 6 on tap. Anyway they had a collaboration with Whistler Brewing company that was pretty tasty, Springshred Red session ale. Was solid stuff. Also rather enjoyed their Slingshot session IPA. not overly stupid on the hops and lots of flavour.
  10. It's the REDBLACKS! way. They've bitched and moaned about everything, probably because the CFL was so desperate to make them good right away that they actually thought they were special.
  11. Well my solution would have been to not hire him in the first place. I mean we fired the guy twice for good reasons
  12. Blizzard games tended to have some interesting stories but this film concerns me greatly.... I think dungeons and dragonning it is a big concern. I also worry they'll try and stuff too many Easter eggs in for fans it will just be too silly.
  13. If you do it well though you can have it both ways. Wrath of Kahn is held in such high regard precisely because it bridged the gap between examining a theme and combining it with some action. I've said it before in other threads that I hate the trend of action movies these days to be written around a couple big sequences. It's totally backwards and inorganic. The newer Trek movies suffered from that and so have the Transformers movies. We'll call it Michael Bay syndrome
  14. Star Trek the Undiscovered Wrath of Kahn was just so lazy. I enjoyed it in the theatre cause I'm a sucker for call backs and references but after some time to reflect on the movie it's really a mash up of Wrath of Kahn and the Undiscovered Country filled with enormous plot holes and a story that really doesn't make much sense. I was excited about the idea of rebooting the universe a bit to avoid having to stick to some of the cluttered canon but it's like they just tried way to hard to give us some fan service rather than caring about making a movie that made sense. I actually liked most of the actors they got for the cast as well. I think they could all channel the original characters well enough, the thing just got so far off the rails it was more of a parody than anything.
  15. He's an assistant coach though. Yes I see some validity in wanting to run an offense his way with the kind of players he wants, but sometimes that's not the best solution when you have a head coach and general manage above you in the pecking order each with their own ideas. Sometimes a coach has to be able to adapt to what he has. Adaptability is the best trait that a coach can have and I dunno that Lapo is all that adaptable.
  16. I would like to see a new Trek series. I never really watched Enterprise, saw a few episodes here and there and never really got into it, Voyager to me was just terrible but when I was young I loved TNG and DS9, the latter being my favourite of the series. I think given the way people view TV now it would lend itself very well to some longer running story arcs as opposed to having an alien of the week situation. Just have to remember that Star Trek really isn't about the big space battles and adventure like Star Wars is (something I think they failed to recognize in the last couple movies). Keep it focussed on examining what humanity is and I think they've got something.
  17. Hell Lapo wanted say in what players were brought in for the offense. Guy is a control freak. All I can say is the offense better be damned good this year cause I didn't care for the hire but knowing the ego he's bringing with him he better back it up.
  18. TO BILL BRASKY!
  19. We said the same last year though
  20. Does it really? Same questions about the OL, same questions about the DL far as I can see... They added some receivers and a bit of NI depth but there's still some questions about this team. I seem to recall people saying after FA last year that the team looked pretty good personnel wise as well. Given his history Walters doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt because this team has been lacking talent his whole tenure. I'm giving him a chance to come through for sure, but he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt because he hasn't earned that yet.
  21. If you do enjoy Game of Thrones I would say do yourself a favour and read the books. They're very different at this point in the series and just on a completely different level. I always feel like people who only watch the show are short changing themselves. They've ****** up so much of the show I don't believe I'll even watch the new seasons until the books are finished. (Hurry up fat man, write the ******* things, you've had more than enough time)
  22. You never have to justify taking the best player available and I quite frankly disagree entirely with drafting on need as opposed to BPA.
  23. Yeah it's canon. They just recast it cause Norton didn't play well with others. Think they made a reference to Blonsky in agents of shield as well.
  24. Mostly from the baby sitting community
  25. then that means you yourself are one of them because it means you don't view the delusions as delusional.
