Pretty much how I feel about all things. I don't buy into this "Anything that's good for the league..." stuff. I've suffered enough without a championship in 25 years.....**** EVERYONE that's not us.... Going on the tombstone

Everything Orci writes is 3 or 4 big action sequences tied loosely together with a nonsensical story full of plotholes. Guy is a hack plain and simple yet some how he is successful.

Am I crazy or did Washington not get the tougher matchups? Why are you all thinking Johnson is better than him? Mark my words if the Bombers move on from Washington people are going to be bitching about letting a talent like that go.

well our rbs were meh last year, I'd take a meh nation over a meh international.

I legitimately don't know what to think of him... He was great as Drogo but beyond horrible in Conan... I'm hoping that the Conan movie was just a giant bag of **** all around and no one could have saved it and he's actually a decent actor. His Khal Drogo was one of the highlights of that season.

Ooooo portrait, sounds classy

I don't think this is as big of a deal as it once was. I don't think so either. Even Calgary was using am american primarily to back up Cornish. Flexibility seems to be the order of the day for the ratio in the CFL. 8 or 9 guys who could start depending on the injury situation on the roster.

I got around to finishing Jessica Jones last week, pretty solid but yeah if you're squeamish about stuff it might be hard to watch and it's dark as **** but a good watch I thought. I liked it better than Daredevil, but maybe that's because I didn't really like the actors in Daredevil where as I thought Krysten Ritter did a real good job in this show.

What a guy who's made his living being on TV the last couple years sold himself well in an interview? The hell you say

how about Kyle Walters just does what every other GM in the league can do and find some pass catchers on his own from the states? There's only about a million of them down there. If they are that easy to find EVERY NFL team would have "perfect" pass catchers. Name a CFL team other than Ottawa that can't find some receivers that can play. It's a position that a GM should be able to find guys for. No one is asking for perfect, just good enough you can find someone without having to go into the free agent market.

Most likely they are taking all the circle jerking about themselves seriously and actually believe they are special.

The moral of the story is, don't give your family complete control of your finances. You can afford to hire a professional to manage your money when you have that much and it's worth every single penny if you hire one that knows his ****.

If by some chance you are serious, what should the Regina team have to give Edmonton for taking their Head coach? They gave permission though. Do you think it would be fair if Steinhauer quit and signed to coach another team despite Hamilton saying no way. You can't just allow people to ignore valid contracts. Morally Ottawa should let the guy go..legally they shouldn't. Except they gave the Esks permission to talk as well.
-
Honestly I'm thinking perhaps the Jets should trade Trouba. They can likely get a killing for him being so young and he just seems to have that attitude that the only way he stays in Winnipeg is if he's paid top dollar.

**** Ottawa.

Edmonton Oilers LOL (perhaps Calgary Flames LOL)
17to85 replied to IC Khari's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Yeah like everyone said, get a good coach in there to fix the train wreck that Eakins caused. The best part of this streak is that they're doing it with their entire 2nd line on the shelf with injury. Hall and Draisaitl showing the kind of chemistry they have and with McDavid showing prior to his injury that he could take over games too the Oilers are a healthy roster away from being a hard team for teams to match up against because you are looking at the possibility of RNH and Eberle on a third line. -
Why is Edmonton interested in Malkin when they already have McJesus, RNH and Draisailt who is currently ripping the league a new *******? The Pens problems are simple really, their defense isn't good enough. Letang is their best and he's A) one dimensional and not healthy. After that they're hoping for a bunch of rookies to develop.

Apparently you do need the science lesson because you're not getting it. And as far as insulting, you admitted that you haven't been paying attention so is calling into question whether you have paid attention really all that much of an insult?

What a ridiculous and childish post. You might be wise to remember that there is a very real possibility that the Bombers will be looking for a GM in the not so distant future and that Murphy will probably be at the top of that list. When that time comes, I can GUARANTEE that you will be here saying "the Bombers better get this done" as opposed to "Yeah, he's good. But I'd rather go with someone cheaper. We called out the Riders and their fans for spending money to get the best candidates last year. I really don't want to look like a hypocrite". no you missed the point. The point is let's all laugh at the hypocritical rider fans. Some of us remember the past and rider fans are acting like the people they once upon a time swore were the evil empire. -

Rider fans, continuing to miss the point. Your franchise suffers envy of the esks and wants to be like them. All those cups they won and the fans screamed bloody murder about it because they had money to throw around. Now the Riders have money to throw around and don't give a **** about pissing people off to do it, ie. becoming the Esks, and the fans are all "so? It's no big deal, they hate us cause they ain't us" Just the biggest ******* hypocrites going and it's the reason no one likes your sad sack team and has nothing but contempt for the fan base. -
and when there are two sides arguing about what the data means and one side has 90% of the support then you simply write off the 10% as quacks. Science isn't opinion, if the 10% had valid interpretations they would be taken more seriously. This is how science works. For a hypothesis, test hypothesis and data either confirms or refutes hypothesis, other scientists try and replicate the data gathered and determine if your experiment was good or bad. Science is always questioning everything and it's always adapting. That's why the ice age stuff from the 70s disappeared. Not because science is wrong, but because science is always searching for the correct answer. Always. Your arguments really do sound a lot like the creationists, which is arguing from a point of not understanding the scientific process. Well I suppose we could employ the "he who yells loudest is right" or the "I say you suck so Im right" methods. But realistically, there is science on both sides. if you're saying you'd write off 10% of scientific study or result, I'd say you're simply being very closed minded. Scientists can certainly tie lay people up in knots. But there has been plenty of easy to understand opinion and information in this thread that makes it pretty silly to swallow the Global Warning stuff without a second thought. By that token, if we were able to have this discussion in the 70's you'd be telling dismissing me and others when we questioned if we really were entering an Ice Age. You'd say ofcourse we are, the "scientists" say so. The world warms and cools. What is very disingenuous is the information provided to the general public does not generally include this information. It doesnt say "at some point, the ice caps will melt no matter what humans do, at sea levels will rise, and coastal cities will be under water. It is inevitable that this will happen at some point in the life of the planet. So anyway...we sill think we can hold that off for awhile by doing this...." they dont frame it like that. They frame it like "we can stop this from happening." You cant stop it from happening. So at what point do you think there is a limit to the expense of trying? Especially versus (as others have pointed out) saving lives right now at a fraction of the cost? Do you really think all life on earth will end due to man-made global warming in the next 100 years? I dont. I hope I live for another 100 years and you do too...so I can say I told you so. Are you paying attention? I've already said my piece on the idea of doom and gloom and the politicizing of it, but you really come across like you have no concept of the scientific method and how people can claim to have science on their side but are doing it wrong. Here's an example, first year chemistry lab we were doing an experiment meant to show the conservation of matter, well my results came back and the thing lost some matter somewhere. Now I coulda tried to say "see the principle is bunk, I scienced the **** out of it and here's the results" Instead the prof gave me a poor mark for ******* something up. This is why I bring up the creationist comparison. There's people who think they have science on their side when they say evolution doesn't happen, but it's bad science. It's the same when people deny that global warming is happening. Hell let's not even call it global warming, that's an old term, the correct term is climate change because lots of things happen when the climate changes it's not just warming. We can argue about the impact CO2 has on it, we can argue about what should be done about it, but arguing that it's not happening is a fools argument that has no sound basis in science. Here's the thing, the climate could start to cool all on it's own despite the increased number of greenhouse gases, that doesn't make the science wrong, just means something else happened.

This is why I mock the Riders for wanting to be the Esks. They cried the loudest about Edmonton buying cups back in the day, now they are flush with cash and are trying to spend their way to cups, including spending to get the entire Esks coaching staff that just won a cup. It's sad really the envy that organization has for the Esks. -

It was as much a secret as Christoph Walsh being Blofeld in spectre. They tried to deny it but everyone knew the story before the movie came out.
