wayyyyyyyyy more......Summer Olys suck for Canadians....

100%, the Euros (Russians, especially) will go. THey don't give two shits about the NHL! Ovechkin is absolutely going, and his owner has already said he supports him completely...

Ovechkin says he's going, and his owner supports him......so I think we'll see a few who go, regardless...

Well, it's South Korea, not North...but still.....the point is more that the NHL desperately wants to be in China in 2022, but not Korea....you can't pick and choose. You want out of Korea? Fine......but you don't get to come back in for China and all the big money waiting for them there...

as has been noted: They DID call him....it went to VM, so they left a message. They then called the agent and told HIM of their plans. When nobody could get a hold of him, he was then texted.

Fantastic work from Taiter....man, I loved Gordon. One of the best possession guys of all time... http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/04/03/robert-gordon-catching-flash/

The owners didn't want it. It disrupts their season and they want all of the focus on their season, not the Olys. The worst case scenario for them was that the World Cup was a bag of crap, which is was, which meant people still really wanted the Olys. Their hope was that people would love the WC so much they would forget about the Olys. Nice try....no dice. Really sucks...Oly hockey is the best hockey we'll ever see.

DTs don't really get sacks, as a general rule.....Doug Brown is arguably the best DT in CFL history, and he didn't get a lot of sacks. He just constantly won battles...

I dunno, on paper, that looks like a pretty solid team. We'll see how the MACK spot shakes down in camp, and what NI Rec ends up being in July, but that looks pretty good to me, for April...

I remember MOS talking last year about how he hates the term "turnover" and the team uses "Take Away", because he feels like turnover undervalues the work of the defense on those defensive plays. Somehow it's always looked at as the offense made a mistake and that's the only reason it happened, rather than giving the defense any credit at all for it, which some would argue is more often the case...

I think the only really good balance is to have distinct Family Zones where there's no booze allowed.

Overall team D was bad this year. Wasn't one individual position holding us back. Injuries all over played a part, but overall team defense from forwards on down was bad.

Leafs, Sens, Habs, Oilers and Flames all likely to make playoffs.... Ain't that some ****....

I hate April 1 so much...

LITERALLY!

From John Hodge: "Smith signed a monster 3-year, $450,000 deal with the Bombers prior to the 2016 regular season." http://3downnation.com/2017/03/31/ryan-smiths-retirement-means-bombers/ So, $150k/year......let's put 'er to rest....

if memory serves, he's played mostly (if not ONLY) guard....

Greaves likely a more "durable" option, but Neufeld, when healthy, is a much better player and more versatile (plays every position on the line)

For the record, I know I'm not right, but a lotta talk without any proof behind it, is all I'm saying....

waiting for your proof that I was wrong....

@CFLCapGuy #CFL teams received audited 2016 cap results today. Statutory waiting period, then media release to follow. Really hoping the Riders got dinged as hard as they should.....

In fairness, I said "closer to 200k" (than $120k).....now, I may have Smith/Dressler contracts mixed up, but I could swear it was north of 150k, for sure...

We should be so lucky...

I remember reading 185k...
