Definite politics...everyone trying to play hardball, but it sounds like they just need to find a way to convince the Feds to cough up 10-mil as we did by putting the stadium near the UofM. They'll come up with something...

You're the only one who's been even remotely funny in this thread. "Caption This" threads are only funny when you're at least somewhat harsh. The lame "inbreeder" jokes are passe...c'mon, people, you're smarter than that, I hope...

Those Buck chips were ridiculously awesome and I really sincerely wish they'd come back. Because you could only really get 'em in MB, we'd have to stock up anytime one of us went home and bring 'em back to AB for game days....

Really surprised how many people are so anti-unions in this thread. Kind of interesting...

You're sad, I want one. I wear comic book tshirts all the time. You don't like it...TOOOOOO BAAAAAAAAD!!!And if you look they are obviously adult sized. I'm sure they have kids sizes too. I'm buying one. Seriously you guys sound like a bunch of cry babies. Soooo much this. Worst thing about society right now is that you losers made it seem as if its cool to be a nerd.

Its not funny when I have to explain the ironical jokes...

If they're in little kids sizes only, fine, but if I see an adult in one....that's really really sad.

The interconnected series of tubes or webs that allow us to get on the line and read the emails and facebooks and tweeters....

One of the first things I do in the morning is read the Wpg FP online at work...usually around 8am, because I'm obsessive compulsive like that....and I just assume that if it's newsworthy, someone will post it in the main forum. I rarely go anywhere but the main discussion forum. Occasionally I'll jump over to the General Discussion if I'm REALLY bored and the tubes are being lame, but it's pretty much just here or nowhere.

I have never once set foot (mouse) in that news feed...

I care a lot about the players and especially the Canadian ones. Wouldn't be the same without the vets...

On the contrary, the players' resolve has never seemed stronger, based on what I've been reading. Good for them. I'm decidedly pro-PA in this one. Be strong boys!

that "bonus" for signing before June 2 or whatever....what a ******* joke. That's an insult to the players, and hopefully they see it that way. But like Lawless says, "they're *only* 2.2m apart", so it's time to negotiate and narrow that gap...

http://www.tsn.ca/story/?id=452722 Dave Naylor - TSN "With talks between the Canadian Football League and the CFL Players Association at a standstill, the league has taken its message directly to the membership. Shortly after talks broke off during the latest bargaining session Wednesday morning, the league issued letters to the individual players which proposes a nine per cent increase in the salary cap for this coming season from $4.4 million to $4.8 million, with increases continuing over five season until the salary cap reaches $5,000,050.00. The proposal would see the minimum salary increased from $45,000 to $50,000, and the average salary go from - by the league's math - $82,904 to $92,917. The league has also proposed increasing the size of game day rosters from 42 to 44 players and limiting full contact practices to one per week during the season, with up to 10 more being held during the season at the team's discretion. In addition, the league is dangling signing bonuses for every player if a deal is ratified by June 2, the first day or training camp. Rookies would receive $1,000 each, with veterans collecting $3,000 apiece. The latest move by the league comes after a previous offer to the CFLPA was rejected on May 16. The player returned with an offer on May 20, which asked for an increase in the salary cap to $6.24 million for this coming season, with further increases to be built on top of that, starting in 2015, based on sharing in the league's revenue streams. TSN reported Tuesday that the players were planning to propose on Wednesday a formula for the cap based solely on sharing revenue streams that would put the cap at $7 million"

and keep in mind it's a battle for ST spots, not just starting D...

Lol @ the melodrama in this thread...

Big guy sitting on the sidelines constantly injured?

I lurk more than I post, but I'm exclusive to this site. Haven't once set foot (mouse?) on the other page since leaving it and the official page is a bit of a joke. Not enough critical thought there. One thing, though: Am I the only one who really dislikes banners in the sig line? ICK's giant pic of jerseys in his sig line is really annoying...but maybe it's just me.

So I have absolutely no clue who this is....please to be explaining why the excitement......?

Indeed...

Where do you hear of all these players before everyone else? He doesn't...he just likes everyone to think he's a really big deal...

One thing to keep in mind is that the Centre isn't always the guy who is the "leader" on the line, recognizing protection and calling out schemes and what not. I believe in the past we've had a G do it. Generally, it's the Centre, but not always...

I've been screaming for Jimmy McGinty to come north since Ritchie left...

Tillman has been with Hammy for awhile now...

I can't wait for camp....
