the more I think about it, the more I think the draft picks shoulda been conditional. If Hall bolts for the NFL, then they get the 2nd rounder as a sort of compensation, and we get a 4th, but if he re-signs there, then this REALLY looks silly on our part.....so no draft picks should move...

Nah, Burke can't wear it all. Some, but not all. More like f-- you Burke, f-- you Joe Mack, f-- you Casey Creehan, and especially f-- you BOD for hiring Burke and Botch Co. Hell, while I'm at it f-- you Lyle Bauer for starting this implosion by hiring your clown shoe of a friend 5 years ago. Go Offseason Go! Your post, in general, is accurate, as Burke certainly doesn't take all the blame....but the bolded part might be the MOST accurate thing of all...

Can not wait for December 1st, and the off season to officially be in full swing. Let's just move on with prepping for 2014 already...

I'm not totally sure how I feel about all this just yet, but I gotta think that Walters did his diligence and this was the only deal available. If it was the ONLY deal you could make before Weds, then so be it, but I'm not convinced that it'll work out for us. There is a lot of speculation that Neufeld is very injury prone and may not play that much longer. And giving up the 2nd rounder for a 4th is really really dumb.

I'unno.....I was serious...

I'm all about the Riders losing...that's all I've got left!!

Willy plus a pick - 2nd round - and this is done and done. Ya, I'd do that...

Durant is big time under fire out there....and Taman is their GM. I don't see it as that far fetched...

Next year's roster is gonna look some kinda different....I'll promise you that.

I actually agree with this, but no way do I trade Hall for peanuts. I'm not a huge Durant fan, but I think I'd take him and their 1st rounder next year for Hall and a later round pick...

A pre-selected pool of candidates chosen by whom? Someone who actually knows what the hell they're talking about (ie - not fans) -- Whether it's the government, or whatever. Fans are morons and can't be left in charge... I wouldn't let any government agents near these selections. You may as well keep the board the way it is if that's the case. The city and province both appoint board members currently. Some strong arguments for communist dictatorship here from some of the most conservative posters. I'm curious who people feel should be at the very top of the food chain. At the end of the day, SOMEONE has to have final say. There has to be a top of the pyramid.......so who should it be??

Oi vey......Hall throws the softest, most brutal, blind pass right to Trouba...he didn't have to do anything but walk in and shoot. Puck was on edge and knuckled on Dubnyk, who had no chance on the play. That's all on Hall, and Eakins is going to beat him with bag of valencia oranges for it...

Only way this idea works is if there is a pre-selected pool of "candidates" that the fans get to choose from. If it's an open-nomination situation where the fans get full selection on the board, God help us all.....

at this point, I'd start him ahead of what we've got...

Bullshit. Don't tell me we can't afford him. We've got just as much money as anyone, even if a lot of it's "hush hush" under-the-table stuff. If we've gotta overpay to get the right guy, then they'll do it. I'm certain Miller knows the story, and the mucky-mucks have learned their lesson. They'll target the right guy and make sure he's taken care of.

I don't care what kinda dollars you gotta pay DD, or if you gotta get him an "Ambassador" job with a Crown corp, and throw a bunch of $$ under the table. Whatever it takes.

We parked for free at the BPs on Pembina, had a few pre-game pops and a bite before the game, and then walked to and from the stadium. Worked out really well, actually, and isn't that far of a walk. Seems there's lots of options like that...

I dunno.I guess we'll see as time goes on, won't we? I make it to a couple of games a year because I live in Calgary. So, what happens in Winnipeg really has no affect on me. I just know here in Calgary that the C Trains run right to McMahon Stadium & carry thousands of fans on Game Day. There's also places to park around the stadium so fans have a choice to take the train or car. As far as Corus Apps go, I have a Blackberry with another 3 months to go on my agreement. With a new phone I can start downloading apps like that. I have the Corus app on my BB (old 7.1 OS) and use it all the time...

I'm not disagreeing with the ratio, but what I'm saying is that none of us actually knows who's making the decisions on that stuff. I mean, we ASSUME Burke does because he SHOULD be, but we really don't know anything. I think there's a lot of people making decisions and a lot of bad ones are being made.

this is why I don't really care for all the Tim Burke hate...sure, he's gonna eat some, but there's a LOT of people to blame here.

I think it's interesting we haven't heard a peep out of Miller's office in awhile....he's due.
