The douchiest of pretentious douchebags... #Footy #GetEffed

This seems like a really solid move. No "part time" owner. This is an owner that can afford to take the loss each year. Hopefully they get outta the SkyDoom and into something more CFL-ready.

Plz change thread title to: "Penton: Rumour Mongering To Make 17to85s Head Pop Off", for accuracy...

Suber's a great guy for ST and he'll be huge in the locker room. Can't underestimate that. If he earns a starting spot on D in TC, then more power to him. Welcome back, Suberman...

There is not even a question that Flutie, Moon, Dunigan, Ray, Garcia and Dickenson were all better. Probably some older guys, too. Calvillo did some good things because of a superhuman supporting cast, but he's massively overrated.

Collaros to Winnipeg might be the next Barrin Simpson to Winnipeg. Less than a minute after FA opens.....

Since when do fans dictate front office personnel decisions? I'm not sure if our fans are THE most entitled and self-important, or if it just seems that way...

Who gives a **** when they tell us...? I'm more concerned that they make the right pick, rather than rush it just because some impatient people have their panties twisted. Chill out...there's good times with the Jets right now. Let that carry you till there's more Bombers news...

His value is on ST...tho he does have an understated value on offense. That guy is always out there busting his ass. Need a lot more like him.

Love Frenchie Pontbriand...that guy should have a checkered lumberjack's coat and toque as a uniform. One of our great, unheralded ST guys who never stops trying, no matter what. Wish more guys had his heart and determination.

Lots of ST guys...

Milt won the game with one of those patented seam-routes that he was so famous for. We were pretty drunk watching that game on TV in Brandon, then went to celebrate the win at The Roadhouse, and ended up getting tossed at about 1am when one of the people we were with mouthed off to a bouncer. SIgh. It was a night...

nothing will be confirmed till Walters is back from his recruiting trip down south...

From here on out, I demand that the kicker be called Liam Arugula......

our post-Ritchie era thru to Doug Berry is full of some truly awful memories of games vs Montreal. One of the only highlights (...and it's BARELY a highlight...) was the game from 2004 (2005??) when we won something like 52-45 (??)...and Kamau Peterson actually called it on the old OB.com 'cause they'd apparently designed a gameplan for that specific game, all the way back in April of that year. Sigh...not a good era.....f*** everything about Calvillo and the Als...

In fairness, if you were old enough to remember the early 2000s................

AC benefited a ton from having such a good team around him, primarily one of the best OL of all time.

Only because he wasn't good enough to play NFL. Flutie, Dickenson and possibly Ray are better QBs with shorter track records...

to hell with that guy for everything he did to us in the mid-2000s. I couldn't possibly be happier to hear he'll be gone...

Well Tibesar seems really interesting at any rate. Hell of a lot better option than Etch...

Frig.......... :s

Absolutelty NO WAY we get outbid by anyone. WBB vs NFL, end of story.

Really need St John's to start spitting more guys up (hopefully soon...) to provide depth, and then let the drafting provide the top end talent. Tanking this year would be real good for them, to give 'em a shot at a legit superstar.

the Jets have a solid NHL -level 2nd line in Scheiffle/Kane/Frolik, and Little/Ladd/Wheeler is a serviceable 2nd Line and pretty good 3rd Line. They do not have a legit top line right now. On D, Enstrom/Trouba is a serviceable top pairing, but they're not really legit yet...too young. Give it a couple years, and they'll be there. Bogo/?? is alright as a 2nd pairing, tho ZB is massively overrated based on his draft year. As for Pavelec, I think the guy is a lot better than people give him credit for. He gets so little help in front of him, it's a tough slog night in and night out. They just don't play well in front of him. Bottom line, Jets fans really tend to overrate the talent level on this team. Noel got far more out of guys like Ladd (ppg...seriously??!), Little and Wheeler than anyone has any right to. If people are patient and they let the drafting take its course, then things will get better. Need to remember that you basically inherited an expansion team. It was a complete shambles, save for a couple pieces, so it's going to take a long time to build this thing up to where it needs to be in order to be competitive. Going from the abhorrent SouthLeast Division to the ultra-competitive West/Central didn't help people's understanding of the situation...

the thing about Calgary is there's SO much private money, and because of this, a lot of stuff goes on under the table, and behind the scenes. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there was a bunch of stuff happening that isn't being reported...
