Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Atomic replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The commissioner will not fix the problems in Toronto. -
A couple years ago the CFL established a rule that if you failed a drug test pre-draft then you forfeit your eligibility until the next season. Has nothing to do with the number of games in the NFL or anything else. Like Jacquie said, there is a deadline. And the reason they aren't lumped into one is because then you could potentially have one player waiting a month+ for no reason when they are ready to play now (because you would have to wait until the deadline to do the draft regardless of whether other players are available). Anyways I wouldn't use anything higher than a 5th round pick on this guy. Good athlete but likely destined to be a career special teamer. "Lasted five seasons".... Fails to mention that Konrad died of a brain aneurysm last year...

Yes but its not on the commissioner to fix attendance in specific markets. He can support the Argos but they need to solve this problem themselves. It's no more the commissioner's responsibility than the poor attendance in BC is. -
Expecting BC to win in a close game.
-
Not surprising. He will get a 2 year deal between 2 and 3 million per season.
-
Yeah and overanalyzing every tiny detail of the guy's day is just as bad. What exactly do you think happened in that video that has you so concerned? He's blind and can't see the limo?
-
Then would we even exist?
-
Trouba will never be captain here or anywhere. Yes, I'd like to keep Little in the fold. We do not have anyone in development right now who will be ready to take on the 2C role by the end of Little's deal. It does no good to pay two wingers 8M+ and have no depth down the middle.
-
You absolutely do not have to have an A before being a captain, and having an A is no guarantee you will ever be captain.

Scheifele's contract is looking like one of the best bargains in the league. Because he signed before he really broke out this year. We may not have that luxury with others.
-
@bb1 FYI this seems to work again. May have just been a temporary glitch on their site.
-
Impossible to say right now, this next season will reveal more. But I'd expect that 8 years at 10M/year is not out of the question if he is looking like a 40 goal/80 point kind of guy. Ehlers, Lowry, Trouba, Morrissey and Armia are all going to be RFAs after this season. And Laine the year after that. Lots of money to be paid out. The seven-year rebuild is going to start looking pretty hollow if we can't afford to keep the guys we've developed.

The unpleasant truths guy should take the hint and start a more profitable business.
-
Covfefe, ketchup on steak, two scoops of ice cream. More liberals looking for something where there is nothing.
-
Definitely more reasonable than the 13.25M that was originally being tossed around. It's obviously a high salary but he is the best player in the league and should be paid as such.

Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs Calgary

People are happy to write off our offensive output because it was Sask, so yeah that seems fair. -
No, no.... news is more like milk. http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-bundesbank-gold-idUKKBN15O192

PM Trudeau is more interested in how the outside world views him than he is in the well-being of Canadian citizens. He's made this abundantly clear.
-
What if you're down by a touchdown and you are driving the field trying to match and Deon Beasley gets a pick-6?
-
I'm sure he's being truthful about Scheifele and Wheeler but it's tough to take these articles seriously... I'm sure he took the biggest salary and term that was being offered to him and that's why he's here.

Favourite course in the province is Clear Lake. They keep it in excellent shape and it has every amenity you could hope for. Part of it comes right down next to the lake. Total beauty. Falcon Lake used to my favourite before I golfed Clear Lake. Another beautiful course that's always well-maintained. Hecla is awesome, of course. A bit of a hassle to get there but it's usually not busy for that reason. Gorgeous. Honourable mentions to: Teulon, Pinawa, Granite Hills. Links at the Lake by Gimli won't knock your socks off but it's a decent course as well.

Maybe you guys should get your information from articles that aren't five years old, for starters. The Germans are well aware of what gold is in the U.S. and released detailed information about it in 2013. Furthermore they began repatriation of their gold in 2016 and for the first time have more of their gold held in Frankfurt than in New York. There are good reasons to not want ALL their gold within their borders. And when they do want some of their gold back, it's not like driving to your buddy's house and putting his couch in the back of your truck.

Carmichael played SAM all through camp and didn't get to practice at HB until Leggett was healthy. He's going to be better next game.

Really? The hold looked perfect to me. Gets it down, turns it, and get his hands out of the way in time for the kick.
