That was more my point, in a 10 min. scrimmage Nichols is only in there for 5 minutes. How does any QB establish timing with RB's and receivers in that amount of time? Do you think this was the only practice this week? This was the third practice this week. I know dat

I thought Clitty could take a licking but I guess I was wrong. Too bad. That's probably it for his career.

Haha called it. Actually not that small of a line, though. Perreault isn't big but Burmi's physical game is underrated and Ehlers is actually pretty strong on his skates as well. Tons of offensive potential with a line like that. Like a slightly larger version of the triplets in TB. Let's not go nuts...

I find it very exciting that Crompton is starting -

Ok so the centers are now? Lowry/Scheif/Copp/?/ Stafford plays with Scheif and Wheeler? Where does Perrault play? Could see Burmi or Little still at centre. I don't think anything is set in stone. Perreault is one of those guys who can slot in anywhere on LW or C and I'd like to see him with Scheifele and Wheeler but he could add a lot to a line like Perreault/Burmi/Ehlers.

Do you believe a coalition of NDP/Liberals could be an effective government?

I could see a minority by any of the 3. And the minority will just change hands like musical chairs for the next 5 years.

Too funny. Every news outlet has declared a clear winner in the debate and it's a different guy in each one

Wow that is cheap!! Amazing deal really. I love the Xbox One. Rare Replay is a good time but it's unfortunate they couldn't include Goldeneye or anything from the Donkey Kong Country series.

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful. I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job. My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year). And you are making an assumption based on one anomalous outcome. If you took say, 1000 university grads and compared their median income to the average high school grad's income, then you would have a meaningful comparison. I'm not at all denying that the average university grad earns more than the average high school grad. I'm saying someone who graduates from high school can achieve the same level or greater success than someone with a college education. There are lots of very well-paying jobs out there for non-college graduates. Most of these college athletes who graduate with "sham degrees" as someone called them, will have no trouble at all finding a job and doing just fine. -
Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.How does that make it more or less predictable? I'm just suggesting Moore and Denmark switch spots. No you're not. You just said you don't care where they line up, you just want Moore on deep routes and Denmark on short routes. Which is silly and predictable because the defence knows exactly what they're doing on every play. No team in pro football runs an offence that way. What's with the attitude and nit-picking man? Have you ever noticed that Moore is almost always catching passes up the middle this season? Well I'm suggesting Denmark take on that role instead. I'm suggesting they switch roles. I get it. We've seen Denmark try to play that possession role and he's okay at it but not as good as Moore. Likewise Moore isn't as good on the deep stuff. Denmark struggles to get open for some reason, other than on really deep routes. He's also not much of a YAC guy. It may or may not help reduce Moore's injuries to switch their roles but it would also make both receivers and the offence in general less effective. IMO.

It's funny how people come up with their little narratives about players. "Byfuglien is great for 20 games, average for 40, and costs you the game in the other 20!" Like are you kidding me? Not backed up by any facts whatsoever, just "feels that way", right? What a joke. Bottom line if you want Buff traded you're a racist.

That sounds impossible, is there a set of numbers that don't have an average?No but this isn't accounting and you can't learn politics by playing Number Munchers. So the ndp and liberals and communists are exactly the same? The conservatives and reform are exactly the same? How is 17to18 claiming that harper brought the torys further away from the far right of there is no gradient. Just a black and white set of binary ideologies? Not at all. There is far left, left, right, and far right. But there is no centre. And anyone claiming to be "centre" is kidding themselves.

I understand the financial implications but I'd still like us to re-sign Byfuglien. He is such a unique talent. Often he alone is worth the price of admission. Inconsistent? Bah. Every player is inconsistent to some degree. Blake Wheeler regularly goes 15 games between scoring goals but you don't hear anyone whining ad nauseam about that. Maybe it's because Byfuglien looks different...

Steve Morley's an idiot lol

There is no centre. People just say centre because no one wants to be known as left wing or right wing. Every person and organization leans one way or the other. Centre is just what right wing people say who don't want to associate with the homophobic, pro life, pro gun mentality that is associated with the far right. Same thing on the left for those who dont want to be associated with the hippies, communists, bleeding heart no jail no punishment types.
