  1. He always kills the Jets. Probably would have been tough to get the Hawks to trade him within the division but would have been nice to see him here.
  2. They couldn't have picked a better spot, hard to avoid seeing that big ass tent if you travel along route 90 at all. Seems pretty cool.
  3. It's a different era now. They can't book guys expecting them all to be Ric Flair. They can't follow the same formula every time. I think this angle with Rollins is just fine. It's almost a parody of what the fans think of Hunter. It's funny that the same things you complain about are what Hunter uses in his persona. He's a good heel because look how worked up you get. That's the idea!
  4. Blackhawks traded Versteeg Chicago Blackhawks ‏@NHLBlackhawks 12m12 minutes ago #Blackhawks acquire D Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie, 2017 5th rounder in exchange for Versteeg and Nordstrom. http://onego.al/S6paM
  5. Pats vs Colts AFC Eagles vs Falcons NFC Colts over Eagles in the Super Bowl
  6. Banjo Bowl baby!! This is where the season turns around!! Matt Nichols! The Hero Appears!!! WE CAN'T LOSE!!!
  7. Isn't that the whole point with Rollins right now though? He weaseled his way into winning the title and he's been carrying it for quite awhile now without ever really defending it. Perfect heel champion behaviour if you ask me.
  8. Oh come on! J and J Security was great!!
  9. No chance Matt Nichols is a starting CFL QB next year. Not saying its a slam dunk or anything, but I disagree with you. I'd say there's definitely a real chance. Willy, BLM, Collaros, Ray, Cato, Crompton, Reilly, and Harris are 8 QB's who are unquestionably better than Nichols - then there's other guys like Lulay, Durant, Glenn, Franklin, Brett Smith, Drew Tate and possibly Burris hanging around. That's 15 Quarterbacks I'd take over Nichols - don't see how he gets a starting job even if guys like Durant can't recover and Burris calls it quits. Not sure Cato and Crompton have proven themselves better than Nichols at this point. Cato's barely played and I never thought Crompton was all that good... his career numbers are pretty similar to Nichols as well. Hell, Edmonton cut Crompton and kept Nichols originally. However I agree Nichols isn't likely to be anyone's starting QB to open next season.
  10. What's this thread about? I simply don't have the time to read the title or any of the previous posts.
  11. Do you understand what this actually means? I've heard it repeated over and over but the truth behind it basically makes everyone repeating it look like a total moron. This is not something to be worked up about, in fact when this happened, environmental protections on these lakes and rivers actually increased, not decreased. I can go even further if you like, but I suggest you research it yourself. I don't identify as a conservative supporter but left wing propaganda like this just makes my blood boil, because they know exactly what they're doing. They are distorting the truth of the matter deliberately to make the conservatives look bad.
  12. I think he's both
  13. Do you think some NDP supporters are backingn away fearing a Mulcair majority and moving to the liberals? I don't know, not really. Why would NDP supporters fear a NDP majority? That seems odd.
  14. Bryan married a WWE Diva Brie Bella with expensive tastes not to mention her sister Nikki dates John Cena who makes a ton of money. I don't know if that marriage can survive a 75% loss of income if Bryan can't wrestle anymore. Brie is the down to earth one. Not to mention she still works. And Bryan made a ton of money in WWE. If he leaves WWE, he's getting huge paydays in New Japan and ROH. He could survive and prosper on Indy dates alone for the next ten years. In WWE, the wrestlers have to pay their own road expenses (hotel, car, food). On the Indy scene, the promoter bears those costs and the talent also gets 100% (usually) of his merch. Some guys make more money the first couple of years out of WWE then they do in it. Good luck to Daniel then. I just hope the doctors who cleared him to wrestle have malpractice insurance. If I recall, the doctor who has cleared him is well respected. The issue is the WWE doctor who has come under suspicion by CM Punk. And that issue has impacted WWE in that they dont want to be looked at as clearing someone who shouldnt be. Its all a bit over-zealous in my opinion. Not that long ago, 60+ guys were working. Now they are hyper-sensitive, ever since Lawler had a heart attack that had nothing to do with his fitness to compete. Flair has said WWE cleared him for contact also. Sting had no issue whatsoever. Hogan wasnt cleared (supposedly). WWE is public now so I get it to a degree. Especially with broken down broke-ass jobbers suing them left and right. But thats a by-product of the NFL players getting a pay day over concussions. WWE will always be biased. Like why a guy who was well known as being straight edge (Punk) was routinely drug tested and how Hunter managed to never be tested and was huge into his 40's. Hunter seemed to quit the business as a wrestler pretty quickly. he can't be more than in his early 40's. Looks to be in terrific shape. Did he quit because of his continuing & evolving role with the WWE Board as well as overseeing developing the tv shows in NXT & WWE or was it health related? Gawd, I don't want to see Flair in a wrestling ring again. He's out of shape with a big gut, shrunken muscles, is too old & looks terrible. I want to remember The Nature Boy as he was in his prime with the long perfectly coifffed blonde hair & not the way he is now. Hunter did just wrestle at WrestleMania and looked okay during that match. However there are rumours that he has to wear adult diapers and it's not a good thing for a wrestler.
  15. If we can get to 6-12 or better, O'Shea keeps his job, IMO. However Bellefeuille is as good as gone.
  16. Edmonton had a lack of good interior Canadian OL but had a few experienced American OL around. Edmonton is probably moving to a 4 NI OL with O'Donnell back in the fold so they can afford to get rid of an American tackle. But more than anything, this trade was Greaves for a second round pick. Capers is just a throw-in. He may never even start a game for us.
  17. I'm feeling a Liberal minority coming
  18. Well Edmonton didn't even draft him so he'd probably just be playing there now anyways.
  19. Rottier cant stay in the lineup since he got to EDM He only missed 4 games over 2013-2014. Really his biggest chunk of missed time was from when Khalif Mitchell tried to rip his arm off.
  20. If they're starting an extra Canadian OL, they'll need depth. You're right, I was thinking of O'Donnell at guard but I guess they'll be playing him at tackle. So now their line could potentially be Washington - Greaves - Sorensen - Rottier - O'Donnell with Danny Groulx and Alex Krausnick coming off the bench. That's a huge upgrade over what they've been playing so far this season.
  21. I find it weird that they would make this trade when they just signed Matt O'Donnell, and Simeon Rottier is close to returning.
  22. That's a good list from the era I grew up with. Great list actually. One name I'd add would be Razor Ramon because he was just awesome.
  23. Ziggler used to be one of my favourites but I feel like he's kinda losing it. Back in early 2014 when WWE did a house show here, his match with The Miz was the best match of the night, IMO. And looking back at the card from that night, it was actually a star studded cast. Wyatt Family vs The Shield, Kane vs Daniel Bryan in a cage, Batista, Big Show, Christian, Del Rio, the Rhodes Brothers, the Bellas. Alicia Fox, Sandow, Kofi Kingston..... and the best match for sure was Ziggler vs The Miz. You could tell they really put their hearts into it.
  24. Hey, we picked him up in the 5th or 6th round, got years of service out of him, and have now flipped him for a starter-ish, and a second rounder. That's pretty impressive. Sure its not a bad result, better than cutting him in his first training camp like most 6th round picks. But I'd rather have a competent starting left guard than a second round pick at the moment.
  25. Wasn't Greaves a defensive tackle? I find it hard to believe that he was drafted with the intent of him playing tackle. That's what was said at the time. Apparently, he has really long arms... I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers stuff like this. Mack/Lapo definitely said that they thought Greaves could potentially be a tackle down the road.
