TSN broadcasting the Bomber game now?
Atomic replied to kelownabomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I call BS on thisI read it on Twitter. Yeah but it was from Drew Edwards. He's a big time Ticats homer and cuts down Winnipeg whenever he can. -
Rather see the NDP get in than Trudeaumania

at least you can plan around a guy who stays healthy. What good is a guy being better if he can't play? You're still dipping into your depth while he's on the IR and it throws the rest of the roster out of sync when you have to shuffle things around. I guess the question is whether you'd rather settle for guaranteed mediocrity or take a risk on someone talented. But you've never struck me as much of a risk taker so I get where you're coming from.

Yep, Game of Thrones and True Detective are the best shows going these days. Not sure what the criticism of Emilia Clarke is all about, I think she plays the part perfectly.

Take a look at the Canadian OL in free agency this past offseason and its pretty easy to see why Neufeld still has a job. Hey, Gord Hinse can stay healthy. Maybe we should have cut Neufeld and re-signed Hinse...

It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...

Pretty sure he actually did play OL in his younger days.

Atomic replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
I have no idea if Cyrus still writes, lol, I just assumed he was still the main guy. Always interesting to read your perspectives on the wrestling world. Not sure I agree with all of it, especially the part about pushing HBK over Bret being the wrong move... HBK and DX was the best thing to ever happen to WWE in my opinion. Interesting stuff though. Not sure Vince had much say over "letting" Shane quit. If someone wants to quit there's not much you can do to stop them other than throwing cash at them, and even that doesn't always work... Especially when the guy is already rich. -

Of course I respect your opinion as well, you obviously know what you are talking about. I just don't think you give Vince, Hunter, and the rest of them enough credit for their ability to stay ahead of the curve and manipulate their fans. They are not dummies, I can promise you that. They know what the fans are saying, and they certainly know what the insiders like Cyrus are saying. The fact is, they can't push everybody at once. Fans complain that Wyatt, Ziggler, Neville, Daniel Bryan (pre-injury) and more are being held back. But someone has to lose, and it can't be Kane and Big Show every time. To push Rollins, you have to let him beat guys like Ziggler. When Rollins starts losing, fans will inevitably say he pissed off Vince and is being held back. But the truth is that every wrestler has to participate in the cycle, so that means some will always be up while others are down. I think you touched on this when you mentioned Ambrose. He is being pushed, for sure! But yet, all he does is lose. Isn't that kind of interesting? -

I mean, you think you know, but you really don't. I know you are in the "Wrestling world", but the fact is you don't actually know what goes on behind the scenes in WWE. I'm sure you've heard certain things, but you don't know the conversations between management, you really don't. Everything you're saying has been written by the so-called "insiders" before, it's nothing new to me. And sometimes those guys are proven to be woefully incorrect when they try to tell us what's happening or going to happen. And I'm certainly not saying they listen to who the fans want to be "pushed." They listen to who the fans THINK is being pushed, and they use that to their advantage. -

Atomic replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
This is incorrect. I am not an "angry fan". And no, that is also not the "new kayfabe". But nice try. I know you're not an angry fan but I see the same thing everywhere. And yes, it is the new kayfabe. It is blatantly obvious that they listen to the fans talking about who is getting pushed, held back, etc. and they play off that. It is incredibly obvious. Hunter even talks about it in the Stone Cold podcast. They are working the fans and the fans don't get it yet. -
I'm still just hoping for one of Stafford or Frolik. Not sure which is better for the team.

Atomic replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
I love the angry fan refrain "Reigns is the chosen one." He clearly is not. Notice how he does not have the championship and didn't even win Money in the Bank. He got used by WWE to push Rollins over. I don't know why some fans still don't get that. The plan all along was to make it look like they're pushing Reigns and then pull the switch and have it all be about Rollins in reality. The "new kayfabe" is messing with fans through these "locker room stories" that we always hear about.... Vince loves Reigns, Vince is holding back whoever, etc. Fans think they know the real deal behind everything but they totally don't get that they're just playing into the "new kayfabe". I find it so funny that the hardcore fans don't realize this. -
I don't think there's any cause to be concerned unless he actually re-injures it. Some pain and swelling is still normal, remember he is only about 8 months off the injury. Seems like he's right on track to me.

Stanley Cup : Blackhawks vs Lightning
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
We ended up getting Jimmy Lodge, JC Lipon, Jan Kostalek and Tucker Poolman in that trade. 4 solid prospects. It's not like we would have won the Cup if Oduya was here. I just don't understand the thought process of some fans. -

Ed Belfour? Stanley Cup, Calder Trophy, 6 time all star, 2 time Vezina, 4 time William M Jennings Trophy... -

What! The Miz is great, you're mistaken. Great on the mic, great in the ring. Big Show is a joke either way. -
Stanley Cup : Blackhawks vs Lightning
Atomic replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Pretty incredible run. In a league where a team is hard pressed to find one superstar, the Blackhawks have managed to gather at least 3 legitimately top tier players. They built the team around the right guys. -

Atomic replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
There aren't too many true heels these days. The Authority, Seth Rollins, and Sheamus really seem like the only guys with enough bad charisma to really piss off the crowd. Maybe The Miz too. Big Show gets booed but I'm pretty sure the crowd legitimately just hates him. Seems like the crowd is split down the middle for everyone else. -
First Cut Down Day - list of players released
Atomic replied to Jacquie's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Eight beers in 1 hr 40 mins is a pretty solid feat. It's harder than it sounds. i suppose in thinking about it the stop and go of shot after shot would be something, vs say shotgunning or just chugging back a full beer non stop representing 12 shots in that less then minute. I guess in my head im trying to divide it up and it'd be 4 beers roughly in 50 mins. I might try this challenge, anyone know where to get cheap plastic shot glasses in bulk? Dude just use the same shot glass 100 times! -
Not really. Both are converted DL with one training camp under their belts. Griffiths was with the Argos for last year's TC. Everett being a 6th round pick doesn't mean a whole lot.
-
The actual number is 75 right now though. Non counters will become counters when the season begins.
