TUP, I don't know if you're seeing the same problem I was with editing lines, but things get really hairy when you have a guy playing on two lines. I moved Byfuglien to defence before taking him off forward and then it became IMPOSSIBLE to remove him from the forward line without removing him from the lineup altogether. It was so frustrating. I actually had to exit out of GM mode and come back in and start over with editing my lines. You can manually update to the latest roster in one of the menus but I can't remember which. I'd have to look when I'm at home.

That really was a great game

Close game but Seattle wins. Just can't see them losing.

mbrg always gets so catty on Fridays

Four year extension for Dressler. That contract's got to be worth close to a million bucks. Riders have a whole lot of money tied up in their receiving corps right now....

lol well done. Perfect. That's part of his schtick though.

The Bombers get their fair share of air-time on 1290. I actually learned of the Cory Watson trade while listening to 1290. Don't get me wrong, there is a ton of Jets talk. But during Bomber season, the talk is dominated by the Bombers. There is still Jets talk when significant events happen, such as free agency and the draft, but the Bombers get a lot of play. As for Jim Rome, I'm a fan. He is good for American sports talk. You aren't getting good college sports conversation from the local guys, but Jim Rome touches on that, as well as the NFL, NBA, and MLB. It is a nice change of pace from the CFL/NHL talk that usually dominates. Yeah he talks about himself a lot but you have to understand he is a sports icon in the U.S., with millions of followers. At this point Jim Rome isn't just some radio guy, he's a brand unto himself. But I understand how he can rub some people the wrong way because he can be pretty obnoxious. Another great show on 1290 is the Business of Sports, where various agents or executives are interviewed and you get some really good "behind the scenes" stories. Not sure when it airs.

Booooooooooooo

Mostly correct. However you don't have to sign up, you can edit entries and it will just record your IP address (and anyone can see this IP address once you have edited, so it's a good idea to just sign up if you want to edit stuff, it will just show your username). There is no approval process. But if someone finds you added a really bad edit, your IP will get banned and you won't be able to edit anything anymore. Any CFL stuff you find on Wikipedia has more than likely been edited by someone who also posts on boards like these. Wikipedia editors are generally just the "super-fans" of any subject matter.

I heard "Pretty Woman" this morning so they are reaching way back

Well I mean there is really no other way to look at it. Saskatchewan has been a winning organization, the Bombers haven't. Can't really argue with that.

I listened to 97 for a bit this morning. It's a little too "classic" for me. Basically sounds like 92 did right when they switched to classic rock.

Those teams aren't even supposed to be filled in yet!! Dammit who is butchering the 2015 draft page???

As far as syndicated shows go, Gino Reda actually runs a good show where he talks about junior hockey prospects. He will have interviews with guys like Morrissey and Petan, and he'll have Craig Button on talking about prospects. I think they run it at noon on Sundays when there is no football.

Vermette... Winnik... Stewart... sure is looking like a soft trade market this season.

Just put on "Big 97.5" and they are playing Under My Thumb by Rolling Stones. Just happens to be one of my favourites so they win this round. This also marks the return of Jay Richardson to Winnipeg radio as he is doing the morning show along with Jolene Lebsack.

If we truly switched third rounders in the Kromah trade then that would mean we do not have pick 20. We traded it for 26, which we just traded. Hence, no third round pick.

My radio use is mostly dominated by TSN 1290 honestly. But even that is generally just when I'm in the car.

Come on man. Getzlaf at that price is asinine. He hasn't shown to be a 150k guy in a awhile.. Let alone 200k.. I'm not saying he is worth it. I'm just saying you can't look at it in a vacuum. What does a 150k Canadian receiver look like? That's Cory Watson's salary and Getzlaf has been far and away better than Watson every single year. What does one expect from a 150k Canadian receiver? All Canadian starters are making six figures and Getzlaf is at worst a top 3 Canadian receiver in the league. Top 3 Canadians at any position are pulling in 200k+.

He used our 4 draft picks to take Mike Morris, Adam Bestard, Peter Quinney, and Thaine Carter. If those names aren't familiar, there's a pretty good reason. They were terrible picks. Some of that is shared with Taman, as he traded some of those 2009 picks. Kelly let Gauthier, Koch, Picard and Goodspeed walk in free agency. I know Goodspeed isn't a NI, but if I don't mention him, Kelly's "I think we can re-sign all four!" doesn't quite make sense. Some of that is shared with Taman, as he could have extended these guys earlier. Kelly claimed he was going to do a better job of hanging on to our draft picks than Taman ever did. As I recall, we were still missing a pick in the 2013 draft from one of Kelly's many traded picks. None of that is shared with Taman. You'd have to do a pretty comprehensive essay to convince me Kelly added anything to this team other than bloated bombast, including the area of NI talent. I feel like when he said "Mike Kelly added to it", he means he added to the problem, not to our NI depth. But I could be wrong.

Not many Canadian receivers going over 1000 yards these days and Getzlaf has done it a couple times. It's all supply and demand. Where are the good Canadian receivers? Few and far between.

Winnipeg radio blows

Shaking glands? Which glands? Mammary glands? That sly dog.

Maybe **** LeBeau liked Ian Wild and he's not there anymore so the team is looking for different players. Who knows.

You and me both. **** the Flyers!
