Yep they were terrible except for all the wins. Classic Ticat fan viewpoint.

Every coach out there is either a raw rookie or has been run out of town somewhere.

On a crazy scoring pace. Best points per game in the entire QMJHL (2.04)... 43 points in 21 games. This guy is ready for prime time. He'll be on the Jets roster next season without a doubt.

Maybe you're right but I'll bet that I am and Montreal is good again next year! As always!

Sask is making changes but are they the right moves? The team was 8-2 when Durant went down. Don't you think they might be overreacting by reportedly firing both their coordinators? Any GM can hire and fire guys every year. Does that make him a better GM than one who sticks by his guys? I'm not saying the Bombers are right if they don't make any changes, but the simple act of making changes isn't always the right move.

Sorry but none of this makes any sense. They played Eastern teams 8 times and Western teams 10 times, just like every other team in the league. Furthermore their 9-9 record would have made the playoffs in the West (they swept BC so would have the tiebreaker). As for the last statement, well, I don't really know what that means. "It doesn't make them a good team, it makes them good enough"? OK. I say a team that finishes .500 or better and wins a playoff game while also having a top 3 defence and an all-Canadian OL, is a pretty good team. But I guess your definition differs from mine.

Als have a good OL and Defense. A solid running back combined with a few completions from 747 Crompton could get them a .500 record Don't forget - they were in position to eliminate y'all from the playoffs - last game of the season Als have a good OL and Defense. A solid running back combined with a few completions from 747 Crompton could get them a .500 record Don't forget - they were in position to eliminate y'all from the playoffs - last game of the season An extremely average QB, Green a year older, Carter gone, Garcia will leave, Thorpe may leave, aging defense, lots of FAs, money concerns, power structure between Popp and owner still unclear and, oh yeah, there's Tom Higgins. Every year we hear this. "Montreal is about to be on the decline!" Never happens. Maybe they aren't dominant like they were a few years back but they are a playoff team every year. I have no reason to believe next year will be any different.

You're not making any sense, max power. Why would a minority complain about affirmative action? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Nailed it!

I can honestly say, I don't think there are going to be any changes.

Is that actually Drew Willy?

Interesting article on this topic from the "Globe and Mail" (whatever that is): http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/a-textbook-example-of-competition/article21834658/

Wow. Hutch is the real deal. How do you not start him again? He is the only reason the Jets got a point out of that game.

In part, It has to do with opportunities for inner city youth (especially males) throughout the US. So why not baseball? Just as much opportunity for black kids to play baseball as there is for them to play football. Yet the ratios are wildly different. Why? Don't give me some lame partial explanation, you said there is a clear explanation, so let's hear it.

But I mean, 4-6 weren't so great in that regard either. Luke Skywalker was just about the lamest character you can imagine. Man I want to watch Star Wars now.

I was referring to his claim that it is easy to explain why there are more black people in the NBA/NFL, etc.

Basically it just shows that you can't make that leap... 10% of the general population being gay has no bearing whatsoever on the percentage of gay athletes. What is the percentage of black people in the USA vs. the percentage of black people in the NBA? Doesn't correlate very closely does it? Or the percentage of black people in the NHL for that matter. No you can't make that leap in any reliable manner. So your point re: stats is correct. But the thing is, sexual orientation is different then race. You don't have a lot of black people in the NHL because there aren't a lot of black people tuned into it or growing up playing it. Or blacks playing lacrosse. Sexual orientation though is different. If you have a pulse, you could be gay. That's why the barriers are going to go down so fast. Thank you for saying this. Yes, there are more Afro-American people in the NFL than in the general population, but the reason for that can be clearly explained. Not so much for sexual orientation, but some people can't quite seem to grasp that. Explain it then

Except the ending of both was awful. "I've got the higher ground"/"Into exile I must go" were two very good example of how bad a writer Lucas is. Yes you're right, closely followed up by "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Boring. Can we go back to taking personal shots at each other?

Sure, it seems harmless to allow a gay guy to play, but what's next? Air Bud? It's called a slippery slope, people.

The "Yoda vs The Emperor" intermixed with the "Anakin vs Obi-Wan" scenes at the end of Episode 3 is the finest moment of the entire saga IMO. Give me something that rivals that and I'll be happy. Also, no Gungans or Ewoks. Or whatever those things were that George Lucas put into the new Indiana Jones. God I'm glad that man is not involved with the new trilogy.
