I don't see it happening at all. No money in it at all for Shaw/MTS , Netflix won't give them any sort of discount. Why would Netflix want to do business with them when nearly every electronic device connected to your tv/internet already has the Netflix app installed on them? Maybe with some of the lesser streaming services they'll be interested... but the big ones have zero benefit with joining with a cable provider.

I'm finally cutting the cable (wife insisted on keeping it for this long) 66 dollars for basic cable + pvr + 2 boxes per month.... that doesn't even include the cost of adding TSN. Absolutely ridiculous pricing. It's annoying to continually call them to ask for discounts to make that price palatable. For me, I rarely watch TV shows because of the children, I found Kodi to be super reliable and worst case scenario bit torrents always work. Sporting events are ALL online and stream so darn smooth. CBC is free online and CTV can be streamed online also with ease. Really no reason to stick with the cable.

Trouba 23 points and a -8 while making 8 million per season Pionk 33 points and a +3 while making 3 million per season So far I like this trade!

I know A LOT of non tech people who are streaming these days with android boxes. A lot of my casual tech friends simply stream all sports these days. Sometimes the streams online are better then the ones you pay for!

I'm going to assume his dad taught him his manners lol

I'm wondering when Disney Plus released if a lot of families cut cable and ended up going with the Netflix / Disney Plus combo instead...

At least Arbuckle is healthy and is coming from a good system. So if I'm an Ottawa fan at least I have some positive things to look forward for. Nichols I guess goes to Toronto.... do they platoon him with MBT?

And what about Zach's salary........

Didn't the Bombers make an offer for Posey the last time he was available? Maybe they still have interest?

The guys on 1290 keep bringing this article up, while I mostly agree one point that annoys me is the reference to his play off play. They keep bringing up 2016-2017 numbers while completely ignoring that the guy is no longer the same player as he was during those years. As I posted a long time ago his numbers were great until his first injury... since then it's plummeted and he has not look the same at all. At this point their is no comparison.

Pipkin is a name that I've heard of before... that is about all the good I can say about him. I'd waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay rather go with McGuire and even Bennett if he's available before Pipkin.

He was healthy in the play offs though...

I'd hope they would only make a trade if the person has term and/or they somehow negotiate an extension before pulling the trigger.

Adams does disappear for games at a time , partially with the fault of the LaPo offense. But he's been known to drop make-able catches when we need them. If we *had* to pick between a Tasker/Walker or Adams.... I'd easily take the new since they have shown that they can play at an elite level for long periods of time.

I think it comes down to signing Adams or someone else.... they will stick with Darvin. He's a super good #2 guy.... he's just not the guy I trust to make a big play in a clutch situation or a guy who can take over a game. I hope we can sign him but then also grab someone else like Tasker...

From my memory the day he started with us we also saw a massive improvement from the o-line on top of Nichols getting the ball out early. With Willy he seemed shell shocked and the o-line succccccked and he kept hanging on to the ball and getting drilled. Pre first injury Nichols was really good, confident, would throw the ball down the field more often and definitely gave the receivers a chance for making plays. He will be remembered in a positive light similar to Kevin Glenn.

Antonio Brown lol

We've had no luck in bringing in free agent receivers.... might as well focus on other areas and role with the guys we have and recruits...

Maybe this season in the XFL it will be a nice audition for the CFL teams to pick them up... similar to the last time the XFL existed.

I think it's more of a case of the city having a much larger amount of casual fair weather fans then true NHL/Jets fans. Same thing happens with the Blue Bombers....

The eye test IMO showed that McGuire seemed much more poised and polished then all the other pre season qbs that everyone over hyped. Marve was only beloved because he could move and had a strong arm.... after years of limp noodle arm guys it was nice to see someone who didn't float every pass.

What were our other options? Arbuckle - Small sample size still un proven.... Nichols - Coming off yet another injury and wouldn't be ready for the start of the season. Prone to injuries. MBT - Healthy, a bit nutty... has not shown enough to justify a massive contract. I could understand if we had options that were more healthy... but we don't so we did the best with what was available. Any QB that we could of brought in would be considered a gamble. It's not like the early 90's where every off season their was a carousal of starting qbs that we could pick from...

And this is why I think it's tragic that the media and people ignore all the faceless people who are taken way to early.
