  1. Lol I just heard the Ultimate Warriors Theme song in the background of the shootouts....
  2. I have not listened to any interviews with Maurice as of late, has he made any mention of Laine slumping?
  3. This is where I struggle to really believe any of this. I never read any real life examples
  4. Outside of hardcore hockey fans and "hockey" families ... I don't really think anyone else even knows what the WHL is. It's a niche audience that is very different from the Moose and I don't see why both can't succeed. It's not like these teams need to draw 10 000 fans or anything.
  5. What if the guy doesn't want to play in Winnipeg anymore?
  6. *Usually* police agencies do have an age limit for when recruits can join and I don't know the specifics for Goossen but with Surrey getting their own police force in the next year or so this may be his only chance at getting on. In the short term he'll make less money, but he'll be pulling in 6 figures within a year or two and then can make that for the next 30 years. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with salary cap because if he were to hit the open market I think many teams including BC would of thrown good money at him.
  7. What do you do for work and how do they pay differently based on gender at your place of employment?
  8. Well I'd rather he retire then go play in Riderville! I wonder if this changes the plan with Walters?
  9. Different crowds... as a casual hockey fan I would zero interest in driving across town to watch WHL. As a family man who wants to take my kids out without breaking the bank, the Moose is much more interesting for our family of four to go. I do think if the MTS Center was somewhere more safe and family friendly that the Moose crowds would definitely be higher. WHL may do well if out of towners are willing to drive in to watch some hockey. I don't think a large amount of people in town really give a crap about WHL when they can watch the Jets in person or at a local bar.
  10. Is Za Pizza still in City Place? If so then Konz will have a tough time competing. I don't think the cone gimmick is anything that special that it will bring people back...
  11. I'd rather the team sign an unknown at receiver and spend any "extra" funds on retaining our free agent o-line guys...
  12. Roosevelt will get paid well. Dressler won't be breaking any banks.
  13. The back up receivers were better then our starters... I thought Dressler is a FA so why would we cut him?
  14. So what you are saying is you vote for Cameron based on longevity? Would you also vote for Westwood over Medlock because he played more seasons with the Blue and Gold?
  15. Jon Ryan was so bad that he ended up in the NFL for 12 years.... A kind reminder that Jon Ryan had a 50.6 yard average in his last season with the Blue.... Cameron only hit 46.9 as his highest in his many years. If I had to pick one of the two guys to play for an all time great time I'd easily choose Jon Ryan in his prime over Bob Cameron. I can see why people would want Cameron for sentimental reasons, but as a pure punter Jon Ryan was way better.
  16. Dickenson is a good hire, I only feel bad because the guy is going to be handicap with a terrible offense and will have a massive uphill battle to fight.... They almost have to sign Reilly to have any kind of chance.
  17. Or I can continue living life in the real world and live in a place where gender pay gap does not exist... feel free to share JCon of your workplace and how they pay men more then ladies. That I would be interested in.
  18. The pay gap doesn't exist... every paper I read has said that men gravitate towards jobs that pay more, while ladies tend to gravitate to jobs that don't pay as much. Human nature that men are more into the math and science while the ladies are more into administrative and health care jobs. It's human nature that women are more likely wanting to take maternity leave then the father , this is a massive factor when they claim "pay gap differentials". You can't say that scientifically Men and Women are build the same, so of course the end results of who makes more won't be equal 50/50. I myself have never seen two people doing the exact same job where one gender was paid more then another. I'd love to see real world examples of someone working at Wal-Mart making 15 dollars because they were a male , meanwhile a female was given only 10 dollars in pay because she was a female. Nobody ever gives these kinds of examples because in North America this does not exist at all. The old their is 85% of CEO's being male bla bla bla... I don't buy any of that crap. As I said before private enterprise companies will hire whoever can make them the most money. More men are qualified for upper level management because scientifically men are build to be better leaders. I definitely can agree with Kelowna because I've never worked anywhere or seen anywhere where a man was paid more because of his gender. Studies are bull **** and you can find a study backing anything you want.
  19. Why would Glenn go to Saskatchewan to get beat up?
  20. I can't imagine they are going to let guys walk away, I'm sure the team has made offers to both Goose and Chungh and it's going to come down to another team offering them more cash then what we can afford. If the team is desperate for a receiver they could always sign Duron Carter lol
  21. Long overdue... but at least they have Hitchcock to change the team around right!
  22. Who is going to QB the Riders? Can the defense carry them without Jones?
  23. To further add to the Farhan interview, it sounded that he was at the KC Chiefs game with Hustler... so I really have doubts that a guy who was away for a weekend of fun who just came back home today was really doing some deep investigative work on LaPo....
  24. What the fack are they doing in Edmonton? Spend 4.5 million on a guy with only 30 games to his name???? So how is Noeller and 17to85 going to spin this in a positive way?? How can Edmonton woes not be blamed on the GM??? Brossoit is making what again? 650 k?
  25. I listened to the interview and it was very clear about it being about the HC job. That being said after listening to the interview it was 100% clear to me that Farhan has some kind of agenda and numerous times mentioned that it was his opinion. I felt much better after listening to Farhan whine and cry as if he was a Rider fan complaining about the Bombers (though never lumping Ottawa in the same boat). Even Rick Ralph said the obvious "Why would you let your rival take your coach and leave you in the same hole?". I don't know what was up Farhan's ass but he made it seem like this was catastrophic by the Bombers and that the CFL is going to suffer for not letting people go for promotions. It was very clear that he was speaking for himself and made a much bigger deal of it. He didn't even mention anything about his sources and speaking with LaPo, he only said that O'Shea supported LaPo going for the job.
