I doubt that they will have Golden Eye or a Wrestling game (licensing issues). I'd imagine it's mostly Nintendo first party games.

I haven't followed anything at all but have they increased the penalties for dealing drugs in Manitoba? Usually when it comes to crimes that involves losing out on that sweet tax money... the punishments are much more strict.

Also studies have shown that adding an extra second or two for an amber light and red lights going both ways massively decreased accidents at busier intersections.... but doing that doesn't generate money.

My own which consists of me driving through the intersection every day. I used common sense and 7 years of getting mad at buses running red lights to turn left onto Portage for them to only block the intersection and making us all miss the light. Each bus that does this extends my drive 3 minutes. I also used basic math... on average when driving from Memorial to Main street via Portage I will sit at each set of lights and watch the light cycle from green to red and then back to green. Factor in that only when I hit Main street is when traffic starts to flow. About 12 sets of lights in total ... I'd assume the crosswalk would be 45 seconds to cross at P& M. I'll have to wait an extra 45 seconds for the left turn arrow to turn green.... 45 seconds times 12 = 9 minutes. Basic math.

Morrow was really solid last season, I think lots of guys are really off their game and haven't locked it in yet. If this is the worst the team can look then I'm not complaining.

I see Dressler going back to Saskatchewan for a season and retiring

Easy revenue generator... it's just like how they have photo radar vans in bizarre places where little to no pedestrians cross , yet ignore the areas near the school which have many kids crossing but very little people speeding.

30 seconds during rush hour is a bold face lie and embarrassing that they would try to pass it off that your commute would only extend 30 seconds. It's stuff like that that immediately dismiss anything they say because if they are willing to lie about that then I can't take anything else they say seriously. If they used real times such as 5 - 15 minutes extra then I'd at least respect them for being honest. The real time will be closer to 10 - 15 minutes which for me is a massive deal since it already takes me 35 minutes to drive to pick up my children.

In fairness some people are complete morons and drift in two lanes while completely focused on their cell phones. I understand the reasons it's just unfortunate that some people really make it hard to defend cell phone usage while driving. I would like to see the police enforce more distracted driving outside of cell phone usage... when driving on the very slow Portage Ave trying to cross Main I tend to see some really weird stuff where people are clearly not paying attention. In the last while I've seen several times people typing on a laptop in the passenger side , ladies doing make up, reading books, and my favorite which I will never complain a couple of ladies trying on different tops while crawling in rush hour. That last one was the only time I did not complain about waiting at a set of lights 3 times in order to cross

I'm not voting based on Brodbeck being a loud mouth. I do find overall the Yes people are much more "annoying" because they are doing the old shout louder to prove that they are correct. I find a lot more close mindedness with the Yes folks who don't like hearing both sides of the argument. The advertisements are also soooo lame on the radio .. I'd be much more open to changing my mind if they were honest and wouldn't use terrible arguments to back them up. Telling me my drive will only be 20 seconds longer , suggesting that their is an issue with handicap people crossing the intersection, suggesting that people would go downtown because the intersection will be easier to cross, suggesting that people will walk from the Forks all the way down to the intersection and then head to Portage place... that crap instantly makes me roll my eyes and realize that it's all crap. I'd respect Bowman more if this was a part of a complete transformation of downtown such as zero-tolerance pan handling & drunk in public , clean out the drug dealers, new ideas for better traffic flow, closing Portage Place mall, buy out the crappy drinking places for the bums etc....

I find my friends equally distracted when trying to find music in the car... For myself I have a smart watch to check my messages and for me to be distracted....

Nylander wants 8 million per year.... no thanks

I'd assume the league doesn't care and most likely he'll just get fined and lose his license...

It's not a bad idea, what I wish would be for all buses to avoid going down Portage... the amount of times they cross into Portage from one of the side streets and then end up blocking 3 - 4 lanes is ridiculous. It definitely would help the flow since from that alone I have to sit at least 2 - 3 extra sets of lights during rush hour...

Awwwwwwwww I want to go .... I am jealous!

This all makes sense now! They open Portage and Main to slow down traffic even more.... they then have a bunch of policemen dressed as civilians busting everyone for texting while waiting 10 minutes to cross the intersection.... it all makes sense

All the experts rave about our depth and how tough it is that we can't play them all.

I think Bighill is going to get paid at any costs to come back. I think Chung will also get paid. Hopefully by us! I agree on Randle being gone... Leggett will be tough to cut if he is healthy.

Jesus Christ this thread is a great example of how crappy the forum is getting...

Floyd - This happens every season... fantasy trades and over reactions. Usually mid way through the season we like to pick a few players who are the main reason (even if they only play 5 minutes a game) for why the Jets are losing. Usually a guy like Mark Stuart who barely plays but is blamed for all our woes. This season it will be Kulikov or maybe Ehlers might get blamed for not notching 30 goals....

I was not aware that you were a Rider fan!

I'm just surprised that they couldn't even get a 4th rounder or something for the guy ?

This will help come this year of Free Agency... I assume we lose Chungh .... I can't see Hardrick leaving... the guy loves it here and shouldn't command that much of a big salary.

Streveler has a big arm , did anyone not watch the games he started? Lots of zip and can toss a 30 yard pass effortless (unlike Nichols).

If the underground were to be closed that would be catastrophic during winter time and many food businesses would get a hit. Many a times I walked underground comfortably to the food court or to city place and hit up the food court there. I would not do this at all if I was forced to bundle up and go outside.
