He also traded for Buck Pierce way after his expiration date... for years Buono has made questionable decisions. With Toronto they had 2 young guys... Harris clearly demonstrated that he can start in this league and Ray was already prone to injuries by that point... yet they decided to go old instead of young.

Buying a new TV
http://www.costco.ca/Sharp-Aquos-LC-75N8000U-75-in.-Smart-4K-Ultra-HD-LED-TV.product.100295975.html 1 - 2 weeks for delivery , it'll mostly be used for football , cartoons and movies with some xbox one s gaming. The specs have everything that I was looking for (FALD, 4k, HDR , 120hz) and at the Costco on Regent they had one setup and it looked really good. I was and still am unsure since HiSense bought out Sharp... but for $3200 the price was just really really good and it looks like everything was build using the same parts that Sharp used before they sold. As per the bait and switch.... it's on the Best Buy site where you can't "reserve" a tv over 50" unless it's in stock at the store... however if it's under 50" you can reserve the tv.... I'll just avoid Best Buy and enjoy the day when they finally are out of business

Buying a new TV
Word of advice... I used to work at Best Buy... they live and die by selling the Best Buy service plans. The commercials used to push how they were not on commission which is true... however if you didn't upsell on warranties you would get fired ASAP. It's worse then places that are on commission. Once you purchase your product and leave the store... that store wants nothing to do with you. This is because returns kill their numbers and the managers are terrified about losing their job. How it works is they will do anything and everything possible to avoid you using your extended warranty. Best Buy in every city contracts out your repairs to the lowest bidder. The people working on your tvs usually are terrible. Always extend your warranty directly with the manufacturer. They have real technicians and wont give you the run around.

Buying a new TV
I was going to buy a Sony on sale at Best Buy... but naturally they used the old bait and switch tactic. How convenient that for 2 weeks straight they didn't have the tv in stock while it was being pushed in the flyer and on it's main display in store.... so in my fit of anger I decided to go to Costco and get the 75" sharp... can't go wrong with a 5 year extended warranty for only 99 dollars and the 90 day return policy. I'm weary since HiSense bought them out earlier in the year... but the in store model looked amazing and the price was great. I'll post my thoughts once it's delivered and after trying out the xbox one s and some 4k videos...

Miller starting contract extension talks with Walters O'Shea
The team has shown progress.. how can you not extend the guy? If it were another losing season then for sure he should of been dumped.

Can we beat calgary?
It's all about qb pressure... Mitchell seems to have a tonne of time in the pocket and when the pocket collapses he's great at sliding out untouched. .

Eskies at Riders
How can any Bomber fan not be thrilled that Saskatchewan won that game in ugly fashion? The green still stinks, our gap with Edmonton widens... I don't see how anyone can be disappointed?

GDT: Toronto @ Winnipeg
From what I saw their was a lot of blatant holding by Argo receivers. However in the first half the Blue did not favors with ill time penalties, terrible tackling (Bass) and just a massive cushion for LeFevour. LaPolice was also thoroughly enjoying calling plays that require the receiver to break a few tackles and get 4 - 5 yards after the catch.... rather then throwing the ball deep. I did also spot one person in the stands with a Heath jersey already!

UFC
I wasn't a big fan of MMA when BJ was young and winning. I never understood the deep love and the admiration for the guy as if he was the Fedor of the lightweight/welterweight division. If they want to bring back BJ Penn , they should be feeding him guys he can easily beat. It's like the Dan Henderson treatment where the guy is clearly washed up and way over the hill... yet they continue to feed him top 10 guys because once in a blue moon he scores a lucky KO.

Winnipeg Jets Hall of Fame
I've noticed over the last year on the drive home (around 4:30 ish) they will have once or twice a week a 10 minute segment on the racing... before the Bombers winning streak they would ignore the Blue and Gold and talk about horses and jockeys. I always assume they do this because of sponsorship because I can't imagine anyone giving a crap about the details of the races.

Als @ TiCats
Wow what a conservative offense... was Tim Burke calling this game? Kneeling down with time left.... barely any plays going deep despite having two great receivers in Cunningham and Carter who can make those big plays.... Cato is shattered... as someone said above he is not looking around and missing guys wide open in front of his face. Zach is trying way to hard... should of had 3 more interceptions (but hey certain members on this board will ignore this and suggest that Nichols is the only guy that should have more interceptions). The game was pretty dull and thank god that Matt Dunigan is hilarious because he can make a turd of a game still fun to watch.

To derail the thread... can someone else tell H & L to stop talking about horse racing.... blows my mind that they spend more time on that then the Goldeyes...

Jets vs Oilers Heritage Classic
Those two goofballs are embarrassing themselves IMO. Maybe when I was in my 20's I would feel for them... but after having 2 kids I look at these morons and simply see two selfish parents who are irresponsible. Get a friggin baby sitter... no good can come from a kid going to a super loud and possibly "dangerous" sporting event. If you can shell out big dollars for a hockey ticket you can afford to pay for a baby sitter.

It makes sense on why they cut them both... the CFL is all about keeping the brand looking great.... guys like Pederson and Dunk tarnish the image with their reports and/or crazy rants.
