I'd rather we try someone new over those two....

I'm only concerned because the ni talent we have to replace him are also sub standard. I expect a big signing though... We are shedding all these guys... We need something to balance it out. Maybe we are cutting salary for Laurent or Glenn?

They couldn't even get a late draft pick for him?

Well at least management is giving Etch control on which players he wants to use on his defense...

So what was the worst draft pick this draft? NEW England blowing an early pick on a QB?

From reading a few draft sites most of them were surprised he went a round or so later then what he should of. Most scouts said he didn't have the proper size.

The biggest factor definitely is the attitude era dying no question about it. Barely anyone knows any of the current WWE stars but almost everyone knows who GSP is. Wrestling just isn't cool anymore. When I watched the good wrestling at the church TV station, it was half nerds and half welfare moms with tonnes of kids. At the CFC shows it has a massive amount of 20-40 year olds and a whole lot of gorgeous eye candy to look at.

Because he hasn't progressed, was kind of treated poorly last season and he rather play close to home.

Does he play o line?

Well wrestling is simply dead plain and simple, even the shows I went loaded with name talent could barely crack 200 people. Mma the CFC shows are quite full .. But even a full house is still hard to make the money, way more costs associated with them.

Being ultra close with the cfc.... Local mma is very very hard to pull off while still making a profit. Night and day difference in challenges and a way higher price tag for putting it on. This is why you don't see lots of mma feeder leagues for the UFC. Also the sheer amount of injuries you get in mma compared to wrestling is night and day. Its hard to start something local and keep familiar faces in the cage since usually one injury will end a career. Not to mention local fighters usually end up losing money even of they get the win. Its hard to make a living In mma unless you are in the UFC.

And Mike made fun of me last month for starting the countdown of when Etch will be replaced...

Yay lets rehash old players!!

No they didn't, Dana White didn't want Kimbo at all and the only reason he was around was to get a few extra tickets sold. The UFC had absolutely zero plans for Kimbo to actually do anything in the org.

Kimbo could beat up all the backyard warriors but got killed in UFC. Many other fighters did much worse then Kimbo and he at least had a win over a recognizable fighter. He also beat Ray Mercer to a pulp.

Well Future Shop / Best Buy made a lot of sense because back when I worked at BB most dumb ass customers didn't realize that they owned both businesses and would threaten to leave BB and buy the product at FS. For electronics it was much easier for people to shop and walk across the street rather then go to one place and then drive across town to a Visions.... Safeway to me is like the A & W of grocery stores...... full of senior citizens.... high quality products.... high prices.... I will only go when coupons are present. I will say Sobey's is stealing a tonne of business away from Superstore in my area of town..... for some reason Super Store has really been going downhill on produce and Milk products. The Superstore near my house has shrunk the size of the milk section so that they have only 1 column of each kind of milk and unless you go before 5 pm it's almost always out of stock. They also are constantly out of the normal veggies like Broccoli , Green Onions, Lettuce etc.... Meanwhile Sobeys has a tonne of selection and all of the produce looks much more fresh and they always have a jam packed full fridge of Milk...... Safeway is the best place to go when in a rush as they have zero line ups lol

Next time please read the comments to understand the comparison. And if he was a dime a dozen then how come he wasn't cut and how come the club didn't sign someone else to take his spot in TC to compete???

Funny how the Winnipeg show absolutely tanked in PPV sales yet it still raked in a lot of cashola for the UFC. I wonder what WWE ppv numbers look in comparison. I wonder how bad the Bellator show will bomb and whether the Glory PPV will get anyone in North America to buy.....

Good for them Palardy was a good kicker.

Most games are on bit torrents but still this is disappointing

You didn't see any improvements? I see a much better team then before, the previous years we had the benefit of playing much weaker teams on a more frequent basis. The club of last season would stomp the Antropov, Mittienen, Well wood teams of before

Does he play o line?

Which ones do you suggest? Who is out there?

Long story short Etienne couldn't start in three years under Lapolice, Crowton, Burke, Bellefeuille and then dumped when the new regime came over... Kelly is still here despite a massive overhaul... What more need I say?

But he didn't last season or the year before or the year before that and that's my point..... I don't want Kelly on our roster and for all I care he can disappear.... the point is that despite having every single reason to shine... Etienne still couldn't crack the line up after 3 full years while Kelly cracked it in his first week with the club and was a more productive member on the team. After 3 seasons Etienne should of been on that field playing every down and we shouldn't of had to keep hunting for scraps to play receiver for us..... This year I can safely say that Kohlert will outplay Etienne and Kelly I sure hope is not a starting receiver and that Moore will have a ridiculous amount more of yards then what he will have.
