  1. I remember posting here before the season that my gear was the Jets lost their grit. They competed harder with way less talent.
  2. Just to expand on Superman Returns, I always had an idea I wish they had used. Start the film with newsreel coverage of Superman vs Doomsday fight. CNN live style. What a start to a film. Use CGI within the shaky news footage to make it Reeve's Superman. He seemingly defeats Doomsday but is critically wounded. Cut to a hospital where Reeve now playing the injured and crippled Superman/Kent. He gives a tearful goodbye and "dies". If they had wanted, this would have been a good way to bring in Batman. Meanwhile, they do whatever they do that results in Superman's return and rejuvenation (in-universe explaining why he's the same but sort of different). And a great farewell to Reeve as Superman.
  3. Thats why I'd keep at least Little. I'd also keep Perreault. And I'd hope the coaching staff had quality leadership skills. I like Wheeler too. Not sure I'd re-sign him when his deal is up (and the other guys will be older, more mature, more experienced by then). Buff is the type of guy that puts you over the top...but why pay him $7+m for years if there is nothing to be put over the top of during that time?
  4. Lawless was slightly softer on his stance on the part of H&L I heard. He said something like "if they lose the remainder of the games? Sure, then something changes" or something like that. But he basically said Chipmand & Chevy feel Maurice is their guy and that he hasnt been given enough talent on the ice to fully judge. Lawless then went off on how Noel was scapegoated and that he shouldnt have been fired either. I get the impression Lawless is a very patient guy.
  5. A vaguely wrestling relayed story but more a US politics story. During the FBI investigation into the Hulk Hogan sex tape, it was revealed that Bubba (who secretly recorded people having sex with his wife) may have been in possession of a General Petaeus sex tape General Perraeus is on Trump's short list for new NSA http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/311366/bubba-love-sponge-may-have-general-petraeus-sex-tape/
  6. When Obama took office, the concern was whether he'd be allowed to keep his Blackberry. Seems quaint now.
  7. Id question the security around the Aid carrying teh football too. How was a civilian allowed to approach him and take photos, with the guy smiling no less. It sounds like anyone through the doors at Mar-a-Lago have free reign. What stops someone from sticking a steak knife in Trump's throat? I love that Trump is trying to change the Flynn narrative to the "leaks". This is a guy who wanted leaks about Hilary, who publicly implored Russia to hack her and leak the information. Now he's mad that his inner circle are leaking important information about the the compromised state of his NSA. I wonder what would tip the scales for the Republicans to actually move on Trump. There is speculation circling that Pence power-played to get rid of Flynn against Trump's wishes.
  8. True Rich but going young and going complete rebuild are two different things. Scheif is 4 years in. Lowry is 3 years on. Trouba is 4 years in. Ehlers will be starting year 3 next season. Same with Copp. Young, but not rookies.
  9. @Goalie the article you posted here, I tweeted out and it got re-tweeted all over. That resulted in a new story being written, referring to the "story making the rounds", by arctic ice hockey. If the #MoMustGo movement takes off, you can take credit for planting the seed
  10. Well as a Center, Little scores some extra points. Little is more consistent. I like Wheeler a lot too. If we went with a youth movement, I'd be fine with trading Wheeler and Buff and Toby...but I'd want to keep Little.
  11. I was thinking the same thing, that Little is someone I'd want to keep even in a youth movement scenario. Something would have to give as far as improving the D. We'd basically be the Oilers.
  12. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/marquee-downtown-condo-development-placed-in-receivership-amid-concerns-over-financial-shortfalls-1.3980962
  13. If the jets end up with Patrick...would be tremendous.
  14. That's unbelievable. This mar-a-lago stuff has to end.
  15. Kellyanne looks like the stress is getting to her.
  16. And would that be an example of the Jets drafting their need and by-passing Best Player Available?
  17. Whats the anaylis from the smart guys here as to who the Jets would be targeting, say 1-5 or 5-10?
  18. What bugs me when they do this is, dont fix what aint broke. I think everyone accepts "updates" as far as make up, using modern techniques. But the core of the look doesnt change. This seems like change for the sake of change.
  19. He already seems bored with being President. And boy, I'd like to know the vetting process for membership at Mar-a-Lago. Now the issue is, does Trump use a secure phone. They think he's still using his personal smartphone which likely only has civilian security protocols and its an Android which, from what I read, is much easier to hack. Then his aids use their smartphone flashlights to read sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago because God forbid they adjourn to a private room and turn up the lights. The concern is, if anyone has spyware on someone's smartphone, they got a great look at whatever the aids were looking at. And this follows Trump's whining about Hilary and security leaks. Trump is showing himself as pretty careless. The questions about his phone and security are valid. There is a video going around of Flynn doing a rally during the election calling for Hilary to be "locked up" for using a private server. He says if he had done 10% of what Hilary did, he'd be in jail. We shall see... I said Trump would quit in two years. He might not last that long.
