  1. Chabot was phenomenal in the WJC this year... that's about all I know of him... I wish he was in the Jets system but to say picking Connor 1 spot ahead of him was a mistake is revisionist history and I don't care to partake in that nonsense... I still believe Connor will turn out to me a good NHL player...
  2. he sounds like a hockey player... so that will probably help!
  3. rather than ridiculing him for how stupid this is... media should humour him (in a way)... sincerely ask where this happened, who was involved and promise a follow up investigation... since he obviously has no proof, he'll probably (one would think, but we're dealing with a different character here) back off from making these allegations in the future... if his response is "I don't have proof, I just know it happened" then ignore it and move on... the more attention these stupid little stunts get... the more frequent they will be b/c Trump loves getting the reaction/attention...
  4. possibly... but Popp would have been available, what, a month or more ago? Generally a GM will want to pick his HC... if it's Popp, Milanovich might be his guy...
  5. Wow, that's incredibly late... why wait til 2 months after the season ends to do this (basically 3 months for the Argos)...
  6. While I agree with your analysis, Best and Labatte are critical to the Rider NI depth... you have actually gone on to agree with JPan on both fronts... see the part I bolded...
  7. I don't use it for 2 reasons: 1) home games I'm there and road games I prefer to not have my phone out while watching... 2) I usually go on a message board moratorium for a few days after a game (win or lose) to prevent drunk/emotional posting... But I have used it a few times and I can see how it's a fun tool to use during the games...
  8. I'd have to agree with you on all fronts... but I hope they bring in an experienced Canadian O-lineman... and I'd be ok if that was Keeping...
  9. what? did you see Leggett play at all last year?... I bolded the attributes that really describe Doug Brown... not that he couldn't the other stuff... they just didn't stand out as much...
  10. Not sure if was posted anywhere yet... Hurb Zurkowsky reporting that the Als have officially added Joe Mack as their AGM... probably not the worst choice... he had a decent track record of bringing in imports...
  11. which seems about right... I am already losing track of days here, who was signed first, Nichols or Durant? And did we get any numbers on Durant's contract??
  12. I think it's safe to say this is a little premature... beating the worst team in the league with 6 goals for... If Pavelec stands on his head, helps turn the season around and leads the team to the playoffs... then you'll certainly have an argument...
  13. wasn't he asking for (unconfirmed) 4 years @ $25M per year mid way through last year... this signing makes sense... that's the market price for a slugger and they aren't locked in after this year if his play drops significantly...
  14. yeah... I trust the guy that was beat up and thrown in his locker in high school for sports analysis...
  15. best group of QBs I've ever seen .... who's the guy beside Elliott? looks like he's wearing #16...
  16. If the (Detroit) Lions don't want Matt anymore... I'd be more than happy to see him in the CFL with the Bombers
  17. I think you missed the joke...
  18. This will never work ....
  19. Yeah, I didn't include the Canadians... which is a whole new conversation... Will Richards finally emerge as a decent options?... will we draft a game ready WR in the first round (unlikely he would be ready from day 1)?... will Kohlert and JFG be back... also, I forgot about Gerrard Sheppard...
  20. Adams, Stafford, Dressler, Smith... probably no Gurley and Denmark will be fighting for a job.... hopefully McDuffie will be in the mix too... should be interesting...
  21. That's the biggest problem... As Rickey Gervais once said (I assume he's not the first person to say this but I'll quote him anyways b/c that's the source I know) "You can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts"
  22. Breaking News: Al's acquire rights to Darian Durant http://www.cfl.ca/2017/01/13/riders-deal-durants-rights-alouettes/
  23. thanks for the reply... I should've clarified by "legitimate" I mean reliably accurate and credible... doesn't matter what side it comes from, I just want my news to be accurate and credible... seems hard to find these days...
  24. Sorry to start up a month old thread again... but since you mentioned a couple prominent musicians killed/died on Dec 8... I'll assume you're not a metal fan... otherwise you would've included legendary Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell (Abbott) who was also shot and killed by a crazed fan on Dec 8, 2004... he was only 38 years old...
  25. I think the troubling part is when this story came out most reactions were "yeah, I could see Trump doing that"... whether true or not... certainly the previous few presidents would have been given the benefit of the doubt (well maybe Bill would be into that kind of stuff too )... It seems so hard these days to trust any news source... I used to rely on sources like the NYT and the Wash Post... what's the most legitimate news source in Canada these days??? National Post?? You literally have to read everything with a grain of salt now...
