yeah not sure how we could replace his 5 career special teams tackles over a 3 year period... It's not all about tackles.. Blocking is just as important. volny wont be released just like tyson pencer won't be released....

probably won't hear nothing until tomorrow... after the board of governors vote on it even.

That's an awful trade and won't happen.. kane for neal doesn't have any legs to stand on at all... for one, we really don't have a need for neal, he's a rw, kane's a lw... buff for neal? sure but kane? i don't think so. Pens would have to add significant pieces to make that one happen.

Sometimes people just want to take a swing at an athlete. Hell I remember hearing stories in Brandon about people trying to take a swing at the tough guys on the Wheat Kings just to try and prove a point. Kane has a reputation as a tough hockey player, maybe this guy figured he either gets to brag about how he took a swing at Kane and Kane pussed out, or he gets his ass kicked and he sues this prick of a hockey player for assault. Yes thats possible but thats actually pretty rare. Plus, this guy was identified as an employee. The fact they knew each other to at least a minor extent raises the suspicion level in my mind. I dont get the "ring of truth" from Kane's story. But, the cops who investigated the matter were satisfied. End of story, no? Man, not gonna say names but a couple of my friends are cops k and the stories i could tell you about pro athletes being given the benefit of the doubt, even when its even apparent to the cop that they are guilty as sin... would shock you. I'l tell you this much, a couple friends let a couple pro athletes off the hook in 2011, (lots of jet players were real dicks that year). why did they let them go? cuz they gave them free tix or signed some stuff for them. This happens more often than anyone thinks too. Here, i'll just tell this one, involved my self and a few friends several years ago... we were getting high b4 going to see a movie at cinema city 8.. oh yeah the cheap theatre, the one friend was being a real ****.. we were sitting in the car, he was just going crazy for some reason, honking the horn, yelling out stuff to security at the mall.. "what you gonna do man, call the cops". The guy did call the cops, cops showed up... took a look at my ID, not saying im well known but the last name certainly is amongst police, my uncle is/was a cop.. cop looks at id and goes, oh do you know "insert uncles name here", i said yeah man, thats my uncle. They are like ok have a good night and left. Not saying that it's the same, it just gives you some idea that it's not always about what you do but who you know. Getting high while driving a car, yelling at mall cops & your buddy honking the horn like a nutbar. Then the cops letting you guys off. Nice story. Question, you've claimed in the past that being high on weed doesn't impair your judgement or ability to drive like alcohol does. So, explain your friend's erratic behaviour then? Sounds like he'd have been a maniac behind the wheel & could have killed someone. Guys like you are a danger to everyone. Delete - i'm not gonna debate the pro's and cons of smoking weed in a parking lot b4 going to see a movie. There is obviously quite a bit of a generational gap here.

but in the other thread, you said volny is a good special teams player and he has 5 special teams tackles over 3 seasons.

yeah not sure how we could replace his 5 career special teams tackles over a 3 year period...

The thing is... taman, mack, kelly... they never won a grey cup.. that's all that matters. Taman and Mack both made it to the big game though. I guess when looking at our non import talent over the last 20 something years, it hasn't been good enough period. No doubt we've had some talented non imports come and go over the years, but.. none of them won a cup for us so... In my opinion, that means, we just haven't been good enough. Regardless of who the GM was. But then again, who have the qb's been. Kept hearing that cal murphy would always say you only go as far as your qb and non imports take you... Guess that means we can make it to the big game but can't win.

Pretty safe bet here Willy 1st half plus 1st series of the second.. Hall and Brohm split the remaining 3rd and probably 10 minutes of the 4th, marve gets the last 5 Marve is the developmental qb.. the #2 job is between hall and brohm, loser gets cut IMHO.

There is always the possibility that its true too, how about the truth being his motivation.

Id suspect.. cotton woods, garvin all still have chances to be the return man this season.

I remember the draft quite well, it's the one where after taking pencer they showed reed and tillman and they were high fiving, the proceeded to then take austin pasztor (sp??) with the next pick who has also not seen the CFL field yet. After that calgary took DL/DE ameet pall who was subsequently PR'd then take by another team(montreal??) Chambers was taken next. 2012 was a pretty crappy draft actually.

called saulsberry, saw no use for him with the way morley and goossen played. I almost want to say robertson got the aardvark kiss of death earlier in the year gatling? didn't notice him too much last game and the other DE/DL.. same thing. Didn't notice him at all.

This is awful. Apparently on average and this shocked me there is only 2 deaths per year involving cyclists. Shocking actually.. With the way some of the people in this city drive, i'm honestly shocked it's not way more. Condolences to his family and friends. That's just awful.

I think sometimes as fans, we don't want to believe that one of our beloved players could possibly be an actual ****. Is there any truth to this story? who knows, who cares really but... the fact is, these stories have followed kane around his whole career, this ain't just a since he got to winnipeg thing, the rumors have followed him around since he became a pro. It is what it is i guess. Generally, i tend to believe where there is smoke there has got to be some fire near by at least. Kane doesn't seem to be the most high character guy out there either so.. wouldn't surprise me if there is indeed some truth to this. All i know is, this is just another in a long long list of "rumors" that have followed kane throughout his career and more bad press for kane and by association, the jets. The jets won't stand for this much longer, i get the feeling kane is traded at or near the draft. Just causes too much drama i think, regardless if true, you don't hear about this stuff with any other jets player really.

poblah has all the talent in the world, but he seems to have a problem doing the one thing that receivers are supposed to do and that is catch the ball.

wood is versatile, can essentially line up at sb, rb, wr.. can return kicks, punts.. his versatility should keep him around for a bit.

brooks is apparently pushing volny. Volny is at the make it or break it stage also, does seem to have fumbelitis. If brooks shows well, volny could be sent packing.

man, was flipping back between the caps on mts at the girlfriends place and cbc for the rangers kings and the production value of that ahl game was just awful. All the stars players looked very very black. But can't complain that much cuz it was on. Too bad for the caps, hutch was outstanding again tho.

I thought i remember hearing edmonton wanted a first round pick back in their trade, they wanted chambers, we didn't have a first cuz we took kito in the supplemental draft the year before. We couldn't trade with edmonton for 2 because we didn't have a first round pick to give back to them. Not overly shocking though. Didn't look good on monday at all. Surprised a little bit that Kowalczuk is still on the roster though.

I like it, but i'd probably look at replacing halischuk. Not a huge fan, pretty small.. kind of injury prone a bit. Perhaps a kid from the rock could fill his spot or a free agent signing. Just not sure who.

Starts at 8pm Winnipeg time. perfect. I'll definitely be home from the lake by then. Awesome.

Sweet. Afternoon or evening?

I listened for a bit and didn't get that impression at all. What kind of stuff did he say that was 'borderline racist'? i didn't listen so i'm just going on what 2 sort of overly dramatic friends say but they mentioned he said something about all the last names and comparing it to being at folklorama, is that racist? probably not but... didn't hear it myself so i have no idea. Based on a couple of posts now, I think you need new friends. i guess i probably should have used the term "work friends", you know, guys you talk to at work but outside of work, not so much. Like i said though, they are a bit overly dramatic and tend to kind of over react to lots of simple things. Put it this way, last year i asked if they were gonna go to some bomber games, they said no, i said why not, looks like a beauty of a stadium.. they said, because we don't want to be there when the entire place falls down. Overly Dramatic to say the least. Work "buddies". Not guys i hang out with after work. Keep in mind, these guys are also well, they aren't spring chickens exactly and tend to complain about mostly everything. Hockey season, they complain about what don cherry says all the time, i personally never listened so, i was kind of shocked to hear that they thought that was borderline racist also. To me, honestly, it was kind of funny what walby said. I didn't hear it but... i laughed when they mentioned what he said and kind of got the evil eye for laughing. It is what it is.

lol it's a couple hours on westjet But, is that game on tv?
