    In order - it is just you, no he hasn’t, and no he isn’t. Matt Nichols took a lot of crap on this board at times last year (I was not exempt from getting on him when he complained about the boos), but when it’s -30 outside and many Americans head south ftom the day the season ends to the start of trading camp, here’s our offensive leader giving back to the community and doing more than just a quick autograph session for a fee. I’m impressed to see him engage on a personal level with the Brandon fans. Kudos to him!

    Are you insane? You rather a guy who may be a fringe all star stay and let the best player on defence in the league leave?

    In my real life, I've negotiated many union contracts on behalf of my company. Some have been here in Winnipeg, and some out in B.C. Some negotiations dragged on for months, and some got settled quite quickly. Generally speaking, if both sides come in with reasonable positions, and listen to each other's concerns, solutions can be found quickly. At the end of the day, both parties have more in common than have in opposition to each other. The difficulties lie when someone's ego takes over, or they dig in their heals to "win" the argument regardless of the long term result. So long as they stay focused on the big picture of growing the game, attracting fans, and putting a quality product on the field, while remaining fiscally prudent, they will get it done. If it boggs down into "More for me and less for you", then their will be problems. Some of the best results, for both sides, have been reached in contracts that we've settled in 1-2 days. It is folly to think that longer negotiations really achieve more in the long run. That being said, each negotiation is unique, and I fully appreciate that there can be sticky issues that need to be resolved.

    Jericho also uses a style that fits his age these days. It's dirty, lots of cheap shots. You can play up the angle of the crafty veteran being too wily for the younger more athletic Omega. And as far as the difference between the NJPW US tour roster and the AEW roster. Are you kidding me? That tour is the leftovers after AEW took the top North American stars from New Japan.

    Tomorrow will mark the third anniversary of Harris's signing with the Bombers. I recall that when we signed him there were people on Riderfans saying that he's going to be 30 soon and running backs usually fall off a cliff once they hit 30. Ha: CFL Most Outstanding Canadian Player: 2017 Dr. Beattie Martin Trophy (Most Outstanding -Canadian Player, West Division): 2017, 2018 CFL All-Star: 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 West Division All-Star: 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Bombers Most Outstanding Canadian: 2016, 2017, 2018 B.C. Lions Most Outstanding Canadian: 2012, 2013 Eddie James Memorial Trophy (West Division leading rusher): 2017, 2018 The last 3 years have been the best of his career.

    You have some pretty unpopular opinions. Bighill is at worst the second best MLB in the league. Unless he blows out his ACL that isn't going to change overnight

    With free agency coming up, we should clarify one thing: to resign is to quit something (see Goosen, Matthias) to re-sign is to enter into a new contract with your current employer (see Bighill, Adam)

    Okay... I understand the logic, trying to keep player safety in mind, whilst also allowing exciting finishes... wouldn't an easier stipulation just be to prevent a team that has the lead from attempting an onside conversion? Handcuffing teams to only being down by 17+ points seems...well, pointless, won't the game be out of reach at that point? Also... What happens if they fail on the "onside kick" play? Does the other team get the ball at the 28 if they don't convert?

    Coaching is killing us right now. 55 and 26 are huge floaters. Everyone shits on 29 but 55 and 26 are truly a huge problem right now and Maurices outright refusal to split them up is our downfall. Cup contenders? Nope.

    Wow, the top line got owned again, no back check from any of them but Maurice doesn't have the sack to park their asses on the bench where they belong. Hope Chevy is working the phones because we need another top forward and d-man.

    Prider "insiders" on FA QB negotiations.... "Look, I didn't want to say anything but we offering as much or more for Player X but he wanted to play in City X to be close to mum, girlfriend, sick grandma, fulfill dying wish of somebody etc..." Or "Hey, we were offering competitive money but GM X blew his brains out and started offering insane numbers. Day should be commended for holding the line. Seriously, are the Riders the only team committed to fiscal sanity ? C'mon Ambrosie do something !"
  24. The Gender Pay Gap

    Wanna-B-Fanboy reacted to Mark H. for a post in a topic

    Okay, the lady in the video makes the following key points, which I will summarize: 1. Companies employ more men in higher positions 2. If women want to be paid more, they need to apply for those higher positions 3. Yes, women are discriminated against in the workplace 4. We need to teach young women to have to the confidence to apply for higher paying jobs 5. Women are being discriminated against only because they allowed themselves to be 6. None of the above have anything to do with gender This leads me to several pointed questions: 1. How can anything possibly be that simple? 2. If women are allowing themselves to be discriminated against - how is she so sure it has nothing to do with their gender? 3. How does she know that women aren't applying for those higher positions?

    Sask going to make a run and overpay for Harris? It would be tough to leave a starting job in the East to move to the uber-competitive West. The east boasts a turtle race with a much greater chance of playoff money and success.

    Exactly. Why can’t they just play football? And more: 15 yard penalty for those defensive infractions. All teams must attempt two-point conversions after each touchdown; there will be no extra point kicks. There will be no kickoffs; possession at the start of each half, and after scores, will begin on a team's own 25-yard line The play clock will run only 35 seconds In lieu of an onside kick, a team can keep possession of the ball by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 28-yard line and gaining at least 12 yards.

    I dont see how new G.M..new H.C..new D.C..new D.B coach is a march to continuity just because they promoted guys. If anything it's called settling or reserving yourself to the fact that you couldn't improve your staff. Factor in possibly a new QB one of which is 99 percent again going to be settling for scraps..I dont see a whole lot of progression/positive things there. Now if they resign Collaros..well theres some continuity..but continuity from the scraps they were forced to settle with last year

    The age difference between them is the same as it was when they met previously and there were zero issues then so why is it an issue now? Is Jericho the same worker he was 10 years ago? Nope, but if you watch his last few matches, he can still go. There are definitely guys who have hung on too long and should have stopped sooner but Jericho isn't at that point.

    It's not like we are letting him walk...he is obviously thinking on open market his value will be more...so we will all find out...it may be that the most he will find is 10-15 k more than what we offered and we match and all is good...but to throw a buttload of money at him before any other offers become apparent is foolish...and to mismanage your SMS in that way will reverberate through the roster elsewhere... his position isn't a super hard one to fill....and Bighill in no way will be slipping off after this year..I bet he has several other good ones after this deal left in him barring any catastrophic injury
