money from stadium fees/rental...parking..concessions...beer sales ...tickets etc would go into the teams pocket..no?....thats why

and he did burn 2 of the better cover guys in the league last year for big gains..so a season and now a second full camp under his belt after being away from the game for basically a few years should do him wonders

yeah I looking for an expanded role for him and big things...He has the tools and the toolkit to be a ratio breaker type receiver in the fact that he almost appears to be an import talent physically and visually wrapped in a nice Canadian shell

Well to be fair WWE was negligent in his death. It wasn’t malicious but they were negligent. They also promised Martha they wouldn’t show clips from his funeral on raw and they did. They are free to induct him as they can market the Owen photos and video they own. They just won’t because of the negative publicity. It might eventually come down to his kids deciding to allow it on the other hand, there is money to be made either for the family or for their charity. But again, ultimately you can’t fault Martha.

Hopefully not a repeat of Top Cock! 🤣

Faith Ekakitie has made me wary of college guys who couldn't earn a starting roster spot. Boateng at Fresno State is another this year. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I'm not raising anyone's stock just because they went to school in the US.

And, is buyout proof. And, full NTC until 20/21. Then modified NTC. What a terrible contract.

In 177 games with the Islanders, he's got 38 goals and 33 assists (71 points). Those are pretty abysmal numbers for a player with a $5.5M AAV. At 33, he's probably not an asset to the team and worst of all, he's got four more years left on his contract.

I'm not expecting much from Thompkins. TBH I think there's a better chance of Simonise and/or Petermann taking a big step this season if given the opportunity, much like Wolitarsky did. I like the versatility in the non-imports we have too, especially Wolitarsky and Petermann, those two could line up anywhere and get it done. I don't expect Simonise to see much action inside but he has everything you want in raw talent for a boundary WR. Demski has his role as a playmaker, I wouldn't even call him a receiver necessarily. I think Nelson could be a good slot too.

I really want to see that kid do well. He made plays when he got a chance, which is more than can be said for some of the American receivers we've lined up recently.

This idea of top 6 and bottom 6 is old school thinking. Your goal should be to ice the best team and lines you can. Little doesnt fit with Lowry and Tanev.. Its not working. We know copp lowry tanev is an elite shutdown line. We also know Perreault little and roslo have some chemistry as they played together a bit this year and looked good.. At least they threatened to score at times. Im fine with Hendricks playing now but... Hes so slow its crazy... He cant keep up with copp and Perreault

I really appreciate the effort in trying to generate discussion during a long off season, but this is the reason that I didn't really participate that much in these polls. Most of the guys here were not even born during the days when some truly amazing players did their thing for the blue and gold so I get why they might pick Bryant over Rigney or Frank. You can't blame them for not knowing what they don't know, but for those of us that do, the suggestion that he's "better" than them or more deserving than them is truly laughable. At the same time, I've also been hesitant to speak up to much due to the fact that there are some more seasoned fans who seem to use this process to simply impress by naming every obscure Bomber player that they can regardless of the fact that most of those players would never, ever, make the list for "all time great". But if nothing else, these threads have generated a little bit of conversation through the winter, and for that, I'm grateful.

2019 has to be a breakout year for Simonise. Too much talent to not be and now he should have the experience he needs.

It wont pass the house but even proposing this... Just shows how heartless the RepubliCONS truly are. Just a bunch of rich assholes looking out for themselves. I put a laugh emoji cuz all i can do is laugh at the ignorance and stupidity. Republicans: How low can we go.

No he was released before the season. Haven't heard anything about him since.

I personally won't go to the game. But I don't have an issue with it being held here. Assuming there's some kind of compensation to the organization.

Sounds like the NFL game would have been day before a Rider home game, so pretty much impossible to pull that off. Bombers don't have a home game until Banjo Bowl following the proposed date (August 23),

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Tuesday defended deep cuts to programs meant to help students and others, including eliminating $18 million to support Special Olympics, while urging Congress to spend millions more on charter schools

Yeah, you can if you put everything into bonuses. For Ladd, everything but $1M in base is bonuses each year. Even if there's a lock-out, he'll make his money. A few other high profile contracts have been done this way too around the end of the CBA. Again, the owners need a lockout to save themselves.

Wow, didn't know you could make it that way. So the Islanders can't even bubble wrap the guy. Andrew Ladd's agent did well for him.

Fwiw, Riders apparently were not pleased with having an NFL team play in their stadium, and the Esks have said they are absolutely not bidding for it........very interesting.

Good revenue generator, maybe attract some tourism to the city as well, Packer fans who have no hope of setting foot in Lambeau. Logistics could be annoying mid-season, Bombers have home game August 15 then Banjo Bowl, so shouldn't be too bad.

I did i did. Although we're very very close to a sell out. But pushing us out there is always nice. He mentioned the show right off the opener. Sounds like Kenny is running late lol he was in TO as recently as...earlier today? So...hopefully he makes it.

Kenny Omega is on TSN 1290 in a few minutes. @The Unknown Poster I hope you gave him all the info he needs to promote the PCW show!

I would find it hard to accept, as a taxpayer, the Bombers turning down an opportunity to generate additional venue revenue, unless they could prove irreparable harm to their brand or income. And, although I kidded about the Argos, it was the good people at Skydome that brought the Bills in. I can't remember the Argos jumping up and down with excitement over the move.

So, he doesn't seem like a guy who could go the NFL route - might be a good pick if he's still there in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Folks on Twitter saying its between EDM and WPG. Well just based on max seats I suspect EDM.

What, no live performance of Crack Addict? This is drastically better than some of the other musical guests they've had over the past 20 years.

Retroactive to the Argos?

It sure looks that way. And with Dallas being a potential first round opponent, the Jets' PK could be their demise in that series. You rarely get far in the playoffs with a lousy PK. It's just so frustrating to see this team play so well in one game and then so poorly the next. It just doesn't make sense. They mopped the floor with the Preds and then get their asses handed to them two days later... Sure, the Stars are playing desperate hockey but there's no reason why the Jets can't match that.

Kenny Omega Showcased In TSN Documentary Local write-up on the upcoming doc. They even name drop a certain promoter in the article. For those interested the doc shows tomorrow: "Omega Man - A Wrestling Love Story" ( @OmegaManAWrest1 ) is being televised at 6.30 pm Central time (7.30 ET) Wednesday, and focuses on the story and storytelling of Kenny Omega, an international sensation who cut his own path from starting on small Canadian regional cards to headlining the main event in the Tokyo Dome for New Japan Pro Wrestling in front of 38,000 fans.

The PK has been a big problem for most of the year, but there doesn’t seem to be any urgency to adjust it.

I am the same. I identify as a conservative, but we really desperately need to check the power of large corporations and the rich. If not then all us lowly plebs are truly ******.

Which creates the scenario that if you're a respected senator and you're gay and everyone knows but the public and you deny it and your personal emails are hacked, you suddenly become Russia's best friend and official water-carrier of Trump. Or something...

I agree, but reviews can fix mistakes on some occasions and give fans less opportunities to complain. I don’t think refs get too gun shy to make calls because of video review. I just dislike the concept of “if we can’t fix EVERYTHING, then we won’t do ANYTHING “.

Hendricks is simply too slow. He’s constantly trailing the play.

Iron Mike Sellers should be part of the poll, IMO

How lucky did we get with Ottawa's bumbling!?

Its still very unfortunate Martha won't let Owen go in and be remembered for his accomplishments.

With a great sense of humour and a non-inflated ego.

Guy threw for over 450 yards twice at IGF versus the Bisons. Walters should draft him based solely on how well he plays in our stadium.

Hendricks gets gassed almost instantly - he just is not an option for the playoffs...

Only when Lowry was suspended. Tanev without Lowry is bad. Some team will overpay him in the off season and find that out shortly after.

So, it’s incredible?

Yeah but fans collectively lose their **** even with reviews anyway. That's just what fans do.

I'm struggling with the idea of a 25 yard penalty for more serious infractions. Why not just eject the player and do the 15 yards. If I guy risks losing a game day cheque, he might just think twice.

You obviously have never referred before...or else if you did, you were perfect. Yes, the refs in the CFL do get it wrong sometimes...at times even ***** stupid calls. But heh, NFL refs make some really bad calls and they are full time. If I'm a player, I'd feel like cussing out a ref sometimes too, but I'd expect a penalty for it.
