Western Wild Card Race 2018
I like the Minnesota match-up. Minnesota Mafia against the Minnesota Mild. Dubnyk can steal a game or two but I would take our fire power and goal tending any day.

Will we be better or worse?
*And offensive coordinator. Reilly will determine where Edmonton finishes. I don't expect them to finish above third.

It's booked throughout the winter. Although, it appears that Football Manitoba had a clinic running on the Saturday.

The MLB/Goldeyes Thread
When I posted this, I didn't know the Yanks had done it too. I was referring to the Cubs game.

First pitch of the regular season goes deep, deep, deep over the wall! Welcome back baseball! Go Yankees!

He helped Trump grow an inch and lose 50 pounds, seemingly, overnight. That deserves a reward!

Yeah, Mackinnon would not have made a difference. Trouba didn't play either. I'll take Colorado any day.

The Star Wars Thread
I accept the idea that Luke felt out of control and went into self-imposed exile. I like your rationale much more but didn't feel too bad about Luke in hiding.

Pretty sure AR-15 won't help against drones. Even if they wanted, the 'people' wouldn't have a chance against the military.

Random Death Notice 2018
If you're interested in an alternative view of Brown vs the Board of Education, I would recommend Malcolm Gladwell's podcast: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/13-miss-buchanans-period-of-adjustment In fact, all of Gladwell's podcasts on the civil rights movement were interesting. I would also recommend: http://revisionisthistory.com/episodes/14-the-foot-soldier-of-birmingham

Around The League: 2018 Offseason
One thing researchers are looking at are micro-concussions. The small, repeated hits that players face during the game. OL face the most. Not big hits but small ones. These micro-concussions may not lead to any symptoms until years after receiving them, where the connections in the brain are torn apart.

CFL Combine
You're waiting for something to "click" in his head, like Carter. But, he may never get it, like Carter. Too bad. But he's a human being, prone to mistakes. I hope he's happy and never regrets "what could have been". But, wow, would it be good to get him and for him to figure things out. A big chance and not the type of personality Walters seems to want to put in the room. I'm okay with his decisions on personnel and personality.

So, they're going to burn a year on his ELC, for what? They don't have depth, I guess. Roslo is going to have troubles getting into the Jets line-up and, right now, he's better than TheotherLaineN.

It's a bruise. If he's willing to play through the pain, let him fly.

Quoting Energy & Environment articles? A little journal that's dedicated to climate change denial. Please use reputable sources.

It's amazing how gov't can be so good at one thing, yet so horrible at others. It's like they can never get it just right and find a way to bring themselves down.

Game 73 : Melrose Avenue @ Melrose Coffee
Done for the regular season, likely, Hopefully he can get back with a game or two to spare though. I would like to see him get his legs back under him again. It's really terrible timing for him. Not that it's ever good timing for an injury, especially a concussion.

Game 73 : Melrose Avenue @ Melrose Coffee
We're locked into 2nd, unless something major happens. We're still trying to collect as many points as possible but start Comrie. We're preparing for the playoffs, which means we need to rest and cycle through the line-ups.
