Around The League: 2018 Offseason
There are only two rules in Jonestown: #1 - Take the Kool-Aid and drink it all down. #2 - The Plan is the plan and there is nothing outside The Plan.

Game 38 : No PST @ 8%
I don't hate this. The Moose are rolling and the kids are playing. Let them play and develop and let Matthias or Dano play bottom line minutes.

I expect Manziel to compete for the starting job with Masoli and Collaros traded to Montreal or Saskatchewan.

I think they move Perreault up, so that Wheeler can move to centre. If it doesn't work, they can swap spots. Have to put a vet up there with Connor and Wheels.

I see Perrault move up and Lemieux or Petan coming up.

The TV Thread
The Toys That Made Us Interesting documentary show on Netflix about the most popular toys. The first episode was on Star Wars. I learned a whole lot about Kenner and how they came to get the Star Wars contract. It's interesting but something about the way they edit the shows, does not make me love it. I feel like it could be more compelling. I'm on Episode 2: Barbie.

Yeah, but none of them had to go to Saskatchewan, so..... Hooray. Actually, you lost to the champs and us, twice, and the Eskimos, and the Stamps... oh, and you lost to Montreal, and BC, and Ottawa... and, well, who didn't you lose to last year?

The TV Thread
I'm finally watching season 2. Only seen the first the episode but it picked up right where the last left off. Brilliant, so far.

"It's all about the playoffs." Okay, great. You lost to a .500 team. Congratulations. Here's your ring. Um, why would Franklin sign there? He's an Argo now and likely to stay. You can have Collaros. He's shattered.

4th in West. B-Side final. Hooray for you. And who do you suppose will be leading you?

Around The League: 2018 Offseason
I had more than $15k in damage to my basement, before replacing personal contents. They've probably spent $15k in assessment and OT just to get the water stopped and drying it out.

They didn't fight each other. They used lightsabers but there was no duel.

The Star Wars Thread
I blocked that whole part out... And now you've brought it back! It made no sense. And clearly, Ben was conflicted, just like Grandpa, so ,why couldn't he be saved like Anakin was?? Who's going to save ME now from this movie?!

Around The League: 2018 Offseason
But the whole team played better under Jones. I wonder what would have happened if Jones had started the season with Collaros? I think he needs a fresh start but he seems damaged. That being said, Buck came here damaged and it worked out okay, despite the dumpster fire around him.

The Star Wars Thread
Let's not forget, that the Dark Side went through this reckoning quite a while ago. The Sith were big and eventually were taken down. That's when it was decided that there would be one Sith Lord and one Sith Apprentice. And, although it took a while, the Sith became ever-powerful again. It makes sense that the Jedi would do the same.

The Star Wars Thread
I truly liked how they connected Rey and Ren. The ability to see one-another and communicate directly was very unique. If the future is without Jedi (or a Jedi order) and it's just a pair of Force-sensitive entities bordering on dark and light, I'm okay with that.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
TUP is in the industry, so that makes sense. And I followed the industry closely, rather than focusing on my studies. So, I have lots of useless knowledge rather than lots of money.

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
All very true TUP! Vince has had some failed ventures but he has fought. He positioned himself perfectly and allowed Turner to pour money into building the industry momentum, then squashed them when it mattered. He knows the wrestling entertainment business.

Random Death Notice 2017
A really great play caller. His tennis coverage is what really sticks in my mind. I watched all the major tournaments when I was young and really enjoyed his work with NBC. Of course, I remember his baseball and football coverage too. He had a way...

Vince McMahon considers move to bring back the XFL
McMahon has faced many lawsuits over the years for a variety of reasons. Also, this man already lost heaps of money when his last foray into football failed. So, there is a precedent. He's also not self-made but he did take his dad's company to remarkable heights.

The Star Wars Thread
That would be some timeline. Bring back the Mandalorians! Side note: I thought Rey looked much older in this film. Something about her face in the first one made her look exceptionally young but she seemed to age about 5 to 8 years by The Last Jedi.

US Politics
I'm thinking about two steps down the road. If the North Korean regime is overthrown, it becomes more likely that there is a one-Korea outcome. That would only work for China, if the US was not allowed to maintain a military presence on the peninsula.
