JCon

Just looked out of my office window in downtown Winnipeg and it looks like there are already some people tailgating in the back alley. Although, at that pace, they may not make it game time but I like their spirit! For The W!!

It's time to open the bottom drawer and close my office door.

Of Jones or the QB?

With this weather, this team and this crowd, IGF will be rockin' tonight!! I'm so pumped. I might leave work now and start tailgating.

Oh yeah, that alone pushes him to the top of the list. Now I'm angry again. I shake my fist at you, once again, Tim Burke!

Now we're going to lose and he's going to point at you in the stands when he lights up the Bombers tonight!

The risk/reward rests entirely with the organization. If the Jets do well, it may cost a bit more to keep PoMo but if they don't they're not paying beyond this year. I hope they wait too.

Matthias is not a trade candidate. They've been adding depth and he's exactly the type of depth they need. Only way he's traded is if they have someone who is much better but that can sit in the pressbox for stretches. I don't see that on the team.

It's game day.

I like that Loffler is channeling his inner Baron Van Raschke, threatening the Riders with the Claw!

It was probably a professor.

I don't see how the record going into a game has an effect on the outcome of the game.

Exactly. He represents the business interests of the league. It's not a zero-sum game. Improving the Argo brand also improves the league.

Up to Jets to decide the years, 1 or 2 years. I wonder if they'll take 2 knowing that he's going in as the 2 (or 1b) goalie and may not get much of chance as the 1 (or 1a) goalie, hurting his negotiations next year?

Agreed. It will hurt a lot less in the back half of this contract, when, presumably, the salary cap goes up.

McDavid gets $100M over 8 years. $12.5M AAV.

When considering the costs of the Mosaic Stadium, how does the purchase the railyard from CP and redevelopment of the area fit in?

Can't keep Harris off the board. HA33IS.

Never underestimate Edmonton!

They pay two guys 10m per year.

You like their top-6? I like their top-3. Benn-Seguin-Radulov Awesome! Janmark-Hanzal-Spezza Um, Hanzal a great 3 or 4 centre and Spezza is old and slow, and really old, and getting slower, and he's old.

Even if the Habs offered him the same contract, he would still make >$800k more per year in Dallas. They couldn't match it.

Which were needed when Pav was so out of position.

But who had played MLB in the past! Made it seem like Muamba was in Eguavoen's way and that this might be an upgrade.

I think it's his wife's fam. Otherwise...
