Biggest Rivalry in the CFL: Regina Winnipeg
Even Rod Pedersen was stretching hard this morning for positives. In fact, most of the "positives" for Riders were negatives about comments that the Bombers were making. Almost like he was trying to manufacture bulletin board material. I usually turn TSN 1290 off when Rod is on but I couldn't reach the radio. I still have headache.

According to Dunk, Muamba has had his knee drained of fluid.

Um, touché?

Depth Charts Week 1 Bombers vs Riders
I don't think Bagg is healthy. I think he's in cause Muamba is out. I would be surprised if he can do very much out there.

But if he comes back before six games, the salary still counts. They must think he's really hurt.

I want Corney to make a big jump this year.

We're just starting 7 Oline to show off to the Riders.

Shaq Murray Lawrence
Only helps Saskatchewan if they're prepared to start him and I don't see that happening.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
I read that article and my head hurts. It's such a mess. Who's editing this mess?? It's totally unclear but Jones MUST be referring to Eskimos but the amount of references to the "CFL" and starting their "first game" is just weird. It's like Jones was told to write six inches but only had enough material for two.

What else would he start as?

All the Rider picks are emotional, not based on the on-field product.

Regular Season - Bomber News, Developments & Speculation
Thinking about Saturday, Jones is going to go crazy with the amount of pomp and circumstance around the new stadium opening. It drives him crazy to have his team out there for the national anthem, never mind a whole ceremony. I bet his anxiety rubs off on his team and they come out flat and distracted.

US Politics
Interesting that a Republican President is proposing an internet tax. That will play well.

Regular Season - Bomber News, Developments & Speculation
Totally emotional. They all want to believe in Jones because they all lauded the hiring by Saskatchewan. And, they're opening the new stadium.

Jets Prospects
What scares me about Thorburn on the Moose is all the 'fighters' going after him to make a name for themselves. If he can go, just play and not have to fight every chump, then I'm happy.

Jets Prospects
Retire... yeah, sure.

Thorburn is only 3 days from being re-signed.

2017 NHL Off Season
I was thinking more match-up wise, rather than suggesting how much they actually play. Perreault is always an option at centre but only during as a result of an injury. He's just never established himself as a consistent centre with the Jets. Whether that's on MoPo or not, I'm not sure.

Solving Our Goaltender Problem
Said, no, to what? I would say the Jets are doing their due diligence, like any professional hockey team would. You need to determine what is available, at what cost. I would still say Elliott is their number one target. Cost-term-reality wise. But that's an opinion based on what's been reported.

2017 NHL Off Season
I don't disagree with this. Are you calling the 3rd line the "checking" line here? If so, I agree. I could even see Perreault out there on the 3rd, with Connor taking his spot on the 2nd line. I believe the trio of Connor, Roslovic and Lemieux will all start with the Moose. There will be injuries that will give them opportunities during the season to play for the Jets. Maybe they take someone's spot, permanently.

Raising Minimum Wage Disastrous
I wonder if this will be the case? Aren't we moving to a dispose and replace society?

Raising Minimum Wage Disastrous
This is quite the study. Very robust and detailed from what I've heard and read. I would like to see this replicated in other markets to determine if it remains statistically significant. It's certainly has economists talking. McDonalds? Forget McDonalds. They're moving to automated systems. In one generation we're not going to have many of the low-wage jobs that we currently have. Like manufacturing, it will all be automated. We need to move past the idea that jobs are "coming back" to North America. They just don't need labour any longer.

Drew Wolitarsky
Chris Jones is the coach/GM/equipment manager for the team in Saskatchewan. If Drew can blow up a safety, surely, he can blow up Jones.

2017 NHL Off Season
Seems so bizarre to say this but... the Oilers are in trouble for if they sign McDavid to that contract. He's worth so much more but it's going to cripple them. Ah, the salary cap! The hope is that they can attract players for less just for the chance to play with McDavid.
