Game 59 : Stars @ 24 Games Left
Maybe, we're the problem? Have we considered making changes to the fans?

Bombers Off-Season Transactions
Balderdash! But, was Bennett offered a contract/opportunity with the Bombers? Presuming that they really wanted him, the Bombers could have gotten a deal done, no?

CFL Combine
You're going to have to take a chance on who might stick around the NFL a while. That's not going to be fun for GMs.

Couldn't you have signed him off of your practice roster?

Bombers Off-Season Transactions
Unexpectedly? If the Bombers wanted to sign him, the could have. They chose to leave him exposed.

CFL Combine
I don't think is much different than the NFL combine down south, where the elite prospects skip the entire event. Why not make the teams come to you, on your turf, under your ideal conditions? You can design the whole thing to play to your strengths. And, there are probably many who will have a shot at an NFL camp.

JT had the benefit of film on the Donald. He knew what play he was going to use beforehand.

Not like we can claim that either.

I'm sure the $1M figure is on the high side and considers the cost to set up the security... But no, that's on the taxpayers. It's about security. Also, when his kids travel on Trump business, they also get the full protection of the secret service, the bill footed by the taxpayers. That's millions already sunk into Trump business trips. The fleecing of America is on.

Saw this nugget the other day.... $1M/day to keep Melania Trump in Trump tower in NYC and Flint still doesn't have clean water.

Free Agency Frenzy
Looking at the FA class, you could really turnaround your team if you pick carefully and act aggressively. Last year, the Bombers made the biggest splash and had the biggest impact on their roster. Harris and Medlock were worth every penny. Saskatchewan has an opportunity to overhaul their roster within a couple of days.

Game 58 : Lightning @ 25 Games Left
I love this. Where do you see this "trading block"? Where is the Jets' list of players they're looking to trade?

First sexual assault by Syrian refugee in Canada
Dan the Magic Man pleads guilty to 2 counts of child pornography There's no mention of this man's ethnicity or where he was born. I wonder why CBC is hiding that information and protecting him?

First sexual assault by Syrian refugee in Canada
That doesn't fit the narrative, so, no, CBC didn't have anything up. Rah, rah, rant, rant, promote hate and intolerance.

Just check Manziel's Intragram account. If he did something, it's on there.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
Sounds like a GM giving his coach a vote of confidence! "Pack your bags, dear, we're moving to Seattle!"

Around The NHL 2016/2017
I'm not sure we know what info the NHL had or didn't have. But I wasn't trying to make a point, other than the timing worked out well for the NFL. And, well, it's never a good time for the NHL. I can understand why they plead ignorance but I wish the NHL would protect players more than they based on the science that's available today.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
The emergence of the CTE science to a point where it's allowed the players to take the leagues to court, couldn't have come at a better time for the NFL. They're rich, making heaps of money. They have a guaranteed income streams for the next ten years. It's still the top league in the US, with lots of interest. The NFL was able to afford the repercussions of the settlement far more than the NHL will be able to. The NHL already teeters financially with lots of struggling franchises.

GAA is a fancy stat now? Good god. Anyways, then Helle needs to play the rest of the games because he has the best fancy stats, non-fancy stats, wins, winning percentage, whatever else you want. And you can't call up Comrie because he doesn't have any Ws.

CHL players seek compensation in minimum-wage lawsuit
Oh yes. That's a huge issue. Players move. If you're truly elite, then you go to a prep school with a top coach and other top players.

CHL players seek compensation in minimum-wage lawsuit
The alternative is that you have elite players all moving to certain neighbourhoods to play at a certain, elite hockey school. It already happens at the lower levels. I'm not sure drafting is the answer but I don't know what is.
