2017 Team Awards
These are supposed to be coming out later this morning. Here are Bauming's picks (he is one of the voters). I think I would have to give MOP to Nichols over Harris. Harris hasn't been as effective since Flanders is out of the lineup and based on last game, this team is going no where without Nichols.

Buff needs to hustle back for that puck instead of taking a skate in the park. He gets out hustled, then we get hemmed in, and Columbus goal.- The Star Trek Thread!
The future doesn’t necessarily have to go in a linear trajectory forward in terms of technological advancement. You could introduce some kind of disaster or event that has devastated or collapsed the Federation and give it more of an edgier feel. Would it still be Star Trek without the Federation? Probably not, but you could have the show trying to rebuild it.- CFL Expansion
I think it is kind of a chicken and the egg thing. Who wants to spend that much money on a stadium (typically government will need to step up here) when no one really knows if a CFL team will be supported.- CFL Expansion

Of course, that has always been the argument. Why do you think First Nations are allowed to own and operate casinos? The argument has been that gambling has always been part of their culture before everyone from Europe showed up. http://www.lazchar.com/2016/04/11/aboriginal_first_nations_gamibling-law_canada/ Now if you want to argue that this history has nothing to do with owning and operating casinos, I don't think I'd argue that. Don't at all agree with the lawsuit. But the precedent has been set in Canada and the US that gaming is part of the First Nations culture.- Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)

Interesting comments from his agent. Apparently there has been no contact for two weeks. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/bombers-draft-choice-cut-by-nfl-wants-money-or-freedom-agent-says-451283713.html So basically they want a lot of money and likely only for the remainder of this year.- Bombers @ Argos: Dressler Return? + Lapo Must Call Deep Balls To Non-Lankfords Edition
