If Poolman / Chiarot are going to be the 7th dman, can see Poolman being sent down for the sole reason of getting him play time and not sitting in the press box. 1st call up for injuries though.- US Politics

- Province takes $56M Loss in Stadium Deal
To be clear, this has nothing to do with the Bombers financial obligations to pay off the loan. This is the financing deal the government put in place to build the stadium. The province was supposed to realize a bunch of tax revenue from the development of the old CanadInns stadium grounds that would pay part of the financing to build the stadium. Due to lack of development and the Target building sitting vacant, the government has decided to take a $56M loss as they see no way of recouping the income it was supposed to generate. http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/manitoba/stadium-loan-writedown-province-1.4299473 Don't think this is a big surprise to anyone. The government did what it had to to get the stadium built. Now that there is a new government in power, the get the blame the old government.- Westerman Out For Season

This article came out after the shooting g of a location manager for the 4th season of Narcos. Sounds to me like Pablo’s brother is implying he had the shooting done because they aren’t getting the money they’ve demanded from Netflix. http://globalnews.ca/news/3755184/pablo-escobars-brother-narcos-should-provide-hitmen/ Crazy.- Bomber Bye Week: The Kavis Reed Short Rope Edition

As they blow out the old Reebok jerseys, you can get a Jets jersey fully customized for $80 ($50 for a blank jersey), free shipping on orders over $75. If you sign up for their news letter, you can get an extra $10 off. https://www.coolhockey.com/m43/Winnipeg-Jets/index.html?currency=CAD&language=en Oddly enough when you toggle their prices between US and CAD, they are on par.- Random News Items

The rule is that way to prevent doing exactly what you suggested. How many times does a 3rd string QB play? How many teams would risk putting a Canadian there to get an extra import dresssed? Hell there was a time in the Khari days we were so cheap and so injured we only dressed 2 QBs- Jets sign Little to Extension
I'm guessing he came terms with it with all the merchandise that was sold in year 1 and since If they used Moose, I'm betting the "buy in" from all the fans wouldn't have been the same- 2017 NHL Off Season
Pastrnak signs in Boston. 6 years $40M. He is 21 so this takes him to be a UFA.- Jets sign Little to Extension
Got the TSN notification on my phone. AAV is pretty good for a top 6 center. He is just about to turn 30 and has a year left on his current deal, so this will take him to 37. Not sure he will still be a top 6 center for the last few years of the contract, but the term is the price you pay for a lower AAV. Nice to get him locked up to have Scheifele / Little as your 1 - 2 centers going forward.- Jets sign Little to Extension
