Upcoming Movies
I made a post on reddit about Jurassic world 2 and I hope to god the studio just trolls everyone and makes the entire thing a legal drama dealing with all the law suits resulting from the events of Jurassic World and they never once show a dinosaur or have any action sequences. That would just make me the happiest because we don't need another dinosaurs eat everyone at a park movie.

Matt Nichols To Be "Mic-ed Up" This Weekend
That and stop killing the game with too many penalties and replays. But you're absolutely right. Tickets are getting too expensive. It's like 35 bucks to sit in the crappiest seats in McMahon and I'm not saying 35 bucks is a ton of money but it's getting out of that affordable family fun range. CFL has always been about accessibility and the pricing is getting away from that.

Lock of the Week 20
serves me right for picking a Bomber last week, I'll think about the matchups and make a pick later.

The TV Thread
I finished watching it yesterday and I enjoyed it but it fell off in the last couple of episodes I thought. Won't spoil anything but just lost some of it's appeal based on where they went with the story in my opinion. Still liked it more than Daredevil, but again the 2nd season of that started out really well and fell off after the punisher stuff became a secondary focus. Jessica Jones probably still my favourite one they did on Netflix and that's probably purely based on the villain.

Guess Lapo will have to call a vanilla game plan so no one steals his play book.... oh wait a minute....

Around The League Regular Season Discussion
O'Shea and Nichols defending the guys they got is no shocker, the fact that O'Shea didn't come out and say "pass" is encouraging. He'll line up whoever Walters brings in for him. Only question is whether or not Kyle Walters thinks they need to add a receiver or not.

Harris/Flanders
if we're going to go two and out anyway might as well pound the crap out of a defense. But Lapo's gonna Lapo

Miller starting contract extension talks with Walters O'Shea
why can't we find bit receivers with good hands like Manny Arceneaux or SJ Green etc etc etc? Why do we have to choose? Kyle Walters needs to get his ass in gear and find some guys who can play from the states because right now the smurf brigade isn't cutting it. Can't have them all be midgets and expect it to work. Was comical to see Smith trying to go deep on Watkins, Watkins just has to be close and it's impossible to complete a deep ball to Smith because of the size mismatch.

Harris/Flanders
we don't use one running back enough to justify putting a 2nd one on the roster. Sad but true. Our receivers are hurting and a bunch of smurfs and we still try and win with a heavy passing game. Should just let the big old boys on the OL tee off and run the crap out of the ball.

GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg
The reffing was absolute garbage and it was garbage both ways and both coaches did the complete bullshit throw the flag for something just hoping there's an issue. That needs to be fixed by the CFL pretty damned quick cause it's a joke when something that happens completely away from a play can be reviewed and take the play off the board. Over reaction to one missed call in a playoff game and now we have to deal with horrible reviews because of it. I dunno who this ref was but I was less impressed with his crew this game than I was with the Bombers and that should say something. I ain't saying the Bombers lost because of the reffing, the Bombers were full marks for losing this game but it's hard to watch them lose AND watch the refs run around the field with their heads up their asses.

GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg
Alarm bells were ringing when Darian Durant and the hapless Riders started shredding them but they still got enough errors from the Riders and Argos to win the games, but we saw these last two weeks what happens when teams don't make those mistakes. That's the game plan for Winnipeg now, just don't **** around and cough up the ball and they won't beat you.

Yeah I am as big a Wild fanboi as there is and he was awful last night. Just awful.- In Case You Missed It -
There's only one football, if we had an all american cast someone would be left over and we'd be sitting here complaining that he's no good we should just use a canadian if we're never going to throw to them anyway. I got no problems with Kohlert and JFG, they can do the job that's asked of them.- World Cup of Hockey
- World Cup of Hockey
yeah but the guys who do understand how to play with Crosby have an easy time of it. Just let Crosby do all the work and finish the chances he sets you up for.- GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg
a win here would be absolute huge. 9 wins and I don't think there's any way you miss the playoffs, a win and it makes Edmontons chances catching you so slim. Bottom line just win baby. by hook or by crook just win what ever it takes.- World Cup of Hockey
riding shotgun to Sidney Crosby who really was the guy stirring the drink for Canada. Sorry but Marchand just cashed in on Crosby. Knew his role and did the job but Crosby was the real star.- Johnny Adams Trade to Ticats
Hamilton has lots of receivers as is and needs dbs for this year cause thanks to the shitty shitty east they got a chance? I mean it's really simple roster management. They believe they have an excess of receivers so they trade a neg list guy for a defensive back that will help them this season. If you could get import receivers on your own easily then we wouldn't be in a situation where we had to go FA shopping and then bring Denmark off the beach when a couple injuries hit. This team hasn't exactly had aces from their receiver recruiting.- Lock of the Week 15
and if it turns out Harris plays and Flanders doesn't I change my pick to him but seems like it'll be Flanders.- Lock of the Week 15
Flaaaaaaaaaannnnnnndddddddddeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrssssssssssss- general trade thread to spit ball ideas
Plus they added a top 4 defenseman to Kane in order to get a top 4 defenseman and some misc pieces. Not like kane was the only part of that deal.- Johnny Adams Trade to Ticats
yeah guys with no negatives on the scouting reports are the super stars in the NFL, and even some of them probably had question marks about them too. Bottom line is that you gotta see how he does up here before judging him. Anyone have a comparison of this guys scouting report to Darvin Adams who a lot of people around here are pining for? I have a suspicion that Adams has a bunch of negatives on his too.- Johnny Adams Trade to Ticats
This really isn't too big a surprise, lots of depth at the position and Adams hasn't been the same coming back from injury so move a potential big ticket in the offseason and run with the younger players you have. Assuming they got someone they are really interested from the neg list.- general trade thread to spit ball ideas
well that might be how it works in fantasy land but the real world is a lot harsher. Other teams know that Winnipeg is at a disadvantage in this situation and no one wants to tinker that much with what they've already built at this point in the year they will be reluctant to give up already developed players. Teams get attached to their developed players. - 3 stars plus HH
