sweep the leg

Madani is a drama queen. He really is. Everyday he has about a dozen posts where all he does is RT somebody involved in the process & add "Boom" or something else stupid to the end of it for dramatic effect.

Just open it in a new incognito window, your number of read articles number goes back to zero. I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the tip.

He's already a billionaire. What's $2B more? From what I've read, he's got a pretty big ego and taking away his toy is a pretty big blow to it. Apparently he loved playing the bigshot sitting in the expensive seats at the Staples Centre.

Penton tweeted, & I agree, that it's a positive sign that the players have backed away from the cap being fully tied to revenue. Now it looks like a fight over numbers, rather than about philosophy. IMO that's an easier problem to solve.

Madani now says memos have been sent out by the PA to the players to expect a strike.

Offer also asked for $15k one time payment to each veteran player. CFL walked out rather than counter.

CFLPA offer of $5.8M cap increasing by 3% each year was just rejected by the CFL, per Madani.

I totally agree on this Me too. I like Hall.

Edit: Deleted my post. I know better than to respond to Brandon in a topic like this.

not the smartest thing to do, im sure you get caught doing that and you wont be allowed back. why would anyone live stream a practice? It just doesn't make sense at all. It's almost like doing a disservice to the team. I'd suspect if people live stream a practice, that's the last one they will open to the public. All good points. He probably hadn't thought about any of that until you pointed it out.

Yeah they are a sect of the Mennonite faith. If you go to the Steinbach Mennonite museum you'll see the migration maps from Europe to North America. As far as I know there are no Amish people in BC or Manitoba. There's an amish settlement (is that the right word?) between Gladstone & Neepawa.

Doug Brown said that after the last round of negotiations one of the owners commented that they "bent the players over the boardroom table". I'm not sure why they brought this guy back again. I'll have to watch the PA's press conference now. I've read in a few places that it was amateur hour.

Never happen. Maatta is worth more than Kane by himself, never mind adding in a 40 goal scorer. Postma is a throw in.It would take a huge offer to pry Maatta out of Pittsburgh. Maata is not worth more than Kane. If he is then Let's trade Trouba for Crosby. That's not much worse than the other trades you've come up with.

Penton saying that the Bombers have extended Greg Peach. Also said the Stamps signed Gerald McRath.

A cap team isn't going to want a backup goalie who's making nearly $4M/yr. A good backup option for them would be a guy like Stalock from SJ or Johnson from Boston.

Wonder if we'll see him join Johnson in Ottawa?

So much for the league not negotiating publicly.

Maybe he thinks their NI talent isn't what it used to be. When they were stacked he could take those chances.

Nice to see another DE signed. There aren't very many listed on our roster right now.

Bobby Orr. No dman would have come close to his numbers if he had stayed healthy. Lemieux was the most talented guy I've ever seen play the game. It was unfair how much better he was than anybody else on the ice. Lemieux on those Oilers teams from the '80s would have been crazy. He made Rob Brown a star...

It's pretty crazy that he ran the ball over 900 times in college.

I had a blueberry beer at Luxalune in Winnipeg, but it didn't have any blueberries floating in it. It was really good, but I wouldn't be able to drink it all night.

Beat me to it. Interesting signing. If he can stay healthy he could be a good one. That's a pretty big if though.
