sweep the leg

Any guesses what Wild makes? I'm interested to know how big of a difference there is in pay between him and Burnett.

I can buy that he tries to do too much, which is the opposite of not caring. That's crazy talk to drag Wheeler into that conversation.

Are you seriously making an argument that Wheeler plays like he doesn't care?

I would hope not. I was happy to see how strongly he defended his story in that radio interview. I so badly want this to be true...

A Jones denial means nothing. Dunk has way more credibility than him.

I don't think it could be any better than to have BLM bust them again.

Not really. That was a realistic promise that he just didn't follow through on.

Forgive me if I've already posted this, but Sanders' campaign was like a kid in junior high running for class president who promises longer recesses if he's elected. Everybody cheers b/c who doesn't love recess, but there's really no chance it would ever happen.

So your American friends are ok with white nationalism, but draw the line at political correctness?

Schedule's up. Week 1 bye is pretty shitty. That takes us into a week two stadium opening game with the Riders.

You get a participation award for trying so hard to make the ribbon joke work.

Most of their jobs are probably pretty different than professional wrestling, and certainly you don't believe every person who's working at that age is doing so just to stay active? I suppose as long as they're doing it for fun, and not b/c they'll be living on the street if they don't, is what matters. If that's the case then good for them. There are enough sad stories about old wrestlers that my first assumption is usually that they're doing it b/c they have no choice.

That picture makes me sad for the guys who can't leave the business.

Except one's a skill and not just luck! So not really...

It's not similar at all. In the NHL both teams have an equal opportunity to win from the opening faceoff in ot.

I think Stafford would get us a 4th or 5th rounder. Maybe even a 3rd given the way some trades are structured to improve the pick based on the playoff performance of the team. That might be pushing it though.

The problem seems fairly obvious. Only one team had a chance to score. It's nothing like running up the score, b/c after each td in a blowout the other team at least gets a chance to respond.

1st round pick for a slightly above average goalie is a bad example to give when arguing goalies have zero value. I agree Budaj wouldn't bring much value back though. Too old and I don't trust that this season is any more than a one hit wonder.

Patriots had 60 minutes to win the game too. They were given an advantage in ot due to the flip of a coin and it's ridiculous.

Interesting from Cameron today was that Denmark is still very much in play as a potential re-signing. He also said Bass will most likely go to fa.

And followed that up with "and even then...".

Dallas has had goaltending troubles since Turco retired.

I think this is the first time I've ever read somebody call Thorburn a floater. He's a decent skater, especially for a man his size.

Has a number been put out for what he's asking? I read "starter money", but what does that mean? He can't possibly expect what Messam or Harris are making.

I do to. I think he'll be similar to Chick; so-so in half a season when he came came back to the CFL after a longish stint in the NFL, but regain his old form in the following season.
