I believe in Trouba's rookie year he launched the "Jacob Trouba" app. I'm not sure what the function of the app was but apparently it was not very successful.

IMO the jury is still out on Pickard. He has had a very similar career to Hellebuyck thus far.

I don't think it's quite at the same level but without knowing how much "social workers" get paid I cannot form an opinion either way about their salaries.

I think it's also worth pointing out that the dangers faced by law enforcement and emergency responders are not just physical ones. Seeing dead bodies, abused children, and other atrocities is actually quite common and takes a heavy toll on the mental health of many of these workers. So while every cop might not have been in a gunfight, almost all have found themselves involved in some kind of disturbing situation.

I mean.... after the sea lion nipped at her once... why turn your back on it and sit within reach... come on! People can be so dumb. She's just a kid but the parents should know better.

Checked out the CWE show last night. Danny Duggan did two matches and they were definitely the best of the night... first one especially. The heels were pretty rude to me so I give them credit for that. But **** I could get in that ring, no doubt about it.

Did I say that? I said "if" he looks like our second best Canadian receiver in camp. I'm willing to give the guy a chance to prove he belongs in his third year. He's here to play receiver. I couldn't care less if he plays special teams.

So if he looks good enough to be our #2 Canadian receiver but doesn't play specials we should cut him?

I don't see why every backup player should have to play special teams. It's not like the Bombers are hurting for Canadians capable of playing special teams... half the roster can do it and then you're probably looking at a few Americans who will be on ST as well because they're just that damn good at it. As a backup receiver I don't see the problem with being just that - a backup receiver. Sometimes you gotta hold on to a guy and develop him for the position he plays rather than just drafting the guy who will be best at chasing down kicks.

Random Death Notice 2017
Prescription pills can be helpful but can also be harmful. Apparently he was on Adavan and suicidal thoughts are one of the side effects. It is tragic. People often try to think of suicide in logical terms like it's something that someone has to be planning forever but really all it takes is one really bad night alone in your head. It is so sad.

Speller is a good prospect. Went undrafted this year... he's played every spot on the line & tight end. Probably a centre/guard in the CFL. Played on the same line as Zach Intzandt who was a Bomber pick last year and will be back in camp this year.

Feels like there should be a wager on this. Who is man enough to bet against TUP?

Around The NHL 2016/2017
Pro athletes gamble on themselves all the time. You don't get to that level without having an incredible level of self-confidence. Unless he absolutely bombs (unlikely, and you know he's not even considering that possibility) or gets a career-ending injury (very rare), he's going to end up with a long term deal. It's really not that much of a gamble to be honest.
