Around The League: 2018 Offseason
I doubt he goes top 10. Maybe first round. However it wouldn't surprise me if pretty much every top QB coming out of the NCAA gets neg-listed. You never know when it might pay off or a guy will flame out of the NFL early.

He is still on Hamilton's... these lists are only partial. 10 out of up to 45 names. Nope.

I love those games too but I wouldn't shed any tears if they went away. 2011 East Final in -30 weather was a little much. I had a great time and the result was good.... but I still felt bad for the players.

If you aren't white, it's okay to be a criminal. It's not your fault, it's the system's fault.

Around the NHL 2017/2018
The non-hockey-experienced "analysts" would be a lot more bearable if they didn't think their opinions were the gold standard just because they have some numbers attached. Gotta love the analytics nerds and cap-junkies who criticize GMs and coaches like they actually have any clue at all. My biggest pet peeve is "line optimization"... gimme a break. It's like the pesudoscience of the sports world. They over-value statistical analysis and undervalue anything that can't be directly quantified. And the worst of them draw shoddy conclusions from numbers that don't say what they think they do. I think there is a place for statistical analysis but it would be nice if the goofballs who swear by it also acknowledged its gaps and shortcomings.

I've refused to get a subscription so far based solely on the fact that I've seen ads every day for two weeks telling me "Get 50% off an Athletic subscription TODAY ONLY!!!"

Game 59 : Cruise Capital of the World @ Sunday Night Cruising
Only guy I'd want is Rick Nash or maybe Patrick Maroon if he came cheap

I've still yet to see any proof of Russian collusion. Yes it would appear that they interfered but I haven't seen the conclusive link to Trump. That would probably be a good reason to remove him. Just haven't seen it yet. Otherwise I agree... let the next election decide. As it should be.

Not much of that is really new or unique to this administration. And not one of those is affecting citizens on a day-to-day basis. America's not perfect but that's not new and it's certainly not a reason to remove the president.

The country seems to be doing okay. At least as well as it did with the last president. So I don't really see the issue.

Or none of this will ever happen. Probably the most likely scenario.

DT is the one spot where there is an abundance of Canadian free agents.

So... maybe not such a big deal.

Kuale? And who else?

So who won free agency?
I couldn't care less about 3down's rankings but I love how upset the Riderfans will be with this.

If we can bring in Muamba by cutting TO I'm all in favour of it. But I also think we probably got a pretty reasonable deal on Roh. Day 4 of free agency and he isn't exactly a superstar.

Game 58 : Legal @ Illegal
So that means top line or Scheifele on the second line with Laine, effectively making it the top line regardless of what you call it. Because there are no other centre options here.

I suspect part of the rationale for bringing in Fenner was protecting against lingering injury issues with Leggett. Maybe he won't be ready for the start of the season and it's not totally uncommon for someone coming back from an achilles injury to have other muscle pulls when they get back on the field at full speed. I think Fenner starts at SAM week one and then we move forward from there. Because it was obvious when Leggett went out last season that "We'll figure out who can play SAM if we need to" isn't a sufficient plan.

I was pretty excited for Wilson last season and thought he had a shot at a LB job out of camp. It didn't materialize but having a year under his belt can only help.
