  1. For f*cks sake... Between the Oilers and the Bombers, sometimes I wonder if one of my teams will ever catch a break.
  2. Always my 1st thought when I hear the name.
  3. Update on ticket sales: Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Bombers have now sold 32,054 grey cup tickets, getting closer to a sellout.
  4. So take it off my "to watch" list... got it!
  5. Yes, Last Kingdom airs on Saturdays. Breaking Bad is not coming back, the talk of season 6 is a hoax. http://www.businessinsider.com/breaking-bad-season-6-hoax-2015-10
  6. Here's the last I saw about it: “We are very concerned for him and his health. I had a chance to talk to him on the field,” said Alouettes defensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach Noel Thorpe. “His eyes were wide and he seemed alert and OK. I think the doctors did the right thing taking precautions though. “They were concerned about some numbness in his left arm. He was moving his arms, which was a good sign.”
  7. It's definitely in genesis, saw it on there this morning. I've been watching The Last Kingdom on Kodi. It's essentially Vikings but I like it better (at least so far). It's a new show from the BBC, so if you're into that kind of show, I'd recommend it.
  8. There's a free press add-on for chrome that allows you to read the articles. It's essentially a pop up blocker that prevents the sign in box from appearing.
  9. Perhaps you should use take the extra half second and use proper grammar then (even half-assed grammar would be a step up). I know you have the time.
  10. Can you please explain the above sentence then because right now...
  11. Just a correction. He did not medal at the Pan Am Games I can't even find anything that says he qualified). He did compete at the Pan Am Greco-Roman Championships which is a much different and smaller event , but he never medalled. In 97 he finished 5th, and he competed again in 98 but finished no higher than 4th (I can only find the medals winners for this year). There were no championships in 1999 due to the Pan Am games in Winnipeg, and if he competed in 2000, then he did not medal again in this year.
  12. I was surprised to see that Price has now dropped 6 straight starts against Edmonton.
  13. The kids are putting up a good fight against a hot Canadiens team. Win or lose, coming back from a 3-0 deficit is very impressive. Good to see both Nurse and Draisaitl playing with the big boys.
  14. Thorburn had 8 fights last year which is about par for him (he's averaged 9 fights a year during his career) so I'm not sure where that came from. He fought at least once a month last year until the last 6 weeks of the season.

    The Jays offered him a 4 year deal so clearly his fate wasnt sealed by not making the world series. He chose to leave... And if the reports, about getting chewed out in your 1st and only meeting with your new boss, are true, then I would be reluctant to come back too.
  16. Do you count "beat the traffic" as a song or would that be a chant?
  17. bigg jay replied to nate007's post in a topic in General Discussion
    Yeah I read some of the comments and, if true, then it's pretty easy to see why he's not coming back.

    Surprising news, given the success they had this season, but Anthopoulos is out as Jays GM. http://www.tsn.ca/anthopoulos-leaves-jays-after-rejecting-4-year-extension-1.384678
  19. "It doesn't surprise me. It's not bad or good. He had some bottled-up emotions, apparently, it seems like. So maybe just getting them off his chest might be healthy for him. At the same time, we're not going to be concerning ourselves about that, really. We're concentrating on what we have in this dressing room and going forward that's our focus." Okay, maybe I oversold Thorburns comments, my bad. The Free Press has edited their article since this morning but originally the article had Thorburn mentioning how close he was with "Kaner" but the team moved on almost immediately after the trade.
  20. I believe I know who J5V is now...
  21. Thorburn would be the other option to go with Kane but they were pretty close while he was here so I doubt that would happen.
  22. The Conservatives went after Trudeau for his renos too, donations or not. They said it was " a lavish use of public money". Mulroney had a hot tub installed, which was paid for by donations so it's not much different. It's unfortunate that opposition parties (left or right) try to score political points off of this kind of thing though. God forbid, something happens like an electrical fire burning the place down because the PM was too worried about the backlash.
  23. The pitcher himself can't have an illegal substance on him but positional players can. Pine Tar & rosin are allowed to be used, by anyone except the pitcher, to help grip the ball. FWIW, the Mets do not have an issue with this.
  24. Bucknor is starting. Thats weakness. Getting a legit canadian safety back could allieviate that problem. maybe thats what we are angling for.. We know Bucknor was exposed a lot this season. Waggoner and Newman or Morgan i assume are all potential Safety prospects while Jones I think is a Bucknor 2.0 I'd like to see an all Import secondary. None of the guys you listed (though still unproven) give me anything to hope for, except maybe Waggoner. I hope we sign another CND onlinemen this off season (don't know who is available) and hopefully a solid Dlinemen - Steele anyone? I know he wants to play here. We just need to get it done! Must not want to play here that bad since he signed an extension that'll keep him in Edmonton through 2017 about a week & a half ago.
