Jets Remove Scoreboard
Actual size (and definition) of the screen itself is what matters most to me. The "jumbotrons" at IGF really bother me, for a new stadium they seem real small and not that much bigger than Canad Inns.

We're wearing the Retros!
Wouldn't surprise me to see a new Jets jersey before the bozos on Chancellor Matheson switch to Royal Blues full-time. The marketing staff is more concerned with paying fans who may boo the home team rather than the inferior product they peddle.

The Jets' RFA's after this year.
There is absolutely no doubt the team can afford long term deals for both Ladd & Buff. Whether they want to prioritize those 2 (particularly Buff) ahead of guys like Trouba & Scheifele is the real question.

2015 NHL Free Agency
Sign Buff. Unless it's a real outlandish deal, a trade down the road isn't out of the question anyways. Besides you'd think he has more value to another club with term left, rather than a pending UFA at season's end.

Bombers Trade for Matt Nichols
Well yeah, Brohm is better than Rodgers though, dontchaknow!? GO PACKERS!
-
Brohm to start LDC?
Brohm's starting? Sure hope we give Walker & Marshall 40+ carries then. Or, just punt on first down. Either is preferable.

2015 NHL Draft And Trade Rumours
I wouldn't want that deal either, but Loui is far from a bad player. In fact, he could be a nice pickup as I bet he improves greatly getting out of Boston. In 4 years from '07-'11 in Dallas he missed 3 games total and averaged 70 points per season.

2015 NHL Draft And Trade Rumours
Buff to Bruins does seem to have some legs - getting mentions both here and in BOS. Most articles I've seen suggest Loui Eriksson could be a trade candidate. Erikisson, 1st & prospect. This is the latest post I've seen about it...for those not restricted at work! http://www.bostonsportsdesk.com/with-smoke-surrounding-byfuglien-to-boston-continuing-to-swirl-sweeney-should-start-a-fire/

2015 NHL Free Agency
We have one already. Comrie, Eric. Comrie will probably play in the ECHL to get in as many games as possible. Really? That's the first I've seen that suggestion. For me, the talent drop off is too great there. Besides, in 4 seasons in the WHL he only averaged 42 games. To me, 30-34 starts in the AHL is better than 60 in the ECHL.

True North Announcement
Here's hoping!! Honestly, as "major" business announcements go, I'd find dressing room & Ice Plex upgrades kind of underwhelming. EDIT: Especially given the contract uncertainty of 2 of the club's most important players.
-
2015 NHL Free Agency
For the life of me, just don't get not even talking to Buff's agent. What does a lack of communication accomplish? Can we assume then that the Jets know exactly where he stands & that trade scenarios have been looked at all summer? 'Cuz if not, what the heck are we doing this offseason?

Jets Prospects
Important to remember: opening day lineup is never the same as the one you (hopefully) start the playoffs with. Chevy proved last season he'll act at the deadline to bring in rentals; no reason to believe he'd avoid doing the same in a similar situation this season.

Jets Prospects
Stempniak wanted back, but Jets looking to go younger in bottom 6. No surprise, really. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/free-agent-stempniak-wanted-to-remain-a-jet/

Anyone know if NASCAR post game is on tv anywhere?

Lock of the Week 7
Cam Marshall.

Drew Willy to start tomorrow
Awesome news he starts, but bigger question is does he finish the game? What did I hear on 1290 yesterday, 5 of the last 12 he's been knocked out of? We can debate our backup QBs until Saskatchewan gets dental care, but if we can't protect the QBs, and keep them healthy, what does it matter?

Lock of the Week 6
So many people on Harris this week, there's no way he scores. In that spirit, I'll take him.

It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
Rod is on the Riders payroll. Might as well be. Didn't he get a ring along with the rest of the team when they won the Grey Cup back in 2013. I'm not kidding here, that's what I thought I heard. That is actually kind of funny, but seriously doubt that is true. Rod isn't the 13th man. I am and have been for my entire life and I didn't get a ring. Sucks for you and the other 11 guys.

Rod is on the Riders payroll. Might as well be. I'm pretty sure gbill was serious - I think he's asked Rod that directly before.

It's time for the Riders to start sucking ...
I don't usually participate in twitter exchanges, especially when it comes to defending media members, but christ does Pederson ever deserve some F-U's sent his way. "How to act like a pouting, fanboy, baby for $100, Alex."
