Cuz he cries, acts and fights like a toddler when he gets consistently washed out by an olineman? 🙂

Yup that’s an outstanding rule. Definitely a keeper.

From the Sportsnet staff: 'To say the Nashville Predators‘ slow start to the season is confusing, after a summer filled with notable acquisitions, would be an understatement. Just ask general manager Barry Trotz. “Sometimes you can’t explain the unexplainable,” he said Thursday when asked by reporters about the Predators’ 9-17-6 start to the year'. I'll take a stab at explaining it. You can't buy a Stanley Cup. You can't simply buy high priced talent expecting them to gel automatically and integrate with their existing talent and work as a well oiled machine. I know it's petty but really hoping the Predators continue to crash and burn. No sympathy here.

Another random question popped into my mind last night out of no where: What achievements can be directly and/or indirectly attributed to RA's CFL leadership tenure?

Rangers have gone from Stanley Cup contenders to everything’s for sale mutiny is on hand in very short order. That’s a shame to quote Jerry Seinfeld eating his popcorn.

Well if you took the bolded sentence above at face value, not sure why you're not sure whether he was fired or retired.

Paging Brenden Dillion type defensemen, please come in. Over.

Sure but just from an elite athlete perspective, from an Olineman to a scat back and everything in-between, there are some (but not all) consistencies in what science is telling them to put into their bodies to help with performance.

Being outshot doesn't necessarily mean bad. It's where the shots are coming from is the important part. And if the analytics are suggesting the Jets are giving up way too many high quality opportunities for their opponents, then yes adjustments, additions are needed stat. Imagine having Helle and a lock down D, defensive scheme in place? Success.

The low scores across the board sans Hamilton on nutrition and diet fascinate me being that these men are professional athletes. Is this a cost issue?

Bring your popcorn. 🙂

Jets looked lost at times in the third, seemed like little structure. Lost a lot of stick and board battles. Helle played on top of his game. Had PL’s number. A win is win. Take it move on.

Stanley with a giveaway right at the end of the second bailed out by Helle. Groan.

Apparently Savard/Evans can cross check and check from behind as they please.

You think Ford has hit his ceiling?

Elks gonna be an interesting team to watch this upcoming season. Just have no sense in where they're gonna land.

Didn’t know where to put this so putting it here. Protect **** Van Dyke at all costs. The man is a legend and continues to give so much to this world at 99 years young.

Great, now we have to play the Habs who are coming off a 9-2 drubbing. Hoping we don't see the headline the day after the game reading something like 'Habs respond with big win over the Jets'. Hoping it reads more like, 'St-Louis on very thin ice as Habs get thumped again'.

I would add 'in general' right after the word Toronto. 🙂

For some of us, don't care. Welcome to a Winnipeg Blue Bomber site. Enjoy your stay.

If that happens, the true mettle of being a 100% lifelong hardcore Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan will be tested but won't be broken. Always gotta cheer for the team and the league no matter what.

I will make an even better argument. (pause for effect) Argos suck, will continue to suck and will always suck, not from the Grey Cup as you suggested, but from things that aren't aesthetically pleasing nor smell well. Amen. Happy Holidays!

Nope didn't work as a substitute teacher, he worked as a predator during the off season.

I've never liked you. Read that Arniel inserting Chibrikov will bring a little ball of hate and feistiness to our lineup, maybe that's his rationalization with these other moves, dunno.

Could be. Could also be other career employment opportunities with longer term permanency than football offers. Could be not wanting to put further wear and tear on the body. Could be 'other'. Could also be a combination of some/all of the above.
