  1. The greed is sickening. Maybe this will help keep the Raiders in Oakland but knowing Mark Davis he'll move his inheritance to the Gaza Strip if they gave him enough money.
  2. RIP Jake LaMotta, before my time but I knew of him through boxing video games(when they used to make them). One of the greats for sure. Tyson was one of a kind. Unfortunately mentally he wasn't there and boxing is not a sport where you can just rely of your physicality. When his beloved trainer passed away, Tyson went off the rails. He was a father figure to him(kind of like the Rocky movies were Rocky's trainer dies in Rocky III) so when he passed away his closet friend probably became Don King. And we know how that turned out... Nah Holyfield completely shut him down with his counters, Tyson was frustrated beyond belief. That and the fanman were the last two PPV fights our family bought back when boxing was king. I remember my grandparents had a satellite dish on Pender Island, all my aunts and uncles and cousins were there. We were getting ready to watch Tyson's fight so around 30 of us in front of the TV and the fight lasted literally 45sec. lol. You see these references on Seinfeld and Simpsons, and other shows, were they tune into a fight only to see the ref counting to 10 lol. That is what it was like in Tyson's hay day, knockout power like no one else that's for sure.
  3. I like the Rams rush jersey, 49ers rush jerseys are hideous. I am with a lot of you, did not expect a NCAA style shootout. Highest scoring game in TNF history, they needed that. I gotta admit, I thought Goff would be a colossal bust but he looks pretty good provided he keeps it simple. The Rams are really building a high octane offense with Goff, Gurley and Watkins. I still wish them and that seedy owner nothing but playoff failure though
  4. Not a huge issue but sometimes when my PS4 loads I cannot play any of my games due to a licensing issue. It gets rectified when I restart the system, nothing big just an annoyance I suppose.
  5. Well the Pats could use a receiver, while their at it bring Megatron out of retirement But yes, it is so moronic to be suspended 2 years for smoking pot yet we have team doctors over prescribing mind altering pain killers like it's going out of style. That's one thing the CFL does right, and that is not test for weed. It's not a performance enhancer so I just don't understand the fuss about it, especially since it's becoming legal in more places every year. Yes I realise that pot is also mind altering but nowhere near as addictive.
  6. Quit living in the past. Burrows is gone, he needed to be dealt and somehow Benning performed a miracle and got a good prospect in return. +1, I 'll get you out of that red rep. wise. Agreed If any former Canuck deserves a permanent pinned thread it's Trevor Linden. Are the mods implying Burrows meant more to this city than Linden? Cuz Linden scored in game 7 of the SCF....twice.
  7. True but we're the Madden generation so it's a little easier for some of us to comprehend
  8. Brett #$%^ing Bossy He did what he had to do, and that was to give Management and Coaching absolutely no choice but to start him with the big club when the NHL season starts. I honestly don't know how anyone can say he needs more time in the AHL, management would get absolutely shredded in the media and in the dressing room if that happened. We need goals, we need to get younger, we need something to get the fans excited about and Boeser Brett #$%^ing Bossy checks all the boxes.
  9. http://nypost.com/2017/09/20/yankees-reduced-to-tears-after-kid-struck-by-foul-ball/ So sad. They honestly need to put mesh netting around the park like some teams have already done, sometimes foul balls travel so fast that people don't have time to react let alone little kids. I hope the little girl will be ok. I didn't include the video.
  10. The Vancouver Canucks visited an orphanage for abandoned kids 10 & under in Surrey today:
  11. I had a racing snail, I thought it would be faster if I removed it's shell... What do you call a sleepwalking nun? I can cut a piece of timber just by staring at it. I have lots of unemployment jokes, but none of them work.
  12. Essentially removing kickoffs has really hurt the game imo. I miss watching players like Deon Sanders, Devin Hester, and Josh Cribbs take it to the house. I realise it was due to safety but I mean no one is going to tune in to watch flag football if they keep this up. They were 25 kick return td's in 2007 and just 7 last year, now kickoffs are just a waste of time. I just think it was a half ass way of trying to save face 'oh we're making our game safer' yet on the next play it's open season as usual.
  13. I admit I only saw the highlights but the first thing I noticed was Virtanen playing on the left side. Good, good.
  14. Imagine its the Sedins last year and they finally found that elusive right handed sniper line mate everyone has been clamouring for lol Management would get booed feverishly, and rightfully so, if they sent Boeser down. Benning is not that dumb or obtuse(or acute for that matter), he'll make room for Boeser if need be. As for Rodin, if he is the 13th forward on the 2nd worse team how much value, if any, can he possibly have?
  15. They were Southpole jeans and were ridiculously big, MC Hammer would be jealous.
  16. Was cleaning around and came across my dreaded high school yearbook. Dear god I was non-existent, in 5 years I never had a pic in the yearbook aside from a class photo. My grad year only 2 of my friends gave me a 'shout out' and both were just about my pants. High School was such a popularity contest and I didn't even try to socialise.
  17. = sarcasm. But that aside, the optics of Benning's top 10 picks don't look good now and if fans want to criticize that have every right too. Virtanen, Juolevi and now Petterson have all been out shined by players taken after them.
  18. Maybe Benning should trade down when he gets a top 10 pick
  19. San Francisco 2.0 (Documentary) 7/10 A look at how the booming tech industry is driving rent and home prices insanely high and displacing residents that called that city home for generations. The look at the economic division within the city can be applied to Vancouver as well. It was a good watch, and for people like me a scary look at how things may turn out(getting priced out of the city you call home).
  20. I agree, so glad he replaced Phil Vanilla Simms in the booth. Gruden is still my favorite color guy but Romo is getting up there. I noticed they put Rex Ryan in the pregame studio and I thought he did pretty good there as well as oppose to doing color. Pats/Saints and Falcons/Packers games were entertaining offensive wise but neither were really close.
  21. Yup, plus they have to wear those ugly jerseys too.
  22. Great fight but no way that was a draw. Oh well, rematch.
  23. GATORS!!! Nice walk-off hail mary to beat Tennessee today.
  24. I'm gonna put on an iron shirt; and chase satan out of earth

      Ha, lagwagon was alright.  Screw 32 and Good Riddance were my fav fat wreck punk bands.  I had the fat wreck chords video compilation on VHS haha way back in the 90's.

      Nice! I remember that vid, my brother had, maybe still has it.

  25. The problem with Andy Dalton is that he is a Ginger wasp and his eyebrows cover his eyes making it difficult for him to see down the field.
