  1. Hoping for the best there. Also hoping that one recalcitrant group doesn't mess it up for all the others.
  2. I agree that it would be a great thing, but I wonder if they would be able to muster the solidarity (not to mention the cash) to make it happen. I don't have the statistics for how many reserves the proposed pipeline would pass through, but like a lot of polarizing topics, you're going to find vehement opposition from some bands and support from others. Whether they could somehow all agree to such a plan is anybody's guess, but I'm skeptical.
  3. Watched the tail end of a dominating win for Genie over Peng Shuai last night. Genie looked good, but her opponent was just a wild-card entry and looked quite the opposite. (missed a lot of first serves) Unfortunately, Bouchard has Serena next....
  4. I normally don't like to kick players while they're down and I have nothing against the Eagles, but Alshon Jeffrey just might have been overdrawn at the Karma Bank. This is what he said after a week 13 thumping of the Redskins: “Hands down, I think I’ve got the best hands in the league.”
  5. Yeah, he also got barged over by a defender while inside the 18 yd box, but didn't get the penalty call....
  6. Happiest guy right now is the Saints' kicker...
  7. Alphonso Davies made his debut with Bayern today, in the final of the Telekom Cup. He didn't score, but played the full match and showed "flashes of brilliance" according to reports. Bayern defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-2 in penalties.
  8. Is anyone else disappointed in how the kick return game has become such a non-factor in the NFL? I understand the desire to protect players from injury, but these new rules are taking away from the excitement of the game. It's Football, FFS. It's supposed to be a tough game.
  9. I'm just about done with Sportsnet.ca. I log in expecting some NFL coverage, but the main page is wall to wall hockey, basketball, curling and baseball. Nothing on the NFL playoffs. Even the ticker at the top of the page only has the Eagles-Saints. It's like the AFC semi never even happened. BTW: Props to the Patriots organization for the tribute to Brandon Mebane's daughter. Class move.
  10. Yep. Hopefully next week is better....
  11. Bolts really missed an opportunity there.... On the miscommunication between Brady and Edelman, the defender was totally focused on JE. Could have been a pick six if he had been watching the ball...
  12. Can't argue that. Still, I hope some folks will see what PR can do if his O-Line gives him time to throw. I completely agree with your earlier statement that they've been dominated to this point.
  13. Not sure it worked...still, the Bolts just gave that TO back and they needed it more....
  14. Looked like the ball came out, but I don't see a definitive recovery by the Pats....
  15. Agreed. If only he could play defense.....
  16. I don't know if I'd fault Rivers....when he's had time to throw, he's been largely successful. Outside of the opening drive, his O-line has been pretty porous and the defense is making the Chiefs' D look like the Ravens...
  17. It's only 3 pts, but that was an oops....
  18. Did you see the guy on the last punt turn away from Edelman, even though he hadn't called for a fair catch? Maybe is the time difference (I doubt it is) but the Bolts are sleeping through this one.
  19. I guess you could call it defense. However, in my book, when you're midway through the 2nd Q and the opposition has yet to punt, you've got to make some adjustments. I don't buy the argument that the Pats are so good offensively that there's nothing you can do about it.
  20. If the Chargers don't start playing defense pretty soon, this one is going to be over early. They've got to start putting pressure on Brady. He's far too comfortable in the pocket.
  21. Bolts not rolling over....7-7...
  22. Another story with a happy ending. Maybe 2019 will be better? https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/rescuer-of-11-year-old-found-facedown-in-snow-was-in-the-right-place-at-the-right-time/ar-BBS9Og2?li=AAggNb9
  23. When you give him the Pats flag, tell him to cover up that Phish one....or the Stampeders...
