  1. One and done for the year. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mri-confirms-aaron-rodgers-has-complete-tear-of-achilles-tendon MRI confirms Aaron Rodgers has complete tear of Achilles tendon Aaron Rodgers’ first season with the Jets ended on the first possession. An MRI this morning confirmed what was feared: Rodgers has a complete tear of his Achilles tendon. That is a season-ending injury. That leaves Zach Wilson as the Jets’ starting quarterback, and currently the only healthy quarterback on their 53-player roster. They’ll surely bring someone else in, but it’s going to be hard to find a starting-caliber quarterback at this point in the season. Wilson was competent for the Jets after Rodgers went down Monday night, but realistically it’s hard to believe they can be a playoff team with Wilson. With Rodgers, they had Super Bowl aspirations. Rodgers will turn 40 in December, and questions will be raised about whether Monday night’s brief appearance was the last game of his NFL career. A torn Achilles tendon is a tough injury to come back from, and Rodgers may decide it’s time to retire. That decision, however, is months away. Right now, the Jets have to regroup after losing the player they built their entire offseason around.
  2. Good choice. Best Dman. Young. Signed long term (no worry about him leaving in a year).

  4. Well, the main goal was to qualify for the Olympics. Job done. 3rd place would be a bonus.
  5. At the very least, maybe failure to register as a foreign agent. He sure is behaving like one.
  6. Wow. Guess the Lions chose a good time to get better. Kings of the NFC North up for grabs.
  7. Semi finals Friday: Canada vs Serbia at 1:45 AM USA vs Germany at 5:40 AM 3rd place game and Final on SUNDAY 3rd place game at 1:30 AM FINAL at 5:40 AM Based on how things went for us in this tourney, the Olympic tourney is going to be must see TV.
  8. Happy that the qualified for the Olympics next year. If healthy, I don't see any Canadian NBA player saying no.

  12. Few already posting on this in the Whitecaps thread. Thought I'd post this here for completeness. Big loss, but a chance to bring in a more experienced voice in terms of the Men's game to build towards the 26 World Cup. https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/report-john-herdman-leaves-mens-national-team-for-toronto-fc-job/ Canada coach John Herdman leaves men's team for Toronto FC job
  13. Grew up with 2 channels and at least we had Price is Right. Must see when home sick from school or when the school busses didn't run due to extreme cold in the winter (below -35).
  14. Loved his bit in Happy Gilmour. RIP How about the whole thing.

  17. The clubs in claret and blue defeated the clubs in blue today. Villa beat up Everton and the Hammers beat Chelsea today. I guess Chelsea will need to get 1, 2, 14 more players.
  18. I guess one guy can make a difference sometimes, if that guy is Messi.
  19. Ya, there are wrinkles that make it more complex than maybe it needs to be. I think because Mueller was onside and he played the ball back, it put Sane onside. Kinda similar to when a player is offside, but a defender plays the ball or touches the ball, making that offside player onside. Just a guess on my part. No way even remotely an expert.
