  1. Politics. Maybe money. If you're rich enough you don't have to be smart enough to play the game, and if you're connected you don't have to have money to play the game. This whole scenario has a WWE feel to it. All dragged out for ratings and publicity. I don't even care who's right or wrong. It's just amusing that it's taken this long to almost come to a definitive conclusion that still isn't definitive by any stretch. I honestly wonder how much time players outside of the Patriots, Colts, and Bills have spent reading up on this.
  2. But Saturday is the NHL loser draft! Can't compete with that, even if it does take 3 minutes. This weekend is going to be great.
  3. Yeah but, Atlanta. Come on. I mean, they suck. I know, I know, Syndergaard is less proven than Price, I was not a fan of Price in the postseason though is all. If were both Jays starters though, well... I'll stop now. Hindsight doesn't help much. Although, neither does the current bullpen.
  4. Call it beating a dead horse if you must, but losing Syndergaard still chafes my arse. Much more so than Storen.
  5. For my buddy, the Hawks fan, who probably doesn't exist since I'm on the internet.

      The post to post is pretty good :lol:

       

       

  6. I didn't hear about Denver calling already, although I shouldn't be surprised. Just this morning I heard the reports that Philly expected him to report and challenge for/win the starting QB position. Any idea what "price too high" might mean? I'm still trying to get a grip on player value in the NFL, my guess, if the 49'ers wanted a 2nd for Kapp then a 2nd and 4th or something? He can't be worth a 1st since he's been buried on the Rams and in Philly his whole career, can he? I get your references, I do. There's the law that is enforced by the courts, and that's completely separate from any corporate rules the CBA or whatever outlines. And my comments were pretty ambiguous in that they could be interpreted to include players who either got off or plead guilty. In the case of the latter, the most recent big case that instantly came to mind was Ray Rice. From my point of view the NFL set a very odd precedent giving him 2 games and Brady 4 for the 2 different situations. Again, I agree with you, I just felt that maybe the NFL would want to at least try and do a better job of leading by example in some way given how many people look up to sports athletes these days. Perhaps it's not their job to do so after all.
  7. Not a Pats fan, but still think it's pretty ridiculous that he gets 4, and people who have murdered, beaten spouses, et cetera have received less punishment from a supposedly professional league. It's laughable, and it's pathetic. I laugh at all the Brady jokes, but I also laugh at this one, because it's just as accurate:

  10. So how hard does Denver push for Bradford? I'd rather have him around than Kaep, and although that might not be saying much maybe Sam would do well there.

      coaches and gm's have to be so careful what they say because someone will take it out of context and rumours and speculation starts...one careless word can take on a life of it's own...i don't blame them for being vague and guarded....

  12. I'd agree with Campbell. Rather have Hammer than Mitchell at this point though. My reason for seeing Edler on his way out is just that by the time we're ready to make any serious (not fantasy) push for the Cup Edler will likely be beyond whatever prime he is enjoying at the moment. Get him to waive, get something for the future while we can. Hammer is in his twighlight, but definitely demonstrated he can still play when he came back from injury. Didn't mean to derail this Demko thread, but I appreciate your points of view. Abstract: More time for youth. Conclusion: I agree.
  13. You and canucktravella, if that causes you to re-think your position. I agree with letting our guys take the next step, but when, as you put it, the inevitable Edler injury happens we're left with Tanev as our most experienced defenceman. If a second goes down we're more or less in the same place as we were this past season. Hooped. Having a guy like Hamhuis around would ease some of the pressure of Tryamkin and Stecher, and he'll likely be able to teach them something useful in the meantime. That freak injury did something positive for his game, albeit in a brutally roundabout way, and I wouldn't mind him coming back another year, although I doubt he'd sign for less than 2. Plus, if Miller gets moved (don't think he will but who knows) I'd like to see some capable guys defending the net so Marky or whoever isn't getting shellacked on a nightly basis. Double plus, I'd rather Hammer stay than Edler.
  14. Why Sony needs the PlayStation 4 ‘Neo’ The repeatedly rumored upgraded PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems are a new spin on an old trick. PS4 Neo’s CPU is 1.3 times more powerful than the base PS4. Neo’s GPU is 2.3 times more powerful than base. Memory has 24 percent more bandwidth and 512MB more usable RAM. Despite those improved specs, Sony is putting some strong restrictions into place to ensure that developers do not leave behind people who already purchased the console and do not wish to upgrade. Most notably, the Giant Bomb report claims Sony will not permit studios to build Neo-only games, and — starting in October — every game that ships for PS4 must include support for both Neo and the base model. ---------------------- Might not be news to people here, was news to me though.. As someone who is not as heavy of a gamer as I used to be I suppose I can rest easy that my system didn't just become outdated. I've only had my PS4 since Christmas and Witcher 3 is the game I play. Bloody good game too. That, and Dark Souls 2. Hate that I play that game offline. So much harder without cheating. http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/20/why-sony-needs-the-playstation-4-neo-even-if-you-hate-it/

      Been a long time since I watched those. My brain doesn't have the patience anymore. 

       

      Half Baked was the go to. To be honest though I'd rather watch Fear and Loathing.
