  1. New England is relentless. Chiefs need another miracle stop
  2. Karma is a beach. Problem is that Pats have oodles of time to march down the field
  3. When CDC talks, GMJB listens! Not only has he dispatched whipping boy Nilsson, but he also got ( and did not give up) a late round draft pick. This trade ticks all of the boxes for many on this board. I had a bit of a soft spot for Nills, because of his early season play. I wish him all the best. Archie had a way of being impressive for very short stretches, only to disappear until being sent back to the AHL. Good luck to him as well. I hope he goes to Europe, to finish off his playing days, instead of ( god forbid) ending up in the ECHL
  4. Just saw Cam Newton and Jamies Winston play on Sunday. Both guys looked great when they rolled out or improvised. When ever either of them tried to throw from the pocket, it was a disaster. Might as well have been Jonathon Jennings out there. Newton got picked four times by guys that weren’t even starters a few weeks ago.
  5. I was at the game inJacksonville where the Steelers won on the last play. They looked comatose for most of the game and they were helped back into the game with some game management type calls by the zebras.
  6. After every questionable move by Gruden, another little piece of me dies. What is that man doing to my Raiders? More and more I’m becoming less of a fan of that team (and I have been on board since the early 1970s), and just a fan of the NFL in general.
  7. Long ago a few members of the Broad Street bullies were arrested in Vancouver for their actions in a game against the Canucks. I believe Ed Snider, the Flyers owner harboured some resentment towards the Canucks about the incident.
  8. I love my Canucks, but this year is all about watching the young prospects develop and learning how to play without the Sedins. A new team identity will start to emerge. There will be some bloodletting this year. Guys like Gagner, Erickson, MDZ, etc They are what we thought they are. Time to cut bait and move on. You won’t see any of these guys have a career year. Scoring will continue to be a problem, even though our pp will continue to outperform other aspects of our game. Defense and goaltending will continue to be on the bottom 1/3rd of the league. It all adds up to 29th overall, because, well there is Ottawa and the Habs,. I am excited to watch Bo and Boes continue to grow and flourish and I super stoked to watch EP40 work his magic. I think that it’s a make or break season for Jake and I’m hoping that he can put up 20 goals and 20 Gordie Howe hat tricks. I am really hoping that the injury bug does not hit hard again this year. I would love to see Edler, Guddy, Tanev, Baer and Granny all play 70 plus games this year. If they do, the team has an outside shot at a wild card. Unfortunately we have seen these guys go down for long stretches over the past few years, and that has been a major problem. I don’t see things changing on the injury front, hence my prediction of 29th overall. I think that the Sharks will beat the Laffs to win lord Stanley’s chalice. Edmonton and Winnipeg will be the other CDN teams in the playoffs - sorry Lames. TBL BOS and Pitts will also perform well in the playoffs
  9. Nice comeback. Great to have Travis back at the helm
  10. Andrew Harris sure enjoys playing against the Lions. Just one of many great players that Wally let slip through his fingers. Who needs a Canadian running back anyway?
  11. It’s time for the end of Wally ball. A major shakeup is needed as the team is sucking mightily. I’ve often wondered how the Lions can ignore the importance of building a strong offensive line. Then they let guys like Mike Reilly walk because he couldn’t function at a high level behind a crappy o-line. Jennings on the other hand, it probably wouldn’t matter if he had decent protection. He just seems to be too inconsistent.
  12. Adam Schein calls them the LeBronto Raptors. Another disappointing end for an over hyped team.
  13. This is so terribly sad. It is truly devastating to the families, friends and neighbors of these unfortunate souls. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by this tragedy.
  14. CFL officiating is so Mickey Mouse. Suits is squirming in the booth about it
  15. I wonder if O'Sullivan had the class to send a congratulatory tweet to Burrows.
  16. Couldn't have said it better myself. I've been enjoying this thread for a long time Farewell slayer of dragons. Best of luck in your future.
  17. Raider fan here since the days of Kenny Stabler and Cliff Branch. Congrats to the Pats on a job well done. Props to Atlanta for a great effort. It was a terrific game to watch. The only losers here are the pathetic whiners and snivlers. My other teams are Detroit Tigers in MLB and The Orlando Magic in the NBA and of course our beloved Canucks Who the hell has the right to tell me to cheer for?
  18. So stoked about my Raiders winning a big game against the Broncos. The O line was killer tonight. Really looking forward to the rematch in Denver. Could be for 1st place in the west. Been such a long time of suffering crap teams. Reggie'a doing a nice job of putting this team together
  19. I really got a kick out of the Hungarian Goalkeeper. Looked like a fat old fan in track pants ran on the field and played instead of their regular goalie. The guy has probably had a great career, but he really does look like he's well past his best before date. I don't know what was funnier. CR7s tantrums or the tubby goalie's fake punt near the end of the game. CR7 behavior towards his teammates would definitely not go over big in hockey. Props to him for the two goals and the nice assist. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
  20. Wow, awesome game by the Croats. Hard to cheer against a team that works that freakishly hard. I can't believe the brutal penalty call. Good thing the wrong guy took the kick. Croatia fan section looked like a huge breakfast table. That funky Spanish kit looking quite a bit like my kids shirt after too much hot dog mustard and ketchup spillage. Go Croatia.
