They actually subtract value from the product. Would be humorous to hear how this guy would answer a question about how he is removing value instead of adding it.

His contribution to the meltdown was not scoring goals. He had 3 or 4 clear cut chances that he should have buried in the first 90.

I doubt they would be run out. All cities have their own talentless hack sportswriters. Part of me wonders if it’s an old guard thing, but realistically there is just a market for these types of word constructors.

I am not sure what the rule is now, but for it used to be that an early entrant would have to sit out multiple years. The rule was they needed to sit one year after the player could have entered as an automatically eligible player. In this case Zion would not be eligible to re-enter the draft until 2023.

Even in a fight, Wilson blind sides the opponent. Oleksiak had no chance to decline and no ability to prepare for the  fight.  Some how this is being seen as a clean fight instead of the predatory action that it is.

There isn’t much money generated in the Canada U scene. If anything, he is overpaid. 

He is also heavily involved in basketball Canada. He works with most of the top players in Canada through the under 18 programs that gives him a big leg up in recruiting. 

Pretty much this. Chiarelli needs to be fired, but the real underlying problem in Edmonton is that the old boys club runs the show. Until they all get kicked out, the team will continue to be a gongshow. The best player in hockey does not even seem to be able to save them.

This is not so much a reply to your comment as I just wanted to expand on the use of a leash.

Flight back to school after thanksgiving. Flight is in the early morning so I wake up at 4am. I check the flight status when I wake up, it shows flight is delayed. As the morning goes on the flight keeps getting pushed back. I called in to the airline, they confirm the flight is delayed. Within an hour of the original…

I bought that game years ago, but have yet to open it. I use to be a completionist when it came to gaming, but then I stopped having time for gaming. 

Neither the 3B or SS were in position to take the throw. They were both behind the runner going back to 3rd. One of them needed to step to the side of the base to give the catcher a clear lane to throw to. Considering that, the catcher made the right call to just hold on to the ball.

He’s not a good coach. To borrow a soccer term, he’s a very good man manager. However, his in game adjustments are poor and he continues to have no clue how to run an offensive system that does not revolve around iso ball. On the other hand, he’s poor at everything and the players are calling the shots.

Playoff defence against the Raptors is always “anybody but Demar”. They do this because they know the Raptors are ineffective at running set plays to get players good looks, Lowry is a poor distributor and the heart of the Raptors offence continues to be iso ball. The benching of Demar was a desperate move, which only…

The Raptors fan reactions are a reflection of their team. The players are the Raptors moan and complain a lot. It seems to be pretty easy to get under their skin. This is one of the reasons why they play so poorly in the playoffs.

There is no group of death because they changed how they do the draw. It has nothing to do with the US not being in the competition.

I would do a career mode challenge kind of along the lines of what this guy does. You pick a low level team, all your players come through the youth academy and you cannot play with real players. I tend to stick to the first 2 points as the third point is made for people who are really good at the game.

Where did your car get towed to? How much did it cost? In Toronto the laws are if a vehicle is towed to clear room for road work then it is moved to a close by spot. I am also pretty sure that you would not be on the hook for the fees of the tow

That depends on the strength of the Union. There are some unions where it is virtually impossible to fire someone.

The CFL could have stopped this mess on their own terms, rather than allowing the news to go public and making a move only in the face of criticism, at least according to Mitchell’s interview.
