    Pretty terrible.

    I don't like our Prime Minister, but don't really trust or like the other guy.  I voted NDP.  Our sitting MP (Liberal) lost big time ... mostly because she skrewed over all the fishers in our area.

    What a total waste of time and money.  This was the most expensive election ever in Canada ($650 million +) and we are pretty much exactly where we left off.  There is virtually no change in the seat allocation at all.

    Our last election cost something around 14 billion....

  2. I can understand the arguement for allowing him to get the surgery he wants. It sits in the same ballpark as some of the horror stories of insurance companies letting people suffer and or die instead of approving procedures.

    It just rings hollow to my ears that John boy is the victim here.

    Also I am reminded of when the sabres would not approve patty to return to hockey. How many games did he last with the rangers after insisting he was fine?

    I asked in the other fantasy hockey thread about taking over the existing(dormant) league, but got no response, so I thought we could just start from scratch.  Looking for owners who will at the very least set an active lineup each week, and try and improve their team on a regular basis.  10 or 12 teams.

    I will join as long as I have an option to setup an auto draft. Not sure if you are using Yahoo or not, that is the only one I have used previously so not sure if the system they have for auto drafting is the normal.

    He looks fine. Diggs is the only one of our receivers who fights for the ball. All the others wait for it to come to them. It almost bit us a couple of times. That’s on the receivers, not Josh.

    Moss with some tough runs today.

    He looks average to me. I think it is a combination of nerves (showing last year was no fluke) and little chemistry with the receivers (besides Diggs).

    Why are you requiring that he be stripped of his captaincy? If he regains his health (and that is an open question) he will continue to be our best and most dominant player. The time not to have bestowed the captaincy on him is when he first entered the league. That was an organizational mistake, and not his. The more favorable time to bestow the captaincy on him is when he is the most dominant and productive player on this team. And assuming that he fully regains his health that is the caliber of player he is. 

    What I find odd is the cavalier way many fans are demanding that one of the best players in the league be dispatched without much regard for the return. A segment of the fanbase (not all) act as if this is a necessity for this woebegone franchise to regain its honor after perceiving that their star play disrespected the organization. What the hanging crowd isn't aware of is that this befuddled organization is not held in high regard by the league because of the shoddy  manner this franchise has been operated. 

    As I said in prior posts I'm open to moving him if the return merits it. However, I would be more than happy to retain him if it is in the best interest of the franchise. I'm simply not foreclosing the retention options as many are. 

    Because his behavior is not what a captain should be doing. I want more qualities besides talented and point producing in a captain

    Schoenfeld had his C removed after 76-77 seasons in favor of Danny Gare.  This was done by Punch who apparently was not happy to see Schoeny fighting less, even though his level of play and hitting were still at a high level. 
     

    Both players were traded to Detroit during 81-82 season by Scotty Bowman.   
     

     

    Another example would be joe Thornton. But I think they are the exceptions.

    Allan not having a great passing game, but they are finding a way to likely win this one.  Good running game from Singletary.  Good teams know how to win when a certain aspect of the game is not working well on a given Sunday.  So far, so good in this one.

    MUST WIN!!

    GO BILLS!!

    I am curious to see some stats on defense formations Allen has faced so far. It feels like the steelers and dolphins have both dared the bills to beat them with the run

    Doctors putting doubt into the safety of the vaccine with kids (which has been my only point all along) and ya resort to personal attacks?  Gee wiz

    again. That is not what it said. You are either trolling or intentionally attempting to spread misinformation. Any "personal attack" I have done was in line with the tone you expressed. You want a nicer reply? Modify your tone and I will respond in kind.
