I remember an article a long while ago about how a Canadian team hadn't won Lord Stanely's Cup in a long time and it was odd. And all the comments were "yeah but all the players are Canadians."

Yeah, but Canadian teams have terrible management.

Well, had, in the case of the Maple Leafs. But that's because their GM and coach are both former Red Wings members (Babcock/Shanahan).

As if it wasn't already

The KHL pipeline was a decent threat to that, though. Sure, the league's quality has been overblown, but most KHLers are professional level. Russia was gonna put a team together led by guys like Datsyuk and Kovalchuk, both stars in their own rights.

Speaking of bans, Russia has been shitcanned from the 2018 Winter Olympics. Hockey gold for Canada confirmed now.

Im pretty sure that someone is gonna die in this Bengals-Steelers game.

I'm legit horrified by that Shazier injury because it's hard to convince me that I didn't watch a guy get paralyzed from the waist down...

That kind of injury scares the hell out of me. It was such a routine play, and was likely a cause of a simple mistake in how he was leading the tackle.

I was gonna make a joke about him being completely turned off by Chicago winters, but then I looked up how often it snows in Sapporo and... geez, apparently it snows 68" on average in January alone. That might make Wentz flinch, even.

Anyways, the Rangers make even less sense than the Cubs.

It's a bit of a hybrid between sidearm and a traditional motion making it look goofy, but it isn't overly slow so it's not all that weird.

Ohtani to the Angels would be pretty awesome.

He mentioned a small market mattering too, which means Seattle, San Francisco or San Diego.

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

Well, the 49ers and Broncos might not be looking at the same guy anyways, so it might be irrelevant.

On another note, OHTANI ISN'T GOING TO THE YANKEES!

That was a 61 yard punt return. I just read that the 49ers had only allowed 61 punt return yards total all year before this.

Especially crazy when you consider how often they punt

It was the longest 61 yards I've ever seen too

Cohen is apparently an electric returner who can do everything though, so he may have had a say in it

Yeah, he'd have to be the odd man out. And with Verdugo probably getting a spot next year, it's not like they can move him to left field either.
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

I can't even see how the Dodgers would fit him in without trading away an outfielder of their own.

I like him but he sucks. Bust prospect who at one point looked like he could rake in the big leagues though so seems like a good guy to break out in Toronto. Not sure why he Cards did this just because it's a lame way to get rid of some infield depth

Yeah he stunk it up last year, but Toronto's middle infield is basically two thin sheets of glass. He won't have to be relied upon early. Worth a gamble.

I know we try not to talk about politics in this topic but I'm fucking ENRAGED that they passed this tax bill. This is the worst thing to happen since Trump got elected. America is fucked.

I don't know much about hockey, do the Avs have a legit chance at staying in the mix for a playoff spot this year, or is it all going to come crashing down soon? Maybe I should be asking that about Vegas, they're still leading the division? WTF

They weren't as bad as last year's record. They're still mediocre, but they'll be somewhere in the wildcard race.

Also, their haul for Duchene was awesome.

By the way, hypothetical situation: three way trade.

Buffalo gets Eli
Baltimore gets Tyrod
Giants get Flacco

This would be so dumb but I would bet Buffalo would do it. The Giants might.

It's pretty shitty that they'd bench him for fucking Geno Smith. He wasn't going to catch Favre's record (he'd have to play over five more seasons) but they might as well have let him finish out the season and let him go to a new team next year where he could extend the streak.

Some reports are saying they offered to let him start games, but not complete them. Eli didn't like this idea.

STLCards1991 posted...

Come on. You don't need to deny him all credit like that. You know he played well in those games.

I'm not saying he played badly, but he kind of managed the game for the first three quarters. He has spurts of brilliance, mind you, and can take advantage of mistakes. But let's be honest, without that defense hounding Brady like they did, does Eli keep up?
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

His pass rush, and someone not getting out of the way of a punt in overtime won them two championships.
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

Oh I know Geno is shit, but you have a chance to get a top 3 pick in a strong QB draft.
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

It's only crazy if you assume Eli is a great QB. There's no reason to keep trotting him out there anymore.
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

I think that would be in the case of a settlement, but even then it's unlikely once I actually think about it.
---

http://i.imgur.com/yPyOj0i.jpg

Oh, I completely agree. And let's be honest, even if the NFL forces someone to sign him for optics, they ain't gonna force Elway to do it.

but he's still not that good

Regardless of whether or not that's true, if A.J. McCarron interests him the most compared to Kaepernick as a realistic option, what does that say? A.J. McCarron has barely started, he has an okay arm, and he's behind a good line with one of the best receivers in the league when he does start.

I'm not trying to talk shit or rub it in, but you have to think that if they Broncos front office knew how the QB situation was going to play out, they would have done everything they could have to keep Sloter from leaving

John Elway is secretly shit at being a GM. He makes Joe Sakic look like a good executive.
