I'm sorry to hear that.
Jets fan is tough sledding.
Like here.
Ownership bites.
The Jets fan thing was hypothetical. But there are plenty of similarities with the Canucks….
I am a Packers fan, which usually means a team in the playoff mix, but ever since they blew the NFC Championship to Seattle the year after their last Super Bowl (IIRC), there’s always been a piece or two missing from being a favorite. This year, it’s three pieces: discipline (penalties), discipline (running back takes on field aggression home…:), and pass rush due to injury. But with Jacob’s back and Parsons soon to return, it will be another season between 9 and 11 wins and an early playoff exit if they make it….

Been a nice QB progression as a Pack fan.
Not sure what level Love will attain in the end but in a league where QB's can be so hit and miss GB has done well.

Per our discussion of draft talent tiers, and drop offs between them, I count only 27 players so far rated as worthy of 1st round consideration.

Yeah, the pundits have recently readjusted their assessment of next June's bounty from good to below average. But they're often wrong.

I dunno man.
NYJ has icons like Broadway Joe and Dirty Sanchez.
NYJ had iconic moments like "I Guarantee It" and the Butt Fumble.
We are regularly placed on the worst professional sport franchises in history list... ALL sports. In the entire world.
Incomparable.

Need to walk away with a D man and Centre from the 2027 draft.
DuPont is the obvious choice.
Cripps will be a solid second choice when we lose the lotto.
And one of the plethora of centres available please!

I cancelled all my sports channels, including sportsnet and TSN. I was just going to check in on the game between the Flames and Oilers, only to find that it's not on any of the sportsnet channels I have (which is just about all of them). Apparently it was on another sportsnet channel that was not included in my sports package. They wanted another $23 per month for just the one channel. Anyway, that was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. I haven't really watched a full game for a long time, I just check in sometimes to see the scores. Anyway, my interest in hockey has been waning for some time now and I have had it with the greedy assholes at Rogers and fucking team owners and greedy players. Fuck the whole thing. I'm to old for this bullshit. There - that's my rant.

Yeah I have no dedicated sports channels either.
I can watch NFL games via the Prime/Crave streaming platform and the odd hockey game on Prime if I so chose (but have not to date)....

Good for you Expat! Fuck those greedy bastards!
I don't think we've had any Canucks games on Prime yet. I believe the first one is on November 25th against the Wings.

Some of them are going to be on Sportsnet+ as well. I still haven't figured out if I can watch those on Shaw cable or not.
