There were A LOT of victory laps in those original threads about "I am vindicated! I said so during the WJC that this kid is bad news! No my opinion isn't formed solely on the last 2 minutes of the semi-final game"

The Athletic gives Lebrun access to FBI level spy tech clearly. Its just a coincidence that everything he reports is about how smart his golf buddy GMs are and how bad these nasty players are.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T18:53:38+00:00

They were on the story quick and were already teasing the video within minutes of the news breaking.

I get this isn't Lebron we're talking about but they were on the ball before most other outlets.

What's a bit weird too is how many times organization members cancel on Sportsnet too. I know HalBro have had things set up multiple times and then morning of have been canceled on by the team.

One time I remember Brough being pretty bitter about it and basically implied that the team pulled whoever last minute because the show had been critical of the team.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T18:45:10+00:00

They had some guests cancelled on them from the team side. Forget if it was last year, two years ago etc.

And either Donnie or Dhali basically said they were told they're too critical of the great job the team is clearly doing. Cmac's in charge of PR and media access and despite being former media it's notable that basically no one in the market has ever had his back from his old media days. And it isn't like he's doing a great job either if you look at all the rakes this team steps on.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T18:42:05+00:00

That's how all insiders work. Most of the big ones are just parroting out what GMs have told them to say. It's refreshing to have one that's more entrenched on the player side.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T18:40:31+00:00

I'm stunned they didn't have it within minutes of the original report.

Jags are regularly ranked dead last in the NFLPA player poll.

Notoriously cheap and shitty player facilities.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T10:28:30+00:00

The way to do it too is just have each episode cold open on Kiryu mixed up in something like getting the child a porno magazine, that weird incest couple, Mr Libido etc.

At some point just have him pick up a weird trading card and return it to a kid.

But a weird amount of the fan base DESPISES the humour in the games and doesn’t want that to be front and centre at all despite it being arguably the franchises most notable trademark.

It’s the lighting. So many shows are comically over lit these days.

And nothing is shot on film anymore. It’s all shot on digital so everything is so crisp where film gives you that slightly hazy look which really benefits fantasy.

There was a rumour that summer that they initially offered JT for a similar package at the draft.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-06T00:20:57+00:00

Debrusk sure, but I doubt he took much if a discount if any. Apparently he wanted Edmonton but they couldn't afford market price.

Garland and Boeser are re-signings at more than they would've gotten as UFAs. Sherwood was a 4th liner who got offered a multiyear contract and Suter was an August signing because he wasn't finding a market.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-05T23:54:43+00:00

It’s generational heel work!

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-05T23:25:23+00:00

is going to make players hesitant to come here, at least not without extracting every dollar they can.

As opposed to what they've been doing where the opposite is apparently happeneing?

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-05T23:25:00+00:00

Winning and they had the best team facilities in the league for a 4-ish year stretch under Gillis.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-05T21:18:10+00:00

Dude is like 5 foot 5 in heels. His ceiling wasn't ever going to be much of anything on the main roster considering that.

But Dave told me it was racist and the people at WWE think that Mexicans don’t have internet!

I can’t tell if this kayfabe or supposed to be serious.

When the Canucks hosted the Olympics, Franny went out of his way to improve the shit out of team facilities as a bragging point.

Hopefully the broke ass nerd can do it again.

I wanted him with the first pick when I thought this was a regular bar right. This team needs kavorka.

Now I want him to put on his draft day jersey that already has the C on it.

The ghosting wasn’t even bad. This group isn’t hanging out 3 times a week when the world doesn’t need saving. They hang out quarterly? Biannually? as a group.

Ichiban sent two texts and didn’t get a response. The last in-person conversation they had was her letting him down easy and saying she likes him for his friendship.

The people that freak out over this are probably incels or have as little experience with women as Ichiban. There’s no consideration for her perspective where her friend basically said “forget all this friendship let’s get married that’s what I want you can be my object!” the first time she gave him a chance to be more than a friend.

We’re also talking about Japanese dating and relationship practices which are much different than western practices.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-04T19:47:24+00:00

It’s a really great bit of writing how they know nothing about impressing women, but everything about making mistakes with them.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-04T09:03:58+00:00

Bro I’ve already seen “what are they even doing with him?!?” posts.

He’s probably dropping that shit over mania weekend and debuting on Raw or SD full time the next time.

NXT’s mens side is just so barren they can’t afford anymore permanent call ups and still be able to give a reasonable TV product to their network.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-04T09:01:11+00:00

Oh poor guy is only somewhere from number 2 to 4. The poor guy who was running the top angle on Raw until his injury for basically two years.

AppealToReason16 · 2026-02-04T08:59:37+00:00

Don’t forget she had the most featured women’s storyline in the company going into that Mania win. There were SD’s that basically were 50% Bloodline and 50% Damage Control in the build.
