3 years for pre-meditated murder? Yeah, so not guilty by reason of insanity.A judge determined she was insane and committed her to a mental hospital. She was released three years later, after doctors determined she had regained her sanity.
Excellent obit. Y'know, I always thought Flem would have been a perfect Canada World Junior team coach. That honor, of course, goes strictly to CHL guys. But Fleming would have been a welcome exception.
I saw the Divinyls at a small club in Denver in the mid-80's. This was before their big hit, but they were getting some indie radio play. One of the funnier concert moments I've seen - some guys in the front row were going nuts and bothering her through the set. So, when they came back out for the encore, Chrissy Amphlett was carrying a huge pitcher of water, and immediately dumped on the heads of those guys, right before the band kicked in.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall one episode with both of them, and it was hilarious.ZMan wrote:I thought some of the best episodes were the ones featuring Sidney Freedman. Well, him and/or Colonel Flagg.
They were in a couple of episodes together. One was called "Deal Me Out", in which Ed Winter played an intelligence officer, but his name wasn't Col. Flagg. Then there was a second episode about the bomber pilot who claimed to be Jesus Christ, and in that episode, Col. Flagg and Sidney are in at least two scenes together.Steve of phpBB wrote:Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to recall one episode with both of them, and it was hilarious.ZMan wrote:I thought some of the best episodes were the ones featuring Sidney Freedman.

Sad. Interesting that he only appeared in about a dozen episodes. Always seemed like it was more than that. I also had no idea he was that old.
About Damned time. But is the Tebow era in the NFL over? Probably, right? So that means the Jets are stuck with the cap hit? WTF were they thinking signing him? I still say this was all on Woody Johnson, since the coaches never even put plays in place for him. Whatever,at least he is gone. I was just in Modell's (sporting goods store) the other day laughing at the enormous stock of Tebow Shirseys on clearance, too. I'm tempted to buy one now.AB_skin_test wrote:The Tim Tebow Era in NY.
I can't see why any sane team would sign him as a QB, and I think Jacksonville has already said they're not interested.The Sybian wrote:About Damned time. But is the Tebow era in the NFL over?

There's been American quarterbacks with far less credentials than Tebow that have come to play in the CFL. Sean Salisbury comes to mind (and he won a Grey Cup for your team).travzilla wrote:Lots of chatter up here about whether he would succeed in the CFL or not. On one had mobile running quarterbacks can dominate this league, but on the other hand, with the wider field and predominant passing game, inaccurate throwers flame out quickly. (personally I think he could throw 8 screens a game, run 22 times and win a lot of games, but damn watching him try to throw on those giant open prairie fields would be hilarious).
Didn't know that. But that's another team with a dinosaur of a quarterback, Anthony Calvillo, who is at least 40-years old.brian wrote:His CFL rights are already controlled by the Alouettes.
Oh, I have no idea about that. Was kinda hoping you or travzilla or another Canadian might know actually. I was just reporting what I saw in a couple of stories about his future options.Scottie wrote:By the way, how does a CFL team end up with the negotiating rights (first held by Hamilton, now Montreal, in the case of Tebow) for an NFL player? He was never drafted, not even in a last-round last-pick "we'll take Vladislav Tretiak, just in case" sort of way.
I'll guarantee this now: Tebow will not play a down in the Canadian Football League. The negotiation list serves in place of a draft for American college football players, and it's generally a poorly-handled publicity stunt. Putting Tebow on their list is about as likely to bring him to Montreal as the Brevard Blue Ducks drafting LeBron James was to send the King to the USBL.
Besides, the Alouettes already have a Florida quarterback whose talents have not translated to the pros. And Chris Leak is their third-stringer. Why would Tebow cross the border to repeat his freshman year?
I think the draft applies only to "import" players, whatever those are.Scottie wrote:That's incorrect. For example, have a look at the 2012 CFL draft:

. . . there's certainly no shortage of US College players. And if it is supposedly "a poorly-handled publicity stunt" it's kind of odd that I've never heard of it, year after year. Not much of a publicity stunt. And it hardly serves in place of a "US" draft. In fact, none of that seems correct at all.
My guess is this: The CFL permits teams to have about half their players non-Canadian ("imports") in order to keep the league "Canadian", as it were. Those imports are inevitably Americans. Post-draft, those teams have max'd out on player "ownership" limits so the negotiation rights are a way of extending player ownership without having to actually enter into a contract with them. But, damn, that still makes for potentially a staggering number of players whose negotiation rights have to be determined. Maybe there's a limit on the amount of players a team can have with that status. That would make sense.
http://cfldb.ca/faq/rosters/#what-is-a-cfl-neg-list" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;2.What is a CFL team's neg list or negotiation list? How does the neg list work in the CFL? Where can I get a CFL team's negotiation list?
In the CFL each team has a negotiation list, or neg list, consisting of 35 players they have exclusive rights to negotiate a contract with. The regulations surrounding negotiation lists are defined in Section 3 of the CFL By-laws. As the CFL conducts its College Draft for non-import (primarily Canadians) players only, the negotiation lists serve as a way of acquiring player rights for import players (though non-drafted non-imports can be placed on neg lists as well). Players who qualify as CFL veterans (have appeared on a game roster, reserve list or injury list for seven games) are not allowed to be placed on a neg list. Veteran players are free agents and able to negotiate with any team when their contract has expired or they have been released and cleared waivers.
Teams place players on their neg lists on a first come, first serve basis. It is estimated 75% of players do not know they are on a CFL team's neg list. The lists change frequently and additions/deletions are published by the league to the teams daily. Teams must follow rules to negotiate in good faith. Players can notify the league of the negotiation window and if a contract offer is not received within 10 days, the player is removed from the team's neg list. If a fair contract offer is received, but rejected, the player is removed from the list one year from the offer date.
Just like a draft limits competition for new players, the neg list does the same. However, rather than hold an import draft annually the negotiation list system provides much greater flexibility in adding and removing players as information changes through the year. The system seems to be well liked by CFL general managers and there does not seem to be any desire to change it or make it more open.
The CFL's negotiation lists are secret, shared amongst teams and the league office only and are not public. From time to time media reports will name additions and deletions to negotiations lists, but complete lists are held private among the CFL head office and member clubs.
