McDonald's light fading?

[Patler]

Regular roster or PS? I thought they initially signed him to PS.

PS, why?

There are occasionally contract reasons why players are let go from regular rosters over the weekend or before Week 1 (though I am not sure if they apply to McDonald). But it seems odd to dropped and re-added him to the practice squad in a day. Unless they signed someone of interest and then subsequently lost someone the same day.

Interesting that NE had Kerry Taylor on their PS. Now Nick McDonald. They're taking a long look at our discards.

The geniuses appreciate one another's work.

If someone offered McDonald a roster spot, and NE offered to up his PS salary to stay, they might have had to terminate his first contract and sign him to a new one.

Not in this neck of the woods.

You can get poutine around here, but it's mostly a Quebec thing. However, I was out on the east coast and had a McLobster! That was weird.

Just curious, what neck of the woods are you in? I have had poutine all over Ontario. Most of the hockey rink concession stands even seemed to sell it. There was a hamburger chain in Ontario that had great poutine, but I can't recall the name of the chain.

Could be. I was toying with the idea of adding Bedard to my Twitter feed to get some other NFL news beside the local folks I follow, but when I saw the his tweet about McDonald getting some real coaching from NE, it reminded me how reactionary he was as a pundit/columnist for the JS. I decided to find someone else.

South-Western - north of Kitchener-Waterloo.

There is poutine around here, it's just not as popular as it is in Quebec. Over there, it's almost a cultural phenomena, probably more common to order poutine than a plain order of fries. Here, it's available, but just not that popular.

Kitchner - I've been there. Waterloo and Guelph, too.

As for poutine - I think it comes from the French, doesn't it? I spent a lot of time in Toronto and North, through North Bay, Sudbury and west to S.S.M. Poutine seemed pretty common, but they have a lot of French Canadians in some of those areas.

Also spent a lot of time in and around Ottawa, and Montreal years ago. Might have been where I was first introduced to poutine, I don't remember.
