* Didn't like the decision to punt instead of try a field goal (it sailed into the end-zone for a single), nor the decision to punt at the 1 instead of concede the safety (it was a mediocre punt that set the Argos up with great field position). DH :cool: I also was bemoaning the decision not to con...

I’ve long wanted Bell Media to air the Grey Cup on CTV. Many Canadians don’t subscribe to TSN and thus miss out on the opportunity to watch any CFL content. Adding weekly regular-season games and all playoff games is a huge boost in exposure to rival what CTV already gives the NFL. I'm one of those...

Sometimes I listen to a Lions game on the radio, which is a slightly delayed broadcast and then I sinc the radio broadcast with a slightly delayed PVR taped broadcast. It is a bit of a pain and there is no fast forwarding thru commercials but it is nice to watch a game with a local Lions commentary...

They have taken a bit of a gamble by cutting Sayles as there was already going to be instability in the backfield with the Lee injury and the departure of JEC. However, as rookies, Kent and Perryman might have been too good to pass up (despite he stellar play Friday, Kent did not have a great game ...

None of us in the stands seemed to know who it was until we asked.

Now that hit my funny bone with force....

Call me old fashion but the best ever Lions unis were from the Joe Kapp and Willie Fleming era. Orange paws on a black helmet. That was my "other" choice (e.g. paw, old roaring lion head etc.). :wink: DH :cool: That's my fav logo as well. I wish they would do that logo on t-shirts.... min...

Sources reporting Rourke claimed by NY Giants

Rourke always had to pass Zappe to remain on the practice squad as their #3 QB. The Pats likely did him a favour by trading Jones to the Jags to maintain the pre-season QB roster at 4. Since the Pats have many Offensive and Defensive needs, there is no evidence that Maye will be anointed as the #1 Q...

When I read about the new NFL rule on 3QB, I wondered how it would impact Nathan. Assuming the Pats use their #3 pick on a QB, they will already have 4 QB's in camp. Rourke will have to pass Zappe to #2 spot to dress for a game as I would imagine that the rookie QB will hold the Emerg QB spot.... si...

Apparently CHEK TV in Victoria offered pre-sale opportunities for 2 days last week. In the email that advised me of my seat location there was a link to buy additional seats. Supposedly it was good until the 29th but when I click on it I'm being told there are no seats available. Could it already b...

Rhymes started last year like 'a house on fire'... He was the primary receiver and then he was injured. He never rebounded as our other receivers stepped in to cover his missing production and when he returned he was no longer the "go to" guy. By the end of the season, he was somewhat irre...

Somewhat ironic that the Jags have declared Lawrence out for the game, after losing Rourke on waivers. If they hadn’t tried to shift him back to PR, they would have had two QB’s that knew the playbook in case one stumbled.

Well done Blitz!! Another classic indeed! I gotta admit that the rhyming of 'circle the sun' and 'third and one' was a laugh out loud moment for me. Lucky I was between sips of coffee.... Best of the season to all Lionbackers. I do enjoy reading and learning from the posts on this forum. Keep it up ...

It would be great if Rourke is named to the 48 man game day roster as he would have no restrictions on his usage. By using him as the 49th man (emergency QB rule), the Pats get to place/utilize another Defensive or Offensive player as backup. I suspect this is the option they will use (at least) for...

Rourke posted a nice parting message to the Jaguars on Instagram. Jacksonville fans appear to be sad to see him leave.

Not surprising that Rourke would do this. It's classy and that is the type of person he is.
