Re: A part of Cam Wake still bleeds orange....

I've always liked Cam Wake because of how humble he is. This isn't the first article where he's displayed genuine appreciation for Canada and the CFL. Definitely a class act all around. Generally I'm indifferent about players after they leave the CFL, but Cam Wake is one of the players I'm really gl...

Re: Say Goodbye to Chapball?

I know he wasn't greatly popular due to his predictable and ineffective play calling, but the last 3 months of this season, the Lions had easily the most complex/creative offensive schemes. He did do a good job of that for sure. I think it would be nice if he stayed and we can keep the continuity si...

Re: Did the CFL go to far to boost Argos?

The conspiracy theories are ridiculous and have no base. This is 100% Tillman and nothing more. The notion that ANY team is going to help out the argos is laughable. So Tillman is going to purposely make his team worse to help out a team that doesn't pay his salary and risk losing his job? The Eskim...

Re: Hefney's a moron

What a clown.
No respect for swaggerville and I'm glad we shut them up.
I've never seen a more obnoxious, cocky group than that secondary. Only Jovon Johnson backed it up with his play, and ironically he's the least cocky of the all.

SWAG OUT!

Re: Will the Lions' atttendance numbers improve in 2012?

If they can average 33-35K ala circa 2005-2006, that would be great.
Even with 30k, BC place looks really good on television.

Re: As good as 2006?

2006 was a year they had to win. It was expected and a given. After pissing away two opportunities in 2004 and 2005, they had to win. 2011 is a season that will likely never be topped again. Absolutely unbelievable. To go from 0-5 and 1-6, have a 8 game winning streak, win 12 of 13 and be considered...

Re: Congrats

Thank You.
I've always liked Buck ever since his days in BC. Buck is what I love and respect about football players. You can't question his heart, he gives 100% every single snap.

Re: Emotional Khalif Mitchell video, the Lions are his famil

I remember when he took a dumb penalty against the bummers last year in Winnipeg, I was so pissed at him. That was his first game with the Lions I believe. How times have changed. This guys was the single most dominant player in the CFL. Unstoppable and I think he may have played himself off the BC ...

Re: 2011 Grey Cup MVP - Travis Lulay; MVC - Andrew Harris

Fitting because those two are among the brightest young stars in the CFL. Both are going to be very good for hopefully a very long time.

Re: Lions 34 - Bombers 23 Grey Cup Stats and Comments

So proud of this team. As a passionate sports fan, can you ask any more than this? Your team never once quit, your star QB plays well beyond his years even though he's injured and this team didn't have a single passenger on just for the ride. They all bought in. We should be very, very proud of what...

I wasn't nervous last week and I'm not nervous this week. I certainly hope the team isn't in the same frame of mind as myself sinceI don't foresee this game being too difficult on my heart/emotions. Bring it on... This team has 1 more sleep before their date with destiny and a shot to be forever imm...

Re: Keys to the Game

If BC plays like they've played in the last 3 games, this won't even be a contest. The Lions simply need to play like they have in last 3 months. When you have 3 or 4 animals in Winnipeg's backfield on every snap, Buck is going to have to take off. If I'm Benevides that's exactly what I want; Elimim...

Re: Guess the final Grey Cup score thread

I'm sorry but this game won't be as close as people are predicting. Just because it's a championship game doesn't mean we need to throw out hyperboles. BC is a far better team. If they play like they've played the last 3 games, they will win this going away...

Anyways:

BC - 33
Winnipeg - 17

Re: where are the Lions staying this week - home or hotel?

Yes, they will be at a hotel. They have the choice as to when they check in, but I believe by Thursday everyone must be checked in. Does anyone know if the league has any rules or guidelines pertaining to this? Since the league handles all these logistics in any case and the bookings are already do...
