Re: Ritch Dowrey - 2 Years Later

Reading on Facebook that our friend Ritch, has passed away.

Sad day as 3rd Down was one of a kind. Rest in peace.

Re: Argos 38 - Lions 12 Post Game Stats and Comments

Tuesday night football???

Meh, game sucked. Hard to get excited on a Tuesday

I'm guessing after this stellar performance along with Winnipeg's usual start, we may be seeing less than 25K for Mondays game.

Re: Bombers No Help

Same result.....We punted from the 30 rather than kicking a FG. Both teams lost.

Re: Bombers No Help

A recall a few years back, a certain HOF coach, now GM decided to punt rather than kick a field goal.......hmmm, recall pretty much the same result.

Stegall put it best "Playing not to lose, rather than playing to win"

Re: Ticket Prices / Lions' Marketing

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but.......... PPV for the Lions will never happen. Currently the CFL sells its broadcast rights as a whole to TSN. Any rebroadcasts (ESPN or others) are paid back to the host broadcaster. The reason why the Lions won't go down the same road as the Canucks have with respect...

Re: Geroy Simon Stamps....

No book of 10 for the Als....strange. Geroy is the only active player on all the team books. On a personal note, surprised the Bombers chose Kenny Ploen and not Milt Stegall as their pic. Cool idea, nice to see the league getting involved in other ways of advertising, just too bad it's snail mail re...

Re: Bombers Do Nothing Yet in Off Season

It is funny how the attack on Buck suggests he didn't do the job for the Bombers. He sold tickets and got them to a GC which seems to suggest he was doing something right. I think their defence, aka, Swaggerville, had a little something more to do with their record and with the amount of ducats sold.

Re: Who Will Be the New OC?

I've said it before, but I would like to see Doug Nussmeier join the Lions in some capacity. I realize he has a pretty good deal as the OC at UW, but does he aspire to be anything other than an OC? Fastest way to be a HC is a couple of successful seasons as a co-ordinator....at least in the CFL. I w...

Re: Depth Chart vs the Eskimos - 20111120 WDF

Armstead and Nowacki at the wideouts certainly can't put any fear into our DB's. The key to the Eskimoes is Stamps and their Oline......which in my opinion is very weak. Stop Stamps and pressure Ray and we should walk all over this team. I like the fact we have 6 D linemen dressed. Constant pressure...

Re: Lions 29 - Riders 18 Post Game Stats and Comments

Amp Reddick is a stud....should have been starting all season. Oh well, a win is a win.

Leos are really looking like the team to beat.

LOL, season high 2 tackles for Phillips

Re: Lions vs. Riders Game Day Thread

Every year the Riders miss the playoffs, an angel gets their wings.

Well done Lions, nothing warms my heart more than seeing the half toothed mob (apologies to SM) suffer through another off season of excuses
