DD returns for another year, gets his head smashed, can't walk for the rest of his life, Pierce leaves because he doesn't want to be backup to DD, Jackson leaves to tryout with another team and Garguilo is our starter. That satement is dead on , this is what is going to happen if they keep him, see...

Would-a, should-a, could-a.... whatever. It's just sour grapes on your part, and that's what's bothering people. Hell, EVERYONE wants a winner. Only 1 team wins it all. Lions did it last year, this year they didn't get it done. In your mind, that would appear to mean they suck as much as Hamilton di...

Yeah, they are the best of the worst in a weak division at the moment. They were lucky that Frerotte bobbled that snap. They are a mediocre team at the moment. Alexander's not the same player and they just don't seem to have any killer instinct. IMO, they took a turn for the worse when they failed t...

If Dave re-signs with the Lions, IMHO it would be for about $150,000. For the Lions, IMHO, it is time to go with the young guns: Buck, Jarious and Gino. No big shadow looming over their shoulders, waiting to take their place if they falter. I can see either of those things happening. Wally is all a...

Wally has apparently left options open for DD to sign for substantially less or return in a coaching position ( latest news update from the Team talking w/Kristen Reid at the presser ). JJ had also apparently expressed no interest in signing if the QB scenario remained status quo. That's understanda...

Yeah, whoever is Defensive Coordinator next year needs to bring more heat!! Look at the Bombers D yesterday vs KJ and the Riders. They put pressure on him and made him force plays that weren't there. In the WF, it looked like the Lions were content to sit back and try and "contain" him, in...

Well, I chose '94 GC, but the '05 GC here in Vancouver was also high on the list. Yeah, I know the Lions weren't in it, but it was a great second half and OT to finish the game. The dome was rocking and it was great to see it live and in person. Also, one of the big childhood memories is Clements to...

You know, I was also thinking about the early start, and how this team didn't do very well with them this year..... it's all just navel gazing anyhow.

Man, I can't wait for '08 !!

I wonder if this means that they've come to terms or agreed in principle with JJ? It seems unlikely that they'd part with Dave unless they had a contingency plan in place. DH 8) Wouldn't be surprised at all if that's what happens in the next week or two. I also believe today is the start of the 200...

That week off didn't hurt last year when they blew out the Riders. This year, it was a different story. It's hard to say if they would've been better off finishing second and playing the week prior, but that would also mean they would have had to go to Regina to finish the job. I like the odds of ge...

dont know if this has been talked about in this thread but ill ask anyways, what are the chances that DD takes the lower offered money? or is he as good as gone to another team now? Well, it's 5 mins from press conference...I'll take a stab at this and say the following happens.... Lions announce D...

Do the math. That's the # of seats you GUARANTEE will be empty if DD stays around.
33,000 - 29,000 = 4,000

I feel kind of the same way. My interest level won't be as high, because no Lions means no real concern as to who wins it all. However, it's good for the CFL that two "small market" teams are competing for the ultimate prize. My buddy is a Lions STH and also a Riders fan. On one hand I wan...
