not speaking to the media is a huge plus in my books

Really? Would you like the Lions to try that? Good luck selling tickets if they start crap like that. Fortunately for Lynch, his team doesn't have to worry about selling tickets.

From his 2009 draft year ... 3. Austin Collie (WR, Brigham Young): Contrary to popular belief, Vaughn Martin wasn't the first Canadian chosen in the 2009 NFL Draft. That honour belongs to Collie, the Indianapolis Colts fourth rounder, who was born in Hamilton, Ontario while his father Scott was cat...

I couldn't agree more Ravi. I am really surprised that some Lions fans (and Wally) don't see things the same way. While the surging popularity for the NFL in general and Seattle Seahawks in particular may be good for the sport of football overall (ergo, more people will watch the Lions if they get ...

How wonderful that the city of Vancouver is supporting the likes of Bennett and that jerk Lynch: http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2015/01/29/seahawks-12th-man-flag-flapping-all-across-canada/ This sudden love of all things Seahawk in Vancouver reminds me very much of what happened in southern Ontario i...

There are two former Lions featured in that video.

Apparently Ryan wants Trestman to be his OC wherever he ends up..... Maybe so they can reminisce about their time spent in Canada?!? :wink: DH :cool: That's interesting, David. I hadn't known that Ryan had lived in Canada until I saw your post and looked him up on Wiki. It's certainly a validation ...

Too early to talk about coaching candidates for the new vacancies? There's a nice shiny Receiver's coaching spot available for an old Lions WR legend ;) I hear you, but I'm not sure that it follows that a great receiver will necessarily be a great receivers' coach . It is kind of interesting that n...

My suspicion, as well, is that Tedford will be taking over the GM role from Wally in two years and that he has been promised this.

Nice to see Braley opening up his pocket book for one of his teams.

TheLionKing wrote:I couldn't watch the video. Absolutely terrible. Poor filming and poor audio.

I watched it but feel very nauseous now.

The timing of the press conference certainly didn't help give it national exposure. TSN had a two-minute segment 31 minutes into Friday night SportsCentre featuring mostly old clips of Tedford playing QB for the Stamps in the '80s. I sat through a full hour of Sportsnet's national show without seei...

I have been coming on this forum for many years now - and I find it thoroughly enjoyable and educational - but do feel like I have been poisoned against Chapdelaine. My feelings toward him are quite negative after reading so much about him on here over the years. Yet, when one looks at the offensive...

Let the speculation begin! @arashmardani For what it's worth, two names I've heard in the conversation to be the next commissioner include Tom Anselmi and David Branch. Branch is an interesting name that I had not heard before. He has been the head of the Ontario Hockey League since 1979 so perhaps...

I think that Watkins may have been better off in the CFL to begin with as he could have enjoyed playing football while still pursuing his passion for firefighting but it looks like the NFL, as it does for some, sucked all of the fun out of football for Watkins: http://mmqb.si.com/2014/12/17/danny-wa...
