Re: Garrett Marino
Wasn't he the guy that got Phillip Norman all riled up in the Leos' 2nd preseason game? I recall Norman punching a guy on the ground and getting ejected. DH :cool: It was. I recall Marino being on the ground and trying to do the classic hockey fight move of pulling the back of Norman's jersey over ...

Re: Lions v Bombers July 9
:beer: Had to laugh at the in-stadium Players Of The Game (I needed SOME comic relief from this debacle!). Offense - Dominique Rhymes Defense - Marcus Sayles Special Teams - Stefan Flintoft Rhymes, yea he was great. No issue there. But Flintoft? Are you kidding me?? One horrible punt out of bounds i...

Re: Lions at Redblacks June 30, 2022
They should do much better David. 3-0 instead of 1-0. The club is proving to be playing the most exciting football by any team in recent memory. Rourke is getting to be a known commodity. Bombers are a historically better draw. Could be a battle of the undefeated for 1st. And the 4pm start should e...

Re: NFL Interest in Rourke
An undrafted free agent who has a stellar season in the CFL does not trump being a high NFL draft pick, imo and the opinion of many scouts and NFL GMs, so assuming that Rourke continues his stellar play, next season in the NFL would be as a backup initially for Rourke. Rourke would be best off, imo...

Re: Lions vs. Argos June 25, 2022
I am not a fan of Bo Lokombo playing with less than week since being knocked unconscious (brief as it might have been, that is what has been reported). I am a retired Occupational First Aid Attendant and it was standard practice in logging, for anyone getting a concussion, to get a full week off wo...

Re: Lions vs. Argos June 25, 2022
Regarding low attendance many of my friends are out of town camping etc. I have tickets but will be watching from home because I have COVID. It was a great opener but summer games are always a tougher sell in Vancouver. I wish they would push the season back to where it used to be. After the Stanle...

Re: Season opener: Lions vs. Elks June 11, 2022
Can Doman give Larry Tanenbaum a call and give him some much-needed advice? Have a look at some of the discussion on the Argofans board. The natives are restless there and wishing they had someone like Doman rather than MLSE, who could afford to buy every team in the league three times over but are...

Re: Season opener: Lions vs. Elks June 11, 2022
Apparently 5000 seats have been sold in upper deck already with more sections opening up. At $20 & $10 for 17 and under they are exceptional value. Clearly Doman wants those seats to move as they were never priced that low when I sat up there for a number of years. 30,000 plus looking like a so...

Re: Eskimos vs. Lions June 24, 2017
The official attendance at cfl.ca was 19,175. There were a lot of no-shows, as there always are in summer. I thought there were about 14,000 people in the building. Interestingly enough, there were 19,176 at the playoff game last season and the stadium looked much fuller than it did last night with...

Same old, same old story from David Braley, interviewed Monday by Rick Dhaliwal of News 1130 Sports: Rick Dhaliwal @DhaliwalSports #BCLions owner David Braley said reports that he is down to 2 candidates to sell his team are not true.

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
While all of that may be true, the Canucks are not winning (at least not yet) and entertaining like the Lions are. Yet the Leos are playing to 73% capacity of the Lower Bowl (assuming their announced attendance is accurate). That would be the equivalent 13,000-14,000 in Rogers Arena. Things haven't...
