Chris Wilson never looked this good. Never.
I think Richard Wade had a lot to do with Cameron being here, actually. Credit where credit is due and all.

Re: We're A Better Team!

Talent wise, we're a better team than the 2006 Grey Cup Champion edition. Now, if only we can get the execution and mental sharpness down...this team really could be impressive! Good points, Blitz. I watched the situation in Calgary when WB was being savaged by Fred Fateri and Michael Feterik. That...

Good for Wally. The man's patience pays off again. He does make decisions for the long run. What did Wally get for him, do you think? Second round pick? And good for Pikula. He seems like a nice, young man with good talent. What has happened with Luca Congi? He seemed to be even better than Pikula a...

re Damon Allen

To start with, I will always have a high regard for Damon Allen for the Grey Cup win in 2000. That one was sweet, almost as sweet as the 1994 win. Damon has a great record in big games. It is amazing the records he has accumulated in his career when it seems he always sucks in the regular season. I ...

News Flash ... Dickenson runs his mouth, blames others LOL

News Flash ... Dickenson runs his mouth, blames others LOL It is rather bizarre. DD is the last guy you would ever expect to complain, shift blame, etc. He even expressed guilt and regret for putting heat on Jiminez for stepping on his foot during TC. DD is a standup guy, a great teammate, a coach o...

Great post. Thanks for the insight. Do you have information or opinions on why Buratto gets fired so often. I like his character, and his concepts seem sound. I wonder if he is too independent and perhaps difficult for bosses. Also, I was disappointed when we missed the chance to get Cortez as coord...

WWE is a carnival, a circus, vaudeville WWE is hype, violence, sexual exploitation, dishonesty, bull sheeit, bad role-modeling and a bunch of other things I can't even think of. And I am ashamed to say that I watch it occasionally. It is very compelling. It pushes primitive buttons in people. It doe...

[Dave Ritchie vs. Steve Burratto] That's a good matchup. I've always liked Burratto. The story he tells of his experience as a rookie trying out for Vince Lombardi was very interesting. Taking care of his wife, working with his brother, getting back into coaching with the Lions: all interesting. I t...

re Wally "do your jobs" vs Pinball "For Queen and Country" rah rah Yes, that would seem to characterize the two coaches quite well. Wally is as good as it gets at building a team, bringing in new talent, replacing aging veterans, setting an overall tone of high expectations, bein...

special sections in the Sun and Province

I enjoyed the special sections on the Lions in the local papers ... great interview/article on Jiminez ...... especially liked the funny story about how they named their 2 dogs: Lola and Champ ... Big Jiminez must have really stuck out walking around in New Westminster in the offseason. The cartoon ...

re Bret Anderson

Like most of us here, I am an Anderson fan. It goes back to his high school days. He was maybe even better at basketball than football. He was the Most Valuable Player when his team won the BC basketball championship in his grade 12 year. I saw every one of his games that tournament. In the final ga...
