Topic: Bufallo Bills owner will get 2 games a year in Toronto.

NFL fans in TO who refuse to go to Buffalo for Bills games will end up paying thru the nose to see the Bills play in TO. A 50,000 seat stadium in TO vs a 80,000 seat stadium in Buffalo guarantees it. Then if the CDN dollar drops in value it will get even more costly to see a game in TO.

Wally went over to the TV crew side line guy before the start of the half and told him about JJ's injury. He didn't give the media a chance to start a quarterback controversy.

Glad Buck got some playing time as he needs to be game ready as starters this year all seem to be one play away from injury. JJ had his best first half so far. On the Foley TD, the replay and TV crew really showed JJ tucking the ball out of sight, behind his hips, after the fake hand off. Exceptiona...

My GF who lives in Victoria, reports that the game was blacked out in Victoria on TSN HD but not blacked out on regular TSN TV. Typical CFL SNAFU.

The Josh Boden "fumble" was completely baffling. As soon as the ball came out the whistle blew before anyone could recover it so the call on the field was down by contact. Somehow the refs changed the play to a fumble and then said there was no conclusive video. What I saw on video was one...

Wally's answer made me smile as his evaluation method is the least scientific, least analytical and most fuzzy yet he has had great success at developing quarterbacks. Taiman's response was the most surprising as I consider the touchdown passes/interception ratio to be the most useless stat in footb...

The Lions need to be more assertive in their ticket sales/marketing by going head to head with the Canucks. Example: Lions are consistent performers, tickets are better priced and excellent seats are available in the upper deck. Last time I checked, Canucks tickets are not really available as they s...

Apparently Riders DB Eddie Davis is healthy now but can't return until after the Lions game due to still being on the 9 game injury list. Too bad as he is their best DB.

Yeah, tell those Rider fans that they are helping to pay for Clermont's new large salary with the Lions.

I love to point out to my GF, who is originally from Regina and still a Riders fan, that all those Riders fans that show up at BC Place when the Riders play the Lions, are financially supporting the Lions. If they where real Rider supporters, they would fly to Regina for Riders games and show their ...

IMHO it is ethical journalism. If there was anything sensitive or secretive going on at practice that the BC Lions did not want the opposition to know about, then the Lions should hold a closed practice. As long as the public and reporters are allowed at practice, then it is safe to assume that ther...
