Re: Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ BC Lions - August 21, 2009 GDT

Robbie do you write for these guys? http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3889890 Actually this appears to the original source — see page 4.

Re: Buono stands on the verge of CFL history - Ed Willes

Lions coach and GM Wally Buono is one win away from tying the record for most head-coaching wins in CFL history. But Buono says it's the people he's worked with and the relationships he's formed over the years, not the historical significance the wins may represent, that's of real importance. I thi...

Re: Jackson needs to be a soft touch - Lowell Ullrich

Nice article by Lowell Ullrich on Jarious Jackson. A scouting report on Jarious Jackson as a CFL quarterback would read no differently than a big league baseball pitcher before his prime. Substitute Jackson for, say, Nolan Ryan: Great fastball...will be devastating if he can develop an off-speed pit...

Re: Jarious Jackson: Leadership and Character - Mike Beamish

Great article by Mike Beamish about a team first, character guy, a soldier you would want next to you in battle. “Here’s a guy who was put down,” Buono said of his starting quarterback for tomorrow night’s game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “I don’t want to say we didn’t embarrass him, we must ...

Re: Buck Pierce at the Crossroads of His Football Career

Perhaps Buck should watch some tapes of Doug Flutie, who was the master of avoiding being hit. He seemingly went through entire games without being touched. He'd get the ball away quickly, then cower his body away from the hit...or just run or backpedal away from the pass rushers. Flutie and Emmitt...

Re: Jarious Jackson looking out for No. 1 - Mike Beamish

At 32, Jackson has only a small surgical scar, about an inch in length, at the base of his right thumb, to show for all his years playing top-level football. And it was a freak occurrence. Jackson tore the ligaments on his thumb on his first snap as a Lion during a preseason game in 2005. “It’s the...

Re: Lions 21 Bombers 23, says Ron the Bookie

Dayum.

Times are tough when you get no respect from the bookie.

Favored by 8 but not picked to win. Ugghhhh.

A lot depends on Jarious. I hope he is encouraged to go for it by his coaches. Not to play it safe. Not to be as conservative as Wally would want it.
