Didn't make any comment about nearly having a heart attack in this post. As you said, I've mentioned it before and it seems to be a source of irritation to you.Robbie wrote:Yeah, and you almost suffered a heart attack as you stated a few times before in the past. Did you bother to stay around to see the newly designed trophy presentation?Big Time wrote:Funniest part for me was that because of the stress and intensity of the game, I had not realized that Paul's miss resulted in a single point. So I didn't even realize that if Duncan had missed, the Lions would have likely lost the game. So I was considerably less stressed about the Duncan kick in OT because I thought at worst the game is just tied and they play another round of possessions. Whoops!
So....how about talking about the 2006 and 2011 WDF instead in which McCallum did his job and you and all Lions fans were not even close to getting a heart attack with the blowout wins? What was your best memory for those two blowout WDF wins other than not getting a heart attack?
From 2006, I think it was some bone headed decisions by Danny Barrett near the end of the first half that led to some quick scores by the Lions to put the game out of reach. The 2006 team was so dominant I didn't feel they were going to be denied. I really disliked the Danny Barrett era of the Riders because those teams never won anything yet he was one of the most arrogant coaches I have ever seen. I enjoyed every minute of that blowout win for the Lions.
I didn't go to the 2011 WDF although I was at the Grey Cup the following week. Nothing but good memories from that one!
