Thanks notahomer, I guess I was wrong. The Benevides pre-game speech was there for all to see and I didn't think he looked particularly comfortable. I actually liked the part right afterward when the players huddled up around Khalif and an unidentified player who said, "let's give these fans who support us through the good, the bad, and the ugly something to be proud about." :thup: I also had a LOL when he said "at the end of the day, (bleep) the rah, rah - play for pride." I don't think it was a subtle dig at his overly emotional HC, but it sure sounded funny.

The other thing with the Wally radio interview (cue the "beep, beep, beep" of a truck in reverse), was him fumbling for Bene's winning record as HC of our Leos. That's an insult to sophisticated fans who recognize that we've regressed every year since he took over.

You weren't WRONG! Suddenly they stopped showing all the pre-game/post-game lockerroom stuff, you said something about and IMO, certainly WAS the case. Maybe they spotted your comment and went "we gotta post this stuff win/lose".

Thats why I think its important. You can't show the rally the troops, we'll get em speeches only when you win, that looks dumb to me....

Well I guess they decided a pre-game video was worth showing..... http://bclions.com/video/index/id/105861
Wow..... I can't believe how Benevides is looking now.

Clearly he is under a ton of pressure from the look on his face. The cliches - "get 7's" - jargon - reminds of a hockey radio call in clown.

Wally is the guy who put him there and for the life of me I can't understand why he didn't see this guy is not ready.

Guess someone at the Lions are reading Lionbackers' comments.
