I heard that interview. Not to defend Arceneaux, but perhaps his statement made in the heat of the moment.Toppy Vann wrote:Post game interview with Arceneaux proves my point on character.

Burns and Moj ripped the heck of him.
Burns has developed into a top notch analyst. He points out we're too small on the DL...
Great show - better than the game.
I wouldn't bet on Arceneaux and Taylor being on the roster for long. LU was on the radio with Sekeres and Caravatta at noon. He said the most likely changes that Lions could make at this point in the season would be to insert two receivers who are already getting practice reps and have shown flashes, Terence Jeffers-Harris and Bryan Burnham. They happen to back up the positions now occupied by Arceneaux and Taylor. And if the Lions liked what they saw and wanted to make a permanent change, they still have one or two more games before veteran contracts become guaranteed for the rest of the year (after 9 games for 6-year vets, 10 games for 5-year vets, etc.).The_Pauser wrote:Emmanuel ArceneauxSammyGreene wrote:If you had $200 and wanted to buy a customized Lions jersey ... name one player it would worth that wasn't a member of the 2011 cup team?

Courtney Taylor
Jabar Westerman?
Granted the first two are kinda cheats since Manny was in the NFL, and CT was on our practice roster.

Manny will be on 1040 with Moj in the 4pm hour. Will be interesting to see if he backs down from what he said last night as a heat of the moment thing like you said, or doubles down and digs in his heels. I'm thinking the former.TheLionKing wrote:I heard that interview.

Yep plenty out there in social media taking a shot at the Lions during this downward time for the franchise. A lot of them Whitecaps fans who seem to think they are clearly now the No. 2 sports team in this town with their 21,000 configuration in a 54,000 seat stadium. Apparently they are doing everything right yet tomorrow's night game still isn't "sold out" against a quality opponent.sj-roc wrote: I encourage everyone on this board as Lions fans to vote in 1040 polls anytime the Q is Lion-related, even if it's on a topic where you don't have a particularly strong view. I would think they keep an eye on the volume of response these polls garner as a guide to how they set their programming. I heard Sekeres yesterday saying they get a lot of correspondence from listeners who complain, "Why do you spend so much time covering a second-rate league like the CFL?" Maybe not exact quote but that was definitely the spirit of the comment he was trying to convey. So we have to make our voices heard as well. I was listening to Rintoul one evening a week or two ago and he read an email from a listener who said 1040 should be all-hockey. I know this might be all a bit ironic considering for which league the network has TV rights but there you go; we should remain active in countering these views.

Chris Burns listed all the guys he'd play with and Geroy and said these guys did not get INTs on them Elgaard, Narcisse, Flutie etc etc etc.sj-roc wrote:"I mean I really don't know what to say.

I mentioned he'd be on with Moj & Jeff Paterson, here's the interview; doesn't start until a few minutes in as they first cover the breaking Higgins firing story.
Arceneaux: I feel the same as I did yesterday
They gave him every opportunity to take back what he said after having a night to sleep on it about not respecting Mtl ("I'm trying to give you an out here," as Moj put it), but passed it up. Moj bristled when Manny suggested the media was blowing it out of proportion and got somewhat combative with him on the "no respect" comment. Good that he faced the media the next day over what he said but disappointing to hear him still singing this same tune the next day. I figured JT and/or WB would have had a word with him about it and maybe even put him up to this interview today but that wasn't the case.
The Manny Show? More like Manny NO-Show. *smh*
The double negative in Arceneaux’s graceless grammatical construction is apropos, since he didn’t even wave at a late-game throw that turned into a game-turning interception, while hanging his quarterback out to dry. Post-game, when one might have expected contrition, Arceneaux instead offered castigation, dumping on a team that cut through the Lions for 251 rushing yards for Montreal’s first win at BC Place Stadium since Aug. 31, 2000.
“He made a great diving catch,” Lions head coach Jeff Tedford said of the interception by Alouettes halfback Dominique Ellis that led to Montreal’s winning score. “We didn’t dive for it. They did.”
The “we” was Arceneaux, who pulled up on a sideline throw by Lulay that Ellis wanted more. The interception was turned into a fourth-quarter touchdown run by backup quarterback Tanner Marsh seven plays later. That was the back-breaker for the Montrealers.
http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Lion ... z3jWZL7FRvThe Lions came into the Montreal game with the weakest defence against the pass and the most porous against the rush (tied with Winnipeg). B.C. had allowed a league worst average of 406.7 yards in its first seven games. Montreal rolled up 411 in game No. 8.

Manny Arceneaux is exactly what I surmised by his play - self centred, egotistical, classless and dumb.
How can you help my team win another game?
Ans:
STFU you classless disgrace to your team and do your job and prove your skill matches your ego.
The Moj gave him every chance to back down and he doesn't.
Where is the BC Lions braintrust with this train wreck out there?
