Re: Training camp 2024
Thanks for your excellent reporting, BC FAN. This from the Leos X feed this morning: #BCLions have released American P/K Shane McDonough & American WR Jamarius Way from the training camp roster. A bit surprised at Way. He was with us 2 years ago and showed a lot of promise. I thought he was goin...

League Thows The Book at Chad Kelly
Chad Kelly has just been suspended by the CFL for the preseason and a minimum of 9 regular season games and ordered to undertake counselling for violating the league's Gender-Based Violence policy. He won't be reinstated until the league is satisfied that he has completed counselling and met the ass...

Re: NFL road rocky for Rourke after Patriots draft QB
I feel badly for Rourke. Probablly has more talent than half the starters in the NFL (he engineered 5 TD drives on 9 drives in preseason for the Jags). I believe he was given bad advice, going into a situation with Trevor Lawrence as the franchise QB and Beathard the established #2 (it probably shou...

Re: 2024 CFL draft (Lion's picks)
Wow. CFL.ca mock draft had Una at #33 overall and we take him at #6. How do we explain this disparity?

Re: Lions, Bombers and Ti-Cats fined for exceeding salary cap
And all this time I thought it was the Bombers who were the culprits. Turns out, we exceeded them by $60K!

Re: Horrific kickoff collision has likely ended Hinsberger’s career
That was both a sad and inspiring read. Hinsperger showed a lot of promise on special teams so I am disappointed that he won't be returning but above all, wish him the best for a full recovery. :thup: This may be an unpopular take but I am not a fan of the return rules being messed with. If there is...

Re: Training camp 2024
I'm torn. I love that the Concert Kick-Off is becoming a staple of the Doman era, with crowds in excess of 30,000 and a buzz built around the team. My concern has been that, while the diehards know that there are only 2 preseason games in which to evaluate and there are fewer padded practices at tra...

Re: Training camp 2024
The change is disappointing in the sense that FanFest at Hillside Stadium has always had a festival atmosphere, even though attendance has dwindled over the years. Why do you suppose that is? I would have expected attendance to increase over time as popularity builds with exposure and engagement (i...

Re: Lions' receivers
IF he (ever) comes up here, it's likely going to cost a bundle to sign him. Also, if ego was an issue in the NFL, then I am not sure how it is going to get massaged playing in the CFL. He lasted just 2 years with with the organization (Steelers) that drafted him, playing for a no-nonsense coach (Tom...

Re: Touchdown Pacific in Victoria 2024
Nice to see the enthusiastic response to ticket sales but I can't se the advantage for the Lions when they could have sold 10,000 more tickets hosting the game at B.C. Place. Willing to let the accountants figure it out though and happy for the people of Vancouver Island. This game has very little ...

Re: Lions' receivers
A few of the new recruits, Stanley Berryhill III, Devon Ravenel, and Ed Lee have all been timed at 4.45 in the 40. For what it's worth.

Re: RIP Craig Roh
Really sad news. Super nice guy. Started his career as a defensive end with the Leos but I thought really came into his own with the Bombers.
Gone far too soon. RIP.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
Sounded earlier there was zero interest in bringing Lucky back but he might be just the guy they need while waiting on Hatcher. Qualifies as a marketable personality if nothing else although it seems he may not be a Rick Campbell favorite similar to the way Loucheiz Purifoy was . He does know the p...
