Re: The Buck Starts Here

There's no way I would play Buck for all 4 quarters next week. Someone's gonna be looking to knock him out for the playoffs. I'd like to see Demarco and Elliot or Lulay (depending who dresses) get some work in.

Re: CFL Week: Odds, Previews, Results

Chances are they'll play the Labour Day in Ham on Sep 1 anyway but they'll have to take a bye week somewhere else in this window or be forced to play four road games in a row. ...or just keep playing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Hopefully they will be able to announce something solid developing on t...

Re: Andrew Harris

Is the glass half empty or half full? Obviously the Lions have been very successful over the last decade. And Wally & co deserve a ton of credit for that. And while I would never pretend their job is an easy one or that I know better than they do, the fact is while we have enjoyed championships ...

Re: Lions Den tonight at 6...

We also can't expect the HC to be grilled by their radio partner Team 1040 - that's not like likely nor would it be very ethical nor smart business. It was like one of our speakers at an event we hosted here in Hong Kong who was quoting Gallup's 12 question employee survey findings where that outfi...

Not to disagree with everything you wrote (I don't care that much for Jake's show, either) but the podcast for last night's Lions Den can be downloaded here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEAM1040-Evenings-Moj As I type right now only Oct 21 is available so the content might be constantly refreshed d...

Re: Lions Den tonight at 6...

Nothing against jcalhoun for starting this thread, but I've officially given up on trying to glean CFL insight from Team Radio, with the exception of the pre and post game shows which are about as decent as could be expected these days I guess. These Lions Den segments are usually shallow and brief,...

Re: Ticket Prices / Lions' Marketing

The back row of the upper deck in BCP goes for the same price as the lower bowl front row seat directly in front of it. The R&N seem to get that there's something a bit off with this notion, but not the Lions. A truly absurd pricing scheme, thanks for the reminder of how bad it is. Honest quest...

Re: Andrew Harris

MexicoLionFan makes some great points. In fact his first post on this thread is one of my favs on here. Also jcalhoun's description of the sideline body language of Harris and Lulay was really good. It's not hard to read between the lines of a lot of what is said and not said by the players this yea...

Re: Has Buono given up on 2013?

Not sure how I feel about Stefan Logan coming back. Loved the guy when he was here not just for his talent and his ability to excite but his drive and commitment; he always seemed to have that ability to dig deep on every play. I haven't watched him in the NFL so I don't know if his play is still c...

Signs of life on Youtube... this video going viral today

Hopefully this is not just a flash in the pan and they let the channel go dormant for months on end like usual.

Re: Ticket Prices / Lions' Marketing

I think I do recall that the upper bowl remained closed for most of the 2004 regular season, until the last home game, despite Caseymania leading to several 29k+ "sellouts" down the stretch (or near sellouts... it was often reported that there were barely any tickets left and would likely ...
