Re: Seahawks' Michael Bennett Takes Jab at CFL on Media Day

How wonderful that the city of Vancouver is supporting the likes of Bennett and that jerk Lynch: http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2015/01/29/seahawks-12th-man-flag-flapping-all-across-canada/ This sudden love of all things Seahawk in Vancouver reminds me very much of what happened in southern Ontario ...

Re: Lions sign Austin Collie

I believe Collie was brought in to put some pressure on, and challenge the receivers, particularly the Canadian receivers. The Lions can select a receiver in the draft, but that won't nearly apply the pressure to the veteran Canadian receivers as would Collie. Collie has had some serious injuries an...

Re: Head Coach - Lions announce Jeff Tedford as HC

Here's something for you Jeff Tedford fans - " In 2011 with the California state budget in meltdown - layoffs, education costs, $14 billion in short-term debt and $600 billion in unfunded liabilities - Cal head coach Jeff Tedford was the state's highest paid employee, with a 2.8 million salary....

Re: Wally Buono Press Conferences - Post Season

Anyway, back to football!! MexicoLionFan , when you mentioned that Wally was basically responsible for keeping Iannuzzi on the field, how to do you know that? Is this fact, or is it your impression. Let's be careful what we say here. Look, I too felt that Iannuzzi and Poblah should have been replace...

Re: Lulay and Buono Press Conferences -- December 2, 2014

I have to agree with SP about the negativity here recently. Reminds me of the old Area51 days! People can play armchair GM and HC all they want, but let's face it, none of us are, were or ever will be the real thing! Lets show a little respect for fellow fans! Ziggy , I couldn't agree with you more...

Re: Lions and League Free Agents?

Interesting, on the BC Lions roster (BC Lions website) the names #31 Marsh, #51 Matechuk, #2 Glenn, and #96 Mitchell do not appear. Yet, other free agents not signed, Arakgi, LaRose and E. Jackson do appear. Any explanations? There are glitches with names being input and others taken off, but at le...

Re: Can we be more CFL-positive?

Can we please remove Rod Black from play-by-play on TSN telecasts and stop the almost constant NFL references during his telecasts? It made me sick on East Final Sunday when Black was droning on and on - for the upteenth time no less - about the fathers of Duron Carter and Luke Tasker as well as Ch...

Re: Grey Cup Tickets

Sadly, at the 1999 Grey Cup in Vancouver (between Calgary and Hamilton), only 45,000 were in attendance; while 47,000 were in attendance in 1990 and 55,000 in 1994 (a game the Lions were in). I hope we're not going back to the negative 90's in attendance.

Re: Grey Cup Tickets

Grey Cups are amazing events. We've been lucky that the Lions have appeared in two of the last four Cups at B.C. Place. The other two games (Hamilton's last Cup win over Buono and Dickenson's Stampeders in 1999 and Edmonton's OT thriller over Montreal in 2005) were great experiences, on the field a...
