I have been a Suitor defender for quite some time now. His job is to sell the game and I get that; but lately he is becoming unbearable to listen to. TSN; quit with the story lines. Just call the game. This may be crass but I don't want to listen to the wife of a passed away CFL player HOF inductee...

I don't dislike Suitor as much as some here - and ticky-tack calls on hand-fighting are always open to debate. That said, there should have been no debate about the STOOPID penalty when Calgary shoved our receiver down to the ground as he was getting up after the play (late in the game). This season...

Boy, everyone is making great points. Where did that running game finally come from - so great to see Butler ripping some tasty yards especially when the game was on the line. And agree the kick coverage was massively better. One of the best things was that Adams didn't force too many passes - and w...

I have also posted this question on the BC Lions history thread, but does anyone remember the name of the fantastically no-nonsense stadium public announcer at Empire in the 60s? He had the same style as the Maple Leafs' old Paul Morris. Just give me a bit of time and I will try to dig that up for ...

Does anyone remember the name of the wonderfully dry and straight-forward Empire Stadium announcer who worked the games in the glory days before we needed DJs and blaring music between every single play? I was struck by his voice from my first night in the Woodward's QB club.

Thanks for the head's up. I just came to remind people about this game but you already have. Watched a bit of the game til halftime and it's amazing how much Cameron looks like his brother. It would be great if he plays in the CFL one day, though as the Lions have traded away good draft picks he pro...

Otherwise, yes, having someone like Rourke is like icing an elite goaltender in hockey - he can paper over a lot of team weaknesses.

signed, Carey Price

well, at least he will help the Canadian ratio!

Hopefully Vernon Adams can show some of what made him a highly rated prospect and starting qb. It's obvious we will go nowhere with Pipkin and O'Connor. It's hard to judge other elements of the team when the qb is incompetent. The run game is shut down because the qb can't make passes. Receivers lo...

The incomplete pass to Hatcher at the goalline in the 3rd quarter summed up the game and so did Hatcher's immediate frustration. He initially looks for the pass and Pimpkin doesn't throw it. Hatcher then turns up field to block for him and then he throws it. That's an easy TD pass with Rourke at QB...

Great job from Baker. I noticed the Province on Sunday (after the practice) had two full pages on J. T. Miller and not a sentence on the 8-2 Lions. Again, finding specific info on O'Connor is challenging.

I saw that shot too and it was a cheap shot at best. Not only hit him for no reason but blindsided him too. This guys name keeps floating to tbe top of the dirty play list and yet read on a certain fan forum a ton of complaints about one sided officiating. Some fans would look the other way if it w...

The kick return game was a concern even during the creamy days with Rourke - making moves to improve it now really makes sense in what will be a very volatile second half of the season.

Thanks - now that the team is back practicing it will be good to get some injury updates and reports on which QBs are getting the most reps. I'm also curious how much coverage Donny and Dhali will devote to the Lions as they return before that hockey team hits the ice, particularly now that the over...

I plan on going to Monday’s full practice. Will be interesting to see who is taking the majority of the snaps and how the Lions intend to tweak their ratio. Farhan thinks it might just be what they did on the fly last Friday: the combo of Butler/Scarfone or Mackie/Hatcher. They will have to run Mac...
