Crosley said a new roof -- in the same marshmallow style as the current one -- would cost $20 million to $30 million, but the "sky's the limit" if other designs are considered. If they are serious about keeping the dome beyond 2010 ... then a new roof should be ordered now rather than con...

Today's Province: "There were some [new] tears that we believe were caused by the winds and the rain [Friday] evening," Crosley said. "We believe they can be fixed right now, but we need a full assessment and if there is another [patch] piece needed, we will get another one in." ...

WOW... what a ride that game was. The ref had a lot of balls to move the ball back on the previous 3rd down play. That would have been the game with the Hawks having just one timeout left. It was close and I thought most replay angles were inconclusive. His forward progress was definitely inside the...

I just want to know one thing ... What is your alibi David??? 8) LOL.... that's what I was thinking too. If there is any good to come out of this is we should get a better idea of the dome's future beyond 2010 since media should be all over it for the next few days. And if it is green lighted beyon...

I thought I read he would come back to B.C. for $150,000 which is right where Flory re-signed for in Montreal. The Lions do already have their share of players in this price range and two OL starters that are at or right around six figures. But Wally would be saving some money should he decide not t...

Lowell Ullrich wrote in today's Province about the Redskins being interested in Wilson but there was no mentioned of dicussions being that far along. Wilson was playing his best football as a Lion during the stretch run. At 6-4, 240 he will either have to bulk up more or show he can play LB down sou...

?07 Training camp returning to Abbotsford

For the next 2 years too. Little surprised given they said they would return to Kamloops when the fields were ready but the City of Abbotsford is showing a lot of love for the Grey Cup champs including $25,000 worth of season tickets as part of the deal: Why mess with success? Lions? camp returns By...

I walked around Richmond Centre and I'm disappointed that none of the sports stores in that mall carried any Lions apparel or souvenirs. Sportchek at Richmond Centre had some Grey Cup champ hats, jerseys and t-shirts a few weeks ago and it has since sold out. Game Day Sports also has basically no L...

I guess one thing that does back this up is how evasive the Lions are about their bottom line. Regular season attendance hasn't been this good in 15 years yet Ackles said the team was going to lose money this year until the big Western Final gate. And what's it been now... 3 straight years of increa...

This doesn't look good on Braley and indirectly explains why he is listed 10th by the Globe in their top 25 most influential sports personalities in 2006. http://www.globesports.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061220.wsptnash20/GSStory/GlobeSportsBasketball/home Bottom line is he doesn't want anyone telli...

New TV deal announced

Wow... everything on TSN, including the Grey Cup game.

Not sure if this is good for the overall ratings but I do like the idea of Cuthbert doing Grey Cup games again :thup:

Interesting to see the website was included too.
