Re: 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread

There should be an option in the poll for "Other" or "Anyone Except These People!". Looking at all the candidates (on both sides) from my armchair I just shake my head and wonder "Are these the best they can find????" :tease: Maybe American voter should be able to "...

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023

Oh yea, does Campbell realize that he CAN throw a challenge flag? There are no bonus points for keeping it in your pocket at the end of the game. Good grief. Our players literally have to be mugged before he will consider it. Was it not foolish to run out the clock after Williams' long return in th...

Re: Elks vs. Lions Aug. 19, 2021

Has anyone heard whether AM730 (Radio Home of the BC Lions) will follow TSN1040's example and broadcast (re-broadcast?) their AM signal inside PC Place on an FM frequency? With all the concrete/rebar in the building the AM signal will be spotty (unless you're near a window - HAH!) and it would be ni...

Re: Lions announce the passing of Ted Gerela

Impossible to let this news pass without adding my thoughts. I grew up watching the Lions and Ted Gerela was a favourite almost right from his first kick. I became envious of his success kicking "soccer style" so I tried to emulate him but I failed miserably, probably because I had never p...

Re: Empire Stadium Replay Screen

That's quarterback Don Moorhead (#27) and head coach Eagle Keys on a warm summer night in 1974. DH :cool: In those days our seats were in section EE, aka the CKNW '98 Club, and I remember a few summer evenings like the one in the photo where we would need to "salute" the sunset, much like...

You guys got it wrong Josh Boden breaking Paris Jackson's jaw.

It was Jerome Messam.

Re: Who are your Top 5 Despicable B.C. Lions Players?

Aside from a few of the names already mentioned, I can't think of any player being particularly "despicable" on the field. Much in the same manner as Steve Muhammad, Yonus Davis, et al, who ran into troubles with the law after they played here, a fellow North Vancouverite certainly gets my...

RIP Vic Kristopaitis

Just read in the paper about the passing of former Lions punter Vic Kristopaitis. He was 85. Here's an excerpt from his obituary: "Sadly, Vic passed away surrounded by family, due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. Victor was born in Swissvale, Pennsylvania, the youngest of 4 children, ...

Re: 2019 Grey Cup Game Day Thread

Is it just me or does anybody else get the impression that ZLions lost a big bet on the Ticats? :tease: Since when is it wrong for a coach to smile "from time to time". Maybe the context behind one of those irksome smiles was when Steinauer got the news that Banks was done for the game, an...

Re: DeVone Claybrooks fired

* I wonder how much input Reilly will be given? I don't think Maas is in the mix BTW as he's too volatile, despite his Edmonton connections. I am sure he is a decent guy in the off-season, but head coaching is about 'image.' Those extreme in-game temper-tantrums reflect badly on organization and br...

Re: Who Will Be Lions Backup QB Next Year

I chose Bridge, mostly because I like the idea of a Canadian QB, but also because of his potential. Yes, he has been tried and rejected by other teams, but keep in mind that during his time in Sask he played whenever Chris Jones wanted to shake things up a little. Most defensive genius types have li...

Re: Hamilton at B.C. Aug. 24, 2019 - Post Game Thread

The coaching salary cap handcuffs Hervey. He could fire a coach, but would be prevented from hiring a replacement by the cap, so we would just be without a coach. Heed those wise words above and be careful what you wish for. With his hands tied by the SMS, Hervey might decide to shuffle the deck ch...

Re: 2019 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Cybulski and Solkowski suggested this morning (in the 8:00 hour) that in 10 years, we may not be watching sporting events at BC Place any longer. That stadium could be torn down and a smaller outdoor stadium built in its place as the footprint, or "Hastings Park" would be a very attractiv...

Re: Lions at Riders July 20, 2019 - Game Day Thread

With a bye coming up after next week, I'd be all in favour of sticking Reilly on the 1-game injured list so he'd have 2 weeks off to heal up, but since we have nobody who resembles a competent backup QB on the roster that would be futile. When I look down the roster here's what I see: Danny O'Brien,...
