It is kind of funny how we have Jimenez, Murphy, Glatt and others commenting on the "negativity" by the fans...

I doubt these players were criticizing the fans, but perhaps the media coverage?

The Lion should mabey build a temporary stadium, say, 35,000 seats, located at the convergence of Hwys 10 and 17 in S. Delta. This would be a handy location and is serviced by Hwys 99 & 91 as well. Just build Vancouver's biggest parking lot, lay down some sod and erect the temporary grandstands ...

LU is probably the source of 90% of the Lions info on this site and Team1040 also. Any news or rumours about the Lions from other stations or sources is usually wrong 90% of the time. I feel a bit sorry for some of the Lions players sometimes, who I know do read Lionbackers and other sites (R. Murph...

LU responded in his blog:

At no time have I ever tried to suggest that a fan site is the basis of knowledge.

At least he got that one right! :lol:

This is good news and hopefully JJ is healthy enough to backup Buck and we won't have to rely on Zac Champion who hasn't taken a snap this year, I don't believe. The unfortunate thing is that Jarius has not progressed this season. Like last year he is not finding his receivers or reading the defence...

I doubt the Riders will see Durant again this season. Once Bishop gets rolling he will be annointed as the starter...and no way they pull Bishop to make DD the starter because of his hurt feelings. He will have to bide his time and wait for a Bishop injury or struggle to get back in there.

I don't think it's in Buck's nature to hook slide or throw the ball into the stands to avoid a hit. Never seen him do it yet. Is Jarius so banged up he can't play or can he backup, or would Zac be put in?

It's 2:20pm...where's Wally???? Perhaps re-painting the walls at the practice site? I imagime he took some paint off them recently. Buono lets diagram board have it Wire Services Published: Sunday, August 24, 2008 Wally Buono will invariably fine Geroy Simon for his dead-ball roughing penalty that ...

Why would we want Crandell when we already have Jarius??

Good points, David, although I'm not sure that NFL cuts are the answer right now. It smacks of desperation to start an unknown player who might not know our playbook and has had only a few practices with the team...over a veteran who has toiled through training camp and knows our system, but is foun...

Another master stroke by Tillman. This guy can do no wrong. I thought he was just a red-haired pissant, but he has been a consistent winner and Grey Cup champ wherever he goes (the Renegades weren't his fault :wink: .) Bishop will probably rip up the Lions defence in the upcoming series, which has s...

If Bell was any good, why was he released before the preseason? Most of the best NFL prospects are kept until the final cutdown day. Did Whitehead even make an NFL training camp this year? We already have the CFL's top rusher on our roster, like 1600 yds and 18 td's last year. Plus Joe hardly ever f...

Subconsciously, perhaps the players know that all four western teams will probably make the playoffs. So why kill yourself trying to get first place when you might have an easier route as the 3rd place club in the East? I have a feeling once the chips are down, this team will come through, but there...

You get a single point for tackling an opponent in his endzone on any missed field goal or punt return. If the ball is kicked through the endzone and not returned, a single point is awarded and the ball is spotted on the 35 (except on kickoffs when no point is awarded if the ball goes through the en...

I doubt the Lions would be interested in getting Printers this season. It would be a stab in the back to Jarius and Buck to bring Casey in now. Wally will have to live with the QBs he chose for this season, but all bets are off for next year. The Argos Cetout is a Canadian receiver who is a player t...
