I have great respect for David Braley but it’s looking more and more likely that the Lions will eventually end up as part of an estate sale. I hope he’s made clear provisions for that in his will.

No kidding, eh! LOL. (Alas, it hurts to laugh).

I'm delighted to hear this! Looking forward to seeing one of our young National receivers come to fuller bloom this coming season. It's vitally important that we have a Canadian in our corp with the "excitement/real threat" potential. Our young Mr. Johnson seems to have pretty decent knack...

A short new post at 3Down quotes Rick LeLacheur (via TSN 1040): “David has told me that he is not going to sell the Lions for sure this year and maybe not even next year. And I came here on the basis of David and Wally [Buono] figuring they needed a president and I still had some fire in my belly fo...

Here's some hopeful (and honest) thoughts from Travis, as per usual.

Thanks B.C.FAN -- I was kinda' hoping you'd jump in with the statistical comparison which I was wondering aloud about. Indeed, Ross looks miserable on paper doesn't he?! Forgettable indeed. I knew he'd seen minimal action but wouldn't have known his numbers were so bleak. That said, for whatever rea...

There is some speculation over at Riderfans that the Lions might have some interest in Vernon Adams. Personally, I think this could be a good fit. I don't think we can count on Lulay being ready to start the year, and we don't have anyone else on the roster who could step in for Jennings if needed....

Not much meat in this article, but a couple interesting comments from Jennings. The young man always seems to have the right attitude. Ain't we lucky that way! -- him and Lulay -- never demonstrative or pouting or making it all about themselves. http://3downnation.com/2018/01/15/lions-qb-jon-jenning...

I don't necessarily see it as an either/or thing -- Jennings' restructured deal can likely benefit him (and team of course) regards what funds it potentially frees up for both his QB mate Lulay and the O-line. I see LU has chimed in on the topic: http://3downnation.com/2018/01/12/new-jennings-deal-l...

While I tend to take most of what 3DownNation offers with a grain of salt, at least initially, it's interesting they cite Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press as claiming (via sources close to the hiring process) that Buck Pierce was first offered and turned down the OC job with the Als. Buck is...

Was just enjoying this little easy-going but character-revealing conversation on The Waggle (cfl.ca) between Davis Sanchez and Ed H. Here's the general link -- not sure if there's a way to get the specific conversation linked other than you just scrolling to it via this general link. (Apologies if s...

Exactly. I'm well aware of the All-Star format. It and your comment only further reinforce my point IMO; not enough respect to even accommodate for the possibility of inclusion (and by that I'm of course not assuming you've personally no appreciation for FBs), Just saying. They're players too. And s...

Thanks for posting the CFL All-Star list, B.C.FAN. I somehow missed ever seeing this year's Players Association version of same, but other than what you already mention about Solly making both lists, I'd be curious to see how they compare--i.e. who else is on both. My pet peeve about this list is th...

Well, well... seems Luke Willson (with two 'L's) did not in fact catch a pass all game! --making a liar outta me. I just checked the game and player stats, and, nothin' doin'. I remember seeing him in the frame time to time throughout the game. He may have been targeted without success, or he may ha...

FWIW, I don't know, can't recall, if he in any way had anything to do with the particular play you refer to Robbie, or perhaps did something that series, but tight end Luke Willson (with two 'L's as they often like to say) is Canadian (grew up near Windsor, ON.) Never played in the CFL, but he is Ca...

Thanks David, for recommending the link to the Matt/Wally radio interview. Much appreciated. Both gentlemen (Matt & Wally) do a real good job of communicating throughout IMO, and it was nice to hear Wally's nod to the fans -- him knowing that we're hungry for an understanding of the new situatio...
