Re: Should next Lions owner(s) consider a minor celebrity st
As for Pamela Anderson, she attracted some good publicity when she served as grand marshal of the Grey Cup parade but I don't want her involved in high-level team decision-making. And I especially don't want to see an all-vegan menu at B.C. Place concession stands. :) Considering her ties to PETA, ...

Re: speaching
Reminds me of my favourite question to ask folks these days: "What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?"
I don't know, and I don't care.

Re: sometimes it really works
I tried a lot of different ways around it and nothing worked. So I punch the side three times, really rocked it, now it works again, at least for now. Go figure :) Electronics repair technicians commonly refer to that process as "percussive maintenance". :rotf: (Seriously speaking, though...

Re: An idea to kick around?
i think wally is leaning towards swayze waters, who was the one of the best kicker/punters in league until he went to nfl. biggest issue is he a INT and takes a DI spot away Good call, Qman! Waters signed a one-year deal. I guess at 29 years of age he thinks he still has a shot at the NFL. :bang: A...

94 Canucks stuff
I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm cleaning out an old filing cabinet and I'd like to give anyone that's interested an opportunity to grab some items related to the 94 Canucks. If nobody claims them they'll go into the paper recycling bin. There are some special newspaper inserts: Vanc...

Re: An idea to kick around?
I see Farhan is reporting that the Als have released Anthony Fera, so unless he's signing an NFL deal like all the other early FA releases I would expect Wally to give him a call.

Re: An idea to kick around?
If Wally inquired today, I am sure that QVG would cost more than a 3rd rounder. Jones would likely ask for one of our first rounders in return But didn't Wally already send a past first-rounder to Riderville last June? Ese Mrabure (looks like he has dropped the "hyphen Ajufo"), who was so...

An idea to kick around?
Is it too early to be concerned about the Leos' kicking game for 2017 (and beyond)? As much as I respect Paul McCallum, I don't see him as a viable option heading into the new season. And as we get closer to Feb 14th, more and more of the good FA kickers have been locked up. Unlike the fabled US Col...

Re: lions helmet on ebay
Besides DB Dale Brady mentioned above, Other players who wore #15 are: QB Vidal Carlin (70, facemask not QB style, though), DB Bob Hall (67), DB Wayne Matherne (71-74), WR Jake Scott (69) From that list I would suspect the helmet might have belonged to Wayne Matherne. He was a hard hitter and the he...

Re: Let's pack the dome for the WSF ! WSF ticket sales thre
I see the Canuckleheads are playing the Dallas Stars across the street next Sunday. If I was in the Lions front office I would put up several huge signs facing the Garage, I mean Rogers Arena, advertising a special offer for disgruntled 'Nucks fans: "Come out and support an exciting, winning Va...

Re: Leos/Eskimos Post Game Thoughts
Anyone else out there thinking Jason Maas lacks the level of maturity needed to be a head coach? What a crybaby. That second Objectionable Conduct penalty should have included sending him to the showers. Yes, Biggie did fall into Reilly's legs, but Biggie had been tripped and Reilly saw him coming s...

Re: All-Canadian (National) B.C. Lions Dream Team
Can I nominate a football reporter for Honourable Mention? A schoolmate I played many noon-hour touch football games with at WVSS went on to become a sportswriter for the Vancouver Province. Kent Spencer wasn't officially assigned to the football beat, but whenever he wrote an article about the Leos...

Re: Calgary @ BC - Game Journal and Post Game Comments
That first half was painful to watch. All I could think was "This feels like a preseaon game!" Maybe the CFL & CFLPA need to sit down and figure out a way to get a 3rd tune-up game on the schedule so everyone's better prepared to open the season. The only group that looked ready to pla...

Re: Mini-Camp Round Up
Yes, good job of coverage. I couldn't find much info anywhere else. Thanks. On another note, I know football has been locked into traditional thinking in terms how things are done, but isn't this taking the idea of X's and O's just a tad too far? :tease: http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/gdmu...

Thanks for get well wishes. I feel much better today, about 60% recovered, but cannot work till New Year. After Christmas, we should hear more news. Looking for that ST coach now.
