Re: Gameday Thread: Argos at Lions, Sept. 15th 4pm...
With the huge Asian population in fairly affluent Richmond and throughout Vancouver, it would seem to me that the ideal long term marketing approach should really try to increase interest in football among Asian-Canadians. Also since a group of Lions is called a Pride, I guess that is where the slog...

Re: CFL Pet Peeve No. 1
I can accept your argument from an aesthetics stand point, but really, "ability to inure players??" Darius Passmore aside, how many players in the hundreds of game played since (or prior to for that matter) have you seen injured by a cardboard sign?? Well, for me once is enough. And it's ...

Re: TSN's CFL Broadcasts....
In the TiCat game Gord Miller (who I normally Like) twice referred to Peguise as coming to them from the Stamps and I think Forde corrected him the first time but by the second time maybe Forde started doubting himself. Forde it seems, because he works with Rod Black, is really good at correcting hi...

Re: Lions 28 - Argonauts 23 Post Game Stats and Comments
Early in the game Lions tried a FG (missed it) when it was 3 and 1. Why not gamble?
On TOs fake punt there were no Lions rushing the punter. Maybe it wasn't a called play by TO just an opportunistic play by the punter.

Re: Leos/Argos Keys to the Game
Is Kackert not playing? If he is he could be a threat as he is more dangerous catching out of the backfield than Boyd was.Ballistic Bob wrote:No Kackert. BB

Re: CFL Games Previews, Odds and Post Game Comments
I'm thinking LaPolice is better off being fired and Joe Mack's decision to force LaPolice to hire an OC to call plays instead of Lapo was another mistake especially since the OC has no previous CFL experience and apparently has yet to figure out the finer points of calling plays in the CFL. I wonder...

Re: Solomon Elimimiam and Adam Bighill
But as his agent, having Sol complete out his contract obligation at a low wage, playing a minor role on the Lions, is hardly the best option for Soloman...sign a new 2 year deal for significant money, get back to starting, and in 3 years time with more awards and recognition under his belt he can ...

Re: Making Your Own Luck...
Moore and Johnson or Moore and Jackson will go to the 46 man roster so they get paid and don't dress for the game. It is Courtney Taylor that will lose his spot on the 46 man roster and therefore take a pay cut on the practice roster or possibly go to another team. True, but each of these individua...

Re: Solomon Elimimiam and Adam Bighill
On Thursday, however, Ghahremani backtracked slightly and said all options are now open, which could include the Lions signing Elimimian to a contract extension. I don't know what's going to happen, Ghahremani said. We'll see how the rest of the season unfolds. Solomon's mindset now is, he just wan...

Re: Solomon Elimimiam and Adam Bighill
I'll take Sol-E for the rest of the season + playoffs, all day every day. Bighill inside, McKenzie and Sol-E outside. Bam. If Solomon wants to try the NFL again this off-season, have at it player. So, then where would you play the other linebacker (nickelback) Anthony Reddick, you know, the guy who...

Re: Greg Marshall...
On a similar off topic note: I once phoned EI while on claim and told them I had found a job that was a good career move but it paid less than I was making in EI benefits and "I don't know if I should take the job". They said to take the job and they would pay the difference between my wag...

Re: Hameister Ries
Chaps has done a pretty good job for the most part of sticking with the run even when its not working that well. Just 2 or 3 yards on 1st down and then on 2nd down the opposing D can't stop a 7 yard pass very often. So at the very least even a poor run sets up ball control drives.

Re: grey cup train pictures
I'm sorry I had to work too. I've been to the Hall of Fame but the exhibits in the train look much better. The Hall of Fame has been neglected over the years and is a disappointment. The CFL should look in to moving the HoF busts into the train an making it the permanent HoF. Then they could move t...

Re: Greg Marshall...
Yes, these new coaches need time. Miller is supposed to be a good guy but his firing and handling of Marshall was wrong. Cortez is doing the worst and I am sure most of us would have thought he'd be the best of the new rookie HCs. It seems that Mike B is better prepared to be a HC than he was to be...
