Only one Argo among those picks. Very unbiased of you, Steiner. :wink:

I'm not voting. I don't want to look past Hamilton. We saw last year that Danny Mac is still capable of a big game.

There's nothing wrong with asking. It's a normal part of negotiating, which should be done behind closed doors, not in public where it has the effect of embarrassing the employer.

Wright talks out both sides of his mouth. He says the BOG shouldn't breach confidences and discuss his contract negotiations in public, then he goes ahead and does it himself, listing his demands for new working conditions. The guy is making $400,000 a year. When Casey Printers or Jason Medlock yap ...

I voted No because he's done a great job with the business side, but I think Wright needs to keep his mouth shut about his disagreements with the BOG and the lack of respect he feels. He seems to be the one who's making his contract status a public issue.

I watched him get instructions from Wally before the kick. Wally gave him the option to use his judgment about returning it. He just used very bad judgment. He'll probably never make that mistake again. I wouldn't cut him over that alone but because he hasn't done anything positive on offence or spe...

I've always liked ex-Lion Jason Kralt. He's a hard worker, good special-teamer and solid tackler. He started at MLB for the Lions in the 2000 playoffs but broke his leg in the WSF, and could only watch the Grey Cup on crutches. It's good to see him finally get a chance to start again in Ottawa.

I'm sure he's just doing what he's told but the announcing of the starting lineups and on-field activities can be done more professionally by someone in a booth. The rallying of the crowd can be done more effectively (and less cheesily) through a simple scoreboard announcement such as "Make som...

What I wonder is why nobody ever plugs this site on the air? There are probably alot of casual Lions fans that log on to BClions.com and get totally turned off by the lack of anything useful on that site. Im sure there are many opinionated callers who just have never stumbled apon this site, theref...

Community ownership failed in the '80s when the cash ran out and community support waned. It's constantly teetering in Saskatchewan, where the whole province chips in to keep the team afloat. David Braley dug into his own pocket to save the Lions and build a first-rate organization before he ever ma...

No question about who's No. 1 but you have to give all four owners credit for stepping up and putting their money on the line when prospects looked bleak. For all of his management flaws, Pezim was a heck of a promoter and created more buzz in the community and the stadium than at any time in the su...

Even left my brother's wedding reception to watch the Lions play ! How's that for dedication ?? Well done. When my daughter decided to plan for a September wedding last year I handed her a Lions schedule and told her those were the dates she couldn't get married. She was fine with that. She's a sea...

There was something special about the team's first Grey Cup run in 1963. I hadn't followed football before that year, but happened to have enrolled that fall in a local school where football was a religion and was played on the playground every day before and after school and at lunch. It was the pu...
