Bret Anderson the firefighter who was talked out of retirement by Wally to save our bacon tonight.
He is simply the most talented and most versatile Lion ever to play on our franchise, and a major reason if we should be so lucky as to repeat it will be because all Championship teams have one of this kind of intangible in their organizations.

I think you should remember the versatilty Jim Young brought to the Lions before you suggest Anderson as the best ever.

Not to downplay the skill Anderson has. He's is a remarkable individual and any team would be happy to have him or a clone of his abilities.

But Jim Young was a starter on offense and on defense in his career. Those guys don't grow on trees.

"Dirty Thirty" might well have been the most prolific receiver of Lion history shading Mervin Fernandez himself perhaps in all time receiving as a receiver and granted, most versatile in a dying era where two-way players of the caliber of Garny Henley, and Jackie Parker "didn't grow on trees" either, but when it comes to how many functions this special individual serves in terms of his knowledge of the play book, and all of his playable positions (several) he is unparalleled, in lions history as “Mr. Versatilityâ€

Yeah, that ticked me off... like every other OL in the league are paragons of virtue Is Shultz rooming with Tillman these days or something??

Loved Clermont's catch, thought JJ had a darn good game too.

Shultz was an offensive lineman himself.......and I'll bet a whole lot of money that if I was given tape of his career I'd find a so called 'leg whip' much worse than the slight swing Murphy gave as he was going down.

Nothing worse than a former offensive lineman, who should understand how much stuff really goes on in there in the 'pits', to denigrate one of the best offensive lineman we've seen for a long time in the CFL! I thought it was bush of him to make such a huge issue of it but then again we were playing his old team and also just took the easy route of going with the flow of the false campaign against Murphy!!
