At least to me, it's been pretty evident for a while now that BC is a sinking ship - - so after seeing the colossal 4thQ meltdown against the worst team in the league followed by the post game debacles, and then finally the release of the starting QB, is anyone else ready to acknowledge that Buono has completely lost any control he might have had over the team?

Making Printers the scapegoat is another embarassing move by Buono. It's unacceptable to call out your teammates disasterous performance, but there's no problems with a player physically attacking a teammate? There was a lot worse than just yelling and shouting going on in the room, but it's Printers who takes the fall?

Then you have a wash up like Angus Reid calling out Printers in the media the minute he's gone. Much like he was the first one looking for a microphone to call out Ricky Foley after he wisely walked away from this mess. It's pathetic to see Reid being such a lapdog for Buono. Even though he's pretty much useless now, he still wants to squeeze out as many paycheques as he can, but come on - - is it really worth grovelling to the media like that? Maybe if the lead turnstile of the OLine had at least done even just a mediocre job of blocking, Printers would still be in BC and the team would have more than five measely wins this year.

Saddest part is, it's the rookies that have gone wild. Can't imagine how painfully discouraging it must be for vets like Hunt & Geroy to have to watch the team spin out of control from the head coach. You'd think Buono would have the easiest time keeping the first year players under control.

Rookie jumps into an airplane after a TD and takes a dumb penalty.

Rookie punches a veteran in the face inside the room.

Rookie punches an opponent in the bag after the whistle.

This is way beyond Printers. Just another smokescreen distraction for Buono to buy himself more time.

What a disaster for Lion fans.

Yawn.....

I am trying to decide Boston Pizza or White Spot for lunch tomorrow.

Any suggestions?

You might want to try a taste of reality.

Not much help there 51.

I kind of like the burgers at White Spot but the Spicy Perogy Pizza at BP is tough to beat.

You can never go wrong with BP.

Yea good call Cromartie. And the talent level at BP is slightly higher then a white spot usually as well.

HA! The Foley relative lecturing us on conduct, morality, and ethics.

That's a bit rich.

To more important posts.....I vote for the White Spot "Triple O," Yank.

Not always easy to accept reality - - but the reality in BC is that Buono has lost control of the team and BC will not have another winning season as long as he's in charge. Sorry about your luck - - hopefully things will go better for you ordering lunch.

There does appear to be a double standard with the Lions. As to lunch I recommend the White Spot legendary burger and a bowl of clam chowder. Yum

Well, I personally liked the chicken parmasagna at my local BP.

As for HC Buono..well he rolled the dice by making Lulay the starter for the first Wpg game in BC and it paid off, and we were winning the 2nd game until Lulay injured his finger and Casey Printers game into the game, so if anything Wally B doubled down on Lulay and has picked up the dice again for the final 5 games.

An event like releasing Printers can either solidify a team, or tear it down via distraction.

When I was little, White Spot used to give away this neat cardboard pirate ship with the kids meal or whatever it was called. It had a chocolate dollar, and a Playmobile pirate with accessories

Area51 likes guys who wear white spandex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

And..Triple O, Yank.

I vote Grill&Greens at White Spot with some decadent 7 layer chocolate cake for dessert. But that's just me.

I tried the Peppercorn Beef burger the other day. Not impressed but it didn't help that it was overcooked (funny how I can always cook burgers properly on my stovetop or grill and never get salmonella but restaurants are deadly afraid of getting sued).

Don't forget the Nat Baily Rhino Pale Ale!

By the reaction to your post it might be wise for you to do the same.
