Hey all, A blackout isn't going to help get young people into the stands. Not to be a debbie-downer, but I didn't even watch the game tonight. I checked the live play by play a couple of times on my phone, saw that it was a dull defensive battle, and decided to give this one a miss. And giving a gam...

I think the WCB could lead to interesting changes in equipment, rules about care due to players during the season, scheduling (ie, must be x number of days between games), etc. I can't see them being a bad influence on the game. Football is dangerous, of course, but it's not dangerous in the way tha...

My ban is only for 1 week and it is for being a troll for pointing out how bad the Riders are. I am guessing what pushed things over the top was my cryptic response to a poster who felt that the recent infractions ($80k in fines and $26k in SMS reductions) are a private matter between the football ...

Hey all, I think the Olympics are horrible, and do my best to ignore them. I know I'm in the minority, but the sheer cost to tax payers of supporting "amateur athletics" is ridiculous. I see a Canadian named Rosie MacLennan won gold in trampoline. I have no doubt that she's a lovely person...

Be outlandish and follow a defunct NFL team, like the St. Louis Gunners or the Rochester Jeffersons. Read up on 'em and become an expert. Whenever anyone makes any comment about any team or player, relate it to a story from one of these teams. Make loud pronouncements that the year your team folded ...

What a game though! I don't mind this loss at all. Given the injuries on D, the Stamps were just, and I mean just able to best the Lions. This will leave a bad taste in the team's mouth and should keep them motivated over the next several weeks. It should be a heck of a game in three weeks when Calg...

I think that's a great idea! A "Football Special". Would only work for weekend games as all of the trains would be waiting downtown to pick up eastbound commuters on weekdays before they could make it in time for the game, however weekends is when demand would make it worthwhile anyway......

That'll cost the Lions a ton of money that they simply don't have. The fireworks bring something like 400,000 people downtown. An extra West Coast Express makes a ton of sense for that. It probably doesn't for a team getting 20k fans to a game. I think we'll have to make do with extra skytrain cars...

Hey all, So the girlfriend just suggested we head downtown to see the fireworks in August. Ugh. That's really not my cup of tea, but the way she pitched it to me was interesting: the West Coast Express has laid on a special train that day, which makes it relatively easy to get there and back. Train ...

Hey all, I'm really looking forward to this game, because I think it will tell us a lot about what sort of team we really have. After the ridiculous number of penalties in Saskatchewan, I'm hoping to see a disciplined, focused effort. And man do I want to see the team run the ball down Calgary's thr...

I guess someone might as well say it: Moore continues to be injury prone and getting yourself out for the season as a result of a TD celebration :wag: :wag: pretty much defines "injury prone". Wally refused to say the celebration was the cause though, when interviewed for 3 down radio. He...

The Lions are really quite a bit better on social media this year than last. Their Facebook & Twitter feeds are churning out constant content, and look professional. Matt Baker (sp?) has written some pieces for the website too that are quite good. But....if the Lions are going to be doing a more...

the eastern teams are a terrible draw here. In in the glory days of mid-80s when the lions drew 50,000 .... they would still draw 28k of OTT and 30k for HAM. The Eastern teams are a terrible draw, but I think that's mostly because the Eastern Division has been mostly terrible since, well....1980. I...

We have multiple infractions on the play. Offence: illegal usage: Waist/Waste. 10 yard penalty. Defence: incorrect usage of an apostrophe: pizza's. 10 yard penalty. Defence: Major foul: making an error when correcting someone else's error. 15 yard penalty. Offence: Illegal usage: Your/You're. 10 yar...

Two wildly entertaining games that the league needs plenty more of. Passing numbers of the 4 QBs tonight: 368, 396, 317 and 378. Take note Khari Jones. Lions haven't thrown for over 300 yards in 1 game since early October of last season. We were out at a casual pub for dinner at the time (not our c...
