Re: CFL New Logo

Hey all, Well, I don't think the new logo is anything to write home about, but...we weren't given the rationale for changing it. I suspect this wasn't change for change's sake and that a lot of little things played into the design. The new logo, frankly, will work beautifully as an avatar on Twitter...

Re: 2015 TV viewership

Hey all, I think the CFL is a victim of cord-cutting as much as anything else. There was an article in the Huffington Post the other day that Canadians are getting rid of cable at seven times the rate they were at this point last year. Rogers lost 6.1% of its subscribers, and 153,ooo people dropped ...

Re: 2015 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

The cheapest priced ticket for the Eastern Final is $27.oo. There is a $3.oo "capitol replacement fund" and a $6.oo "per ticket fee", but you can still get into the first Eastern Final Ottawa has hosted since....(1978?) for $36.oo. That's eight bucks less than tonight's exhibitio...

Re: 2015 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Hey all, Not that a home playoff game is in the cards for the Lions this year, but I note on Twitter that the Eskimos have a "flash sale" for $20 lower bowl playoff tickets. Which is ah....$5 less than the $25 the Lions are boasting about tickets "starting from" on their splash p...

Re: B.C. Lions at Calgary Sept. 18 - Game Day thread

Wow. Wow. What a return guy .... Maybe we were wrong about criticizing the Brown/Logan cuts, eh? James Maybe. I don't know if I was on that particular bandwagon. I don't think so. I wasn't calling out you specifically. I know I have been questioning the moves all season. Until, you know, tonight pr...

Re: B.C. Lions at Calgary Sept. 18 - Game Day thread

Suddenly we see a spark from several players who had seemingly checked out. I am saying the locker room has wanted Jennings over Beck and now they will play Jennings despite Teddy. I think you're onto something. I see more fight all around in those two series. Jennings may just be the guy for the r...

I hate to see Beck injured, but whatever the Lions' future is starts with the next series.

Re: B.C. Lions at Calgary Sept. 18 - Game Day thread

The D line, especially the interior, is really slow off the snap.
