Re: RedBlacks @ Lions -- Post Game Stats and Comments

Farhan just said on the post-gram show: "you want to make a statement? Cut Manny Arceneaux. You're not bringing him back next year anyway."

Hmm.

Re: Lions vs. Redblacks Sept. 13 - Game Day thread

No wonder fans don't show up! Would you want to watch awful, non entertaining team inside a stadium or enjoy another gorgeous day in Vancouver? At year's end there may be less than 15,000 at games. You know, I was going to go do yard work after the first quarter but got sucked back into watching. N...

Re: Lions vs. Redblacks Sept. 13 - Game Day thread

So after the first quarter:

0 first downs.
0 rushing yards.
1 total yard. Singular.

Yikes.

Re: All the best to Lowell Ullrich

Hey all, I used to get three newspapers: the Sun, Province & National Post, but cancelled my subscriptions about two years ago. I just got tired of "news" stories that were awfully short on actual news, and media companies recycling articles across multiple papers (you could often see ...

Re: Lions vs Argos - Aug 1st, 1991....

Part 2: Note: you'll hear a whistling sound in the crowd when the Argos have the ball: in his column in the Province newspaper, Jim Taylor suggested Lions' owner Murray Pezim hand out little plastic slide whistles --called 'Flutie Flutes'. I was first in line to get into the stadium that day, so as ...

Lions vs Argos - Aug 1st, 1991....

Hey all, Let's sock it to the Rocket! Do you remember those incredibly exciting days of 1991, when Jon Volpe was carrying the rock, Jay "the Stork" Christensen was going over the middle and the Lions' O-line averaged a whopping 285 pounds? Doug Flutie was thrilling fans all across the coun...

Re: 2015 Canadian Federal Election Thread

Hey all, I thought I'd add my two cents to this thread, but with penny rounding, I'm back to zero. Here's a nickel then. I think we're going to see a couple of things in the upcoming election, but basically the end result is going to be a Conservative majority. A couple of things are going to contri...

Re: 2015 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

We know there's little motivation now beyond filling the lower bowl with the TSN contract in place now and that is all Skulsky is focused on now. For those with long memories and/or knowledge of the league's history, this is somewhat reminiscent of the mid-1980s when the league had a fairly rich (b...

Re: Lions 35 - Riders 32 -- Post Game Stats and Comments

About the objectionable conduct penalty, the rule as written is clear and the penalty call is automatic. The players know that. There are no excuses for taking that penalty. The coach can challenge defensive pass interference. If a player thinks there was interference, he can look to the sideline a...

Re: Will the blackout be lifted tonight?

I am one of those that has been pretty fed up with the crap that comes on cable for the price that they charge. I got rid of my cable subscription last year. I watch most things online now and don't really miss the cable at all. Now that football season is back, I may consider a subscription for a ...

Re: Khalif Mitchell cut

Hey all,

I kinda think he may end up in Ottawa and that will be his absolute last stop in what was once a promising CFL career.
