Re: RedBlacks vs. Lions Game Day Thread

Hey all, To answer your question, 'how can you be a Lions fan and wish them to lose,' I'd point to sjroc's comments above (which more or less nails it). The Lions' organization needs change and change will only come when there is the pressure to do so. I tend to disagree with the notion the team sho...

Re: RedBlacks vs. Lions Game Day Thread

Hey all, I've been cheering for the RedBlacks all season, and I really hope they win. They need to have some buildings blocks for next season, and if a win down the stretch against the Lions helps the franchise, so be it. I also like the notion of a loss to Ottawa meaning increased pressure to chang...

Re: Ti-Cats vs. Lions Game Day Thread

According to Karma, the Lions will stop the Ticats on 3rd down, but then we'll have to give up another safety.

I know what you mean. I feel like I was just kissed after being kicked in the stomach for three months. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Re: Ti-Cats vs. Lions Game Day Thread

For the love of God and all things holy can someone please please please please explain to me why the **** when we need 5 yards we throw short for 4. That has to be the 5th time we need x yards throw short and don't make it. It's the ghost of Damon Allen, reminding us Lions' fans how good we've had...

Re: Stampeders 14 - Lions 7 Post Game Stats and Comments

Hey all, I decided to go grocery shopping in the third quarter and on the way home heard Beck was put in. Obviously he didn't light it up, but was there anything positive about his play? I think we should cut Glenn. Ride the two kids for the rest of the year; they, at least, can offer hope for the f...

Re: Argos vs. Lions Game Day Thread

This is why the lions are only averaging 25,000 a game who wants to sit through this Not me. I was offered a free pair of $100+ tickets a few rows behind the Lions' bench and turned them down. The games are not entertaining, they take too long to play, and it's just not worth heading downtown from ...

Re: Lions guarantee win over ‘Riders Sunday

Hey all, Two quick notes on this promotion that haven't been mentioned (and a word of warning for the Lions): 1. I hope in order to get free tickets each individual has to give the Lions their address to aid in further promotions. 2. This will be a huge tax write-off for the team, and probably won't...

Re: Lions guarantee win over ‘Riders Sunday

Hey all, To echo what others have written, I think this guarantee is a shrewd marketing move and the Rider billboard provided a nice pretext for the promotion. Good on the Lions for seizing the opportunity. The big effect has been in the media, obviously, who now have a storyline and further fuel fo...

Re: Kevin Glenn coming to Lions

Hey all,

Regardless of where Travis is at this year, I do hope the Lions announce Glenn will be the starter when the Lions play Ottawa in the nation's capital. It'd make for a great story-line.

Cheers,

Re: PI Replay Review Up For Vote

Hey all, *Looks around* Hey, I remember this place. Where's that soapbox I used to.....ah...got it. The CFL should not, under any circumstances, be the first league in the world of pro-sports to institute a video-review process of non-calls. No, no, no. The knock against the CFL whenever anything do...

Cost of Season Tickets...

Hey all, I'm clearing my filing cabinet, and I found a newspaper clipping that had an ad for 2007 season tickets. Occasionally I've wondered how costs have gone up over a given period, I thought it might be interesting to at least keep a record of what the Leos are charging for seats. So... As per t...
