Re: Report: Riders close to dealing Joseph

I was never a Joseph fan, I think he just peaked at the right time. If they got good trade value now then I think they lucked out , his value was only going to fall.This is sure a surprise though, he seemed to be such a key component of the team and a fan favorite. Does TO ever develop a QB of their...

Re: Training Camp Needs for the Lions: CFL Draft, US Recruiting

I would like to add a kicker/ punter to the previous lists. Our kicker is getting up there and lets face it kicking is a huge part of the game. Lately it seems to be taking a lot longer to develop or find one.

Re: Retro Uniforms for this year?

How many jerseys do we need? I've be a fan since 64 and liked the jerseys then, but things evolved over the years. Lets pick one and stick with it, like a class team! How many different jerseys do the NY Yankees sport, or the Montreal Canadiens? Sometimes its cooler to keep your trademark and not ke...

Re: Lions Quiet but Still Dangerous

I think the Lions are taking the right approach . Last year it came down to coming second in one game. Unfortunately unlike hockey, if you blow one you are toast ,no matter how good you were all season, or if even on the books you should have won. Lets not forget it was a record season for wins rega...

I have to agree with you Rammer. Would be interesting to see if KA could be consistent or merely a flash in the pan.

Re: Austin is Coach of The Year

Perhaps you are right and its not for the Best coach. I agree Austin had a dramatic effect and I'm not knocking the choice as I said in my previous post. The award though is for the coach,who most displays excellent leadership, discipline and dedication to excellence in the regular season. I think t...

Re: Austin is Coach of The Year

Too bad for Wally, he's a class act and in my eyes was and is the best coach in the CFL. I guess though Austin was also deserving so I can't knock the choice.

Re: Even Buono Struggles with the CFL's Salary Management System

Cutting salaries to stay within the SMS ? Wow kind of blows a hole in the conspiracy theroy constantly being bandied about on some of our competitors fan sites. I am really interested to see what the audit turns up and what action is taken for those who were over last year.

Re: Riders Get Steven Morley from the Argos

Not to take anything away from the Riders GC win, but I think their chances of a repeat with the team they had last year were slim to nil. I'm sure that they realize that and are making changes not only for SMS reasons but also to improve. Will be interesting to see if this trade works out.

Re: Thoughts on Ex-Lions winning the Grey Cup

I could see feeling good for a long serving Lion who won the cup with another team. If he had been a good team player active in the community , at the end of his career (last hurrah) and never had a chance to play for a contender. That however rules out all the current Lions so the question is reall...

Re: Kickoff Kicker

I think more than just the distance the ball travels it comes down to where the opposition ends up scrimmaging the ball after the kickoff. Accuracy and not out kicking coverage are other key factors. Having said that, we do tend to give pretty good field position but is it the depth of the kick ,or ...
