Re: Joey Elliott Cut

When Wally wants to make a personnel move, he doesn't mess around with idle talk. I don't know who's on the neg list but I feel sorry for Elliott. He seemed to have skill and experience but he obviously wasn't in the team's plans. The timing probably has more to do with Hart coming off the 9-game in...

Re: Calvillo gets 9-gamed by Als

This move is just a technicality. If he doesn't recover, they don't have to count his salary. If he does, they can bring him back at any time.

Re: Lions Are Harder to Read Than Tolstoy

The Lions still control their own destiny. Their three remaining games against Saskatchewan and two against Calgary will determine playoff seedings. Both rivals are looking vulnerable. I've said all along that the Lions' passing game will get better in the second half of the season. This is their bi...

Re: Will the B.C. Lions’ award streak end this year?

Elimimian is deserving of DPOY but he'll have missed nearly three full games by the end of this week so his stats won't compare with others. If it's any consolation, he'll probably be voted again by his peers as the league's hardest hitter.

Re: Kavis Reed's Emotional Comments, and Ed Hervey Speaks

Kavis Reed all of a sudden looks like the calm, rational voice in that organization. Hervey and Reed had a chance to use the fourth-quarter resurgence on Labour Day as a sign of the team's heart and character and to build momentum for the rematch. Instead they've put on a gong show that threatens to...

Re: Kavis Reed's Emotional Pre and Post Game Comments

Does Reed feel the same way Hervey does? He certainly is emotional and tends to explode and act irrationally at times but he was more circumspect in his weekly radio show Tuesday when discussing Rottier: “Simeon is a young man that takes a lot of pride in what he does, but he hasn’t been performing ...

Re: Lions Are Harder to Read Than Tolstoy

The Lions probably blitzed against Hamilton more than against any other opponent. Banks, Shell, Bighill and LaRose were all in the offensive backfield at various times. Burris was confused and hurried and didn't get a first down until 19 minutes in. He said afterwards that it took a while to figure ...

Re: One Division

No. Crossover playoff games have no tradition and no fan appeal. How many B.C. fans went to Montreal and Toronto for ESF games when the Lions were involved? How many would show up for a home playoff game against Hamilton, Montreal or Toronto in a one-division league? A playoff matchup with Saskatche...

Re: Kavis Reed's Emotional Pre and Post Game Comments

It's hard for an organization to be more dysfunctional than the Bombers but the Esks have achieved their 1-8 record with much more on-field talent. Their main problem is management and coaching.

Re: Eagles release Danny Watkins

There are reports that Watkins is close to signing in Miami. Wally isn't expecting to see him before next year at the earliest, according to LU.

Re: CFL Unwise Comment of the Week - Week 10

Burke has hung on far too long for anyone's good. He takes no responsibility for anything or anyone and is just happy to cash a paycheque. He was a far better DC than the guy he has working for him but he does little to help and instead criticizes the players every time they're exposed.

Re: Kavis Reed's Emotional Post Game Comments

http://video.tsn.ca/?dl=cfl-latest/latest/1/0/995191/clip/727 Toppy mentioned this rant on the CFL Week thread. Seems like Kavis still thinks he is a good orator. I agree with Toppy in that Hufnagel keeps it short and sweet. Two or three ideas, max. I've done a few hundred pre game speeches in vari...

Going into this week, the Riders as a team had gone 8 games without an interception, tying a record set by the Argos earlier ths year (the Argos’ dated back to 2012). The CFL hasn't traditionally kept records for individual QBs but league statisticians often go back and check the database whenever s...

Re: Court Ruling, Chris Williams now considered a CFL free a

Given the NFL's history of NOT tripping over their feet to sign CFL stars it seems kinda odd that Williams was so eager to get out of his contract instead of playing out his option and trying out for the NFL for 2014 unless he has some secret deal in his pocket or more likely a verbal commitment or...

Re: Lions 29 - TiCats 26 Post Game Stats and Comments

The Lions also were 3 for 3 in the red zone, improving to 17 touchdowns on 28 opportunities this year (60.7%), which would be tops among western teams pending the rest of this week's games.
