Re: Outdoor Attendance a Concern?
People heading to BC Place have established routines and more travel options than to the PNE for many. They are used to it. Car - then Skytrain. That is why they built it downtown in the first place unlike many US cities where you head out of the town in the car. BC Place and the area around it on g...

Re: Danny Maciocia Fired
If they were smart they would next be announcing Eric Tillman as their new GM. The man deserves redemption and has proven to be able to build a winner. I think Tillman will need to redeem himself elsewhere first, before he gets hired by a community owned team. We shall see. I recall John Turner pat...

Re: Should Lions' President/Owner Issue Public Ultimatum Too
If there was any who think yes, you only have to look at the debacle in Edmonton to see how stupid this is to do. They fired even though the team played well. If he has no one in wings to take over immediately then this was not the right thing to do. May as well get some value for the money you owe ...

Re: Martell Mallet waived by Eagles
I was surprised he was signed in the NFL with his upright running style, he would get killed down there. Mallett was released by the Lions, so unless he has another secret deal with Buono, he's a free agent and can sign with any team. Wally bad-mouthed Mallett recently saying he was one-dimensional...

Re: Outdoor Attendance a Concern?
Well the Lions will have solved one problem with their team as it is now. Demand for tickets won't outstrip the stadium's capacity for holding the crowd. The outdoor thing and return to Empire sounds all fine and dandy but for many of us who go to games part of the attraction to BC Place is the abil...

Firing the GM with no replacement in mind is as stupid as their President is for handling this in this manner and creating a lot more trouble than h...

Re: Should Lions' President/Owner Issue Public Ultimatum Too
No and he would never do that anyway.
Nothing to be gained by doing that.
The Esks President is a clown for his tirade and David Braley is too smart for that. He knows that it might work one work but what do you the week after that.

Re: Game Day Thread - Lions @ Eskimos July 30, 2010
You knew the Esks would be tough. Lulay still with raw rookie bad decisions which is not a good sign at all. In FG range, INTs off bad decisions. He has been here long enough to know he must protect the football. Where oh where is Jarius.. To me he doesnt' need to throw 65 yards, he just needs to pr...

Re: Game Day Thread - Lions @ Eskimos July 30, 2010
I thought the booing was for their team. As much as I appreciate this guy doing the CFL game for us out of Canada why are we watching the half on US college football? The Chappy not liking success with the run reminds me of an old Ronnie Lancaster story when he was still a young QB playing for the g...

That was a good comment about the loud talking cigar smoking Paris Jackson where Sara O says Buono told him how he can't be talking as he is doing nothing.

Re: Game Day Thread - Lions @ Eskimos July 30, 2010
Surprised that they can't intercept a ball right into the hands. These guys need to do more practice catching and INTing in traffic.

Re: Uh Oh! Esks Win or Else
There is a tipping point in sports teams where a team does come out firing and can beat even a first place team but the Esks problems may be running too deep for too long to sustain it. However it could bite the Lions this game. I am not sure if the Esks are past the tipping point and no matter how ...

Re: Casey Printers has a torn ACL
The wear and tear of being battered leads up to these more serious injuries and this is a bit of a fault with the Lions system and the belief in their QBs as Pierce and Dickenson have said that you can never give up to a backup due to injury or its goners for you. I have had a very fit player jump f...
