Re: CFL Week 6 Preview, Odds and Post Game Comments

Has anyone heard who will start at QB for Winnipeg. If it were up to me I would dress Pierce if healthy, but start Brink who imo is better than some starting QBs in the western division. I think Buck is out until Sept. The Bombers are Brink's team...until he has another bad quarter or two, then we'...

Re: Lions 34 - Stampeders 8, Post Game Stats and Comments

Cornish was a dominating RB last year, almost unstoppable. He seems a shadow of his former self this season. I was frankly flabbergasted at his comments, he really threw his OL under the bus. How could any RB be "satisfied with my own performance" after gaining -1 yard in the game...perhap...

Re: Game Day Traditions

I'd say The Wave is the Lions best tradition, although it has died out a bit over the past 30 years or so. At Empire Stadium it was electric when the end-zones were full and section by section the wave went around and around the stadium...inspired by Crazy George and also the BEE - CEE chant from ea...

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

Kahlif just pushed the guy and he goes flying, looked like he took a bit of a dive. Kahlif does has to play it smarter as the refs will be looking for him. Another $20 for the Xmas Fund. Reddick's bump into Glenn was just incidental contact. Reddick wasn't even looking in Glenn's direction when they...

Re: Lions 34 - Stampeders 8, Post Game Stats and Comments

I thought these were some rather surprising quotes from Jon Cornish after last night's game: "It's particularly annoying from a running back position to get the ball and get smacked in the face," Cornish said. "That's how it goes. "Is it not readily apparent? It's not hard to see...

Lulay needs to throw the ball quicker. There just is no time for slow developing pass plays.

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

As a former DL, Doug Brown pretty much nails it. Kahlif over-reacted to the clutching and grabbing...and the continuing non-holding calls against the OL's. What he did was obvious. But what goes on under the piles and out of camera range is ignored. I wouldn't castigate Mitchell too harshly for one ...

Re: Ticket Prices / Lions' Marketing

If I were running the club, this is what I'd do: Reduce the Touchdown End Zone ($35) and Touchdown Corner ($45) seats to $27.50 and $35.50 respectively - that's about a 20% drop. Lower Bowl seats between the 20s are full as are the Club seats, which tells me there's demand for those seats at the pr...

To your second point, yes I want to see that happen. I want to see Benny to tell Khalif that "The Commissioner dinged you for two games, I'm going to sit you for two more because that *poop* does not fly on my team". Buono didn't suspend Jason Jimenez for rolling onto the leg of the Calga...

Re: NBC SPORTS NETWORK TO BROADCAST GREY CUP

Good news for our U.S. fans! I suspect the Sunday playoff games may be tape delayed so they don't conflict with the NFL games?

Re: Eskimos 27 - Lions 14, Post Game Stats and Comments

Close but no cigar. I was surprised they didn't put Reilly in for the second half. I think Travis needs to watch the game from the sidelines for awhile to regain his bearings. Can't say I'm a big fan of the defence this year. They can't seem to stop anybody when they need to.
