Re: 2011 Grey Cup Halftime Show....

I watched the Grey Cup game with a bunch of teenagers (I turned 40 earlier this year) and after Bachman and Turner were done I asked them what they thought and all but one teenager responded that they didn't know that there was great music like that. The one guy who didn't like it only listens to hi...

Re: Calgary or Sask. in the West Final

I'm cheering for Calgary. With Hamilton out of the playoffs I'd like to see another Calgary-Montreal Grey Cup. Somehow you just never what is going to happen when those two teams are going at it.

Re: BC Lions Energy Drink....who knew??

I'm just wondering if the Lions have been drinking it all season. If so I don't think I want to touch it. :wink:

Re: Once again the CFL gets it right with TV coverage

Black- outs aren't a worry in Kamloops,especially the rural parts. But I hope they don't do the TSN 2 thing. I've never liked a monopoly. All games on TSN with a replay 3hrs later on TSN2..... I'd say that is damn wicked! I'd rather it was 4 hours after game time so I have a chance to get home from...

When I heard about the ruling I started thinking. The biggest factor in getting the airplane off the ground is mass. What would happen if the airlines charged per kilogram. You and all your luggage get placed on the scale and then the appropriate price is charged.

Any thoughts.

To me the whole issue of an outdoor stadium being better than an indoor stadium is usually raised be those who want to wax setimental and/or prefer watching sports on TV. I have watched sports both indoors and out and when it comes to the fall/winter weather in the south-western corner of B.C. I say...

I'm sure he has a decent chance of being inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame someday.

Hopefully the goof will also be permanently banned from BC Place. He got off rather lightly. I read somewhere (a newspaper article Sun or Province, I think) the guy needs to be the centre of attention. Not trying to give him an excuse, he needs to be held accountable. His friends goaded him into do...

My decision to renew season tickets is not based on whether or not my favourite team plays well or goes all the way to win the Grey Cup it is based on my love and enjoyment of the sport. I will be renewing. The only time was ...

Well it seems to me that those who claim they have proof that the Lions use noise through the PA and using Cretien's claim that "a proof is a proof and it is a good proof because it is prooven."
