Re: Lions vs. Redblacks Sept. 30, 2022

Hey all, In all honesty, I forgot there was a game tonight. I just can't get excited about a team with Vernon Adams at QB. I was really excited to see O'Connor play, and would happily watch the team struggle if he was getting some time behind centre. Anyone know when he's back? But the reason for my...

Tudor Electric Football...

Hey all,

I sometimes buy from 'The Mad Picker' in Aldergrove, and saw this Tudor Electric Football game. I thought some of your might be interested.

Mike Reilly

Hey all, Like most of you, I was very excited about the signing of Mike Reilly, and I assumed he was either the final piece in the puzzle (which would lead to a season of smack-talking everyone else in the West) and at least one (and by "one" I mean two...minimum) Grey Cups over the next t...

Re: James "Quick" Parker. RIP.

It would be really lovely if the Lions D Line could get permission from the league to have a feather decal on their helmets next season in tribute.

Cheers,

James

Re: 2017 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

What this GenXer finds especially frustrating are the old farts at Costco who congregate around the sample tables and gab ad nauseam with the buddies they just happened to bump into, resulting in massive clogs at the end of all the rows. This. Because nobody has ever tried salsa before, or chips, a...

Re: 2017 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Hey all, So I got free tickets to the game on Friday through work, and headed down to the stadium after a meeting with dinner & drinks at the Yaletown Brew Pub. At the current rate, I go to about one game ever year or two, and thought I'd offer a few observations. The atmosphere outside the stad...

Re: 2017 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Hey all, Over the last several years I've become less enthusiastic about the Lions, sort of half-paying attention to what the team is doing. A lot of things have contributed to my declining interest, but the two primary factors are I got rid of cable several years ago and don't have the patience to ...

Stephen Brunt 100 Grey Cups...

Hey all,

Just thought I'd mention that Chapters has Stephen Brunt's book "100 Grey Cups" marked down to 15.00 from 45. Thought some of you might want to pick one up.

Re: WFC Final Lions vs. Stampeders Game Day Thread

Dickenson with a great play call. Ran it down our throat on that drive and then calls a play action for the TD that fooled the Lions Yeah. Dickenson has been brilliant all year as a head coach. I wish we had offered him so much money to be our HC two years ago that he couldn't possibly have said sa...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions

Hey all, So I've recently begun a new job in Vancouver and have to commute every day from Port Coquitlam. Whining about traffic is an over-indulged Vancouver past time, but twice this week my drive in was in excess of two hours because of accidents on the No.1 Hwy (--on a good day it's 45 mins). Wit...

Re: Watching games online.

There are a couple of guys who post full games to Youtube a day or two after they're played. They even clip the ads out. That's probably your best ticket.

Hey all, I was just on Canada Post's website, and they have an 18"x21" framed oversized Geroy Simon/Lui Passaglia print (the same image was used for a stamp at the time of the 100th Grey Cup). It's 50% off, so $34 and change --thought some of you might be interested. https://www.canadapost...

Re: Leos/Argos Post Game Thoughts

Hey all,

If I've done my math right, tonight's win was Wally's 400th game win as a player, assistant co-ordinator and head coach (not including pre-season).
