Enjoyed watching former Stamp Alex Singleton get a quick-six -- his long hair flying, and him all smiles (as per usual) in the Eagles upset win over the 49ers.

Enjoyed this little read/update on former Lion Ty Long (now with the Chargers of course). One of the leaders-- a team captains now, with some important thoughts/actions on social issues. Good for him. https://3downnation.com/2020/10/02/former-b-c-lions-kicker-ty-long-has-become-a-key-locker-room-lea...

Any rumblings yet on CFL players who might opt out of their contracts when that door opens on Monday? https://www.tsn.ca/report-cfl-players-can-opt-of-contracts-starting-monday-1.1512818 I just noticed that there's about half a dozen (and counting, no doubt -- not sure when the deadline is for play...

Well, I'm gonna have to take a "too many men" penalty and insist that Jason Clermont joins the Lions' All-time squad as one of their illustrious receivers -- initially I thought just replace the Manny Show with Jason, but upon closer investigation I note Manny played two more seasons and racked up a...

Was just reading through the list of prerequisites in this CFL/CFLPA communique regards there being any kind of "hub city" play in 2020, and I continue to find it unlikely there will be a football season this year. Some of the CFL-proposed timing seems unreasonable (as pointed out by the CFLPA) and ...

According to this report Winnipeg will be the hub city, if there's games in 2020. https://3downnation.com/2020/07/02/winn ... 20-report/

Not a weighty read at all, but it's kinda nice to hear a few sympathetic and mildly confident words (re CFL long-term) from Coach Campbell. For what it's worth: https://3downnation.com/2020/06/26/b-c-lions-coach-rick-campbell-the-cfl-has-a-track-record-of-finding-its-way-through-these-hard-times/ Al...

I'm sorry to hear of this development. Cuthbert was a consummate professional so far as I'm concerned, and I was always relieved to discover he'd be handling the play-by-play of any given game I might be intending to watch and enjoy. He seemed interested, and knew about the players. I personally pre...

It's hard to beat that early-to-mid '60s paw, speaking personally, since that's the era when a certain 10-year-old kid first fell hard for his BC Lions. That said, I'm a huge fan of the current helmet as well. And I do like it just as much as the paw. Cromartie makes purrfect sense to me; "it feels ...

Thank you kindly, D., for your update note and all the work you've done and continue to do to provide us Lionbackers with a top-notch forum. My appreciation for the site skyrocketed during the past several days while it was inaccessible. I really consider myself a lucky fellow to have access to such...

Interesting to consider this, David, and I'll pick (three) as you request, however, honestly I can claim only two to be true favourites: G - the current uniform is my #1 despite the orange pants as the rest of the gear looks so sharp IMO, plus the "aways" are top-notch. A - the mid-to-late 1960s uni...

Quite enjoyed this Sunday morning read from JC Abbott, nicely sizing up and breaking down the Lions' draft. Almost enough to get me excited about the future of our Leos and their #1 pick despite my reservations about the CFL being back in gear even by next season. I've not lost all hope though, and ...

Well, I understand the sad sigh, David, however it may very well be for the best in every regard and for all concerned. Who knows the details/reasons behind the decision. But given Travis's character and intelligence the young man will solidly land on his feet, whatever unfolds, with whatever future...
