Re: R.I.P. John Madden

And sadly now John Madden's Oakland Raiders are gone as well.

Re: XFL + USFL = UFL

The sooner this travesty of a "football" league folds the better.

Re: Cleveland Indians are dropping their Chief Wahoo logo in 2019

The fans need time to "transition"? They are so sensitive. 500 years ago, Columbus sailed nearby North America and met a few brown skinned people whom he erroneously labelled as Indians, an error we still haven't bothered to correct. He then kidnaps them, sells them into slavery, and is s...

Re: Throwback Thursday

This image shows the various uniforms throughout the years (notice how close to the '64 Lions the current roads look). https://gdurl.com/iNZb Can you repost the images? Unlike the Vancouver Canucks (1970) who skated onto the ice on October 9, 1970 in gorgeous pacific blue and kelly green uniforms w...

R.I.P. Gerry James (22 October 1934 - 13 February 2024)

Gerry "Kid Dynamite" James passed away a few days ago on the very same day as former teammate Kenny Ploen. James was born in Regina, Saskatchewan but attended Kelvin High School in Winnipeg. But in 1952 at the tender age of seventeen(!) he joined the Winnipeg Blue Bombers professional foot...

R.I.P. Kenny Ploen (3 June 1935 - 13 February 2024)

Legendary QB Kenny Ploen passed away earlier this week after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. He was born in Lost Nation, Iowa and attended high school in Clinton, Iowa. In 1956 he led the University of Iowa Hawkeyes to their first Big Ten Conference championship in 35 years. He was then named an A...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game

I'm more interested in which player will start for the Lions at RB - Taquan Mizzell or Shaun Shivers.

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

The problem is that some imbecile at "Genius" Sports thinks that a dash is equivalent to a 0 in the Points Allowed column but of course they're not the same. And nobody at "Genius" Sports cares enough about their contract to run CFL Fantasy to actually play CFL Fantasy. It is to ...

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

I've already sent "Genius" Sports an email lambasting them for not just failing to award the Lions' Defence with the additional ten points but for their overall sloppiness. Some of you fellows should do the same. Moreover in the Scoring section I don't actually see any provision for a Defe...

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

So the idiots at "Genius" Sports have still not given the B.C. Lions Defence ten points for shutting out the Elks. I'm sick to death of their mistakes and sloppiness.

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

Speaking of the CFL Game Zone, I've very much enjoyed Blitz Picks since it was launched in the second half of the season last year. And with the increase in the number of questions from eight to ten this year, it's even more fun!

Re: 2023 UPROAR Dance Team - 40/1

Why was a man needed on the dance team anyway? Will he be picking up the women and flinging them skyward to demonstrate feline grace in landing on their feet?

Re: Genius? - Apparently not

Get this. With Genius Sports running Fantasy, the word "Tiger-Cats" in a League name is invalid meaning no league can have Tiger-Cats in its name. Apparently "Genius" Sports overlooked the detail that the CFL team in Hamilton was the Tiger-Cats when a decision was made not to all...

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

I absolutely hate and despise the double points for your Captain feature. That means one pick will be the difference between a fabulous week and an absolutely pathetic week. One pick! That introduces a very strong additional random element to scoring. It's a feature that hurts the hardcore stat junk...

Re: TSN CFL Fantasy!

I'll spare you any rants with respect to the changes that have been made in CFL Fantasy for 2023. I'll just say that I wish they'd left well enough alone since I was quite comfortable playing Fantasy the way it was. Moreover I've had to re-create the Leagues that may have been of interest to Lion fa...
