Nice work on the interview Matt. The one interesting thing I read in that is what should amount to a shot across the bow at the Wally detractors. He's been accused of wanting to maintain a death grip on control of everything. Yet who was the person who initiated the hiring of a new GM? Wally. Who w...

Spoke with Rick yesterday afternoon and have published a Q&A with him for bclions.com, link at the bottom. Cole's Notes: - It all happened fast. Says he was talking to Wally about the Hervey hiring a couple weeks ago and jokingly mentioned to Wally he'd be interested in being the president. It w...

What a day!

Some more on Hervey from bclions.com.

I'll go Edmonton over Toronto in the Grey Cup. Every year people get high on the crossover team, but I think Saskatchewan is a year away from being a serious contender. Could see them getting past Ottawa, but I like the makeup of the Argos these days. In the West, even a healthy Bombers team doesn't...

Not to burst your bubble, but I recall the news coming out the night before that Dickenson was starting. Then I guess the news didn't make it to the Spirit of Edmonton. Damned Communications Department falling down on the job again. :wink: LOL no doubt! haha.. I recall seeing it on the Headline Spo...

Under the norms of succession planning one would think if Buono stepped aside then it would almost be a no-brainer to promote McEvoy to GM with Simon moving up into McEvoy's role. If whomever is making that decision chose to overlook McEvoy then it would be best for him to leave be it voluntarily o...

Also, what exactly happened in 2005? as MikeAK said, that's when they started to jack up prices across the board. with ackles at the helm. IMO they got too greedy too quickly. 50k+ paid $45 each, flat rate for every seat every section, for the heavily hyped 2004 caseymania nhl lockout playoff game,...

Braley was also accused of "dithering" the Argos sale to supposedly extract the maximum sale price, but he said after the deal concluded that Rogers was very tough to deal with, which held up negotiations. Rogers evicted the Argos from Skydome on the premise they were planting grass (a ri...

While the Lions have an all star calibre receiving corps, unless one of the worst O lines in the CFL play above their heads, it will be another loss and last place for BC. While I am glad to see them bench one of their substandard INT tackles, the Lions still have their best tackle playing guard an...

It was awesome to meet a couple of you on operation orange and sorry for not being able to put names to faces on here! This is my second season traveling to every road game with the team and I think TD Place is the coolest vibe. A lot of it has to do with how revitalized the Landsdowne area has beco...

this rogers radio thing is starting to look more and more like part of a purrfect storm that, along with many other issues currently in the bigger picture could help conspire to paint the lions into the irrelevant corner. 650 has gone for young and diverse in their talent hires, and in that cbc art...

Some more pregame reading, including some quotes from my chat with the big man, Jovan Olafioye.

Whether you guys like it or not, Canucks talk is what gets the metre moving in this town. Losing the rights doesn't change that. If anything they will now be able to control the conversation even MORE with the leeway to be more critical, etc. I wish it were different and I understand the frustration...

A little game day preview reading for your pleasure. Or lack thereof, LOL.

As per the comments on how much respect our league gets south of the border: I have really noticed it first hand with the two US free agent camps the club has sent us to cover, most recently in Dallas this past April. Along with the talent on display, the stadium was full with curious onlookers, a ...
