Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

[Two separate issues like that have to be at least a concern. Mitchell appealing the suspension suggests he feels he has done no wrong. That just bad for the league. Or maybe he just thinks that 2 games is too big of a penalty? Considering Cohon has only ever suspended 3 players, the rest have had ...

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

Mitchell and the CFLPA are appealing the suspension and the hearing will not be held until Aug 6th, so he will be at the next 2 games. Personally I hope it is reduced.

What I can not understand is why the appeal will take so long to be heard.

Re: Random thoughts about 2012...

I like the idea of free transit for Lions fans. For the upcoming Argos exhibition game they've distributed 30,000 free tickets to kids and have a sponsor (Toronto Sun) paying for free transit to the game on Tuesday. I think the Esks also offer free transit for ticket holders. The Esks do have free ...

Re: Open House for Season Ticket Holders....

I was down on Sunday as well with my kids. They had a blast, got their pictures with the Grey Cup, we did wait in line for autographs from Travis and Akeem. They thought the locker room was the best part, well that and the suites, although they seemed rather disapointed that they would not be attend...

Re: Nike Concept Uniforms for CFL

My wife likes the orange one, my two kids like the flat black helemt, as my ten year old said, "it looks mean." I agree with him.

The concept uniforms are so so, I like the orange jersey with a black helmet myself.

Re: 2012 CFL Schedule....

Afternoon games also bring out more kids, at least mine will be at them. I do wish they were spaced out a little more though.

Re: Lions 33 - Stampeders 31 Post Game Stats and Comments

Missed the cable cam. That camera got some great shots. bring it back, please. Also, show more replays. I've whined about this for a few seasons now (before BC Place closed and all the games at Empire). The first game back at BC Place was great, IMO, showed almost everything. I'm one of those nuts ...

Re: Riders exceed salary cap yet again

At first this annoyed me, but really this is a sound business decision. One the Lions need to think about using if we need to. As long as you are under $100,000 the penalty is not that big, especially if it means a home playoff game and the revenue generated. Until the penalty is more severe the Rid...

Re: Honest expansion

Saskatoon should be high on the list. With 50,000 more people in Saskatoon then Regina they should be able to support a team there. The bigger questions would be would the Riders want a team there? Would the surrounding areas of Sasktoon support the Saskatoon team or the Saskatchewan Riders?

Re: Empire Field after the glow

I for one will be glad when BC Place is finished. Getting to the game and the before and after game things to do are so much greater Downtown, without the need for a car. Empire took a few games before things started to run a little smoother, the last few games were much better. Getting to Empire ju...

Re: Had a traumatic experience today

Last home game, a pair of tweens, couldnt have been more then 13 but I am guessing 12, sitting behind my wife and I. Out walk the Felions. They made a few comments, my wife rolled her eyes at me and leaned over and said they would know what to do if a Felion got within 10 feet of them. I hear one le...

Re: Parking at the game

I would love 1 Saturday game a year that is a 1PM start. It would be one I bring my kids and a friend or 2 to. For older kids a 7PM start isnt that bad but I am bringing 3 at 8, 8, 6 and normally they are in bed by 830-900 at the latest. A saturday afternoon game is nice. As far as rain I am keeping...

With at least 5 people in the truck it's cheaper then transit.


I more wanted to know if all the seasons passes were gone for lot 9. If they are so be it.
