Are the Lions restricting attendance to 12,500 ? The Lions are following COVID protocols for Step 3--the number allowed is currently 12,500 if you are only using the lower bowl. (The Whitecaps will have to do the same for their "home opener" on Saturday). Back in the halcyon days of the J...

Patrick Johnston getting a lot of static for his in-depth (probably the result of 2 minutes notice) analysis "owns a bunch of stuff" . :rotf: I suspect that if this announcement had anything to do with the Canucks he would have given a little more thought to his choice of words. He broke ...

Apparently so.

A BC corporation with decades long history here--that's as good as you can get. After doing a quick search, Doman has never been listed in the long history of potential buyers. From listening right now to Neil McEvoy on Rintoul & Surman on 650, this is not an overnight deal--they have been looki...

Flintoft's college bio would indicate very little PK (and no FG kicking) experience.

The next raw rookie to cover himself with glory? (or flame out never to be seen again).

And what is with Calgary? Man did they look mortal over the last two weeks. Their receiving corp seems very average and Mitchell sure doesn't seem like the same QB of years previous. But yeah very weird to see Alta 0-4 after two weeks of play. Definitely some unexpected surprises in the first two w...

This showed up a couple of times just now (along with the "too many connections" error).

According to this, we could see Camacho or Menard-Briere doing FGs on Thursday (with Flintoft only punting). Also looks like another week of freeze the elbow and see if it takes game time decision for Reilly.

Interesting that Camacho (A) was signed by BC in March 2020, but ended up going to HAM training camp this season. Menard-Briere (NAT) drifted around 4 CFL teams since being drafted by WPG in 2017. Had no training camp since The Lost Season signing by MTL in 2020. Neither has seen any game action in ...

It said Ford is "expected to return in the coming days". You're right, when it's an immigration issue, BC should be counting on only having Flintoft available for Thursday.

If you are too afraid to sent your kicker out for a 36 yard FG attempt in basically very gentle conditions, then you need a kicker. Points matter and when you start passing on opportunities to get points in tight games like we did twice last night, then the kicker needs to go. 36 yards is not signi...

Why not punt for a single point? I get that coach Campbell probably had no confidence in his FG kicker, and a missed FG might result in a big return. But from the 35 it should be no problem to either punt the ball out of the end zone or kick it deep enough that the returner concedes a single point,...

I think a lot of credit has to go to Ryan Rigmaiden who returned to the team in November. Our US scouting was always solid when he was here, and I think we can all agree did not look that good after he left. He, and McEvoy have done an excellent job in bringing in good US talent and have completely...

Weather forecast for Calgary tonight looks excellent--no smoke, light winds (hope that helps Yamasaki), low humidity (the weekend will be a different story).

....and Rourke is now officially the starter (but depending on Reilly's injury situation). Halford & Brough interviewed him this morning. Starts at 20:00 https://podcast.sportsnet.ca/halford-and-brough/aug-11-hour-2-nathan-rourke-on-hb/ He is well-spoken, sounds mature, has seen a lot of US High...
