Trade for Tate?

What about this option: Trade for Drew Tate? He can't be content as a #2 in Calgary, not sure of the length of his current contract, but Huff must realize this. In my mind, best option other than a healthy Lulay, which simply isn't bankable. Lions need to offer fans something to get excited about. A...

Re: Lions Ring of Honour

I tend to think the best place would be splitting them up over both end zones, that way all stadiums patrons would be able to see them.

Lions Ring of Honour

Does anyone else who attends home games on a regular basis find that the Lions 'Ring of Honour' is less than impressive? To be clear, I'm not talking about the players honoured, but the so-called 'ring' itself - these banners are tucked up at the top of the lower bowl, I've had to point them out to ...

Re: Alouettes 24 - Lions 9 Post Game Stats and Comments

Did anyone else notice Cord Parks dancing to the music during a break, then smiling happily beside a very troubled looking Kevin Glenn, both times late in the 2nd half? Very discouraging to see this lack of pride or concern from what I thought may be a key player on the Lions. Just sayin...

Re: Geroy packing it in

Allright, I have to pipe in, when I start reading that the Riders Grey Cup game strategy was to throw to Geroy to 'justify his contract'? LOL! I lot has been written here, and I think there's been a few too many shots taken at 81. As noted, he still believed he was an elite player last season, and w...

If Geroy retires as a Rider, I'll be retiring my 81 jersey.

Re: 2014 CFL schedule released

I find this to be a very disappointing schedule:
twice we have home games within one week of each other (July 19 & 25, then Sept. 13 and 19), then 1 home game per month after Sept 19.

I don't understand how the team can be happy with this.

MD would be a natural successor at OC as another ex-Lion that cost us a Grey Cup victory

Re: West Semi-Final Game Day Thread

One last comment: as a big geroy fan, sad to see him go from hero to zero. Hope he at least gets a ring in 2013. Hope he doesn't. Ouch! No love for ol' 81! I actually don't really care if he gets a ring either, just kinda sad to see a guy who's meant so much to the lions franchise have his career w...

Re: West Semi-Final Game Day Thread

Any predictions on who of the old guys on d will not be back? I'd wait until the entry draft before giving anyone up, but right now the keepers would be Smith, Westerman, Bighill, Elimimiam, Bell, Parks and Parker. Maybe Reid and Jordan, and I love Taylor, but the DLine has to get younger and meane...

Tune in to 1410 and wallow in this loss to your heart's content through 7pm.
