Re: Redblacks vs. Lions Sept. 11, 2021

Lions radio pxp Bob "the Moj" Marjanovich on with Halford & Brough this morning confirmed it was revealed after the game that the pregame freezing treatment on Reilly's elbow did not kick in as quickly as usual on Saturday. Rourke was warming up to be the starter. There was a 5 minute ...

Re: Redblacks vs. Lions Sept. 11, 2021

[*]Best home game to attend in years. Sure, only 12, 000 and change on hand (no reason we should not be able to open the entire lower bowl if vaccine passports are being implemented :bang: ) but the building was rocking and the Leos seemed to feed off the energy in the stadium. Awesome intro video ...

Re: Lions Website

No doubt all the uncertainty about upcoming changes (vaccine card, and not moving out of Step 3) has resulted in the Lions being overloaded. I had an amusing experience going back to when they sent me the "survey" (which amounted to actually selecting my games and seat) back in July. I fil...

Re: Redblacks vs. Lions Sept. 11, 2021

I agree with other posters Rick Campbell's decision to leave Mike Reilly in til 2 minutes remaining in the game is absurd. Someone should tell Campbell that the Lions were up 29 points and in no jeopardy of losing this game. If ever there is a time to give your backup some quality playing time, it'...

Re: Randy Ambrosie optimistic about 2021

The Edmonton Elks held their first full practice Thursday with 11 players still in COVID protocols. The postponed Elks-Argos game has been rescheduled for Nov. 16 in Toronto. Edmonton and Saskatchewan have also swapped home dates in their back-to-back series Nov. 5 and 13. That means Edmonton will ...

Re: Randy Ambrosie optimistic about 2021

The first apparent release of a CFL player due to breach of COVID protocol is EDM OL Jacob Ruby (NAT).

Re: Lions in the local media (REVIVED thread 6-10-20)

HC Campbell on with Sekeres & Price today. Quite a wide ranging interview, he comes across as very unguarded (unlike Wally who despite his folksy way of speaking, approached interviews with an underlying defensive stance.) Starts at 2:10:30

Re: Lions in the local media (REVIVED thread 6-10-20)

Do Moj and Giulio host a weeky radio show on AM730? I thought it was Tuesdays, but I could be mitaken. DH :cool: I thought that they did a show on Tuesday but I have not been able to listen on the radio. I've tried to listen to the podcast, but couldn't find it either. I also thought that Farhan an...

Re: Elks vs. Lions Aug. 19, 2021

And with the aforementioned Tackles hobbled, a quick play strategy is even more crucial. The heat that is going to be put on our QB because of a weak o-line isn't going to allow Reilly to wait on long developing pass plays. He will be lucky if he gets 3 steamboats. With no credible rushing threat t...

Re: R.I.P. Tony Esposito (23 May 1943 - 10 August 2021)

Agreed. If Tony Esposito hadn't come in and won Game 2 in Toronto, Canada would have lost the Summit Series. My earliest memory of him as seeing a picture in the Toronto Star with his (at that time unusual) butterfly style. I also remember (as a fellow southpaw) noticing he held the stick with his l...

Re: Lions at Redblacks Aug. 28, 2021

Let's keep in mind that, yes, Ottawa's offense has struggled. But they've played against two pretty good defenses in Edmonton and Saskatchewan. You saw how much trouble Reilly had moving the ball against the Elks. Don't sleep on a Paul LaPolice designed offense, no matter how many weapons they're m...

Re: Future home games

As to capacity allowed IMO (haven't seen anything to the contrary) since Dr Henry said that moving out of Step 3 is very unlikely on Sept 7, the OTT game will be 12,500. The Sept 24 SSK game (which will be under vaccination passport, masks worn rules) if still under Step 3 rules would be 12,500 BUT ...
