Indy isn't exactly the best situation to head to for a RB like Keith. In Joseph Addai the Colts boasted the top rookie RB in the NFL this season. Addai rushed for 1085 yards and they eased him into the starting role by platooning him with Domenic Rhodes for the first few games. Also they normally ru...

One Pub? c'mon Dale there are 2 pubs near the multiplex ... JJ's and Alfredo's .... Granted Alfredo's is a little further away but it is the closest you could get land to it... I keep forgetting about Alfredos. Whatta dump. At least it was last time I was in there about 10 years ago. Never saw any ...

It has served its purpose. Time to tear it down and build another one in Surrey, or somewhere less logistically challenged. Huh?!?!?! Move it to Surrey or somewhere less logistically challenged?!?!?! The least logistically challenged location is right where it sits now. Seabus/Skytrain from the Nor...

would the lions get the concessions and stuff if he bought BC Place? That would all depend on how the different businesses are structured. In all likelihood they would remain seperate entities on the books. It would all depend on what sort of rental contract Braley's BC Lions Football Club would be...

It seems that ever since the roof blew apart everyone is grabbing the pinata stick and taking a whack. The latest is local condo marketing guru Bob Rennie who was the lead story on NEWS1130 this morning weighing in that BC Place should be TORN DOWN after the Olympics. The rationale? Surprise surpri...

About the $700,000 - that was to cover additional traveling expenses that the team had to incur as a result of moving from the West (where we belong) to the East division - no gift there. Hell, I'd be tickled pink if the league moved any other western team to the East and gave them 1.5 million - ju...

Listening to our intrepid reporter JM I gleaned a few things for those who think BC Place is primarily a sports facility and simply removing the roof is a cost effective alternative. Annual rent collected by BC Place Corp - $12.7 million. Methinks the Lions' share is only a portion of the number to ...

Re: CKNW - BC Place stadium roof collapsed
more to come That is a huge blow (little play on words there) for Vancouver period. The Dome is just getting ready for its busy season. With the exception of a couple of days it is booked every day from the 3rd week in January until April 15. Not only could it be a huge economic blow to BC Place Co...

Yes - some other examples in the past - Benefield played for the 49ers for a year - a CFL rush end who was a linebacker but also more a special teams guy down there; Fred Perry made an NFL roster for a bit after having a great year on the Argos D - another quick CFL rush end type. So Wilson could s...

I'm not a golfer but the closest parallel in team sports to a golfer lining up a putt is a baketball player lining up a free throw. For a player like Steve Nash to shoot 90% from the foul line, with the game often on the line and spectators whistling and waving their arms in his line of sight, is a...

There are huge differences between team sports in an arena or stadium environment like hockey, football, baseball and basketball are played versus individual sports such as golf, tennis and others mentioned. In golf there is little ambient noise. The golfer addressing his shot is concentrating on on...

Back to the original topic of this thread I've been a Colts fans since long before they backed the moving vans up to Memorial Stadium and snuck out of Baltimore under the cover of darkness. Why Colts? I'm not sure. Might have been something as simple as the horseshoe on the helmet given my grandpare...
