Those of you that know me know that I have been pushing long and hard for an outdoor stadium for the Leos. Not just because I think football is meant to be played in the elements forcing teams to adjust and strategize accordingly, but living in such an outdoor city as we do, it's almost a requiremen...

David, you are dead right about the lack of calls and I am just as guilty as any one else. My problem is I tend to tune in to get NEWS and FACTS and interviews of plers and coaches. In the few times I have had a chance to listen online most of the phone in requests were something I wasn't really in...

This is no personal knock on any of you, but I don't think you can come on here and complain about CFL coverage if you don't call in on the open line. It's like whining about politics and not voting. If you don't think the Lions are getting enough coverage on the TEAM, then pick up the phone and cal...

...If you will allow me a shallow moment too, I prefer the natural wholesome looks of the Felions. Again, just personal opinion but I find the Seagals look too much like Barbie doll clones with fake boobs, bleached white teeth... Two questions: 1. Do you actually know if the all the SeaGals are 'fa...

Not to mentioned merchandise and sponsorship. I don't get it either. Bob Ackles recently said that David Braley will likely make money for the first time this year. :? Hello? We averaged 26,697 fans a game and pulled in over 55,000 for the Western Final. That's up close to a 30K average. If you cons...

Both teams dance? :shock: I thought they were just eye-candy for the usual fans to stare at......... :roll: Sorry folks, but as far as dance routines, I have to side with the Seagals on this topic. Just one guys' opinion. I have to disagree Bosco. Maybe I'm biased but I think our girls - while youn...

Weathermen (ahem..."meteorologists" :roll:) don't wear ties anymore. Neither do Lions fans. Except me, and even then I only wear one for big business meetings and at weddings).

Not trying to slam your idea James, but I just don't see a market for them.

Now if they'd gone with that exact same look, except a black helmet instead of silver, I'd be very happy right now. how would the "BC" show though? Good point DPF. However, I still think you'd see it because there is an orange border around the black "BC" but the orange Lions' h...

Am I the only one here who prefers the orange 50th Anniversary uniform? I actually preferred it when they played in the regular pants toward the end of the season as opposed to the all-black pants. Now if they'd gone with that exact same look, except a black helmet instead of silver, I'd be very hap...

...and later as a teenager would snap pencils in my bedroom. That's the first time I've ever heard it called that. What I meant - and I thought this would be crystal clear but let me break it down for those with a one track mind - is that I used to listen to the radio in my bedroom to some heartbre...

I can still remember my Dad taking me to Empire. My first vivid recollections were the 1970 and 1971 seasons. Paul Brothers, Don Moorhead, Jim Young, Jim Evenson, Ted Gerela, Lefty Hendrickson.... It's funny one's childhood recollections: the whistle of the traffic cop on Hastings directing foot tra...

When did you become a Lions' fan

In which decade did you become a hardcore, lifelong, loyal fan of the BC Lions? Judging by the number of posts that I read on Lions trivia etc (about players like Matt Dunigan and Roy Dewalt), I am guessing the 80's. But then again, a lot of people have become converts since Dave and Casey arrived o...
