Not even the hockey coverage, how often do we see complaints here that the Lions don't even get a mention in the off-season?West Coast Blue Fan wrote:At least Pratt is talking about the Lions. Geez, how many on here complain because of the hockey coverage, and Pratt tries to drum up a little interest in JANUARY for the Leos and you're all over him.
What.....Wally.....vague?? The HELL you say! 8)Soundy wrote:Wally was pretty vague in his P&T interview... he didn't rule out CP returning, but he made it pretty clear that any player he brings in will have to have the right attitude and put the team first.
Him, Casey and fd45 would make a lovely trio, don't you think?TheLionKing wrote:Pratt is full of himself.

What about Edmonton? Ricky Ray won't live forever, Lefors is gone to the 'Peg, and Jason Mass isn't exactly the qb of the future.Dan Russell wrote:The only possible teams that Printers could play for this year is
Winnipeg: Although they state they are not interested in Printers, I tend to believe they is some chance CP could be a Blue Bomber as Glenn is trade bait right now. Do you wanna roll the dice with Dinwiddie or Chang who never have played consistent? Then again Glenn didn't play consistent ever so why not?
Toronto: As they are not sold on Kerry Joseph to begin with and Andrus's entrance could mean something or nothing. I am leaning towards nothing as it seems they will ride with Joseph this year.
Montreal: Only if Calvillo retires, which with the Grey Cup loss last year and previous years their is some unfinished business for him. He'd love to go out with a Grey Cup win.
Finally BC: That would hinge on BP signing in the NFL which I doubt will happen. Then with JJ's inconsistent play and Wally not totally saying this is impossible states that he still feels their is talent there. With Geroy and Paris, Printers would already be a better player with less of his passes bouncing off their chests then in Hamilton. Besides his potental attitude question marks, other issues are financially he would have to agree to a pay cut which seems hard to believe but to get out of Hamilton it is possible. 1 thing that would put a wrench into this scenario is Chap's presence on the team as we all know him and CP didn't see eye to eye to say the least.
Ultimately Hamilton has to be rid of Printers this year. The question is how and where?
I wouldn't go that far. I'm happy if the sentence also includes words like "sacked by", "Aaron Hunt" and "Brent Johnson".B.C.FAN wrote:I don't ever want to hear Casey Printers and the B.C. Lions mentioned in the same sentence.

Oh well, like I've often said, some people just need something - anything - to complain about. And they all hang out here.

1. Pratt is a big supporter of CFL football and the BC Lions. He's one of the few Vancouver media personalities who actually gets excited about the Lions and let's that come across on air.korey&dante4ever wrote: I listened to the Buck Pierce interview a couple of days ago and was absolutely appauled that Pratt would ask Buck if Printers would be back in B.C.... where the **** does he get the nerve to ask a question like that...
This is absolutely gross... I'm pretty sure Pratt could name the entire lineup of the Manitoba Moose but probably couldnt even name half of the starting players on the Lions.. It's disgusting.. He's disgusting.
I'm sorry, but when it comes Pratt talking about the CFL... it's awkward to listen to, and borderline laughable...it's too bad that us diehard lions fans have to listen to him.
Probably right here:korey&dante4ever wrote:I listened to the Buck Pierce interview a couple of days ago and was absolutely appauled that Pratt would ask Buck if Printers would be back in B.C.... where the **** does he get the nerve to ask a question like that...
I think that the talk can only get so technical before people tune out. Even the hockey talk is broad strokes - nothing more technical than line combinations gets discussed.korey&dante4ever wrote:Okay.. well clearly I'm getting a lot of heat on here for what I said about Pratt...
But if you read what i said, I never questioned whether or not Pratt was a fan of the Lions (I fully realize he and Donny Taylor are big fans)...but I still stand by the fact that if you asked him to recite the starting lineup, he'd only get 50-70% of the players. But besides that, I've never heard Pratt bring up any real constructive thoughts about the Lions. Only standard stuff like they're playing good, bad or of course Printers talk.. and it's annoying. I mean, is it really hard to talk about key matchups on gameday (i.e. "watch out for Paris Jackson on Jordan Younger.. those two hate eachother" to spike interest) or defense/offensive strategy?... And yes, maybe he is handcuffed on the topics he needs to talk about for ratings sake.. so MAYBE i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Oh and his line that he keeps bringing up.. "Buy a program, you're gonna need it" for next year is painful to listen to... Follow the team through training camp.. preseason.. and you're not going to need to buy a progam!!
