The Lions remember the tweets of Jonathan Hefney of the Bombers after we beat them in the Grey Cup last year.

‘Blatantly disrespectful’ tweet by Winnipeg DB has Lions ready to play
“It was blatantly disrespectful. I felt like it was a coward move to say that after the fact, after [Hefney] had just got beat for a touchdown,” Lions veteran Ryan Phillips said. “At the end of the day ... you didn’t make enough plays to win. We did.”
“That’s like if I ran a red light and I get pulled over I can’t say I wish it was yellow or green. It happened,” said Lions receiver Arland Bruce. “If he was on my team, I’d say, ‘Don’t be a sore loser.’”
“Well, that’s the goal,” Bruce clarified Thursday. “We’re not going to say we’re going to go 0-18.”
“I got 1-0 on my mind,” said Lions head coach Mike Benevides, unaware he had just waded into his first minefield in his new job.
“Got this game coming tomorrow, that’s all I’m worried about,” Hefney said Thursday. “That’s just my personal opinion. I would tell them [the same thing] on the field. I always talk because I can back it up.”
“That’s just [Hefney] being ignorant and not knowing when to be quiet,” said Korey Banks. “ Say what you want. We have the diamonds. Hefney can play. But him on Geroy all day, I’m taking Geroy. Him on Arland, I’m taking Arland. Him on [Johnson], I’m taking [Johnson]. I like our receivers over their secondary. It don’t matter. You can print it any kind of way you want.”
