  1. That hit looked really bad. Just above the knee. I hate the Riders but I hate it more when I see a leg dangling. Don't want to see gruesome injuries like that. Hope Bane is going to be okay.
  2. Three Stars: 1. Zach Collaros. Showed he still has it & maybe this is his emergence from his year long slumer at qb. IF it is then watch out CFL. 2. Kenny Lawler: Wow, wow, wow, wow, Did I say wow??? Wow. 3.. Brady Oliveira. That TD he scored showed not only great strength but balnace as well. He's dialed in. Happy Honker to Nic Demski. Two tds last night. He looks ready for the playoffs.
  3. I believe that Vernon Adams would have won this game. But Campbell got his man, Rourke where he wants him screwing over Big Play VA. The Head Coach's stupidity has killed this team. If the Lions finish third this season, is his job at risk? Rourke isn't playing anywhere near the level he played at in 2022.
  4. That whiff on that tackle by Haba was brutal. He has to be much better than that.
  5. Suitor was pissed off the Lions lost. What ****. Wah, wah, wah, wah.... Amateur broadcast by TSN.
  6. Mildy impressed? Sheesh...
  7. What an amateur broadcast from TSN. There was only one team on the field that mattered tonight & that was the BC Lions. The Ti Cats didn't matter to Lalji & Suitor. It was all BC Lions all the time but absolutely nothing about the Hamilton Tiger Cast. It was just ridiculous. Such a homer broadcast. What did they do? Tejll Farhan he was doing the broadcast last night. Oh, probably.
  8. My foot & ankle are totally screwed. I need a cane for balance to walk. My bones are fused & my foot won't work like it's supposed to work. Without a cane, I walk like I'm drunk & could fall any time without warning. It's particularily scary getting in & out of a bathtub. I can't run or jump anymore. When I think of someone like Jeremiah Massoli & what he went through with his foot & ankle injury, same with Ville Heinola, it brings back some baaaad memories. That is closer to the truth than you'll ever know. Thanks. Appreciate it.
  9. I had ankle surgery in 2015 & developed a bone infection 3 weeks after going under the knife. An operation that was supposed to take 4 months to completely heal kept me off work for 16 months & bedridden for 12. Absolutely no weight bearing was allowed. My home became a prison. The infection flared up 4 times over those 16 months & I was hospitalized for a week each time as they drained the swelling & gave me these powerful intravenous antibiotics to kill the bacteria. It got to the point where they were considering amputating my leg below the knee. Luckily, that never happened. However, if I was a pro hockey player like Heinola, my career would have been over.
  10. That may have been the best middle linebacker performance that new kid ... was his name Brown???... played in years. He & Ayers were great together.
  11. That was torture on Saturday. The week before it was Rourke. No wonder NFL fans ridicule our league.
  12. I remember the off season before1988. GM Cal Murphy refused to pay Clements & Reaves what they wanted on new contracts so he cut Reaves who signed with Washington & Clements retired to practice law with hai wife in Chicago ( before he got into coaching). Joe Pop had a bad back & called it a career. Brutal off season.
  13. I expect MBT to play the entire game this Friday. I agree Ford is not a starting qb in this league. He's a super talented & athletic qb who can run but can't read a defense if his life depended on it. With Ford as their qb, the Elks receivers are just being wasted.
  14. Stamps just suck. There's no character or pride on that team anymore. The fans can see it & are fed up After what happened Saturday night in the Stamps locker room how can you even sell this team to the fans in Calgary anymore? There was a big shouting match in the locker room between Tre Roberson & Josiah Coatney a rookie DL. He was the one who laid out Zach Collaros earlier in the year when we played the Stamps at McMahon Stadium. Apparently, the older Stamps veterans on the team, Michel, Roberson, Beggelton etc are trying to teach the younger players, "The Stamps Way" or how they were taught to be pros by other veterans who they played with as young players. There's still 6 players left from the 2018 Grey Cup Champs. These entitled younger players are having none of it & refuse to listen to the veterans trying to help them. These guys will only do what they want to do & refuse to listen to these "old men". Judging by the comments on social media, some of the younger Stamps fans on X were taking the young players side & calling Roberson an "Old Man who yells at clouds". Beggelton. Michel & Roberson are getting tired of being ignored & things boiled over after their 6th straight loss on Saturday night. so much so that the two players had to be separated. My question is why is it up to the players? It should be up to Dave Dickenson & his staff to establish the culture. Not Roberson or Beggelton. If these players don't care then they should all be released come this off season to send a message, If they don't want to FI then FO. That entire coaching staff needs to go as well. Oh & then there's Defensive Lineman Mike Rose who thinks teammates fighting each other in the locker room in front of everybody including the one or two media members who still follow the team is a good thing. What a dumpster fire. We need to appreciate what we have as a team, fellas....
  15. Young head coaches are a big part of the problem because they're just like their players. Look at how stupid BC Lions DC Ryan Phillips acts on the sidelines with the many ("I can't believe this is happening") faces he makes when things go bad on the field for him. How he seems to mock other teams when his defense gets the upper hand & how he says he encourages his players to act like idiots on the field yapping. A generation ago, these coaches would have been shown the door by their HC or in the case of a mouthy HC, his GM. There seemed to be a lot more decorum & respect for one another back then.
  16. Armstead had a very good game running the ball against a very bad Stamps defense. On close ups, I noticed more than a few times that it looks like he wanted to fight his tacklers on the field. The guy appears to be a walking stick of dynamite ready to go off. Bob Dyce isn't stupid, there was a reason he let a talented back like that go. Of course, Armstead just adds to the negative culture of that team.
  17. Ryquell Armstead is starting for the Riders this weekend.
  18. Yeah, I remember that. He took a lot of criticism for the way he wore that baseball cap.
  19. Mace is suffering from Devonne Claybrooks Syndrome. Claybrook was rated the best Defensive Coordinator in the league because he had an All Star team of defensive talent around him with the Stamps. He struggled coaching average players as Lions Head Coach. Funny how after he was fired in BC, absolutely no one signed him as their D Coordinator. Just how bad was it inside that locker room at BC Place with him in charge?
  20. These young, inexperienced head coaches in the NFL & CFL. Maybe 20% of them find true success. Mace is just looking like another Craig Dickenson with Brown going after qbs & the signing of the angry Ryquell Armstead. He was one hot tomale of a Defensive Coordinator because when he was in Toronto, Pinball signed every available free agent star on the defensive side of the ball.
  21. The road was red with carnage.
  22. Not many people your age even know who Sergio Mendes was let alone are familiar with his music. Big hit in 1968.
  23. Why do I think our defense will continue to play well (we've only given up 274 oints in 13 games) until the playoffs when we'll get crushed? And Walters & Osh coulf have improved it but chose to stand pat all season.
