BC Lions/CFL 2012 Season thread

Recommended Posts

Pros:

Sean Whyte's moxie

Buck Pierce's moxie

Lions defense (Cates and Bagg were ineffective)

Cons:

Sean Whyte's accuracy

Lions short yardage offense (3 cracks from the 1yd line and epic failure)

Damone Duckett (Mr Turnstyle reporting for duty)

As Deb already mentioned, not the prettiest game, but a win over the Riders anywhere is a good thing.

I've had season's tickets for years and have never had a beer at the game - it's terrible and expensive. And yes, I pay attention.

It was a joke (the "drunk" part). And I really didn't have you in mind when I made the comment you quoted...was referring to Twas. I know you pay attention because your comments on the team/game reflect that.

I think this thread has both CFL and NFL snobs. Just like the Canuck fans that rage on people in the lower bowl because they don't cheer loud enough for their liking and if they were true fans they'd be a certain mold.

Nobody can decide what a "good" fan is. Just because someone is not as immersed in a game as someone else, does not mean they can't enjoy it like anybody else. I thought sports were here for everyone to enjoy not to fit a certain criteria of what an acceptable fan is.

And just like if you don't like the CFL, NHL, NFL, MLB etc.etc. you don't need to sit there talking about how crapty it is and how it's not a "real" sport. Just don't watch it. It's really easy. There are A LOT of people who DO like it and really, who are you to tell them what is good or not?

Okay I'm done.

(Vancouver) The BC Lions announced this morning that non-import receiver Bret Anderson has been signed by the club. Anderson returns to the Lions fold after retiring prior to the 2009 season.

“Bret is special athlete who has the experience and ability to helps us immediately,” said Lions GM and head coach Wally Buono.

A veteran of 176 games dating back to the 1997 season, the versatile receiver and kicker played a valuable role on special teams in recent years sharing kickoff duties with Paul McCallum in addition to 93 career receptions for 1,137 yards and five TD’s.

Significant roster moves for Friday's game:

Printers in and Zach Champion out.

It appears as though Casey Printers will make his sideline debut as a member of the B.C. Lions this Friday.

According to a report by the TEAM 1040, Printers will dress as the third-string quarterback when the Lions take the field against the Edmonton Eskimos this Friday.

After two injury-riddled seasons with the Tiger-Cats, in which he threw for six touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a less-than-impressive 53.0 completion percentage, Printers found himself out of the CFL. By signing with B.C. he returned to where his Canadian Football career began.

The Edmonton Eskimos have signed free agent kick returner/receiver Skyler Green.

A fourth round selection (125th overall) by Dallas in the 2006 NFL Draft, Green has spent time with the Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints. He appeared in 11 games over the past three NFL seasons.

In four seasons at Louisiana State, Green had 111 receptions for 1,129 yards and 9 touchdowns.
