2012 CFL regular season/playoffs thread

/DO NOT miss the double dive at 30 seconds of that video ... sportsmanship galore during that game ... only thing missing was regina fans throwing full beer cans at players

I <heart> that so very much.
love how when they both saw the other guy do it, they popped right back up.


Reilly probably starting for the Leos again next week.

was it randorf that said the Lions "B team" should be included in the power rankings?

 

[dash]

Not to go all dupster, but it truly is the LEast division this year in the CFL...Alouettes get a virtual bye into the East final due to a craptacular division.

Did they have to issue a special XXXX-sized helmet for Khalif's noggin?

"I've learned I'm a lot more important just than I probably thought I was," said Mitchell, who majored in communications at East Carolina. "I just thought I was a regular athlete coming out here and I could do anything I want and just play football. But I can't, because I'm the all-star guy. I'm the defensive tackle. I'm the throat-slasher. I'm the big mean D-lineman. There's a lot more to me than just Khalif Mitchell and football, and I have to get acclimated to that now."

Lions' Mitchell says whole team needs to learn from his tweet

oooff. well if thats his acknowledgement that he needs to change at least he um... sees something wrong there.

wow you dont need to wear that avatar all week dash. I give a pardon

Sounds like Drew Tate will see plenty of game action Friday night against BC - It's a meaningless game as far as the standings are concerned, but it will be good for Tate to shake off some rust.

I really think Mitchell has some sort of mental health issue. He should be thankful he has football in his life right now because if not ... oh jebus

I was at the game he tried to pull off Rottiers arm and I didnt notice the attempted arm break during the game as i didnt see a replay but what i did notice all game was Mitchell standing away from teammates, dancing around in between plays ... very odd cat

He fancies himself as Buck from the newest reincarnation of Planet of the Apes movie. If Im a black guy Im not living life comparing myself to a gorilla

Punters truly are low man on the totem pole...Stamps kicker Rob Maver below

Cornish won his 7th Canadian player of the week award - First career 100 yard receiving game last Saturday night against Hamilton.

/Great to see him and Andrew Harris of the Lions having very good seasons.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

that's stupid.


Lions' QB start great for Reilly, but will end Lulay's TD streak at 26 games. CFL says it's a GP for Lulay because he's dressed.

good news

CFL rule change: Lulay didn?t play game, can still make TD record

 

[dash]

Looks like Mike Reilly will get the start for the Leos and Drew Tate got the majority of the snaps in practice yesterday for the Stamps...

good. that was a stupid rule.


Leos are getting ready for the snow.
dipping their hands in ice water at practice, and playing with frozen balls (I said pardon???)

I like watching football in the snow.
but only on TV, when I am warm and cozy at home.

So, has the precedent been set (punch a guy in the junk results in only a fine)

TSNDaveNaylor: Als Shea Emry fined -- not suspended -- for after-the-whistle fine against Sask's Brendon Labatte.#cfl #als #Riders

I thought for sure RunakoReth wasnt coming back next year ... even though hes getting up there it didnt cross my mind that the institution that is Geroy would be gone too ... will be a sad day

dont think they really need Arceneaux ... they have so much depth at receiver and now they have this DJ Woods guy

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/f...rn+Emmanuel+Arceneaux+next/7442760/story.html


Buono spelled it out rather succinctly Wednesday,

"The reality is after the season we’re going to have to sit down and have some tough things to discuss. So (Arceneaux) doesn’t come on the horizon. We still have to have the tough discussion, and that’s across our team."





/also ... Kierrie Johnson was cut late Wednesday.

That's a surprise, that guy's speed scares me.

/victim of the numbers game?

theyre so deep and they brought in this DJ Woods guy that they are really high on ... and they think he shys away from contact (alligator arms?) after the arm break

Is Marco Iannuzzi going to be back soon? The kid from Calgary was having a great season.

with all the depth there is no rush

which makes it weird that Geroy is playing this weekend ... in calgary ... on a slick snowy field ... coming off a hammy

Jay Onrait's shoes...

/Grey Cup one month away

 

[puckhead]

no Simon, no Lulay, no Bruce, no Mitchell... that's the beginnings of a pretty good all-star team right there.
wouldn't surprise me to see Angus Reid miss a game or two down the stretch for maintenance.
I think they will keep in Harris though, as every yard he gets sets a new CDN record.

close

Angus Reid will watch from sidelines. Dean Valli will play centre. Angus will step in on short yardage plays, and snap on FG's.



Valli's been a bit of an adventure at times this season.
