Comment on Harris gives Lions options heading into 2012 and beyond. by Mark

Harris is going to be a star. He has all the tools and at such a young age, if he stays healthy could become the greatest Lions running back of all time when he’s done. (Statswise anyway, Willie Fleming is the man).

Comment on Our Superman: Appreciating Geroy Simon, one of the best we’ve ever seen. by sj-roc

His first CFL contract (with Wpg) expired after the 2000 season, so he took a crack at the NFL in 2001 but didn’t stick; he came back up north and we signed him as a free agent in the latter half of that season.

I was curious as to wether Geroy got a legit crack at the NFL. He’s definitely got the jam

Comment on No sympathy for blackout complainers. Buy a ticket and support the Lions. by mike

TV sells the game and blackouts takes the product out of the public eye…

i always think about heavy weight boxing and the way they went to pay per view. When I was young matches between ALI-Frazier were broadcast world wide and EVERYBODY was interested in what happened next.
then along came pay per view technology and you had to pay a premium to watch a fight that might last one or two rounds (Hello Mike Tyson) and the world began to forget about boxing. Today ask yourself who is the reigning heavyweight boxing champion of the world? better yet ask 10 people at random and you will see what blackout can do to a market.

Rule six; “Each tailgater vehicle can only take up one parking spot.” Most motor homes will take up a minimum of two parking spots and four in a block to put out an awning or set up chairs and place to bbq.

Read….the…article….

This post has nothing to do with people that can’t go…it has to do with people that can and don’t.

Also….”way back when”, no home games were televised except playoff games and you were lucky to see half the road games. I’m sure your dad remembers that.

You’re welcome to join us at Terminal and Quebec. The Lions have no control over the lots, and neither does the city. The lots around the stadium are owned by Concord Pacific, and they are the ones that have banned tailgating on their property.

Have been to NFL and college games in the states where hundreds show up in their motor homes for tail gate parties, what an atmosphere, was hoping to bring our motor home with several couples to tailgate at the 2011 western final but by all accounts the parking lot owners will not allow this to happen and the Lions could care less, what a shame, no fun city strikes again.

Jason, are you aware that the “real” NFL, being so strapped for cash and all, currently applies local blackouts to home games that don’t sell out within 72 hours of kickoff, and that their practice of lifting local blackouts that satisfy this criterion is followed only because US lawmakers have ORDERED them to do so?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_blackout#Blackout_policies

BTW, the NFL’s blackout radius is 75 miles, much farther than you are from BCP. If the CFL had the same blackout policy as the NFL that you apparently so admire, nobody from Chilliwack to Whistler would have seen a Lions home game on tv since the 1980s. That “real” enough for ya?
