^That's why Flemons is on defense and not a receiver

She came into our section selling calendars. She had a sharpie with her which I assume was for her autograph. Coworker seemed like he wanted one but didn't get it because he didn't wanna seem like a perv with our other coworkers and families sitting around us  | |

Originally Posted by HachiSix Guess again! He is now an Argo. Was he supposed to a free agent this year? Or did he leave the Lions for the NFL? Posted via RS Mobile | he tried out for NFL teams, but got released. Quote:
On Monday night, the B.C. Lions announced they had re-signed free-agent defensive end Ricky Foley, who was quoted in a team release saying he “couldn’t imagine playing anywhere else.”
Turns out that wasn't quite true. Less than 24 hours later, Foley is officially a member of his hometown Toronto Argonauts.
The 28-year-old York University product apparently didn't sleep well with his decision Monday. And on Tuesday, he had a change of heart, sending him from the fold of one David Braley-owned CFL team to another.
Early Tuesday, Lions head coach Wally Buono and his B.C. players were welcoming Foley back through the media, believing his plane was about to land in Vancouver so he could sign his contract. But when it arrived, the 2009 CFL most outstanding Canadian wasn't on it.
“I told Ricky, I don't want you to get on a plane to B.C. and regret it because then we have an unhappy player, a disgruntled player who we've made a substantial investment in,” Buono later told Team Radio in Vancouver. “He's had a change of heart. Whether you like it or not, you have to respect it.”
Since no contract had been signed, Foley was free to do an about-face.
“This was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made,” Foley said in a release sent out by his agent, Paul Sheehy, on Tuesday.
“The fans, players and coaches in B.C. have been nothing but great and supportive of me for my career there,” Foley said, “but if I returned there, it would have been for selfish reasons. I have a unique opportunity to play in front of my family and friends and play for my hometown Argos, and, at the end of the day, my family comes first. So I'm very excited to help bring Toronto a Grey Cup.”
Foley tied for the CFL lead in sacks last season, with 12, earning him a free-agent contract with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Cut by Seattle in August, Foley was signed by the New York Jets, who released him a short time later.

Stuck at Earl's watching the game. Can't hear a fricken thing....... I'm designated driver. At least they have wireless and a few screens. The Lions will lose today, 'cause I'm watching the game. LOL.

Watching at home, myself... actually have a buddy's ticket for the game, plus had two other friends call today to offer me a ticket (one at about 10 to 7...duh). Just been busy doing stuff around the house all day, I lost track of the time, and I'm just too damn tired to make the trek down there (either drive in and pay $25 for parking, or get a ride to SkyTrain and spend an hour on transit... granted, they are running the special shuttles from SkyTain to Empire for the games, so it's not TOO bad).
One of the few times I'm pissed I had to cut my cable lineup to the minimum for budgetary reasons - no TSN HD

Damn it........ if I hadn't promised to be the DD, I would have picked you up and we could have parked at Winson's house. LOL. I would finally meet you. Anyway, eye candy here is pretty damn good.

That was absolutely brutal. After it was 32-31 and we turned it over yet again that was the turning point for me I couldn't stand it anymore.

It was their game to lose. Costly mistakes and turnovers. Looked like a poorly trained high school team on the field.
I guess I'm batting 1000. Gotta stop watching them lose.
If I were the coach, I'd be throwing a tantrum. Nothing else seems to be working.

I was at the game and it was great till the end. You could tell something bad was bound to happen, Printers forces the ball and was lucky not to be picked or sacked many times early in the game.
Security is no fun. I saw 2 dudes kicked out for just being loud and obnoxious. They weren't being rude, or swearing. maybe they were a little too drunk - yet I have never seen security so aggressive at another CFL stadium.

I don't know. I'm on the field. Great View 
You'll have to fight with other fans for the football.
