Lions: Jackson’s pinky finger in question
Courtesy Edmonton Journal: It could very well be nothing. Then again . . . That’s the thing about a pinky finger. You just don’t appreciate how important it is until it comes time to use it and you can’t. Like when cradling a baby for instance. Or throwing a football, let’s say. Jarious Jackson was [...]

A source said Wednesday morning that Nande has been released by the Lions, who fell in love with the linebacker [...]

Buono roars after ‘digusting
Courtesy Vancovuer Province: There were a lot of reasons for Wally Buono to be disappointed. The sure touchdown Rolly Lumbala treated like an anvil dropped from a helicopter. The 25-yard field-goal try Sean Whyte shanked off the upright. A long bomb the usually sure-handed Geroy Simon somehow let slip through his fingertips. And that was [...]

But it is only triggered by a win over the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday, which would be the 232nd of his CFL coaching career and put him above Don Matthews and all others. The coach [...]

Lions eager to turn things around
Courtesy Vancouver Province: The beatdown was enormous and so thorough JoJuan Armour took forever to get up from the chair at his locker, and that was only a matter of relative moments after the Lions’ last game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Can’t keep Lion away
Courtesy Vancouver Province: It was almost as if Paris Jackson were felled by sniper fire. Running one second. Down on the ground in apparent agony the next. There’d have been no bigger blow for the Lions than if their leading receiver couldn’t play against the Alouettes on Friday at B.C. Place. But Jackson insisted after [...]

Leos knew Reid was coming
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: The decision to lift the local blackout of last Friday’s Lions-Blue Bombers five hours before kickoff hit B.C. owner David Braley hard in the wallet. Ticket sales dried up. But hundreds of potential walk-up customers were spared the expense and frustration of watching the debacle under the Dome. Those who stayed [...]
