Don\'t rag too much on the BC Lions - Redrum - 05-29-2011

They were the first pro football home for Don Bunce and,  IIRC,  Jon Volpe.

Hmmm.  Maybe they were the only pro football home for Bunce.

Hasn\'t the CFL always been of higher quality than the AFL?  It certainly is compared to the current version of the AFL.  Of course, Riley getting a shot up there makes me think less of their quality... :P

Most of the good players who weren\'t drafted are waiting for the lockout to end, hoping to be signed by an NFL team once the NFL teams are allowed to sign free agents. It\'s interesting that Riley isn\'t waiting to be signed by an NFL team.

The caption doesn\'t even get his name right, it seems.

How\'s that QB guru coach working out for the B.ears?
