“To be the man, you’ve got to beat the man.” That’s what Ric Flair used to say back in my wrestling-watching years.
Yesterday, the Lions’ domination of the Riders just proved: Yeah, they’re still “the man”! We lost in every part of the game, and I don’t even know what we did wrong. The Lions were simply firing on all cylinders, and we couldn’t match up with it. Nothing more to say…
Except…
There’s always next year.
Have you ever heard read Jim Lang’s stuff? He’s the CFL guy for Sportsnet. While I love his passion for the game, he’s got the stupidest vocabulary on the planet. He’ll use words like ‘stud’ and ‘sexy’ to describe football players and games. Yeah, those don’t quite work.
But THIS game… he’s calling it to be a ‘slobber-knocker’. That’s probably right on target.
Here’s to a great battle on Sunday. May the Green & White be the last men standing!
If you’ve ever wondered what God wants you to do or which fork in the road to take, here’s a perfect answer. But beware. It’s one of those answers that doesn’t neatly solve your problem or spell anything out for you… but you know it’s right anyway.
Yeah, this is one of those.
“If it pleases you, always and only, to do what pleases God,–you can do as you please!”
I know at least one fellow who’s still wondering.
As for the rest of us, we know: Something green just left a battered and bloodied something red in its wake.
That was simply a thing of beauty. Our boys showed up in a feisty and foul mood, and that made for some fantastic football!
For some sweet whining and finger-pointing, go HERE.
The Raptors lost to the Spurs on Sunday. No big surprise from a young team. But a blip on Sportsnet.ca made me laugh afterwards…
Notes: The Raptors and Spurs have the most international players of any team in the league with six apiece. Said Barry: “I was the only one out there with one vowel in my last name, which is kind of fun and exciting. When (Jorge) Garbajosa was at the free throw line I was trying to spell his name in my head without looking at the back of his jersey and I just couldn’t do it.
Brent Barry: Imagine a guy who can shoot threes and be funny!
