Damon Allen said he’d like to one day be recognized for the two Grey Cup wins he brought to the Edmonton Eskimos during his career. He’ll be honoured by the Lions for his 2000 win. Allen talks in The Province on Friday (Lions)
It probably should be noted that practice for the Lions wrapped up Thursday earlier than at any point since Mike Benevides has been in charge, but it should also suggest that for the third straight day it was smooth sailing in Surrey.
So instead we’ll invite you to be sure to check out the paper Friday or online, as there’s several pieces which should help you get set for Saturday’s game.
We’ve got a revealing take on a variety of topics on Damon Allen, who is being inducted onto the Lions Wall of Fame Saturday with the equally-legendary Don Matthews. The ex-Lions quarterback was quite candid when it came to discussing the last time he wanted to wear a B.C. uniform and how he was treated by Wally Buono.
Angus Reid also has a look at the progress in the last year of former Edmonton OL and current teammate Patrick Kabongo. We also visit with new Eskimos GM Ed Hervey about trading for Mike Reilly, plus look at the biggest issue facing the Lions starting play, which isn’t on offence or defence.
All of this, however, is meant as an attempt to get you to drop by for our weekly legendary Lions live chat, which like last week is set again for 4 p.m. Saturday. Bring your thoughts and questions. Venting is permitted too.
