LIONS
REGINA (CP) - Add Saskatchewan's Paul McCallum to the list of Scott Norwood, Bill Buckner and others who have paid a nasty price for a costly mistake on the playing field.
McCallum missed two field goals, including the potential winner in overtime, in a 27-25 loss to the B.C. Lions in the CFL West final Sunday in Vancouver.
Within hours, eggs had been thrown at his home, manure dumped on his lawn and he had been the target of threats.
``We're taking it very seriously,'' said Regina police spokeswoman Elizabeth Popowich. ``I think everyone is really dismayed by this sort of event.''
Popowich said the first call reporting that the kicker's house had been pelted with eggs came in about an hour after the game was over. While McCallum's wife was out cleaning up the mess, a second vehicle used a neighbour's driveway to pull up and dumped the manure.
Shortly after that, another vehicle passed by and the people inside allegedly uttered ``threats against the property of the home owner,'' Popowich said.
She would not elaborate on the threats.
Regina police subsequently charged Mark Conrad Lehmond, 31, with uttering threats. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 15. The investigation continues.
Saskatchewan's politicians even weighed in on the issues, with MLA Glenn Hagel rising in the house to offer McCallum support.
I'm not even a fanatic. In fact, I'm barely a fair-weather fan. In fact, if football is on, I'm likely to change the channel.
But when the playoffs hit and everyone I know is having party's to watch the games, I kind of catch a hint of the 'Rider Pride'. Oh, well, as we seem to say every year here in SK, there's always next year
being a lions fan, i couldn't stop laughing when he missed...17 yards?? are you kidding me?? i knew 1 point in OT was as good as 0, and the game was basically over
it was a great game to watch, i just wish i had ended up going, but all the cheap seats were sold out....
i think it kind of sucks that Toronto beat Montreal because the argos aren't very good...and i think BC, edm, sask are all better teams than toronto.....plus, the lions/alouettes have a decent rivalry going....BC's last 2 grey cup have been against the baltimore/montreal franchise
but its still the grey cup so it should be good
hmmmmmmmmmmm who to pick :banghead:
flip a coin... i guess
Oh well, there is next year
I hope your NFL Picks have better results. I thought of maybe using your week 11 NFL Picks.
I think I just changed my mind
Next year it is and my company is buying season tickets so we get first shot at good Greycup tickets.
SSK vs MTL! Oy! :banghead: :mad:
must be a major corp.
LOL, I sense the sarasm, regardless I will be at the game.
i just thought maybe it's a big company like Rogers Wireless or similar
that books lotsa tix or perhaps a box
congrats
