THEN PROCEEDS TO MAKE EXCUSES. “I just wish I would have taken some time off, maybe a game or two, and then just get back to 100 percent and go out there feeling like myself again. The COVID game didn’t help me at all, either. My knee, it helped a little bit but … I lost a lot of weight that I was carrying that can help protect me taking hits.” FFS. Worst. Attitude. Ever. I dont recall a team leader ever, making so many excuses and poor me, and blah blah... I never want this guy near our team unless he's being driven in to the turf via QB sack.

Bomber_fanaddict Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I saw this coming when Rourke wept into Burnhams arms after the West final. I think he felt bad for not helping Burnham to a cup before retiring. http://Lions receiver Burnham retires after eight-year career https://www.tsn.ca/1.1889437 blue_gold_84, MOBomberFan, Bigblue204 and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely up there and always played the right way and came across as a good guy. Congrats on a great career- wish he came here in 2021, but cool he played his whole career with BC. The league needs player stability like that. HardCoreBlue, Bigblue204, rebusrankin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted December 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Love seeing the Lions get weaker, but definitely had a lot of respect for BB16 throughout his career.

Stickem Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 yeah....we went hard after Burnham but his stuborness to remain in black and orange was too strong and his ring undoing.......Thought he was the best receiver in the league a couple of yrs. back BUT not Milt good....Leo's will now be going hard after Lawler methinks Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Great player Burnham. Helps the Lions with their cap if Rourke doesn't bolt. Not sure they have the $ for Lawler, need to pay their QB more than 75k next year no matter who he is. HardCoreBlue and Wideleft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 Will always remember our home game vs. BC in the great 2016 turnaround season. Nichols was in peak form -- he caught a TD pass from Rory Kohlert! Denmark was continuing his great comeback season, Fogg and Leggett were making big plays all over the field. We won, but BC gave us a hell of a game, largely because Burnham played ludicrous. He put 200 yards on us that day, we could not deal with him. Just dominating. Good luck to him with his next chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that was the year we were putting a beating on B.C. in the playoff game until momentum switched when Loffler decimated Burnham and B.C. went on a run and we decided to kick a long field goal instead of go for it on 3rd and 5! Fun year, disappointing result. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
