The Brisbane Lions are facing over player commitment. Their AFL championship defense has generated trade talk. Caroline Wilson reported on Lachie Neale's contract.
In the CFL, the Lions host the Montreal Alouettes in Week 3. That game is Sept. 13 at 4 a.m. CET, or 10 p.m. ET Sept. 12. The Detroit Lions prepare for their NFL first game against the New Orleans Saints. Observers say that victory over the Bears gives them something to work with for the playoffs.
