The Lions, done for at 10-7, said there was confusion from the sidelines on the defensive call prior to the play.

"Three of them we can burn to charcoal," the big Lion said.

"You will have no time to spare," said the Lion.

But the Lions say that is history now and so are their losing ways.

"Everyone is entitled to an opinion," said the Lion airily.

The Lions say their offer is worth $14 million.

"I know it," said the Lion, hanging his head in shame.

"If we leave her here she will die," said the Lion.

The Big Lion says that every one would get on all right if only he were left alone.

"As for that, we have no business, when our friends are gone," said the Lion.
