Why Casey Printers is a bad quarterback

Casey Printers was involved in one of the most interesting seasons in the past 20 years of BC Lion football.
In his second season, I remember going to a pre-season game where he absolutely dominated Edmonton. I thought to myself “damn, it’s too bad this guy won’t even play this year.”
Then something happened that Lions fans [...]

Putting up points: Burke taking pressure off winless Leafs

It’s back, and just like Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke, it could be genius or it could be disastrous. It’s another edition of Putting up Points.

As if anyone cares about a Toronto-based sports team, the Maple Leafs are in Vancouver to tackle the Vancouver Canucks [Saturday] night at General Motors Place.

Murphy leaves Lions toothless

With the Canadian Football League schedule set to kick off in a little over four months, the B.C. Lions have made the unlikely switch from a king of the jungle to a cub.
Earlier this week, the Lions lost another one of those players that gave the entire team its reputable swagger as offensive lineman Rob Murphy’s quick [...]

Canucks, Lions look more like economy

If the religion of Wicca believes in the Law of Three, then the B.C. Lions and their thousands and thousands of faithful followers will want to believe in the Law of Four.
In three regular season games this year against Western Division rivals the Calgary Stampeders, the Leos have gone 0-3. And while they may well [...]

Putting up Points: Wake-ing up the defence

Much like the Calgary Stampeders did against the B.C. Lions last Saturday, here is another addition of Putting up Points.
Following the conclusion of Saturday’s 41-30 loss to the Calgary Stampeders to end the CFL regular season, the B.C. Lions defence looked beaten up, worn down and devoid of anything that resembled what most experts around [...]

Lions and Roughriders set battlegrounds

It seems as though every year when the Canadian Football League playoffs roll around, it’s the B.C. Lions having to go to war against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
This year is no exception, as the two, bitter rivals will go head-to-head this Saturday for the right to face the West Division regular season champs from Calgary.
The only [...]
