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 [...]

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

Well folks, unlike the Canucks, I’m going to put a few points up on the old board so all of you, particularly the guy that runs this website, will get off my back about my scarce postings so far this month.

Should the Lions have replaced starting quarterback Buck Pierce with Jarious Jackson in the third quarter when the Lions were first and goal from just inside the [...]

Calvillo to dissect Eskimos

This piece is dedicated to Audrey Roy, Judith Lavoie, Julie Chagnon and Nancy Smith, my four very good friends from Montreal.
They are, for the most part anyways, very dedicated Montreal Alouette fans.  In fact, me and Ms. Lavoie have a bet going on.  If the Lions win the Grey Cup, Ms. Lavoie must wear a [...]

Lions hope fourth time is the charm

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 [...]
