BC Place Stadium

Nick Demski sat slumped in his locker, staring off into space. “It sucks,” the Winnipeg Blue Bombers slotback said in a voice barely above a whisper. Big offensive lineman Patrick Neufeld heaved a deep sigh. “It’s awful, devastating,” he said, running a hand through his thick beard. Head coach Mike O’Shea tried to explain the […]

There were no excuses, just an apology from Nathan Rourke. A frustrated and downcast Rourke took the blame for the BC Lions’ lacklustre 20-11 loss against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Canadian quarterback’s first game back in the CFL on Sunday. “I want to publicly apologize,” Rourke said in a clear and steady voice. […]

Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 451 yards and his B.C. Lions handed the Saskatchewan Roughriders their first loss of the season Saturday, downing the visitors 35-20 at BC Place.  The result saw B.C. (5-1) extend its win streak to four games. Saskatchewan (4-1) came into the game as the CFL’s only remaining undefeated team.  It […]

I’ve been struggling all week with this, folks. I’m hoping that one of you can clarify something for me. As a former CFL pro turned Colour Commentator/Analyst, I’m getting the uncomfortable feeling that I’m the only one outside the locker room who feels good about the chances of the Riders going 1-0 this week in British […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are 4-0 to start the CFL season. The last time they started 4-0 was in 2013. I don’t think I need to tell you what happened that year. Even people who are new to the province know what the Riders did in 2013. Some learn about the 2013 Riders immediately after they memorize […]

Vernon Adams Jr. rushed for three touchdowns lifting the B.C. Lions to a 41-30 win on Saturday over the Calgary Stampeders and a berth in the CFL’s West Division final. The Lions quarterback went 28 of 39, throwing 413 yards and two touchdowns in addition to the ones he punched in himself. The Stampeders opened […]

The Calgary Stampeders pulled off a huge road win over the B.C. Lions two weeks ago to save their season. Now, the Stampeders (6-12) will need to replicate that feat against the Lions (12-6) on Saturday in the CFL’s Western Semifinal at B.C. Place in Vancouver. “We’re not overconfident, but we’re excited to have the […]

The pre-season is done.  Next time, the points matter. The Saskatchewan Roughriders wrapped up their pre-season schedule, with a 20-18 loss to the BC Lions in Vancouver. Cody Fajardo looked confident, and cool moving the offense in the first few series of the game.  The Riders starter led the team downfield to match a first […]

The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be wrapping up their 2022 pre season schedule with a visit to the “left coast”, and a date with the BC Lions. Riders Quarterback Cody Fajardo will be playing, and joked […]
