NorthWest Sports Blog brings you daily features on Oregon, Washington State, and BC amateur and pro sports teams.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Reggie Gill after each week of the regular season and possibly during the CFL playoffs should the Leo’s be so lucky will stop by and bring you his B.C. Lions game balls. Balls are awarded to the Leo’s offensive MVP Ernest Jackson, and on defense this week Adam Bighill. The only reason Bighill won’t get the D game ball next week is because of the bye.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Phil The Bartender Slater weighs in with his Week 6 CFL preview for the BC Lions vs. Toronto Argonauts from Toronto. Tim Brown ranks 4th in return yards but that’s in large part to a defence that forces punts. QB Travis Lulay had a tremendous game in Calgary finding his big name targets with relative ease.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Reggie Gill after each week of the regular season and possibly during the CFL playoffs should the Leo’s be so lucky will stop by and bring you his B.C. Lions game balls. Balls are awarded to the Leo’s offensive MVP Andrew Harris, and on defense this week Adam Bighill yet again. We’re renaming this award. Haha. Paul McCallum was the special teams winner this week.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Phil “The Bartender” Slater brings us his Love Em & Hate Em recap from Saturday afternoon’s match up with the Calgary Stampeders. Read on to hear what Phil says about Paul McCallum. He was as close to perfect as you could hope for. Apparently Calgary has a very thin playbook. Basically it’s 5 run plays and everything else goes to Nik Lewis.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Phil The Bartender Slater weighs in with his Week 5 CFL preview for the BC Lions vs. Calgary Stampeders from Calgary. After the lull in the loss to Saskatchewan, Andrew Harris had a magnificent bounce back game against Edmonton. The Leo’s will need more of this and an upgrade by Travis Lulay and Geroy Simon to get a win in Calgary on Saturday.
BC Lions Insider and northwest sports blogger Steve Lee brings us a good piece on the Leo’s Kierrie Johnson today. Heck of a start to a career for Johnson. He used the biggest game of the season, the 2011 Grey Cup to help showcase his future with the club, completing two receptions for 81 yards, including a 66 yard scamper for the end zone. C’mon and roar you Lions roar.

NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Phil The Bartender Slater weighs in with his Week 4 CFL preview for the Edmonton Eskimos vs. BC Lions from BC Place in Vancouver. The Lions need to shore up their tackling on D, stiffen up the coverage on specials, and find some rhythm on the offence. It’s Brent Johnson night. Be there as #97 gets enshrined in the Ring of Honour.

ON special teams nobody significant stood out except the hellacious coverage units of the Leo’s.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Phil The Bartender Slater weighs in with his Week 3 CFL preview for the BC Lions vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders from Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field in Regina. The upstart Riders are looking to gain a signature victory and hope to do so over the red-hot Lions. We know about Travis Lulay and his run, but let’s not overlook Sasky’s Darian Durant.
NWSB Insider and northwest sports blogger Steve Lee weighs in with his analysis on a NFL vs. CFL matchup featuring the BC Lions and the Seattle Seahawks. It’s just for fun of course. The Lions appear to be far better off than the Seahawks, both in the recent past, present and future. Steve does say comparing the two leagues is kinda like comparing apples and oranges. Travis Lulay vs. Tarvaris Jackson. Marshawn Lynch vs. Andrew Harris. Fun.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Reggie Gill after each week of the regular season and possibly during the CFL playoffs should the Leo’s be so lucky will stop by and bring you his B.C. Lions game balls. Balls are awarded to the Leo’s offensive MVP Shawn Gore, and on defense this week Adam Bighill. ON special teams all night it felt as though kick returner Tim Brown was going to break one, and he did.
