    I can safely say I am on the youngest end of the #CFL media spectrum at 24 and if you think playing 3 downs or having different rules is even among the top 25 reasons the league is struggling with younger audiences, you have lost the plot.

    Reigning CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player Mathieu Betts just obliterated veteran QB Carson Wentz on this sack. #CFL #BCLions #RoarLikeNeverBefore

    I am irrationally upset that after ignoring competent #CFL QBs for the best part of the last two decades, a #NFL team signed our 10th best QB as a rushing gimmick and tried to make him a pocket passer against Aaron Donald, resulting in my favourite thing being endlessly mocked...

    A classic CFL playoff game taking place between the Lions and Stampeders, and this is hanging over the end zone at BC Place. #CFL #GCPlayoffs #BCLions #RoarAsOne

    I hate the way we discuss financial assistance from the government. $150 million looks like a big scary number, but it works out to roughly $4 per Canadian. The cultural and economic importance of the CFL to this country, whether you watch or not, is worth way more than $4.

    Social distancing is just the whole world adopting #CFL kicking rules. COVID-19 is the worst No Yards penalty in history.

    This idea that the #CFL & #XFL should be treated with equal respect is ridiculous. I don’t begrudge anyone for their passions, but one represents 100 years of history and a unique piece of a national culture. The other might make rich people money. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!

    This is an objectively ridiculous deal. I know people who will spend thousands next year to drive to Seattle multiple times and watch Drew Lock stink. There is a better QB right here and you can watch him 7 times for less than your Seattle gas money. #BCLions #CFL

    ICYMI: No, that's not a typo 🤯 You read it right: for only $129.00 you can catch the remaining 7 home games at BC Place! 🏈 Get 'em while they last! 🎟 bit.ly/3I8AzHd *corner inventory is limited

    A certain type of fan loves to pretend that the talent gap between the CFL and NFL is a chasm, but this usually happens a couple times a year. The top 10% of NFL players are in a different stratosphere. Everyone else is mixed up in the middle, waiting for fit and opportunity.

    OneRepublic doesn’t start for another hour and a half but it is already electric outside BC Place. I haven’t seen it like this since I was a kid. Absolutely fantastic effort from the entire #BCLions organization. #CFL #RoarLikeNeverBefore
