A must listen for every BC Lions fa!
I am an American and big NFL fan. My wife and I will be in Vancouver in October and plan on watching the Lions play Calvary. While trying to find info about the BC Lions I came across this podcast. Very information. Looking forward to hearing more of the podcast as the season starts. Can’t wait to attend my first CFL game.
I try to listen to this podcast every week but halfway through I turn it off. You can barely hear the host specifically Nick… and yes I have turned up the volume.
Matt, step aside. That was cringeworthy trying to spar with Reilly.
He obviously enjoys it but the whole act doesn’t support the Lion’s brand.
Now that The Leo’s canned my guy Sweet jimmy C. Gonna miss this podcast!! It was simply great!! Another bonehead decision as me Braley has held on to this franchise too long. Time to sell oldtimer.
