Episode 147: Jordan Williams and Farhan Lalji

What a world we’re living in right now with the Covid 19 pandemic. I never thought we would be interviewing the CFL’s first overall draft pick and talking about the survival of the CFL in the same episode.

However, that’s exactly what we’re doing in Episode 147, as we welcome the BC Lions newest linebacker Jordan Williams to the show to get his thoughts on the Lions trading up to get him, what type of player Lions fans can expect to see, and the fact that given his choice, he’d rather be a running back.

We’ll then welcome back TSN’s Farhan Lalji to talk about the Lions off-season as well as the challenges that lie ahead for the Canadian Football League.

Out of isolation and into your ear buds, welcome to Episode 147, brought to you by JR Football and Metal Rocks.

Episode 146: A Chat With CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie

Episode 146: Randy Ambrosie

Well, I finally got around to posting this. Sickness, self-isolation and dealing with Covid 19 ramifications at work delayed it.

Just over two weeks ago I was invited by the BC Lions to their practice facility in Surrey to have a one on one chat with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie.

He talked about his tour across Canada, CFL 2.0 year two and answers some of your questions.

It’s an abbreviated episode and I’m flying solo without Mojo, but given our current situation in the sports world I am happy yo bring you 20 minutes or so if CFL talk.

Thank you to the BC Lions for the invite to chat with Randy!

Episode 145: Rick Campbell and Justin Renfrow

The Pawdcast is back to kick off Season 8 of the show and we’re coming in hot with Rick Campbell, new head coach of the BC Lions and offensive lineman Justin Renfrow, who helped improve the Lions offensive line last year, and is a pending CFL free agent.

We also announce our new sponsorship partnership with Justin and his non profit clothing line, JR Football.

Rick Campbell talks about being a kid during the Eskimos dynasty years, building a program from scratch in Ottawa and how excited he is to add the defensive coordinator role to his head coaching title.

Justin Renfrow talks candidly about his community involvement and where those values that are instilled in come from. We also chat about the challenges he faced in college, and the Marshawn Lynch snub in the Super Bowl that he was a part of while with the Seattle Seahawks.

It’s good to be back, Season 8 is going to be great!

Episode 144: Farhan Lalji (TSN)

Episode 144: Goodbye Coach Clay

DeVone Claybrooks was the first casualty of a 5-13 season on Wednesday, as the Lions announced he had been relieved of his duties.

Was he a scapegoat or were there solid reasons for the decision not to bring him back? Ed Hervey hinted there may be, while many fans were not happy with the news.

Farhan Lalji was at the Ed Hervey press conference and stops in to offer his thoughts, and after listening to him, you may feel the answers to the above questions lie a little more in the middle than you thought.

We also take a look at what lies ahead for the Lions as another off-season of uncertainty begins, with potential new ownership, many areas to address with a new coaching staff again, and the roster needs.

Episode 143: Mike “Super Fan” Knutsen of the Eskimo Empire Podcast.

Riding a four game winning streak the BC Lions will be looking to make the noose a little tighter around the necks of the Edmonton Eskimos as they visit Commonwealth Stadium this Saturday.

A win and the Lions stay alive, a loss and they are officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Mike Knutsen, aka “Super Fan Mike”, of the Eskimo Empire Podcast stops by to chat about CFL collectibles, the slump in Edmonton, and what he expects to see this weekend.
