Travis Lulay Is A Social Butterfly!

McCallum seeking trade from Lions
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: Bitterness. Anger. Disappointment. Of all the emotions Paul McCallum displayed on Monday, frustration seemed to be at the very foundation of all of them. The veteran B.C.

Rough start to much for Argos in BC Place
Courtesy Toronto Star: The Argonauts arrived here an extra day early in hopes of beating both the B.C. Lions and jet lag. Based on the way the Argos played in the first quarter last night, they could have saved themselves the extra hotel costs. The Argos couldn’t overcome a disastrous start and fell 23-17 to [...]

Will Casey Printers return to the B.C. Lions??
Courtesy Vancouver Sun: Never say never. It’s a tried-and-true philosophy adopted by many in the wacky world of the Canadian Football League. Good thing, too. Take three months ago at the B.C.
