The Den Report, Lions beat 'Riders, now 2-4
Posted August, 10 2009 6:01 PM
It took six weeks, but the B.C. Lions were finally able to put forward a complete effort in their 35-20 win over Saskatchewan last Friday.
But it was their play on defense that won the game for the Lions. Six Saskatchewan turnovers - three picks and three fumble recoveries - turned the tide for the Leos.
The Den Report, Logan impressing in NFL camp

Kicking off this week's Den Report is a sighting of former Lion Stefan Logan, who led the Lions in rushing with 889 yards and caught 52 balls out of the backfield in 2008. The scatback is having a strong start to training camp with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.
Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin was impressed with what the 5-foot-7, 180-pounder can do in receiver sets as well.
The Den Report, Lions sign three

There's not a whole lot left to say about the B.C. Lions in 2009 that hasn't been said already. The team has been a disappointment on the field, and a 30-18 loss to the perennially-woeful Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday plunged the team to 1-4 and the basement of the CFL West Division.
The offense was mediocre, the defense was shredded by 28-year-old rookie running back DeAndra' Cobb, who has 267 of his 325 career rushing yards against B.C. and all three of his touchdowns against the Lions this season.
Everything I like is bad for me
Posted by Ken Alexander - 100 Mile House Free Press • July, 30 2009 2:55 PMThis past week has been a bit depressing. Reports have come out about iced coffee drinks, sun tanning booths and talking on cell phones while driving.
I kinda like doing those things, and now I feel like a bad person. Or a yuppie ditz.
I'm addicted to iced coffee drinks.
There isn't a Starbucks in my town (can you believe it?) and I don't particularly like coffee (I've never had a cup of the black goo in my life), but chocolate and coffee create a perfect, harmonious union of yummy in my mouth.
The Den Report, Stopping the presses on Printers; Ebell released

It's been a quiet week in the B.C. Lions' camp, with the team buckling down for serious workouts after getting off to their worst start since 2004.
With the Lions at 1-3, a small but vocal group of restless fans have been calling for the return of 2004 CFL Most Outstanding Player Casey Printers, who was jettisoned by Hamilton after struggling over parts of two seasons with the Ti-Cats.
