Go, BC Lions! Winners of the 99th Grey Cup on home soil!

I don’t follow sports, really, but having been around those who do and being that Vancouver has been my home for some time now… team spirit has naturally developed. This shot was from back in August when I did the “Football 101” class for Ly’s birthday and here, the team was warming up before kickoff on Empire Field (they’ve since moved back to the gigantic BC Place). We got to be on the field pre-game, and the in-class learning was taught by two players and alumni, Jamie Taras at their training facility in Surrey. Taras is a self-proclaimed “runt of the litter,” which we didn’t believe until he introduced us to one of his pals who stood next to him. To add to my fake street cred, I now have a Lions blanket for signing up for a credit card I’ll never use. One simply cannot turn down free swag, whatever it may be… they always taste better, feel better (a half truth).
