Being a BC Lion in the Youtube era

[hexx]

It's funny the things you come across on Youtube these days... in the age of the camera phone and web 2.0 pretty much everything you do in the vicinity of others can be broadcast to people around the world within seconds...

Two clips in particular caught my eye... the first is a trio of 2006 Lions performing worship music at a local church that apparently has such a "BC Lions night" every year. No surprise if you've noticed groups of players from the Lions and opposing teams praying together on the field after games at the dome in recent years... looks like this video was posted by none other than Gilles Colon...

The second one is titled "Grey Cup Shame" and shows another trio of players drinking out of the Grey Cup at a local nightclub. I see nothing wrong in the behavior captured on this video - just some guys doing exactly what they earned the right to do - I'm sure the Cup has been witness to some true debauchery over its many years but this was just someone fishing for a story...

Personally I enjoyed both clips...

edit: link titles were the wrong way around, sorry...

The only shame there is that they wasted all that booze when they tipped the cup over.

How was the 2nd one embarassing behavior? The owner of the video must be a Als fan

They kinda earned the right to do that and they were just partying. Don't we all? They weren't even causing trouble haha.

this one is the best bc lions commercial ever in my opinion
