Just A Bit Outside: The Premier Vancouver Sports Podcast

This week we pay tribute to an iconic film character, Rachel Phelps from Major League. Actress Margaret Whitton passed away at age 69. After Patrick O'Sullivan blasted Vancouver Canucks and their fans, we take a hard look at what can only be considered a lacklustre fanbase here in Vancouver. We also reflect on the Canucks performance on the ice against the Leafs, the Seahawks dominating performance against the Panthers, and what could be a devestating loss when safety Earl Thomas broke his tibia. In Garbage Time, Geoff and Brendan disagree on the World Juniors and we look back on few lives lost way too soon.

19,176. That's how many people were at BC Place to witness a playoff classic between the Lions and Bombers. We have to ask what is driving the poor attendance for the Lions, as well as other local teams. Where did all the Lions fans go over the past 10 years? Seriously, please tell us.

We look back at the comeback in the West Semi-Final, and Brendan gets excited about the Seahawks big win over the rival Patriots. We touch on the Canucks continued uneven season, and in Garbage Time, we reflect on the 'posse', and rekindle the magic of O Canada, as sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree.

So how about that US election? We've decided we need to sit down and have a talk with you, America. Don't worry though, we do talk about "the sports" as well. The Canucks finally break the streak, although not without controversy. There are some who feel the Canucks should be making knee jerk reactions, but are they just a bad team? We look at Jake Virtanen's demotion, the debacle in Toronto, and what the future may hold. We focus on a winning team next, as the BC Lions prepare for the West Semi-Final against Winnipeg. Can't say enough good things about the Lions this year, so get out and support them! Some final words on the World Series, especially that crazy Game 7, before our worst in Garbage Time, including a salute to those who deserve it most.

In this episode we refer to a certain Vancouver sports personality as a tub of goo for his asinine coverage of the Canucks. Who is it you ask? You will have to listen to find out. We continue to wonder if Jake Virtanen would be better served away from the Vancouver hockey media circus and in the AHL. A new episode means another look at Richie Leone and his trouble kicking field goals and possible help on the way. Plus the show just got a little more "premier" as former Trinity Western University basketball star Too Tall Taylor Heinrichs joins us to discuss how basketball remains so popular with only 3 teams with a legitimate shot at a championship and the state of basketball in Canada. Stay for all that, Brendan's Jeremy Maclin apology and a chance to hear the greatest song in music history.

If you've ever wondered what a football coach does during a game when nature calls, according to a certain Washington Redskins coach it involves fan participation. In this episode we discuss special teams that doesn't involve the BC Lions. That honour goes to the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals and their overtime kicking debacle. We do discuss a solid win for the BC Lions and a good bounce back game for Jonathon Jennings, the Canucks injury issues and their inability to put puck in net. In double coverage we talk about the Blue Jays and Mariners off-season decisions and break down the Cubs-Indians world series.

Geoff would ask that you all remove your hats and have a moment of silence for the Toronto Blue Jays. As you will hear Geoff is "distraught" by the Jays being bounced from the MLB playoffs. What team will Geoff turn his anger towards now? Look no further than the Toronto Raptors! We the North, right Geoff! In this episode we talk about the turnover happy BC Lions, where the parade route should start after the Canucks 3-0 start and the Richard Sherman show that took place in the Seahawks win over the Falcons. Stay tuned for Garbage Time cause we leave you this week on a happy note.

No, not that brown. Get ready to send your hate mail to Brendan, as he rants (and rightfully so) about the CFL badly blowing a review, and how it's a window into the bigger issue the league faces. Since hockey season is finally upon us, we talk Canucks, including what the "experts" at EA Sports think, and if the team will be as bad as the simulator says. We do manage to praise RDS and Dave Van Horne, and wonder why a hurricane isn't a good enough reason to cancel a college football game.
