Q2: Do you take it one article at a time? Is it a team effort?BA: The thing with column writing: You have to write one piece, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, until eventually you stop. Heres what I always tell young journalism students in my ongoing attempt to scare away all but the diehards: lets you write the greatest column every written. Its perfect. Its the equivalent of writing the opening minute of Gimme Shelter. It changes lives. You did it.So, what are you writing tomorrow? Because that other column is gone, man.Also, yes, it is a team effort. I dont even write the headlines.Q3: Who is your favourite writer?BA: This right here is what they call a complicated question. Depends what you want: Columnist, features, novels, whatever. In sports, I could make a very long list, but I think the best columnist in North America is Dan Wetzel from Yahoo, who has such incredible instincts, and such a clear mind. I think the most powerful writer in North America is Charlie Pierce from Esquire. And my favourite novel is probably Catch-22.Q4: Is there such thing as tweeting too much?BA: So Ive been told. Q5: What the best article of yours we have never read?BA: Well, depends who you are. But I wrote a couple in university Im not yet embarrassed by: one about womens rugby, which was my first real feature, and one about a womens field hockey player named Jen Dowdeswell, and a couple others. If you havent read my piece about Acron Eger from 2008, that might be it. I still think about him.Q6: Have you inspired any good parody accounts on Twitter?BA: You want a parody account? This is a parody account. Gaze upon it. Its like a perfect oil painting. Q7: Other than you, whos your next favourite Bruce (excluding Wayne)?BA: I guess Willis? I mean, Die Hard alone, right? But my favourite B. Arthur is Bea Athur. She was a grand dame, she really was. Once I showed up at a physiotherapy appointment and theyd listed me as B. Arthur, and the ladies at reception were so disappointed when I showed up.Q8: While you were at UBC, did you ever meet David Suzuki? If so, what did you talk about? If not, can you make something up?BA: Why would I have met David Suzuki? I mean, I was busy, man. I did participate in the APEC protests in 1997 and nearly got tear-gassed, I worked at the student newspaper, I called basketball and football games for the radio station — which had an old Coke machine that contained a million cans of beer and it was a lottery which kind youd get — I met my future wife, all that stuff. The most interesting interview subject I sat down with was the novelist Thomas King, though. We mostly talked about writing. He was very patient, and great. Q9: What is your handwriting like?BA: Deteriorating. I can still pull out neat enough printing that my wife wants me to inscribe the Christmas cards, but my shorthand is basically runes at this point. Funny story: In high school Id walk by the typewriting class, which was a thing, and think, look at those suckers, learning to type. Why would I need to know how to type? Good call, young Bruce, you dummy.Q10: If you were to write a novel, what would the title be?BA: Novels seem hard. Like, youd have to think up character names, for a start. I think the title is probably what youd do last. And youd have to make sure nobody else had used it before. So I cannot answer this until Ive written a novel, which again, seems very hard. Q11: Can you provide us with one picture to judge you by?BA: Heres me as a young man shuffling cards under a tarp in the woods while smoking a cigar Q12: Can you go BarDown?Give enough unbothered time in my driveway with one of the hockey sticks we bought for the kids, sure. I prefer trying to get the ball hung up in the netting by shooting it under the back bar, but Im not sure theres a term for that, though. Jackie Robinson Jersey .

"Im not even sure how you would determine an advantage.Hunt, Hit and Hurt. That is what Weldon Brown, the new strong-side linebacker, says is the motto for the 2013 Saskatchewan Roughriders defence in 2013, better known as the “Wolf Pack.” The definition of a wolf pack is a group of wolves that live, feed and travel as a family group. I love the “Wolf Pack” moniker for the Roughriders defense, as football is the ultimate team sport where the premise is to play and stay together; theres power in numbers. Novelist, Rudyard Kipling once wrote "the strength of the Pack is the Wolf and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." This holds true for any defensive unit in the league but has a bit more significance with the Riders defence this season. Why? Well, GM Brendan Taman, head coach Cory Chamblin, and defensive coordinator Ritchie Hall have assembled a unique group of castoffs from various teams to form an intriguing and extremely talented unit. Case in point, five of the seven interior starters fall into this castoff category. Even two of the backup linebackers, Tristan Black and Diamond Ferri, fall into this category, with Black coming from Toronto and Ferri from Montreal. The only Rider-experienced interior players in Halls defense are Sam Hurl, a second year backup linebacker, and the beloved defensive lineman Keith Shologan, a veteran of six seasons with the Riders. (Note: Tearrius George, two years with the Riders and three with Calgary, is on the suspended list). The three other backup interior ball players are young wolves/rookies to the CFL: Will Davis, Antonio Coleman and Levi Steinhauer.After being deemed not worthy by the Eskimos, Brown comes over from Edmonton where he spent three years as a cornerback. In the Wolf Pack, he is playing the SAM or strong-side linebacker. In the CFL a SAM linebacker has to be a jack of all trades, possessing the ability to cover some of the leagues best receivers, take on pulling offensive lineman/goliaths, and stop the run. SAM linebackers need a combination of finesse and power. Middle linebacker Rey Williams comes back to his old stomping grounds after spending the last two seasons in Hamilton. The once feared alpha male looks to recapture that title within the structure of the Wolf Pack. Rey is a bit more familiar with being a Rider than some of the other newbies as he spent three seasons (2007-09) with the club. John Chick comes back to Riderville after spending three years in the NFL, one with Indianapolis, and two with Jacksonville. Johns a physical and polished pass rusher that brings an insatiable appetite for hunting down quarterbacks. On the other side at rush end is another tremendous “QB hunter” cast aside from his former team, Rickey Foley. Foley is coming to Saskatchewan fresh off a Grey Cup Chaampionship with the Argonauts, where he earned the Grey Cups Most Outstanding Canadian award.dddddddddddd. I say earned because he stepped up big in the championship game, recording four tackles, one special teams tackle, one QB sack and a fumble recovery! Moving into the middle of that interior line you find the addition of Jermaine McElveen. McElveen spent a year with the Ticats after four with Montreal. Hes been productive and often underrated since coming into the league. Great pick up for the Riders! As you delve into the back end of the defense you will find two of the starting five positions are potentially now occupied by players new to Rider Nation. Highly touted man-to-man cover guy Dwight Anderson comes over from Montreal and Carlos Thomas comes over from Hamilton (Thomas was a Rider four years ago in 2009, albeit only for one game). The alpha male of the secondary, starting free safety Tyron Brackenridge, (I had Brackenridge in my TSN Top 50 selections) is new to the position having played SAM linebacker last year and halfback the year before. The flexibility and numerous options that are created defensively with playing Brown at SAM, Craig Butler at WILL and Brackenridge at safety are fantastic. Basically you have two interchangeable parts in Brackenridge and Butler, with Brown giving you that Swiss Army Knife ability in Halls defence. Cornerback Paul Woldu, who is going into his sixth year in the league and second with the Riders, and second year free safety out of the Saskatoon Hilltops program Graig Newman give Halls defence even more flexibility as they can play numerous positions and are both Canadians. Rounding out the secondary is Terrell Maze, Macho Harris and Woodny Terenne, all second year Riders. Prince Miller is the lone true rookie learning how to live, feed, and travel with the group. From what Ive seen in both Brackenridge and Butler is that these players have an innate ability to find the ball and be in the middle of all things nasty. So whatever you may lose by taking arguably the best defender/cover guy in Brackenridge away from the line of scrimmage and playing him at safety, its safe to say Butler offsets by being closer to the mix at WILL linebacker. Im anxious to see "Butts" play an 18-game schedule to see what kind of numbers/food he can provide for the Pack. In week one, we saw the Wolf Pack feast on a weaker Edmonton Eskimos team. They looked hungry and ravenous, determined to come together and dominate as a group. Individually they all looked like they were playing with a chip on their respective shoulders. Collectively they all worked together to Hunt, Hit and Hurt; which makes this group of talented castoffs an extremely dangerous Pack! Howwwwwwwwwllllll!
