Josh Dhani, thanks to Giants27 of Bleacher Report, is now interested in the Canadian Football League. He will now be the beat-writer of the BC Lions. Thanks for getting me into it, Giants27!


Vancouver, CA—The BC Lions have announced their two new picks to the bulk-o-line. The guys? Martin Bibla and Darren Marquez. Those are the guys who have signed with the squad and look to really help the offensive line.

Bibla looks to easily have a starting job, as he has been in the NFL and Arena Football League. After playing in the NFL for a quite a while, he can pass it on with the Lions. He was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2002 NFL Draft in the fourth round. He played with Atlanta from 2002 to 2005. He ended his NFL career with the Denver Broncos in 2006. He also played in the Arena Football League for the Philadelphia Soul from 2007 to 2008.

Now here he is.

And Bibla looks to have a friend: a guy from the Soul named Darren Marquez.

Marquez will be joining Bibla and Sherko Haji-Rasouli, who played for the Soul in 2007 and 2008, on the offensive line. Marquez joined the BC Lions after being released by my favorite NFL team, the Indianapolis Colts, in the 2008 offseason after not making it to the squad in Training Camp. The native from the city of New Orleans also started 39 games for Southern Illinois from 2005 to 2007.

With these adds, the Lions can improve and they also look to be picking some good players in the CFL Draft. And that's the Lions. More news coming soon!
