B.C. Lions defeat Saskatchewan Roughriders to advance in playoffs
VANCOUVER – The B.C. Lions staged a dramatic comeback on Saturday to defeat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 33-26 in the West Division semifinal, eliminating the defending Grey Cup champions from the playoffs. At halftime, the Lions faced a 17-13 deficit, prompting concern in the locker room. Quarterback Nathan Rourke, reflecting on the team’s resilience, stated, “When things aren’t going our way, that we’re capable of climbing out the hole.”
The Lions, who started the season with a 1-5 record, rallied to win nine of their last ten games to secure a playoff position. On Saturday, they overcame a 14-point disadvantage, with Rourke completing 21 of 32 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns. “We just had to remember what we’re capable of and just try to string a couple of plays together,” he commented.
The Roughriders’ quarterback, Trevor Harris, expressed disappointment after the loss, noting the team’s aspirations for championship success. “A game like this is one that’ll keep you up at night. But it’ll drive you for improvement,” he said. The defeat concluded Saskatchewan’s season after they ended with a 10-8 regular season, equalling the Lions’ record.
Lions’ head coach Buck Pierce praised Rourke for his performance, highlighting a crucial touchdown pass to receiver Jevon Cottoy, who scored on a 70-yard play. “He never ceases to amaze me,” Pierce remarked. Cottoy himself acknowledged that the team’s heads were down at halftime but emphasised the need to seize the moment in the second half.
In a closely contested match, B.C. struck back with consecutive touchdowns after the intermission. They will face the Edmonton Elks in the West Division final on November 7, while the Roughriders must ponder the missed opportunities that ended their playoff run. As defensive back Tevaughn Campbell stated, “It really showed. You could see it on guys’ faces. You could feel the emotion in the room.”

Get you up to speed: Trump lawsuit against Wall Street Journal over Epstein birthday letter dismissed with prejudice
U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in Miami dismissed President Trump’s multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal with prejudice, stating that Trump did not prove the defendants acted with actual malice. The lawsuit concerned a story about a letter allegedly linked to Trump in a birthday album for Jeffrey Epstein.
U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles dismissed President Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal with prejudice on Saturday, stating that the claim did not meet the standard of actual malice required for public figures. A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team indicated that they plan to appeal the ruling, while the lawsuit had previously been refiled after an earlier dismissal in April.
U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles dismissed President Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, ruling that Trump failed to demonstrate actual malice in the defendants’ reporting. A spokesperson for Trump’s legal team stated that they will continue to pursue the matter and are likely to appeal the decision.
What remains unclear — It is uncertain whether Mr. Trump’s legal team will successfully appeal the dismissal of the lawsuit.
Trump’s defamation lawsuit against Wall Street Journal dismissed with prejudice
A multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit by President Trump against The Wall Street Journal over a story reporting his ties to a birthday book for Jeffrey Epstein has been thrown out.
In a 20-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in Miami dismissed the suit with prejudice on Saturday, ruling that Mr. Trump did not prove the defendants made defamatory statements with actual malice.
He said the lawsuit was “grasping at straws” as it attempted to “manufacture” flaws in the WSJ’s investigative reporting.
Actual malice requires that plaintiffs prove that statements made about a public figure were published with the knowledge that they were false, or with disregard for whether they are true or not.
When a case is thrown out “with prejudice,” it cannot be refiled again, and the dismissal is permanent and incontrovertible.
“President Trump will continue to press forward in his powerhouse lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and all of the other defendants,” a spokesperson for Mr. Trump’s legal team told WTX US News in a statement. “The President will continue to hold those who mislead the American People with Fake News and smears accountable for their actions.”
A source familiar with Mr. Trump’s legal strategy said that the decision will likely be appealed.
The lawsuit was over a story the WSJ published last year describing a sexually suggestive letter that the paper said bore Mr. Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
The president dismissed the story as “FAKE” and filed a $20 billion lawsuit against the paper, its parent company News Corp, the company’s CEO, the reporters who wrote the story and Rupert Murdoch, News Corp’s chairman emeritus.
House lawmakers later subpoenaed and obtained a redacted version of the birthday book from Epstein’s estate, which included the letter at the center of Mr. Trump’s lawsuit. Then-White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “It’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.”
In April, Gayles dismissed the lawsuit, saying the president’s legal team failed to clear the legal bar needed to establish their claim. He ruled that the president came “nowhere close” to showing the paper acted with “actual malice” toward him, the standard for bringing a defamation suit as a public figure.
Mr. Trump’s legal team refiled the lawsuit.
