Summary: Bo Levi Mitchell is back in business. He had his iffy shoulder fixed during the CFL’s pandemic furlough, and he’s raring to QB Calgary toward another Grey Cup. Even though the twice- league MVP is known for his cannon, he takes a back seat to no one in the conversation department. Settling in behind the mic on Player’s Own Voice podcast this week, Bo holds forth on Football in Texas, and his ownership of high school records in that state. He leads us through the highs and lows of his college campaigns. He threw the most interceptions in NCAA one year, and won it all the next. Bo envisions an XFL-CFL future, with gambling, The Rock, and Drake or Biebs luring younger eyeballs back to the gridiron. And he’s all in for the Canadian game, by the way. The big field, three downs, those are sacred once the two leagues get serious about matchmaking. He’s also got a blunt assessment of economics and the NFL...When is major money a major problem? When it scares owners into dangerously slow development of new players. If the second quarterback looks sharper than the 90 million dollar guy? Owners don’t care for looking like they overpaid. Bo Levi Mitchell is a bit of a lightning rod. He’s probably never going to get hugged on the streets of Saskatchewan, but he’s also never going to zip it for fear of riling the critics. And he’s in fine form today.
