Ed Willes is willing to give self-embattled B.C. Lions defensive stalwart Khalif Mitchell one more chance. But maybe that’s it. Willes and sports editor Jonathan McDonald talk about Mitchell, during the latest Province Sports podcast, but they spend most of their time talking about the NHL lockout. Will things ever be the same? Will the fans pack the arenas, as they’ve always done? And of course, Willes talks about his love of Elvis Costello, and how he almost – almost! – got the Canucks to change their goal song to “Pump It Up.” (“Almost” might be a stretch. They heard Willes’s pleas.) Coming Friday: McDonald hosts Fridays With Steve’s Big Steve Ewen.
