Episode 5 - The Anomoly - TJ Lee III

Feb 17, 2026 · 57 min · Ep 5

Episode 5 of Blitz & Bloom features TJ Lee III — 12 seasons with the CFL's BC Lions, two torn Achilles, released and re-signed, and still steady.

But this isn’t about stats.

It’s about identity.

What gets erased when someone is reduced to “football player.”
What leadership looks like when it’s rooted in vulnerability.
What it means to separate performance from peace.

We talk injuries and aging in the CFL.
We talk money and longevity.
We talk locker rooms, blind spots, and fatherhood.
We talk about refusing to be your own opposition.

This episode is about legacy — not how you played, but what you stood for.

Football is what he does.
It’s not who he is.
