Solomon Elimimian is more than the leading tackler in the CFL.

The BC Lions linebacker is also a capable trash-talker and a professional interviewee. He showcased both talents simultaneously at halftime of Sunday's game against the Calgary Stampeders.

Elimimian was set to begin a halftime interview when he and Stampeders receiver Fred Bennett began a war of words. Microphones only caught Elimimian's part of the shouted conversation, which ranges from on-field topics to how recognizable Bennett is.

Elimimian transitions from the shouting to a nonchalant "what's up?" directed at the sideline reporter, who was waiting patiently off to the side.
