Another season, another end-of-year wrapup. Once again, the Grey Cup surprised us all, in the best way possible! Before the recap, we'll lead off with the final round of league news for 2024: The 2024 CFL award winners were also announced on Thursday, November 14th, in advance of the Grey

It's the final weekend of CFL action. I'll miss Canadian football greatly when it's done, of course - but I have so much to do between now and May 2025 that I feel like I'm barely going to have time to catch my breath. At least my report cards were

We're down to the final three games of the 2024 CFL season - I certainly hope we have some entertainment left here. I can't think of a better way to celebrate turning 32 this weekend - hope you join me in double-screening your football between JV and CFL action on

We made it! The playoffs are here! It's one of my favourite times of year for football; one of the only things that I don't like about the tweaks to the new CFL playoff scheduling, which was re-introduced last year, is that I can't keep dual-screening NFL RedZone and the

The playoff picture is now almost set - save for two final important games that will determine the winner of the West Division, and an always-valuable first-round playoff bye! We have one "meaningless" week of football - but I do hope all the same that it's mildly entertaining. The final

A quiet week for general CFL stories to share. We'll cut right to the chase and jump straight into it, I think. In league news this week: It looks like Ottawa may have starting QB Dru Brown back this week against Toronto; he suffered what's believed to be an ankle injury

I woke up this morning and didn't have to deal with the flood waters of Hurricane Milton. That makes my week better than a minimum of three million other people's weeks. So that's pretty cool. As always, our best wishes to everyone dealing with this terrible storm right now -

With fall finally settling in and leaves changing colour, football weather - and the resplendent feelings of coziness - have finally settled in at last. This is now the third season of watching sports in my home, and I think the nesting skills have only improved with time. Perhaps it

With five weeks to go in the regular season, there's much to be decided in the playoff picture still. Ottawa and Winnipeg both have a chance to clinch a spot this week, but after that, there's still lots of intrigue still - especially in the chaotic West Division. I look

I didn't get to watch a lot of football last weekend due to a crazy 14-hour roundtrip to go pick up my car at a dealership five hours away from home... between almost being late for a long train ride, a gnarly hill walk, and a key fob with a
