I love when the Sens win and our captain doesn't need to go to the locker room and kiss a framed picture of his older brother

Shoutout to Alouettes Snead for athleticism. He was running about 110% velocity and just missed a pass, stumbled due to the stretch and instead of a dangerous faceplant, did a high speed somersault. Harder than it looks. These guys are good.

3/3 After a 6-hour power crash and 9 hours of solid sleep, my brain has finally reassembled itself and I'm back to 100%. Moral of the story: chew your vegetables like your life depends on it, and if an ER doctor offers you a trip through the 4th dimension at 3:30 AM... brace yourself. BAD TRIP!!!

2/3 Instead of the standard "nice cozy nap" sedation I’ve had for routine procedures, the ER team gave me Ketamine. I woke up genuinely convinced I was trapped inside a shifting, 3D-tiled Rubik’s cube of continuous doom. 0/10 stars for the room décor, 10/10 for medical efficiency.

So, an update on how my week is going: I managed to get a piece of raw carrot so thoroughly stuck in my esophagus on Monday evening that it required an emergency trip to the ER and deep sedation to retrieve it. Yes, defeated by a root vegetable. At my age. 🥕🥴 1/3

They really need to start these OT minigames from the far 50y line. The FGs should be earned.

While I appreciate that, the credit should really go to Steve Daniel, Jeff Krever & everyone @ CFLStats. They collect & produce all the great info. I just upload to a user friendly dashboard that can answer such things quickly & produce fun graphics. They're the engine & driver, I just ride along.

I don’t know if TSN has shown it yet but there’s a group of ten fans a few rows up from the field on the 20 matching the onfield actions of the game official who uses flags to indicate commercial breaks etc etc and I am here for it ❤️🏈🇨🇦. They brought own flags of appropriate colours 😛

Princess Auto does not miss! Rider Nation’s second trip to BC Place is not the first. Week 12 was 30,083. Last night was 24,183. We treated the 29–31k band as the floor. It was the ceiling. Repeat visit tax is real.

It's MASSIVE!!! Not sure if it's the largest increase in type/class of penalty (i can do that analysis overnight) but it has to be! A 100% increase on total & 168% increase on a per game. That's basically going from once every 6 games per team to once every 2.3 games/team!!! That's a 3 Sigma Event

I was pointing out Dru Brown’s fatal flaws before it was cool 😏😎. #cflhipster (That being said, he’s still 10x better than Maier. But he pouted in Ottawa, still had his heart in Winnipeg, and I heard about other “bad teammate” issues from last season)

So, think any of the people outraged at CFL rule changes will calm down when they learn: A) field footprint critical to QC expansion: 🏈+ ⚽️ = viability B) 55 may be saved regardless The number of people leaping to the “obviously this means 4 downs and US expansion” is frankly embarrassing

TVA is reporting that the CFL governors have approved in principle an expansion to Quebec City. This isn’t formal expansion but is a prelude to the big announcement

There seems to be growing insider chatter that the 55 will be intact for the 2027 CFL season and beyond. It doesn’t seem to be just fan rumour.

I heart you Marshall, but in an 8-9 team league, playing in 20% of all tie games isn’t exactly statistically notable 😛. #math!

Bills so far so good. Beating Houston on the road would be a huge boost. Assumption last season was the Bills simply could not beat that D.

Cranky Frank Clair @crankyfrankclair.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I’ve talked for some time now how I love the energy of new breed 🏈 coaches. Young, energetic and positive, they act like the best team captain you ever had. Despite being a former player and relatively young, Dinwiddie’s vibe is “old and cranky”.
