I've watched a lot of games on TV in Ottawa where it was pouring rain & the home team was getting blown out. Bad combo for ticket sales #CFL

Top scoring team in the league Lost 4 games by 4 points or less Lost a game they had a 18 point 2nd half lead in Tough to be on the outside looking in at the playoffs, but they had their chances, couldn't finish. Talented group, looking for better results next season. #CFL

I continue to be baffled that so many see a game with 3 downs, unlimited motion, 12-players aside, no fair-catch, 65-yards wide and one-yard off-the-ball as “Americanized”.

GOOD-BYE 55 - This week marks the final week in the CFL regular season which means it will also be the final time we see a couple unique features of the league, that will go away next year due to incoming rule changes. More from @TSNDaveNaylor: tsn.ca/cfl/video/2026/10/22/…

Yes, I know it is ancient. But when the crowd is roaring and the horse is galloping, still a neat venue.

The Calgary Stampeders are the first CFL team to score 600 points in a season since they last did so in 2010. It's Calgary's 8th 600-point season, the most in CFL history. At their current pace, the Stamps would finish with 635 points, the 3rd-most in franchise history. #CFL
