Long live the CFL

[Johnny Makarov]

TSN does not get enough credit for saving the CFL.

[Erick Estrada]

Summers for me certainly wouldn't be the same without the CFL. I feel Canadians sometimes take the league for granted.

Any word if any of the bigger name training camp cuts have ended up anywhere? Kadeem Carey, Cam Dukes, Hakanavanhu?

I haven't seen anything as of yet - These guys might have to bide their time for a bit, but we all know that once the injury bug strikes, they will likely get a call.

[Johnny Makarov]

This is crazy how little they get paid and with no guaranteed contracts...

There are nine quarterbacks and 27 players at other positions who will earn $200,000 or more in hard money in 2025. Here they are broken down by position.

Offensive linemen (nine): Ryan Hunter, Drew Desjarlais, Mark Korte, Jermarcus Hardrick, Brandon Revenberg, Peter Nicastro, Dejon Allen, Zack Williams, and Liam Dobson.

Receivers (eight): Kenny Lawler, Justin McInnis, Justin Hardy, Nic Demski, Tim White, Eugene Lewis, Kurleigh Gittens Jr., and Reggie Begelton.

Defensive linemen (six): Robbie Smith, Mathieu Betts, Jake Ceresna, Folarin Orimolade, Mustafa Johnson, and Willie Jefferson.

Linebackers (two): Wynton McManis and Tyrice Beverette.

Defensive back (one): Tyrell Ford.

Running back (one): Brady Oliveira.

[WideReceiver]

Especially for the American players, many of whom live in the U.S. and spend Greenbacks.

[Erick Estrada]

Definitely playing for the love of the game in a lot of cases. These guys are putting their bodies on the line for in some cases not really a lot of money in USD.

I heard that they're going to try and bring back greats throughout the season and Garcia being one later on - scheduling is always hard.


I saw on the Stampeders socials that they'll be part of an autograph session in the East parking lot from 3-4 on Saturday

it's great to see Wolf here in the off season. I think he was one of the 1st Flames to be at Johnny's memorial at the Dome.

It's great to have football again! The NBA playoffs have been great this year but nothing beats football!

The Redblacks made that opening TD drive look pretty easy.

Meanwhile, the Riders field goal execution takes a page from the Keystone Cops lol

[dash_pinched]

Ruh Roh, the CFL defensive player of the year Rolan Milligan is down on the turf for the Riders.

Edit: He did walk off the field under his own power, so that's good news.

[dash_pinched]

Riders lead 14-7 as the offense has come alive after a slow start.

[dash_pinched]

Ottawa needs an answer here as the Riders have opened up a 24-7 lead.

[Paulie Walnuts]

They still don’t have stats lol

[dash_pinched]

Ottawa cuts the Riders lead to 5 with a little over 4 minutes left in the game. The two point conversion failed thus it's 31-26 Riders.

[dash_pinched]

Redblacks with a great strip and it's first down Ottawa at around the Riders 50 yard line.

Edit: Quick 2-and-out and Ottawa forced to punt.
