    Logic to it.

    Teams are already signing players to contract extensions, some are not even pending free agents.  Keon Hatcher signs a huge contract with the BC Lions.  The 2026 CFL schedule is out with the season starting on June 4th in Hamilton, keeps three bye weekends for every team.  Play 51, Referee Andre Proulx weighs in with his thoughts on what happened that night in Edmonton.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission; podcast recorded December 8, 2025).

    Interesting combinations (with Andrew Hoskins).

    Andrew Hoskins (Turf District Podcast) is our guest host.  The Argonauts have named their new Head Coach.  There are hundreds of CFL free agents, who might make a big splash if still available in February?  Rules: Commissioner Stewart Johnston's suite of changes still leaves questions.  Whither to opt out...  would a new television deal open up the contract beween the CFLPA and the CFL?  (CFL on CBC opening theme used with express permission; podcast recorded December 1, 2025).

    Genuine release of joy.

    The Saskatchewan Roughriders win their fifth Grey Cup 25-17 in a great contest in Winnipeg versus Montréal Alouettes.  Montréal quarterback Davis Alexander reveals he has had a grade 3C tear of his hamstring but has impacted him throughout the season and the 112th Grey Cup.  Montréal quarterback Shea Patterson fumbles near the Roughriders' goal line leaving many to question a quarterback sneak on second and two.  Roughriders celebrate their championship victory with a parade down the Green Mile in Regina on Tuesday.  (Grey Cup audio courtesy TSN, CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permision, podcast recorded November 18, 2025).

    It's a saw off.

    It is CFL Grey Cup Week: Montreal vs Saskatchewan in the big game in Winnipeg.  Ryan Dinwiddie takes over as Ottawa Head Coach and General Manager, will Mike O'Shea take over in Toronto?  BC Lions still think they did not lose the Western Final after looking at screenshots of the Tommy Nield catch.  Hamilton quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell ponders his future after a devasting loss to Montreal in the Eastern Final.  Who wins the 112th Grey Cup?  It's too close for us to really call, tune in Sunday November 16 to watch the Grey Cup on CTV, RDS, or TSN to find out.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission from the CBC; podcast recorded November 11, 2025).

    Deserves recognition.

    Alouettes end the Blue Bombers' consecutive Grey Cup run: Montreal, despite allowing 17 points in the early third quarter, find away to defeat WInnipeg in the CFL East Semi-Final.  BC's Sean Whyte kicks a last-play 43 yard field goal to help the Lions get past the Stampeders in the CFL West Semi-Final. Hamilton has won all five East Final games versus Montreal since the East Conference went to a single-game final in 1973.  Roughriders play their first home CFL West Final since 2019 and first ever versus the Lions since the West Conference went to a signal-game final in 1971.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with written permission, podcast recorded November 4, 2025).
