    Why was Edmonton linebacker Nik Anderson not disqualified after his hit on a sliding Vernon Adams Jr.?  How did Hamilton's medical staff allow Tre Ford back on the field after his apparant concussion?  The Elks hold down first place (alone), post-Labour Day, for the first time since 2009.  Football Canada and U Sport will not adopt the CFL-proposed  evised field configurations.  With the game on the line, when do you go for a two-point convert for the win and risk the loss by doing so?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded September 8, 2026).

    Turned the corner.

    Ottawa's quarterback Jake Maeir sets a new record, one he would like to forget.  Jeff Hunt is interested in a return to the RedBlacks as their football President.  The replay centre overturns another fumble based on forward progress being stopped, what makes this type of booth review more accurate?  Toronto misses the chance to call for a last-play challenge for pass interference.  OK Tire Labour Day weekend has a full-slate of important games.

    Before you even get a chance.

    Ottawa RedBlacks bring in Jim Popp to help the team find a new President of the football Club.  Saskatchewan loses their second straight on the road, but sign former Tiger-Cats receiver Shemar Bridges to help and injured and ailing offence.  Winnipeg's Zach Collaros after a hit looks like a beaten man; can his offensive line find a way to protect him?  BC continues to surge, Edmonton is alone in first in the West, and Montreal has the best record in the league.  (CFl on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded Agust 24, 2026).

    Quick Kicks 160: with Steve Daniel (CFL Associate VP, Football and Team Analytics).

    Care and concern.

    Ottawa RedBlacks still searching for their first win, re-organise their front office; Head Coach Ryan Dinwiddie wants his team to focus on the game ahead.   Can grass fields be brought back into CFL stadiums?  Buffalo's new stadium gets roughly 500 complaints from ticket holders over sight-lines. Renderings of the new 2027 CFL field configuration have some season-ticket holders concerned as well.  (CFLon CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded August 18, 2026).

    Feeling of invincibility.

    Winnipeg welcomes back Zach Collaros; Ottawa releases two more veteran defensive players; Chad Kelly throws four interceptions and Toronto wins... again.  Do 'points shown in the standings' matter anymore given there likely will be no more draws?  Commissioner Stewart Johnston has been barely visible as of late, but the CFL season moves forward with record scoring.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded August 11, 2026).

    Square peg in a round hole.

    Can Winnipeg's running back Brady Oliviera and Offensive Coordinator Tommy Condell get on the same page?  Will Winnipeg's defence get on track?  Ottawa fires Defensive Coordinator William Fields and release receiver Eugene Lewis, what is next for the RedBlacks?  Has quarterback Tre Ford played himself out of a starting role with Hamilton?  Think about it... if this were 2027, given the current standing, winless Ottawa would need just two wins to be tied for the final playoff spot.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded August 4, 2026).
