Cold, grey and raining in Steeltown. Miserable night for a mostly meaningless football game. I’d tell my bookie to bet the under, then fake an ankle injury in the first quarter and watch the rest of the game from a warm, dry lockerroom.

I know as many Machine Gun Kelly as I do Bad Bunny songs (zero) so I guess the Grey Cup show is as big as the Super Bowl show. #NotTheTargetDemographic

Is it still Canadian thanksgiving or did the CFL move that back too to align with the Americans? Happy Thanksgiving to the traditionalists!

Drafted Shane Wright, Marco Rossi, Jamie Drysdale and Cole Perfetti in my NHL fantasy draft tonight. Plus owner Zach Hyman. I may be following the OHL a little too much.

Needed the Packers defence to get me 1.75 points to win my fantasy matchup, instead they got -4. So yeah, I’m ready to declare Dallas the winners of the Parsons trade 😡😡😡

😂

So we doing this?

Couple of stickers that serve as a reminder of why editors are important.

End zones are unreal though 😍😍😍

So this is the fabric they used for the Cardinals jerseys? #TNF #NFL

I’m old enough to remember 🙄

Joe Buck: “the Lions went 98 yards, I think that’s gotta be the longest drive of your career, I don’t think football fields get much longer than that.”

As of today, he’s right 😭

Your daily reminder that the people who only watch NFL will never be won over by rule changes.

They love the NFL because it has the best marketing in the world (24/7, 365 content, their own network, FF & Madden) while the CFL site doesn't have stats pre-2016.

That highlights the real issue

that makes our game more like the American one, even superficially. I don't think the league should cater to Canadians who shit on the CFL for not being like the NFL. Those people are a lost cause.

I really don't like shortening the field and changing the rouge (I'm a purist when it comes to that.)

Being 110 yards is something that makes the Canadian game unique and I don't see the benefit of reducing it.

#CFL

Read the room @cfl.ca. They should have doubled-down on what makes the Canadian game unique and called it “Elbows up”. A lame marketing initiative would have been a million time better than giving us a D-list version of American ball.

What's impressive is that the CFL has never had inspiring commissioners, but otherwise hasn't had a *bad* commissioner. But hey, congrats on Johnston for now being the shittiest commissioner.

Sorry Rob Manfred, you're going to have try harder going forward.

The CFL will be using golf scoring for this year, lowest score wins. Redblacks are now leading the league.

Keep in mind that this chart is actually misleading because the questions coming out of the Trump administration are like “can we violate at will this longstanding, clearly written fundamental constitutional right?” and that’s what Alito and Gorsuch are agreeing to 95% of the time.

Daughter: “Dad, why did you put my toy horse on that shelf?”

Me: “It’s stable”

Her: 😐

Crum threw it away on 3rd down… and it worked out 😂😂😂

This Labour Day I’d like to apologize to all workers because I just know the second I retire they’re gonna implement 4 day work weeks, so sorry you all have to wait.

Anyone order a game-tying kickoff rouge to send the game into OT?

Calgary does it!

I whole-heartedly disagree with the City of Ottawa administration's decision to mandate a full return to the office for City staff on Jan. 1. I wasn't supportive when federal public services were forced back into the office, and I certainly don't support it now.

Must see tv! Goldenhawks @ Gryphons tomorrow at 6pm.

I know I’m beating my personal hobbyhorse here, but not going for 2 when down 8 (after the first touchdown) was also egregious. Ended up not mattering but they blew a chance to put themselves in a position to win in regulation.

😭😭😭

Going for 2 down 8 points: Packers pull off come-from-behind win thanks to this strategy The Packers profited from being the first team this season to try this unconventional 2-point conversion attempt. Here's why others should follow their lead.

Hey Bob Dyce. Gotta go for two down 8. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite them. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Interesting colour scheme… Travis Kelce being traded to the Dolphins? #confirmed #easteregg #FinsUp
