I must divulge I am a long time Arizona Cardinals fan, suffering all the way back to the days of Jake "The Snake" Plummer, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown. You'll have to excuse my bias when discussing the latest fad in the NFL and what would appear to be the NFL's darling phenom, Kyler Murray, … Continue reading Kyler Murray and the Allure of the Scrambling QB
With a pretty popular Canadian born CFL player ruffling a few proverbial feathers lately on Twitter, I thought it was a great time to throw a few words together and let you know about Ricky Foley.

Sadly, many players do not survive … Continue reading NFL Players Who Could Make a Return to the CFL
On December 7, 2015, a scant seven days after winning the 2015 Grey Cup with the Edmonton Football Team, Chris Jones threw the CFL into a frenzy after announcing he had signed a three-year deal to become the new General Manager and Head Coach of the storied Saskatchewan Roughriders. Cue the most interesting period in … Continue reading Never a Dull Day: Chris Jones’ Tenure in Saskatchewan Was Always Entertaining
Well, well, well. Here we are folks, our beloved CFL looks to be on the ropes and Iron Mike Tyson has a haymaker lined up and ready to deploy. I do not wish to regurgitate the succinct article written on this site a few days ago, so I’ll say this and move on: the Federal … Continue reading Sunday Thoughts: The Riders 2020 and the CEBL is Stealing the Show
