"43-yard connection with no tariff required."

POWERFUL throw for Canadian @wilfridlaurieruni.bsky.social QB Taylor Elgersma in the Senior Bowl game!

Happy 55-Yard Line Preservation Day!

This was one of my favourite Pods in a long time. Great interview and insight with Tim Kroeker, a man at the center of the action but completely unknown. Excellent work Third Down Gamble. Highly recommended listen.

This feels like the perfect Blue Bombers tailgate truck waiting to happen.

Feels like 2024 was the year of the 🍁QB and the beginning of an era. I’d love @3downnation.bsky.social to do a podcast series with the 🍁Seven:

Taylor Elgersma
Tre Ford
Kurtis Rourke
Nathan Rourke
Brett Rypien
Christian Strong
Dimitrios Synodinos

7 unique paths to pro ball.

Just an FYI www.ebay.ca/str/collecti... has game used XFL 2001 jerseys. Probably missed a few but there’s a number of CFL relevant:

B Beaton
M Coleman
E Guliford
J Himebauch
J Kellogg
M Kiselak
P Lacoste
K Malveaux
P McCallum
R Murphy
Y Murphy
F Perry
N Prefontaine
C Shelling
B Singh
B Williams

I’m certain none of the yahoos calling for NFL teams to be relegated to the CFL understand how that works. At this rate all of the playoff teams would be promoted. I’m really hoping for a Lions/Lions match up on the schedule…

Did a 60-40 blend between charted accurate throw rate (PFF) and my completion percentage over expectation model to get a little accuracy composite. This is the 25 draft class + rank among 95 QB prospects since 2017. Shedeur Sanders, Carson Beck and Kurtis Rourke in the top 10

Already moving on up.

Says something when a former employee has multiple offers to choose from and they basically get to pick one of their dream jobs.

This New Years Eve, allow me to introduce you to the edge-of-your-seat excitement that is the Canadian Football League.

Note for the uninitiated: A touchback awards the other team 1 point, know as a "Rouge"

@cflfanuk.bsky.social if you like a little alternate history you could also check out Gridiron Cup 1982 a.co/d/gRCuhuz. It takes the premise of the games played in the Uk during the war being the start of a World Cup level international tournament.
