Canadian football

Go back to 2018.

You can check out the article on 3downnation.com when the Red Blacks decided for some inexplicable reason that not even to pay Trevor Harris the boatload of money, yes, pun intended, that Chad Kelly wants, but for some reason the Red Blacks decided not to give Trevor Harris the requisite amount of upfront money, a signing bonus in layman's terms, that he would have liked, to be on the same level as his counterparts in the Canadian Football League and look at the Ottawa franchise since.

So if you're Toronto, you get the deal done and perhaps the deal is done for 2027 and then there's a loose agreement or perhaps an agreement in a drawer somewhere as people behind the scenes and the CFL like to talk about for subsequent seasons 2028 and after when You talk to people around the Canadian Football League, they believe the cap could take a significant jump after that new broadcast agreement money kicks in.

And it's smart from the players and agents standpoint to not sign deals through 2028 to go up to 2027 so you know what the market is because you don't really know until you're going to get there.

I like Edmonton in this spot over the Hamilton Tiger Cats.

And I'm not sure where the reports came.

I'll say 3downnation.com.

I think that's where it was first reported.

Life-altering surgery after having been punched repeatedly below the belt.

You know, I we we talked about it a bit at the on the last show, but Mark Killam has done a spectacular job.

uh, with this team and, and, and his coaching staff, uh, JC Sherrod is running the number one defense in all of, uh, Canadian football, right? Um, Jordan Maximic, they got six touchdowns.

saturday yes one was a punt block but five of them um there were three or four throws for touchdowns and then snyder got a sneak in so like that that's crazy there it's it's kind of jiving on every on every front and and as mark says that's a bleepity bleep three phase win you know that's the uh yeah The score jar must be massive.

Oh, I totally did count.

I think I've got maybe 10.

And 10 years ago when I first got my first one, no one had ever heard of them.

Even people that have written a book on collecting Canadian football had never heard of these things.

Because again, they were very... ephemeral right they were made to be used and thrown out or just on paper so yeah kind of cool items if you ever do find them they're not usually crazy expensive but don't expect to find a whole lot and maybe you'll see two or three every 10 years so

Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rogers ran 58 yards to set up a touchdown.

And Ron Perun returned an interception 60 yards with only 20 seconds left to tonight to give Montreal a 10-7 victory over the British Columbia Lions in Canadian football action.

That win leaves Montreal at 3-3-1.

The Lions are 3-5 and have lost their last three games.

Johnny Rogers, the Heisman Trophy winner.

On a long run to help set up a touchdown as Montreal beats British Columbia 10-7 in Canadian football action.
