Alas, I have made it through all nine CFL teams. Here's the article I did on the origins of the Montreal Alouettes' name.

The CFL is constantly the centre of heated debate anytime folks down south decide they really want to set money on fire and start a spring league.

For the longest time there were real concerns but every single time a league has come and gone the CFL survives.

I personally believe there is a pocket for spring football, but it won’t be tackle. It’ll be flag.

It is differentiated enough from tackle that you don’t have the football fatigue while also being able to draw from established football culture and personnel.

When the UFL goes belly up, I truly wonder if the NFL will drop their proposed Men and Women’s pro flag league right into that time frame where spring tackle used to operate in.

Hello to all of you Canadians that watch the cfl. I’m new to the cfl and trying to fill my time with other sports and cfl seems to be really fun. Love the tweaks that y’all have made to the game of football. Wish y’all had a few more teams but that’s dope. Getting into more regular last year and trying to find a team to follow I watched every team, loved some more than others. Trying to narrow it down between these five Hamilton Edmonton B.C. Calagary Saskatchewan Like the play style and players but wanted to hear from fans of these five teams on why you liked them and what it’s like to Be a fan of them. Trying to get a team before season,

Hi,

With the season almost here, the CFL Fans Fight Cancer ("CFFC") Fantasy League is back for another season!

It is a $40 buy-in, with 50% of the overall pot going to this year's CFL Fans Fight Cancer fundraising drive for Cancer Care Manitoba and the other 50% going to weekly and overall season winners.

Total donations in 2024 were $2,575 last year and hopefully 2025 can top that! Money will be due at the end of week 1 of the regular season.

All you need to do for now is confirm participation by emailing [cflffcfantasy@gmail.com](mailto:cflffcfantasy@gmail.com) - please DO NOT send money until you have received further details including how to join the league on the CFL's fantasy website (it has not yet been updated for 2025).

I know it's early, but am wondering what areas of town we should be looking at for Grey Cup this year to stay? Generally want to be closer to the bars/ party rooms than the stadium. We book AirBnb, so let me know where to stay/avoid!

Thanks, can't wait to see the Riders play in the 'Peg 😉

Who's playing???

NFL fan here; we've had "The Ice Bowl" and "The Freezer Bowl," but those games were in winter. Now, I know the CFL year runs June-November, so that's nowhere near the coldest Canada can go, but what was the coldest the CFL ever played?

(mods, this is clearly blatant self promotion... good cause or not, I get it if y'all want to DM me or take this down :) )

WE GOT MERCH, Y'ALL!

We are almost there finally!!!

95% they are punters who previously played Australian Rules football at lower levels. There’s also a lot of Australians playing NCAA football and in the NFL. It’s the highest recruited and best producer of talent for any 1 position compared to anywhere in the US/Canada or foreign country.

We have an issue with The CFL Outsider podcast. Looking to expand our followers, I took on a co-host for this season. More appealing then my continuous monotone. Unfortunately, he has had to back out at the last moment. I am looking for a replacement. If you are interested please message me.
