Special Guest Host Andrew Hoskins (Turf District Podcast) joins to discuss the Elks three-game winning streak, the aerial circus that was played at BMO Field between the Argonauts and Lions, how Calgary is surprising the league and whether the Stampeders can maintain their pace.  Three games make up Labour Day "Rivalry" weekend, does Montreal vs Ottawa deserve an inclusion?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission; podcast recorded August 24, 2025).

Quarterbacks Caleb Evans and Dru Brown are out with knee injuries.  Micah Awe gets flagged for spearing, why not make the penalty an ejection?  West dominates the East over the weekend by taking all four games.  Ottawa's Dustin Crum makes another 'crumback'.  Calgary hosts Saskatchewan in a huge rematch, can the Roughriders win the seasonal series?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission; podcast recorded August 19, 2025).

An amazing Week 10 of CFL football that provided much drama, intensity, and nailbiting finishes.  Montreal quarterback McCleod Bethel-Thompson struggles again, is placed on the six game injured list; can Caleb Evans right the offence?  What does Edmonton's win in Montreal, BC's in Hamilton mean for each team?  Argonauts' Head Coach Ryan Dinwiddie still wants answers for his team's performance.  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission; podcast recorded August 12, 2025).

A gut-wrenching loss to Hamilton leaves the Elks with more questions than answers.  Hamilton wins their six-in-a-row, is that offence unstoppable when Bo Levi Mitchell is running the show?  Montreal is hammered at home, are they in trouble?  Troonto and Ottawa play in a consequential game this week? Can Winnipeg avenge their two losses to Calgary?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission; podcast recorded August 5, 2025).

Quarterbacks: only Bo Levi Mitchell has played every game up-to-now.  BC's Robert Carter Jr. defies gravity in one of the most amazing interceptions you will ever see. Alouettes win in the final seconds, again.  Hamilton and BC claw back and forth in an amazing football game, highlighted by two Hamilton touchdowns in the last three minutes to win.  Has Winnipeg been knocked down from elite-team status?  Who will play quarterback his week in Ottawa: RedBlacks' Dru Brown and/or Stampders' Vernon Adams Jr.?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express written permission;  podcast recorded July 29, 2025).
