Pursue those touchdowns.

The Calgary Stampede might have an answer for a new home for the Clagary Stampeders;  more details are available for CFL player contracts; which CFL records may never be broken?  In 1991, there was a game that had the field dimensions shrunk to accomodate the infiltration of ice into Winnipeg Stadium.

Is that what your end game is?

A fire appears, and is quickly doused, near Gate 2 of McMahon Stadium.  UFL rule changes, is adding extra value to field goals and conversions the best way to engender exciting scoring plays?  A. J. Allen and Darnell Sankey... two defenders relate their difficult choices to leave the teams with whom they were under contract since 2023 (CFl on CB theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded March 2, 2026).
