From May 7, 1962, edition of @globeandmail: an ad touting the ad reach of @TheSpec. According to the copy, 95.7% of Hamilton read the Spec in those days. This is wild on multiple levels.

This is great, but why didn't Hockey Canada make that call itself?

The goal/push isn't to get the two best teams; it's to deliver maximum engagement, drama, & compelling games for the most fans. An 8-seed having to win 4 straight elimination road games isn't a flaw in the system—it’s a recipe for incredible TV.

Janarion Grant had a late fumble on a punt return in the #Argos’ playoff loss, and it took him over an hour to take his pads off postgame. Here’s what Pinball Clemons told me about why he stuck around to sit in the locker room with Grant, @3DownNation: 3downnation.com/2026/11/01/t…

At 5:08 p.m. local time, Toronto Argonauts returner Janarion Grant finally stood up and took off his shoulder pads. 64 minutes had passed since the conclusion of his team’s season-ending 25-22 East...

"This was the combination of a dozen or so mistakes and poor decision, without one of which, the result may have been different." This is also bang-on. So many plays and decisions that contributed to this outcome.

Very well said. But like all losses, this didn’t come down to that one thing. This was the combination of a dozen or so mistakes and poor decision, without one of which, the result may have been different.

"Argos absolutely should have won, but they absolutely didn't deserve to" is precisely correct.

Winnipeg 25 - Toronto 22. The Argos absolutely should have won, but they absolutely didn't deserve to. Major mistakes, questionable decisions, a devastating scoop-and-score, and an injured QB. JB and I break it all down. Watch here! #Argos #Bombers #CFL youtu.be/1HHlY0OHpNU

A brilliant well-researched book that really captured both the facts and the "feel" of a really exciting period in CFL history.

For three decades the Toronto Argonauts were a national joke: a team that not only lost most of the time, but usually did so in embarrassing fashion. The franchise bottomed out in 1981 with just two...

Whatever do you, if you haven't already... BUY THIS BOOK. An incredible, eye-popping, behind the scenes look at the '91 Argos, and the man at the center of it all 🚀🚀

The Chad Kelly contract has sparked memories of Rocket Ismail signing the biggest contract in football (not just @CFL, but all of football) history. Anyone interested in knowing more can check out my book Year of the Rocket. sutherlandhousebooks.com/pro…

So we ended up with 2.2 more offensive snaps per game. That's well below the 5-10 I had hoped we'd get with the new clock rules.
