CFL Week 3 Recap: Seriously?!
Is it Grey Cup hangover, or are the Toronto Argonauts just snakebit? The Argos remained at home on Friday Night Football against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and it was another uphill battle for the Argonauts. Yet a funny thing happened. Late in the fourth, the Argos made the climb. Down 8, post 3:00 warning. Argos got all the way back. Got the two pointer. Tie game with less than thirty seconds left. Overtime was nigh. We could enter the extra frame with a chance to win it and get off the schnide.

My Thoughts on the NFL's International Games
The 2025 NFL schedule was released over a month ago on May 14, and I took a different approach in comparison to last year. Instead of writing about all of the important slots at once, I decided to divide them into categories. I began with what's described as the most important spot in the weekly schedule, the Sunday Night Football games, and then the focus turned to the Thursday Night Football spot that kicks off the week. For this story, I'll focus on the international games, and to do this properly, I have to give a bit of a history lesson.

CFL Week 2 Recap: Party Poopers
Beautiful, isn't it? I had Saturday, June 14 circled on my mental calendar for one main reason: it was the Toronto Argonauts' home opener, meaning that our championship banner would be raised. The 111th Grey Cup last November was absolutely amazing! It was the Argos against the Blue Bombers again, but unlike the 109th Grey Cup, which the Argos narrowly won in a back and forth battle, last year was a beat down. The Bombers had no answer for the Argos on that evening, and as a result, the Argos were Grey Cup Champions for the league leading 19th time.
