In Canada, Beware Of Flying Footballs To The Face During Footwork Drills
Taylor Renaud, a former wide receiver for Nova Scotia's Acadia University, is here to teach us this valuable lesson.

No Matter How Hilarious It Would Be, Tim Tebow Will Never Play In The Canadian Football League
With Rex Ryan engaged in a hilarious, semi-silent standoff with management over Tim Tebow's playing time, or severe lack thereof, there's been some speculation, idle thus far but growing in volume, that Tim Tebow's last best option for playing professional football, once his underwhelming tenure wit...
CFL Team Puts Yule Log On Stadium Video Board; Four People Call Fire Department
The CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders have been getting into the holiday spirit.

Beer Of The Week: Big Rock Brewery's Honey Brown Lager
This weekend the Canadian Football League season culminates with a game called the Grey Cup, in its 100th incarnation.

Edmonton QB Matt Nichols Suffered A Horrific Injury During Today's CFL Playoff Game Against Toronto

CFL Player Returns Missed FG 129 Yards For A Touchdown
Trent Guy has had an interesting career. The Louisville WR was shot in the back at a club in 2008, during a fight with a man who groped his fiancée. He went undrafted, and was signed by the Raiders, Panthers, and Panthers again, but was cut during training camp each time. Yesterday may have been h...
Stephen Garcia Might've Lost His Fourth-String CFL Quarterback Job To Jordan Jefferson
Stephen Garcia, formerly of South Carolina, formerly of Steve Spurrier's shit list, attended an open tryout for the CFL's Montreal Alouettes this spring. He impressed enough to earn a contract, which put him solidly fourth on the Als' depth chart....
Desperate For Live Programming, NBC Sports Network Turns To Canadian Football
When NBC announced it would be rebranding Versus as the NBC Sports Network, some people thought it might be able to rival ESPN as the nation's premier 24-hour sports network. Well, so much for that. Aside from the NHL, NBCSN doesn't have broadcast rights for any major sports. That's about to change...
Watching Your Quarterback Throw The Game Away With A Minute Left Is Enough To Cause A Serious Headache
Up by 12 with three minutes remaining, the Calgary Stampeders seemed a lock for a win over Montreal last night. A quick Alouettes touchdown followed by a boneheaded interception by Stampeders QB Kevin Glenn —we called it, at the time, Favresque— with a minute remaining that had even the CFL's websi...
Watch Ex-Canadian Football Greats Joe Kapp and Angelo Mosca Brawl As Only Old Guys Can: With Canes
As you can see, ex-CFL stars Kapp and Mosca came to blows during an alumni luncheon during Grey Cup Weekend.

Last Night's Winner: Quarterback In A Bra!
In sports, everyone is a winner-some people just win better than others. Like CFL QB Henry Burris, photographed wearing a bra, with a woman who's not his wife. Oh, and the pictures fell into the hands of the fanbase he spurned....
Hey Football Fans, Quiet Down A Little
According to an opinion piece in a major newspaper, you really shouldn't cheer so loudly at games. The other team can't hear their quarterback's signals, and that's not fair....
