This time of year, one cannot go five minutes on American sports television without someone bashing the NCAA’s Bowl Championship Series. The BCS is the current system that college football utilizes to crown an outright national champion. The BCS has been widely criticized since its inception for various reasons. However, from most Canadians’ point of […]

Like, a comet, like an explosion, out of the ether he came and back into it he went. It was a little over five years ago now that Samkon Gado exploded into the NFL; a feel good story of a guy who fought and ran so hard, and so far and with such bursts of […]

Meaningful football will take place this Sunday, however, it will not involve the Nauseating Football League. Instead, it will involve two teams battling for one of professional football’s most storied titles: The Grey Cup. The 98th edition of the Canadian football championship will occur in Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium and features a rematch of last year’s […]

With the start of the season just around the corner, there’s no better time to dust off my prediction hat and see what the upcoming NFL year has in store. As opposed to giving a full season preview for every team (who honestly hasn’t already read at least half a dozen of those?), I’ll be […]

It hasn’t been the greatest offseason for the Arizona Cardinals and their fans. Two pieces of their defense, Karlos Dansby and Antrel Rolle, left the desert via free agency. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was finally shipped out of town in a trade with Baltimore. And, I almost forgot, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Kurt Warner retired. Now […]
