How Good Is the CFL This Year?

I turned on the end of the BC-Calgary game on Friday to see a wicked back and forth tussle ending with the new (?) overtime format where the teams play two “mini-games”, each team starting at their opponent's respective 35-yard lines with regular rules in place to as they attempt to score.  The game ended […]
