VANCOUVER — While clinching a spot in the playoffs is a significant achievement already, the Calgary Stampeders are hungry and still striving for more.

If you can believe it (I can’t), there are only two weeks left in the regular season. It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the return of CFL football back in August. Now we’re facing two weeks of exciting football as we head down the Road to the Grey Cup. The Lions are facing

With some teams’ playoff fates already set, it’s getting to that time of year where pre-postseason rest becomes a factor in setting CFL Fantasy lineups. Winnipeg is the primary concern in Week 15, but that doesn’t necessarily preclude them from having big games as the matchup with Montreal presents some opportunities for them. Without the

It’s been well documented that picking the outcomes of games this year has not been easy. The unpredictability of the CFL is what makes it so special; anyone can win on any day against any team. But as someone who is trying to predict the winner for a weekly CFL.ca column, that unpredictability has made

Looking out the window of his home in Houston, Tx., Reggie Begelton saw a sunny, 26 C-degree day. He already had checked to see the temperature was hovering around 12 degrees in Calgary. As much as Begelton liked the view from home, the sure-handed receiver knew his window for continuing his football career was slowly
