TORONTO — It’s been a long, long off-season for Vernon Adams Jr. It’s been over a year since he and his Montreal Alouettes were eliminated in the Eastern Semi-Final and, not unlike the rest of the players around the league, the quarterback just wants to get back on the field. With the league announcing a

Defence may not necessarily win championships, as the old cliche goes, but without it, you certainly won’t come close to tasting that victory champagne. Rick Campbell knows all about that.

Anyone who reads this column on an even semi-regular basis (thank you to all who do) knows how much I love “sports hate.” Sports are one of the few avenues in life where we can be irresponsible with our emotions without real world consequences.

Most everyone has learned something about themselves while dealing with COVID-19. When the worldwide pandemic forced the CFL to cancel the 2020 season, Calgary Stampeder receiver Hergy Mayala had a harsh lesson in how something that is a major part of his life can quickly be taken away from him. “It’s been really an eye-opener,”

Imagine running into a fellow CFL fan two years ago at this time and having a conversation about what Zach Collaros’ season would be like.
