I love #CFL #referee Ben Major. In tonight's game (Toronto at Calgary) it was a bit of a blowout for Calgary, and partway through the final quarter Toronto put in Nick Arbuckle, their backup quarterback.
As is common for a QB who doesn't get much "real" field time, there were some miscues resulting in flags. And at one point, flags flew, and Major got on the P.A. and called "Offside Toronto - everyone except the center" 😆
This is the same ref that a couple of years ago was calling a game in the Vancouver dome. At some point they had a kickoff and it was quickly whistled dead. He announced on the P.A. "The ball hit the scoreboard. ... Which is weird. We'll reset the clock and re-kick." The crowd got a real kick out of it.
But the best part was the following week, exactly the same thing happened again, with Major also being the head ref for the game. On the P.A. he announced "The ball hit the scoreboard. ... Again. Which is weird" and just about brought the house down.
They ended up raising the scoreboard a few feet after that.

This is complete BS!
The #CFL continues to alienate its fan base and screw them over.
All thse stupid rule changes, field changes, and similar...wtaf?? And now they will provide 25 per cent less games on TV unless you pony up more $$.
Time to consider dropping it from the entertainment agenda.

So, it was the first pre-season game of the 2026 CFL season today - Saskatchewan Roughriders at Calgary Stampeders. Even though one of those teams is the winner of last season's Grey Cup, and both have huge devoted fan bases, TSN couldn't be bothered to cover the game. No broadcast.
They have 5 separate TSN channels on my local TV service. There is rarely more than 2, and virtually never more than 3 different programs spread across those 5 channels. There are always duplicates.
But TSN did carry some idiotic *talk show about the NFL* during today's CFL game.
Jeebus, TSN - could you at least act like you care about Canadian sports once in a while?

Humble Beginnings: The Grey Cup's $48 Start! 🏆💰
Did you know this iconic trophy cost just $48 to make? In 1909, Earl Grey donated a simple sterling-silver chalice on a wooden base. From those humble beginnings, it grew into Canada's most cherished football prize. Imagine what that $48 would buy today! #Canada #GreyCup #CFLHistory #CanadianFootball
I agree completely that the No Fun League is boring and unwatchable, and that these changes - no matter what Stewart Johnston claims is the reason - are trying to turn Canadian football into "NFL Lite" football.
Why? A stupid attempt at chasing dollars, I think. They see the huge Canadian NFL audience and think they can change the Canadian game, and that audience will then come watch CFL! No. The people who watch NFL instead of CFL aren't going to be interested in NFL Lite. It will, however, drive away many of the CFL's existing fans.
My partner and I watch all the games, every week. If these changes go into effect, we'll just stop watching, completely. She asked me the very pertinent question "Why does one man, newly appointed commissioner, get to change the historic rules of a hundred-year-old Canadian tradition? Without even consulting fans?".
If these rule changes take effect, Stewart Johnston will be known as the man that killed Canadian football.
Save the CFL!

Both Saskatchewan U Sports football teams advanced today. Huskies over the UBC Thunderbirds, Rams over Winnipeg. Both games decided in the final minute. Riders have a chance to beat the Lions too… could be a memorable day for Saskatchewan football. #canadianfootball #cfl

Global News BC: Edmonton Elks continue to forge ahead with multilingual broadcasts https://globalnews.ca/news/9863927/edmonton-elks-multilingual-cfl-broadcasts-lions/ #globalnews #britishcolumbia #news #CanadianFootballLeague #CFLPunjabibroadcast #CanadianFootball #Edmontonsports #Perspectives #EdmontonElks #CFLFootball #B.C.Lions #Languages #Football #Language #Canada #CFL
Canadian football, man. Last night the Elks and Riders were tied after an amazing Riders drive/2-point conversion in the final minutes. The Riders kicked off with one minute left and overtime was a likely scenario. Instead, the Elks receiver, C.J. Sims, just trotted slowly into the end zone after the ball, conceding a point in the process. Why? He had apparently forgotten the CFL’s 1-point rule (rouge). #football #canadianfootball #cfl
