I've been hard on CTV for not paying much attention to the CFL, so let's give them credit for announcing they'll carry a number of games in 2024. It was particularly galling to see them run non-stop regular season NFL but the Grey Cup couldn't make the main network.

HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY, MCMAHON STADIUM. The Stampeders home hosted the first game at the then-new stadium on this date in 1960. They lost 38-23 Winnipeg. First TD in the new digs? Lineman Don Luzzi---the only TD he would score in his illustrious career!

TIDBIT: Facts are that Rourke was never going to be given a shot. No NFL GM will tell his owner, that the undrafted guy from way up in Canada deserves to be the starting quarterback. Too tough a sell. Fair? No. Reality? Yes.
