An Ode to Canadian Football

I have a confession to make: For more than a decade, I’ve been addicted to Canadian football. It’s not the slick, polished product you see on Sunday afternoons in the NFL. No, this is a grittier, quirkier version of the game that feels like it was cooked up by a mad scientist. Even though it’s July, the CFL season is already in full swing, and if you haven’t been paying attention, you’re missing out on one of the most entertaining spectacles in sports. With only nine teams in Canada’s largest cities, it’s incredibly easy to follow the entire league. Games are played Thursday through Sunday. And the best part? It’s all free to watch on TSN+. The CFL YouTube channel even posts excellent 10-minute recaps of each game for those of us with short attention spans.
