I can't wait for the Grey Cup man. I remember waking up so stung on Memorial Day back in May thinking is it June 4th yet? Why can't we just fast forward to the start of the hardest 9 team league in the world season opener live from the guts of Hamilton Ontario aka The Hammer. The 2026 campaign brought its own challenges as it always does in a 3 down enterprise. But my god there's something we can all agree on and that is the parity around a single digit operation. Aside from a trying year in Ottawa, where I honestly thought they'd never win a game again in the Nation's Capital, the standings were chin on chin for the entire 18 game regular season slate in the West. Like a reservation just outside of North Battleford, everyone was burying everyone. Sask at times looked like they may just shake off the championship hangover and repeat. But they were a day late and a Toonie short. There was times where I thought Winnipeg was going to be parading the oldest trophy in sports down Portage and Main. But here we are now. 6 odd days out from the 113th edition of the Grey Cup. It's been nearly 11 years since Edmonton had the Cup on Whyte Avenue giving all those crackheads a reason to wake up and get even higher. Montreal looks for a classic case of revenge porn on the gridiron after last year's travesty live from Princess Auto Stadium losing in heartbreak fashioned. Gun to my chin? I think it's Edmonton's year. But that's the beautiful thing about the Canadian Football League. We don't decide. The players do. The field is longer. Our ball is bigger. The field goal post could give you everlasting CTE if you don't time your post route correctly. But this our game. 3 downs. 1 champion. Live from McMahon Stadium Sunday. See you there. I will be covering it like nobody else can. -93.1
