@CCpxpSN Long ago, you listened to Foster and dreamed you could be that voice calling games. Natural talent and hard work put you in that position. Now, others can listen to you and dream that same dream. Congrats, Chris! You really deserve this.

[Dan Ralph @danralphcp]

Hearing the #CFL new six-year broadcast agreement, everything combined, is worth about $500 million. That's very very significant. Not only does the deal continue the league's longstanding partnership with Bell Media but adds DAZN and YouTube as partners. Solid deal all around.

[CFL @CFL]

The CFL has announced landmark six-year agreements with Bell Media and DAZN, beginning in 2027. YouTube named a CFL Premier Platform Partner starting next year.

same time next week??? 😌👋

@stonebridgebob @REDBLACKS Which receiver? Ethan Jordan? With the numbers they still have in camp, it's really hard to get a handle. The position should be a strength for the Redblacks this season.

[Tim Baines @TimCBaines]

From 2025's horrible pre-season injury and feeling his kneecap up by his thigh, Nick Mardner is ready to go for @REDBLACKS. #CFL https://t.co/o3QaMHGQmW

@FarhanLaljiTSN Some very bright days ahead!

@South_Side_G @jayehmare8027 Anyway, I've said enough. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[Tim Baines @TimCBaines]

@South_Side_G @jayehmare8027 It's not a full-time job. That's not what I was hired for. When the season begins, I will write once a week. I won't be at the stadium every day like I was for many years. If I agreed to take on a full-time job, I would give a full-time commitment.
