  EPISODE TEN: A NEW HOPE

  Jul 26, 202654 min

  I see the great Nathan Rourke play in person for the first time, the Argos have a home game in Hamilton, and I lose some commercial directing jobs to some industry legends. Lionel Richie deconstructed, pet peeve articulated, how Brett Lawrie saved the Jays and Chris Flynn saved the day. Tre Ford. Taylor Elgersma. A video director changes the course of country music, Russ Jackson outlasts the Beatles and an autographed Boris Bede jersey inspires our narrator. #canadianfootball #cfl #ottawaroughriders #ottawafootball #heccrighton #bclions #russjackson #nathanrourke #treford #taylorelgersma #fredeaglesmith #ticats #argos #nashville #beatit #whipit

  EPISODE NINE: STEEL GUITAR

  Jul 15, 202648 min

  Mitchell vs. Collaros. 2026. A sound from that game on tv reminds me of a sound I heard the night that Bruce Springsteen first played in Hamilton. Dispatches from the pandemic, Y2K, and the longest championship drought in the league. Flutie. Speedy. Country music. Danny Lanois. Heartaches by the numbers. And why I honestly thought that this was the year. #canadianfootball #cfl #hamiltontigercats #ticats #greycup #brandonbanks #speedy #bolevi #lawler #mcmanis #flutie #mcmanus #lanois #ivorwynne #y2k

  EPISODE EIGHT: ORDINARY SUPERSTARS

  Jul 9, 202652 min

  While my brother is serving his church mission in Quebec, I get a gift in the mail from my role model. Sweeping youthful observations from Buono to Bono. Dattilio to Calvillo. Ferragamo to the Big O. Montreal during the days of disco. The most happening town in the world. Expansion. Contraction. Ice and Staples. A business story. A football story. How U2 saved the Als and how The Wall came to be. A story of Me and Ah You. #canadianfootball #alouettes #cfl #heisman38 #montreal #76olympics #buono #bono #baltimorestallions #calvillo #pringle #cahoon #ahyou #gregjoy

  EPISODE SEVEN: STREVELER MATTERS

  Jul 2, 20261 hour

  Winnipeg. The town that invented 911 and the home of the CFL's flagship team. Tales from Dieter and Dunigan, Taylor and Collaros, and a new hero for our times. Tales from hotel check ins, flights gone awry, celebrity name drops, hits and near misses, and some ripping yarns from the heart of the continent. With a nod to the lyrics of John K. Samson, the episode tells the true story of one fella's journey from I Hate Winnipeg to One Great City. #CFL #bombers #canadianfootball #mikeoshea #dieterbrock #tellthebandtogohome #chrisstreveler #greycup #docwalker #prevost #timeschange(d) #onegreatcity

  EPISODE SIX: THE 40

  Jun 25, 202647 min

  Moments after working on a national awards show with entertainment icon and lifelong TiCats fan Martin Short, I get a phone call about a 39 year old country singer who has visions of playing in the CFL. And I made the best television show that no one has ever seen. #canadianfootball #CFL #williemack #martinshort #argonauts #jimbarker #jimdaley #showbizstories #themecca #mississippisnakegrabbers #swayzewaters
