In addition to my work at @3downnation.bsky.social, I'm pleased to announce that I've joined The Curling Group as a reporter for Rock Channel.

I'm looking forward to working with @devinheroux.bsky.social and the many talented people in and around my favourite winter sport.

Tonight's game was a complete dud until the fourth quarter, then the last three minutes were great.

Hopefully, the new clock system next season will ensure the final three minutes of games remain excellent -- and perhaps ever better than they are now.

I have to fill out my power rankings ballot shortly.

It honestly feels like there should be a seven-way tie for first place, then Toronto and Ottawa bringing up the rear.

For anyone wondering, CFL statistician Jeff Krever informed me that multiple teams have finished games without a completion.

The Blue Bombers won a game in 1960 with zero completions, which is the last time it happened.

I asked Mike O’Shea if Dalton Schoen is an option to play this week.

His response: “Always.”

Take that for what it’s worth.

Recently, @coachbengrant.bsky.social pointed out to me that Nick Arbuckle is Toronto's leading rusher, which was a bit of a shocking revelation.

I decided to do a deep dive on Toronto's lowest single-season rushing leaders since 1958.
