Terrific playoff semifinal between @atletiOttawa and Forge ends in a 2-2 draw at TD Place in front of a season high 6108 fans. Diego Gutierrez and Ballou score the Atleti goals. It’s all to play for next Saturday in Hamilton with semifinal Leg 2.

.@TSNDaveNaylor - "The broadcasting revenue (for the #CFL) is going up by more than 60% next year., roughly. Why do these contracts keep going up? Well, they did another broadcast deal. Being able to hang the shingle & say our top QB's making more than $1M a season... it's going to grab attention on those players that are sitting on the fence about whether or not they want to try the @CFL." via @FirstUp1050

About 48 hours before the CFL playoffs begin, should Winnipeg's season ends early again, I legit wonder if Saturday is Mike O'Shea's last game coaching the Bombers. As I've said before, Ottawa *wants* a McManus + O'Shea combo. Does/can it happen with contracts, staff cap, etc?

Ian Mendes will become the fourth member of the Sens organization in the Order of Ottawa, following the late Bryan Murray, Chris Phillips, and Cyril Leeder. “When you say those names back-to-back-to-back, and then you put my name in there, you feel like you don't belong there.” ottsens.com/48nAWvo
