   A lot on the line.

   The CFL Board of Governors approves a move to add Quebéc City to the East Division.  Hamilton is eliminated from the playoff race and makes a trade with the Alouettes soon after.  Does the NFL need to expand their replay centre to include reviewing pass interference calls to ddtermine if a turnover stands?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded September 28, 2026).

   Lay it out.

   BC Lions Joshua Hagerty's two-game suspension has raised more questions, with many believing the CFL could have done more.  Calgary's René Paredes kicks two personal-best field goals, one that proved to be the game winner as the Stampeders stay alive in the 2026 playoff race.  Will Chad Kelly's pending free agency reset the market for quarterbacks in the CFL?  Toronto needed only posession for a just over a third of the game to defeat the Elks Saturday.  (TSN game audio, CFL on CBC opening theme used with expess permission; podcast recorded September 21, 2026).

   A miracle might happen?

   McLeod Bethel-Thompson is named the starting quarterback for Ottawa in their bid to avoid a thirteenth straight loss in 2026.  A melee involving the Lions and Alouettes sees three players that participated are now being summoned to hearings to determine further sanctions; could any or all three been thrown out of the game that night in Vancouver?  Can the Stampeders salvage their season, or is it time to move on from the Dickenson brothers?  (CFL on CBC theme music used with express permission; podcast recorded September 15, 2026).
