We had to change things up in hour two today a little bit. We started with the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day and were supposed to hear from TSN's Matt Scianitti, but he was unable to make it. So we shifted gears to discuss where LeBron James next team will be…   After the break, our summer CFL insider and former CFLer Chris Streveler joined the fellas to recap all of CFL Week 6.   We then finished hour two with some Weekly Confession for Spectrum Rent All. As always, this segment never disappoints.

The big man Dustin Nielson was our marquee first guest today, and we wasted zero time diving headfirst into the gridiron whiteboard. Dusty gave us his instant reactions to the Edmonton Elks' absolutely dominant Thursday night victory, highlighting the pure excellence of running back Justin Rankin, while breaking down what is going entirely wrong for the struggling Ottawa Redblacks. From there, we teed up tonight's high-stakes Friday Night Football clash out in Winnipeg before hitting the ice for one final quick note—getting Dusty's definitive take on the Anaheim Ducks' massive decision to match Leo Carlsson's historic offer sheet.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   In the middle of hour two, we got right into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. What a weekend it will be in the world of sports! Now, MMMMMM That's Good!   Justin Dunk capped off hour two with his thoughts on last night's huge win for the Edmonton Elks, Justin Rankin's unreal performance and a preview on the rest of the games in CFL Week 6.

Marshall Ferguson was the first guest on today's show! He gave us his initial thoughts on Bo-Levi Mitchell's recent injury and then just a recap on CFL Week 5 and then a brief preview on CFL Week 6.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, Chelsey Labelle from Expedia Cruises joined the show to showcase this years trip to Mexico. Nasties, you won't want to miss this.   We finished hour two with some Weekly Confessions presented by Spectrum Rent All. Some great confessions from the boys today.

Former NHL netminder Jamie McLennan joined us for his final hit of the season, and since we missed him last week, we had a massive mountain of Oilers news to clear out. "Noodles" broke down the headlines regarding Edmonton's official plan to carry three goaltenders next season and shared why he actually doesn't hate the approach. From there, we evaluated the Oilers' new-look blue line, tracking how well Stan Bowman navigated the historic Darnell Nurse trade to San Jose. Finally, Jamie mapped out the exact workload split he expects among the three netminders and advised what management should do with their freshly cleared cap space.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   Right after the break, we mapped out the entire CFL Week 5 slate with former league quarterback Chris Streveler. "Strevy" weighed in on the devastating, horrific injury to future Hall of Famer Bo Levi Mitchell that had him carted off the field in Hamilton last night. From there, the conversation shifted to pure dominance under center as we looked at Vernon Adams Jr.'s absolutely absurd tear to start the year. Finally, Chris gave us his take on the local scene, breaking down the Edmonton Elks' first loss of the season and diagnosing exactly what went sideways for the Green and Gold out in BC.   To finish hour two, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. The third annual EST Golf Classic gets underway this week. How good is that?

Gridiron America Radio is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYWe start the early celebration of Canada Day, which is on July 1, with a look back at Week 4 of the CFL, and then look back at the CFL/XFL war of words five years ago. Why look back? Because five years ago the pandemic put the CFL on life support and many XFL supporters in America, who had no clue about the league, were claiming that the only way for the CFL to survive was to merge with the (now defunct) third version of the XFL.GRIDIRON AMERICA RADIO BACKGROUNDGridiron America Radio (formerly, the From the 55 Yardline podcast), is anchored by former sports executive David Cieslinski, former international professional football player Mike Tackett, and football nerd Greg St. James.All three are avid armchair sports historians and sports simulation enthusiasts, who, despite the vastness of geography, have found a way to leverage technology to help keep the games they love truly alive, both on the screen or tabletop.Gridiron America Radio is dedicated to both current and historical American football talk, including the “what if” questions that all sports fans ask and try to answer with the help of statistics, math and computer modeling provided by Sportsmaster Simulation Games www.SportsMaster-Simulation.games.

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger kicks off today's show to take us inside the glass on a wild NHL offseason. We dive straight into the unfolding situation in Edmonton, focusing on the massive hurdles surrounding a potential Darnell Nurse blockbuster. Dreger expands on why pulling off a Nurse trade is proving to be far more difficult than originally anticipated, which teams stand out as the best logical suitors, and whether Nurse will ultimately have to expand his trade list to make a deal happen. Plus, Dregs gives us his definitive takeaways on the biggest winners from draft weekend in Buffalo and weighs in on how the NHL goaltending market completely shifts now that Sebastian Cossa has been shipped to Utah.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, the boys got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. How good has the Elks start to the season been?   Rod Smith finished off hour two with a recap on CFL Week 4, he praised the Elks start to the season, touched on the brilliance of Justin Rankin and how about Chad Kelly? He's certainly still got it and Rod Smith tells us why.

Gridiron America Radio is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYAs we enter week 4 of the 2026 CFL season this week, we look to see which franchise empires are on the rise and which might be falling after week. Could the British Columbia Lions be falling quicker than anyone might have predicted? Are the Edmonton Elks for real? Are the Ottawa RedBlacks who we thought they were? And do the Roughriders realize that it is better to win a game in regulation versus barely escaping in overtime? Plus, we talk about the Brendan Sorsby saga, and we hear about Greg's mini book review about Warren Rogan's (of SHN's Sports' Forgotten Heroes), new book, "College All-Stars vs. NFL Champions: The Chicago Charities Football Games, 1934-1976", which is available now on Amazon.GRIDIRON AMERICA RADIO BACKGROUNDGridiron America Radio (formerly, the From the 55 Yardline podcast), is anchored by former sports executive David Cieslinski, former international professional football player Mike Tackett, and football nerd Greg St. James, from Gridiron Japan Radio.All three are avid armchair sports historians and sports simulation enthusiasts, who, despite the vastness of geography, have found a way to leverage technology to help keep the games they love truly alive, both on the screen or tabletop.Gridiron America Radio is dedicated to both current and historical American football talk, including the “what if” questions that all sports fans ask and try to answer with the help of statistics, math and computer modeling provided by Sportsmaster Simulation Games www.SportsMaster-Simulation.games.
