It wasn't too long ago that the future for the Canadian Football League wasn't looking too bright... but that certainly isn't the case now and the commissioner, Randy Ambrosie, is here to tell John and David why. We talk about the growth in viewership this year compared to last year and why Randy thinks it's trending upward as we approach the 110th Grey Cup in November. Randy also gets into what the league has done this year to get its "Swagger Back", and gives his opinion on former CFL standout QB Nathan Rourkes tryout in Jacksonville with the NFL as we learn why he isn't the biggest fan of seeing good players get placed on a practice squad.

The XFL is looking for money, but who should they get to invest? What's next for the latest cuts from the NFL and which league between the XFL or the USFL should those players be targeting for their next stop? What's next for the CFL after this crazy week with Gary Stern's departure from the Montreal Alouettes and the trade of Vernon Adams Jr. to the BC Lions? We tackle all of those questions and more with our slate of guests which includes Brendan Coffey from Sportico, Ric Serritella from NFL Draft Bible, TSN's Matthew Scianitti, and Cody Grace from the Calgary Stampeders.Brendan Coffey of Sportico stops by the program to chat through his latest article coming out regarding the XFL looking for investors ahead of its 2023 launch.

We bring on IP/Trademark Lawyer Tim Billick, TSN 1260's Jason Gregor, USFL Stars' Defensive Back Solomon Wise and BC Lion's Offensive Lineman Andrew Peirson onto the program.The “real” USFL and the FOX Sports USFL have met now twice via conference to try to settle the ongoing litigation and things seem to be escalating even further. We chat with intellectual/patent and trademark prosecution lawyer Tim Billick who helps us try to make sense of the declarations that were filed this week from both the “real” USFL and the FOX owned USFL. What are the next steps in this ongoing case and what effects/ramifications will this continuing case have on the upcoming USFL kickoff, we find out.Is the CFL moving to 4 downs? Haven't we been down this road before?? The Genius Sports/CFL talk is heating up and MANY talking points have arisen, one of which is the CFL moving to 4 downs by way of not-so friend of the show Arash Madani. What does TSN 1260's Jason Gregor think of the move to 4 downs and the effects that might and will have on the Canadian game. Plus we chat through the Genius Sports/CFL partnership and figure out the next steps for commissioner Randy Ambrosie and the league growing and promoting the CFL game moving into 2022 and beyond. Would a CFL version of “Drive to Survive” work to grow the Canadian game and should Randy Ambrosie and the CFL go down that route? We discuss.We have a couple of wonderful player interviews this week including recently drafted USFL defensive back Solomon Wise from the USFL Philadelphia Stars and Andrew Peirson from the BC Lions. Solomon shares his experiences getting drafted into the league, thoughts on the USFL thus far and next steps as he gets ready to head to Birmingham for the USFL training camps next week. Andrew talks off-season CFL training, thoughts on Henry Burris' being added as an offensive consultant, his impressions of Nathan Rourke leading the team into the 2022 CFL season and we get a spoiler-free review of “The Batman” from Andrew as he continues to bond with his teammates in the CFL offseason.Finally the MLFB is in the news with the announcement of Jerry Glanville as one of their head coaches and potentially late-breaking news of potential cities/States. As they plan to kick off their inaugural season (finally) in May, are there enough players and talent coaches/staff to justify ANOTHER spring football league, we discuss.
