Finally, they quick hit some NFL news before giving an announcement... listen to find out what it is ;)

Welcome Back! 

It's Week Two of our CFL predictions and Steve and Zach take a deep dive into the Argos and Stamps 2021 season. 

First, the attention is turned to Zach's favourite team, the Argos. Is Arbuckle the next franchise QB in Toronto? It's quite apparent he has an opportunity with the star-studded cast Pinball Clemons has amassed. 

Then the guys move onto the highly consistent Stampeders. Will it be the return to glory we expect from Bo or will a lingering 2019 season show itself again? You'll have to listen to find out what Steve and Zach think. 

As always, thanks for listening.

THE CFL IS BACK!! And the boys are all jazzed up about it.  

After a week off the guys return in full force.  With the CFL schedule being released the team discusses their favourite matchups for the upcoming 14 game season.  Also, listen to hear what the guys think of the new Stampeders Retro Uniform. 

The attention then turns to the NFL where the guys start talking the latest news. Does Le'Veon Bell have a right to slander Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid? Is it Super Bowl or Bust for the 49ers this year? And much more. 

Let us know what you think and as always, thank you for listening. 

In our first regular episode in what seems like forever,  we get right to it breaking down the Julio Jones trade! Did the Falcons get the right value? Does this move make the Titans Super Bowl contenders? 

In CFL news, the CFL Board of Governors is set to decide the fate of the season next week. We have our fingers crossed they'll make the right decision and follow through on a return to play! 

The Edmonton Football Team now has a new name - the Edmonton Elk! Hear the mixed responses our crew gives as some are higher on the new name and logo than others...

Speaking of uniforms, the Ottawa Redblacks are set to unveil a brand new set of them and it will likely involve plaid! Steve is very fond of this and sees plaid as a versatile clothing article that can be used anytime anywhere. Auzzie and Zach have no fashion sense and claim it is dated. 

McLeod Bethel-Thompson is back in Toronto! Will he outduel Nick Arbuckle for the starting position for the Argos? Will he even get the chance?

Aaron Rodgers doesn't show up to mini-camp and Miles Teller got punched in the face, you'll have to listen to put that together.

Finally, mini-camp surprises and players turning heads!

We had the chance to chat with the Founder of Throw Co Elite Quarterback Training, Tyler Nickel.

Tyler takes us through his journey from growing up in Calgary to attending multiple camps down south, playing football in the States, and trying his hand at the pros in his tryouts with various CFL and NFL squads.

Tyler then takes us through the importance of development at the quarterback position and what young coaches at the grassroots level can do to make a greater impact. Is the classic pocket passing quarterback a dying breed? Tyler weighs in and lets us know where the position is trending in terms of skill set and attributes needed to succeed at the position.

We wrap up with the great lessons football has taught Tyler the oh-so pivotal question of if he puts ketchup on his Kraft Dinner.

Be sure to check out the work Tyler is doing with his quarterbacks!

The boys at 3rd and Wrong welcome back Episode 71 guest, Jayevan Foster.

Freshly off the release of his new book, 10 Secrets to Dominate a Football Combine: An Agent’s Perspective, Jayevan gives a great in-depth view of what readers are in store for. First, though, the guys find out where the growth of this book originated from. Jayevan then shares why the Combine is such a crucial part in evaluating a player for listeners and athletes alike.

After getting to the roots of the “why” the focus turns to the different topics found in the book. The chapters that are covered are CH 3: Eye in the sky, CH 6: On-field Evaluation vs Off-field Evaluation, CH 9: The Importance of being just as good in the classroom as you are on the field and CH 10: The importance of building a strong team around your coach, agent. To find the content on these you’ll have to listen or read Jayevan’s book.

 As always, thank you for listening.

We are pleased to be joined by the 4th overall selection in the 2015 CFL Draft and current Montreal Alouette, Chris Ackie!

Chris gives us his thoughts on the one-year deals CFL players prefer to sign and the reason behind doing so. He also peels back the curtain to behind the scenes when Montreal traded him to Ottawa late in the 2018 season and how he acclimated to a new locker room.

Speaking of the 2018 season, Chris lets us know how he felt about the "Johnny Manziel Era" and what it takes for former NFL players to succeed in the CFL. 2019 was a rebound year for the Alouettes in more ways than one, they rebuilt the culture after years of mediocrity. Chris gives us a background on which leaders helped usher in a new era of Alouettes football.

Finally, we ask Chris a few questions about the man behind the mask. Who is Chris Ackie the person? What does he like to do? Listen to find out!

As always, thank you for listening, you can find us on social media The Amateur Agency.

Be sure to follow Chris Ackie on his CFL journey!
