The Markcast®

A 2+ hour episode, loaded with guests. Scott Stinson from National Post joins us, as well as Greg James from CFL Radio America. Finally, Cole Boozer makes his second appearance on the Markcast, checking in from the TSL.

This week on The Markcast, Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press stops in to give a passionate discussion on the CFL/XFL potential and happens to talk a little hockey as well. Reid goes solo with Stan Bedwell, a player who went to lengths to further his career as a football player. The latest on Spring League as well!

The age old question... well, maybe it's only a year old question... what constitutes a football league? Guess it depends on who you ask. Jason Gregor from "The Jason Gregor Show" joins the guys to talk about the CFL and... hockey?! The latest on the COVID conditions in Canada and briefly catching up to Spring League and Luck/McMahon lawsuit news.

It was the CFL Draft this weekend, so we brought in an old friend by the name of Connor O'Neil to break down what Canadian players to watch out for, both here and north of the border in the CFL. Also, host of the Sports Cage and the voice of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Derek Taylor, gives us his insight and his hopes for the CFL going forward. And despite Paul's ban on all things "Young Rock," somehow... it makes its way into the show, because the CFL is mentioned on the season finale. A great episode from top to bottom!

This week, we make the pivot to just "The Markcast." We love the CFL, so Reid and Paul invite two of Canada's premiere print journalists, Dan Ralph and Rob Vanstone, to chat about the future of the CFL and the latest news leaking out about a potential merger. During the show, last minute news from the NFL trickled out, as well as some brief banter regarding the TSL.

This week on the show, the guys try and somewhat fail and succeed at pronouncing AJ Jakubec's name correctly. Sorry, AJ... but we did give you a YERRRR! Dan Barnes also joins the show, as we continue to break down the news coming from north of the border and their plans to play a truncated 2021 CFL Season. Some XFL news and TSL news to round out a very full show!

The previous description has been deleted, thanks to Rod Pedersen blowing up our entire show at 3:30pm. Kidding. Sorta. We break down the late breaking news, as well as bringing in Farhan Lalji from TSN to talk about his opinions and perspective on the merger, prior to Pedersen dropping BOMBS. It's a crazy episode that was finished at the last minute. Hope you enjoy.

There's a showdown at high noon, between the fellas and Arash Madani, over the XFL and why he thinks the CFL doesn't need them. It's an interesting turn, to say the least, as Arash seems to be in the solutions business too. Also, Spring League head honcho Brian Woods stops in to discuss the next season of his league and the expansion of it. This is a can't miss episode.

This week, the guys are fired up and wired up... on ZOA energy drink. Jim Mullin from Football Canada joins us to talk about the culture and structure of the CFL and how it needs the university and junior support to thrive. Also, podcaster and CFL fan Connor O'Neil drops in to give his perspective on the potential of the merger. Tidbits from the Luck/McMahon lawsuit and how Oliver Luck might make Paul pretty happy, IF he is the choice to replace Larry Scott in the Pac-12.

Another two hour plus episode, so you know Paul's already not happy. Kidding. It had to be done. Edmonton Football Team color (or colour, since Canadian) analyst Dave Campbell drops in, along with new Alouettes place kicker/punter Matt Mengel. Also, Braydon from CFL Reddit covers how the fans among the internet feel about merger talk. Break out the Tim Bits, eh... there's a lot of the Great White North in this episode.
