CFL Pickem Week 6: Not Really Week 6 Edition: Our Canadian Football League contest returns for the Friday night clash between 4-1 Calgary and 3-1 Winnipeg. Pick that game and the two to come during the weekend. No one got any points in the last round that we picked, which is kind of amazing.

CFL Pickem Week 5: Clearly Canadian: The CFL week starts in under six hours when the undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers travel to McMahon Stadium to face the Calgary Stampeders. The temperate should be around 70 with only a slight chance of rain. I only say that because I looked up the forecast hoping it might be cold. In my head Canada is always cold and everybody has horses like on Heartland. Scooby leads the pickem. Make your picks.

The Holy Grail of NFL Secrets: The never-before-seen ruling reveals the results of both extensive discovery and a closed-door hearing with witness testimony from — deep breath — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell; three star quarterbacks (Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, and Russell Wilson); eight (!) owners; NFLPA leaders; and various powerful agents and executives. It also includes details about a closed-door presentation for all 32 NFL owners at an annual meeting, in the wake of the Cleveland Browns’ unprecedented, fully guaranteed contract for Deshaun Watson. (The trigger for this whole saga.) Pablo and Dan Patrick talk about this issue this morning.
