I returned to my STEM roots for my latest @cbcsports story. I talked to 4 of Canada's top brain injury experts at @UHN, @WesternU and @uOttawa, and Guardian's CEO about the science behind the Guardian Cap and what it means for the future of the NFL, CFL and other contact sports.
Concussion experts encourage CFLers to wear Guardian Caps, but say athletes shouldn't feel 'immortal'

I warned you!
The Queen's pass defence is that friend who keeps trying to get you to join their MLM scheme — just relentless. After finishing Top-5 in U Sports for passing yds allowed & INTs, the Gaels stifled Windsor, too, allowing just 106 passing yds + snagging 2 INTs. 📸 @Queens_Football

In the Yates Cup’s 117-year history, this will be the 1st time Laurier & Queen’s will face off. But these head coaches have met in the OUA championship before: when Steve Snyder was Western’s OC during that 2017 Vanier Cup season. 📸 @hrtphoto13/@WLUAthletics, @Queens_Football

StFX QB Silas Fagnan saved his best for playoffs. The AUS all-time passing yards leader had 324 yds & 2 TDs in conference semis. Down 1 point at his own 24-yd line w/ <2 mins left, he led the X-Men to FG territory — and a berth in the Loney Bowl. 📸 Bryan Kennedy/@StFXFootball

Sports are funny. Imagine this in any other job. Burger King: Hey, your VP of Operations is a great fit for us. We want him for SVP of Global Franchising — a lateral move, but with more stress. Permission to speak? Popeyes: Perhaps.
Hearing Ottawa asked Toronto for permission to speak to Ryan Dinwiddie late last week, which was approved on Monday. Deal done quickly after that. Dinwiddie had term remaining with Argos but took advancement with GM title.#CFL #Argos #Redblacks

Canadian Mauricio Hinds had a great 1st start on FAU’s O-Line when the Owls gave a then-undefeated Navy a run for its money less than 2 weeks ago. Nova Scotia’s own allowed just 1 hurry on 69 pass plays at RG (via PFF), giving way for nearly 400 passing yards. 📸 @FAUFootball
