CFL Week 14 Recap: Getting Down to Business
The week after Labour Day Weekend in the CFL is always interesting. For one, that week sees some of the rivalry matches from that previous week take place again, this time with the home field switching. Secondly, and more importantly, it marks the conclusion of the heart of the schedule, the middle seven weeks of the season, meaning that there's just seven weeks remaining after that aftermath week.

NFL Week 1 Recap: Overreactions and Underperformances
There are 52 (or 53, depending on the calendar) Sundays in the entire year. Since 2021, we hold a special place for 18 of these Sundays. The first of these Sundays came and went, and featured a baker's dozen of NFL games--13 of the 16 games that kicked off the NFL's 106th season. So let't get this first full week recap started, shall we? Let's start with, oh, I don't know... Lions/Packers. Big NFC North battle, had it circled on my mental calendar the moment the schedule was released, very important to both teams.

NFL Week 1 SNF Recap: What Just Happened?!
We are in for one insane season, folks! As I said before, NFL games will be separated into their own stories if need be. Even though the opening week's first Sunday Night game featured two high level AFC squads, I figured it would, at best, serve as the lead opener of the overall Week 1 recap. That was the case, until the wild chaos happened. Given that, and the high importance surrounding this, it has to be its own story.

NFL Kickoff 2025 Recap: Turning the Tide
The NFL is back, and what a start to this young season! This is my fifth year writing the weekly NFL recaps on Vocal, but last year I did change it up. I decided that I would split up certain weeks if need be, because cramming (at most) 16 games in a single story can be exhausting. The same plan will be instilled this year, and I may split up more weeks, but not all of them--only if certain games stand out. Of course, Opening Week definitely applies. Last year, I wrote about the opening game and the international game separately, but here, I'll cover both this year.

CFL Week 13 Recap: Labour Day is a Very Nail-Biting Day
Ah, Labour Day. The NFL had long stopped opening their season on Labo(u)r Day Weekend, but the CFL continues to celebrate Labour Day with the usual rivalry games. Usually it's a four-game week that starts on the Friday before the holiday, but this year, it was an abbreviated three-game week that started on the day before Labour Day. And as those who have read my stories about the CFL notice, I always honour the Canadian spellings. While we Yanks celebrated Labor Day, the Canadians do so with the "u" involved.
