Show Notes

Special guest, and author, Howie Mooney discusses growing up in Ottawa, being a fan of the Rough Riders, and a career that had him working a day job and working in media at night.  Howie then does a deep dive into Ottawa's 5-11 1981 CFL season (first-ever season of full-interlocking play) and how Ottawa made it to the Grey Cup versus Edmonton.  The discussion moves to the 1981 Grey Cup game and the infamous double-interference penalty call.  (CFL on CBC game audio and opening theme used with express permission; podcast recorded December 17. 2025).
