The Nielson Show - August 17th, 2026 - Hour 2

CFL insider Marshall Ferguson led off today's show—and true to form, he delivered his whole hit while he was on his bike! Marsh broke down Saturday's beatdown at Commonwealth Stadium, detailing exactly how the Elks defense suffocated the Argos, before running through the rest of the action from around CFL Week 11.

 

It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

 

Former CFL quarterback Chris Streveler joined us to lead off the second half of hour two, starting things off with a little fashion chat about his signature shorts! From there, it was all football—beginning with Edmonton's statement blowout win over Toronto at Commonwealth Stadium. Streveler then offered his thoughts on the Bombers getting back in the win column against Ottawa, and wrapped up his segment taking a look at the slumping Calgary Stampeders.

 

We finished hour two with some MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. In this segment we touched on the vibes at tailgate on Saturday, as well as touch on the potential beauty list of listeners at this years ESTY's.
