Some of us just can’t get enough summer sports. 

While most Canadians are busy grilling burgers, lining up at ice cream trucks, and working on their cannonballs at the lake, some of us are so locked in that we need to set reminders to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. 

If you’re taking the time to read this column, I hope it’s from your hammock with an iced coffee in hand. 

Wimbledon continues with quarter-final action this morning on TSN, we’ve got a full slate of MLB beginning this afternoon, and the stage is set for an epic showdown on Friday Night Football in Week 6 of the CFL season. 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the league’s last remaining undefeated team. 

Coming off a bye, the Riders will host the West Division rival Calgary Stampeders in an early showdown that is worth setting a reminder for so that you don’t miss it. 

Meanwhile, the biggest story of the summer has been the epic turnaround from Canada’s baseball team. 

The Blue Jays have tied their second-longest winning streak in franchise history!
