EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks will host the CFL West final for the first time in more than a decade. Cody Fajardo ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more as Edmonton rallied to a 35-27 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. Edmonton has not hosted a West final or even a home playoff game at all since 2015. “It feels great,” said Elks head coach Mark Kilam. “We had a great opportunity to be able to clinch at home in front of our fans, so I’m really proud of the guys for finding a way tonight. "Fajardo completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 120 yards for the Elks (13-4). “That was sweet,” he said. “I told the guys going in that this was phase three of five and we checked that off of our list. Getting a West final in front of our fans, they were the difference tonight. “It was just huge three phase football tonight, I couldn’t be prouder of this team.”The Blue Bombers (8-9) failed in their attempt to secure a playoff spot, but could still earn a post-season berth this weekend if Calgary loses to B. C. on Saturday. “It was just not good enough,” said Winnipeg head coach Mike O’Shea. “We were on the wrong end of five or six plays. It’s like every game.

Brewers Clinch Small-Market World Series—and Fox Should Be Fine - Sportico.com
When the Milwaukee Brewers finished their NLCS sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred may have found himself scrambling for the Advil®. The Brew Crew’s 6-4 series clincher in Game 4 effectively kicked the legs out from under Manfred’s thesis that MLB requires a salary cap, as one of the league’s most spendthrift clubs has been extinguished by a small-market franchise with a relatively frugal $146.2 million payroll, per Spotrac data. Just as the purchase of a 300-count bottle of ibuprofen implies a decidedly ambiguous outlook on life—on the one hand, the buyer anticipates a future in which he or she is plagued by headaches; on the other, the active ingredient in Advil® represents deliverance from said pain—so too would the 2026 World Series seem to portend a mixed bag of payoffs. Milwaukee will face either the skinflints in Tampa ($95.6 million) or Cleveland ($74.5 million) in the Fall Classic.
