After learning about Craig's origins in LA in Part 1, in Part 2 of the Craig Ellis Files, Craig gets into not only his time at San Diego State, but coming out college undrafted by an NFL team and a running back who was looking to make the most of the chances given to him not only in the NFL as a free agent but in unfamiliar territory in the Canadian Football League.

A CFL All-Star, A Miami Dolphin and LA Raider, Craig Ellis was an offensive weapon in the 1980s and 1990s either running or catching the football but do you know his full story? In a special three-part series for Avry's Sports Show, I sat down with Craig as we chopped it up over his life growing up in California, progressing in football and being a name that should be in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

In 2005, after EA Sports gained exclusive rights to making simulation football video games, Sony didn't let that stop them from plans on the gridiron. Road To Sunday almost became their first foray into the world of "M" rated football games, but it wasn't meant to be. Almost 20 years later, the story of what the game could have been is still very fascinating. I dove into the story of Road To Sunday for both the Avrysports video and audio platforms.

Will we finally get a Tre Ford to start at quarterback in 2024 for the Edmonton Elks? After his first appearance of the 2024 CFL season, in which he threw for three touchdowns in less than 10 minutes of work, we may be getting closer to a Ford start for the Elks under centre. His play gave Edmonton fans something to cheer for in a 44-28 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, which saw them fall to 0-7 on the season. Tap in for post-game audio from Tre Ford and interim Elks head coach Jarius Jackson. Jackson's audio starts at 0:00 and ends at 3:16 mark, Ford's audio starts at 3:16 and goes until the end of media availability.
