Author Jeff Morris has spent most of his life around the game. An award-winning journalist and Ontario Community Newspaper Hall of Fame inductee, he has covered the Grey Cup as a reporter and photographer, worked in the CFL sports-card industry, co-hosted the first podcast devoted to covering the CFL, and worked the 2017 Grey Cup as an off-field official.

His fascination with the CFL began when he was three years old, sitting in the stands at Ottawa's Lansdowne Park with his parents.

More than half a century later, he is still collecting the stories.
