Most of these guys have jobs during the off season. They are not snobby milllionaires. They're really there because they love to play the game.
Good job, Stampeders. Today's game was very fun to watch and I'll probably take in a few games next season because of it.

Great post man. Perfectly explained a key component as to why I love the CFL for what it is. Todays game kicked the crap out of many "Super"bowls.
