Agreed. The West really is so much better than the East this year. Not sure what the schedule makers were thinking in overloading the first half with so many East-West games, but all it has done is drive down interest and expose the league.
I love CFL football, but it really is a 5th or 6th tier league. With NFL and NHL starting now, and NBA starting soon, interest is likely to go down especially with the struggles of the Eastern teams. At least, everywhere but Saskatchewan, where there really is nothing else to do but hope and pray that this is one of those very rare years that the Riders don't lose (4 wins out of 101 years in an 8 team league is the very definition of pathetically futile).
With the struggles in TO, this could be very bad for this league. I wouldn't be completely shocked if this league is in a lot of trouble within 5 years.
