Still can't believe Las Vegas, San Antonioand cities like Birmingham even got franchises! The American invasion made this league look so bad!
biggest memories
O Canada being sung to the tune of oh Christmas Tree
Coach of the Memphis Mad Dogs complaining about only having 3 downs wanting rule changes.
because of the no canadian content rule for american teams the league reformats the divisions so a canadian is guaranteed to play in the grey cup. The Canadian division 8 teams The American division 5 teams.
The only thing good about that expansion period was the passion Baltimore fans had for football. In a time it was hard to get people to come out in Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton this was the first time in a long one where fans loved our game and had nothing terrible to say about it.
I still don't believe in American expansion! If anything bring Halifax into the league and change the playoff format!
