I like the CFL, but my main beef is how the clock does not run at the end of the game. Why? I suppose they want comebacks.

A team can suck for 58 minutes, but get second and third chances to get back in the game when the clock hardly runs at all. No need for clock management or time outs. No need to go out of bounds. You can still run the ball.

A hard-earned 12 point lead should be safe with two minutes left.

Time should not have more or less value depending on the stage of the game.
