On CFLHorsemen, I've been really critical of the CFL quality of game for a few years now. There are three distinctive tiers in the CFL
Elite team in terms of talent, coaching, recruiting, the teams that act like they're a professional football team

Meh teams, they do some recruiting and occassionally get lucky, they have "characters" instead of hard core coaches and managers, they aren't great teams, but on occasion they'll rise up
Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa
The rest of the crap, you get a sense that they're coasting and not talking this thing seriously, their attention to detail ranks somewhere around beer league
BC, Sask, Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton
But Captain, what about the Stamps Grey Cup wins or lack thereof. Its any given Sunday man. The Stamps basically beat the piss out of the Argo's and lost on two plays that no matter what the talent discrepancy is it just happens. The long play by Ray where Campbell played the wrong leverage. The fumble for the long touchdown, fluky.
the year before with Ottawa, I talked about it a team will occasionally rise and peak, but the fact is that the REDBLACKS then started the next season 1-6. a 9 team league is a shyte happens league.
Frankly its harder to get excited about the CFL until after labor day because frankly the quality of football is really bad.
Watching that Toronto Edmonton game, that was some stank football.
Any game with the Riders its bad football. Give me a break with Montreal and Toronto, those are bad and badly coached team.
IF the CFL wants to stop the decline in attendance, all the teams need to get serious and act as if they're professionals.
