I used to be a fan of the CFL myself and used to think the rules allowed for a more exciting game. Now, I cant even bring myself to watch a half.
The level of play is so terrible, especially since the legitimate emergence of Arena Football as an alternative for college players who havent made the NFL cut. Perhaps with the NFL pulling the plug on NFL Europe, the CFL will benefit from a deeper talent pool. However, Mark Cuban has been talking about a second major league in North America, and perhaps with the fallout of NFL Europe, a "minor league" will be established in the US.
The CFL has just become a last resort circus for mediocre Canadian talent and completely rejected American talent either because the person, on his face, isnt talented enough, the player is a criminal, or the this is the players last chance to make it make to the NFL.
It's a garbage league. Ownership problems, financial problems, the Ottawa circus, third rate talent, and so far the most boring season, makes me hope the league dies and takes it's equivalent, the WNBA, with it.
