I'm more of an NFL guy myself, but I love and follow both leagues. And to the originator of this post, clearly you missed the first two games of the season(Toronto/BC and Edmonton/Winnipeg), because both were classics. Hell, on Sirius NFL on my Sirius satellite radio they were even talking about how good the Toronto/BC game was, and Levingston's ridiculous 129 yard TD return. Or how bout Edmonton trailing Saskatchewan 20-1 at halftime just this past Friday, only to come back and win 21-20?

I love the NFL for how precise you have to be on routes, how everything has to be just perfect for it to work. And of course its the best football players on the planet. I also love the atmosphere at games, the crowd is going crazy, especially when the opposing offence takes the field(I wish fans in the CFL(outside of Regina) understood the concept of drowing out the opponents O and staying quiet for your own. Did I really hear the crowd chanting "GO STAMPS GO!!!" during a Stamps offensive drive two days ago, to the point where Burris had to motion for them to shut up?? What is this, a hockey game??).

But I also love the CFL for the big plays...for the ability to come back from three TD's in the fourth quarter...and for almost always having a classic Grey Cup game, unlike the NFL's usual Super Bowl blowouts. If you just simply dont like football, then that's fine. But how you can love one league and hate the other is beyond me.
