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.

you probably did, its a regular occurance ... see my post in page 2.
That's the other thing that people don't raise, CFL fans as a group really don't know much about football. It's like they are hockey fans looking for something to do in the summer. Football is my #1 sport by a mile and have been around it, in some way for 15 years, and I absolutely can't stand being in the stands. Probably like going to a hockey game in Carolina, so long as the fans in Carolina think they know what the heck they are watching.
