He couldn't figure out why anyone would give a hoot about an ice hockey game.

It seems like you're going out of your way to pee on the good folks who care about the Canadian game.

sheesh...it's more of a joke than anything. lighten up,enjoy your 3 down football with looser points and bring a blanket!

Ah, the irony.

Well that sucked.

I totally forgot about the CFL games.

I was watching real football...with talent. and no mis-coverages and no dropped balls. No rouges, or Time-Clock violations. No 'Second down conversions', or punts every third play.

Come join us in the NFL. Hell, watch an NCAA game. Its all way more interesting, exciting, and entertaining than the CFL. What horrible horrible football that is.

bumping this to put down the CFL, really?
real football is your opinion, wouldn't real football be soccer? you are just watching commercials with 15 minutes of guys rushing 3 yards mixed in. oh and lots of hype and gambling. thats the NFL right?

hey the NFL has lots of talent, but you can't say the CFL doesn't. plenty of NCAA all-stars fail to make the CFL. but you watch the NCAA right? (hey, NCAA football is good at the top level, I don't get into it because its tough to pick a team from places I've never even been, and the playoff format is stupid!)

interesting, exciting and entertaining? that is your opinion, which if fine. I disagree with your opinion, but that's my right. I find NFL games go to long, aren't as exciting as CFL games (or NCAA games), have too many timeouts, too many teams to be able to follow them all, not relevant (all american teams...) etc.
as for rouges, its part of the game and adds to the strategy, your failure to understand it may or may not be your fault.
mis-coverages? to you would rather everything be perfect, mistakes make games exciting. a touchdown doesn't happen unless a defensive player makes a mistake, or a coach.

join you in the NFL? I didn't realize you play!? you must be an overpaid thug then (I can make generalizations too!)

make no mistake, there are many reasons why fans like the CFL(2nd most popular sport in Canada), why do you care so much that we watch the NFL? so you can have more members of your club or something, more people to gamble against?
It's a different game but it's still football. soccer is football, Australian football is football, Canadian football is football and American football is football. I prefer the Canadian style
