Not on this forum perhaps but somewhere.
Actually I do have friend who has season tickets to the Calgary Stampeders, but then he is a bit of a masochist.
If the truth be known I would far rather watch CFL than NFL. NFL is soooooooo boring.

CFL, if I'm correct has a larger ball, larger end zones and 3 downs instead of 4 as in the NFL........... Makes for higher scoring games and supposedly more entertaining.

Playing field (not including end zones) is 110 yards versus 100 for NFL and 65 yards wide versus 53 and a third yards for NFL.
Which makes for more passing rather than three runs into the line and punt as per NFL.

Oh well the remote will get a workout in some households.
But not in Calgary. I just tuned in to see how it was going. TSN in Calgary is broadcasting a Stamps/Eskimos game from 1987 WTF.
