Northern Wish Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I for one am very very very very excited. I live my whole summer watching NFL Network so I can do enough research to suck ass in my pools and watch my Bills playoffs chances disappear around the Canadian Thanksgiving. Bring on real sports!

Booche Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was craving football so bad last night and ended up watching a little bit of BC-Edmonton. The CFL is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badams Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 the nice thing about watchign a CFL game is that you don't actually have to pay attentionExactly, it's just like watching the NBA. You just need to watch the last two minutes of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Nothing like a thrilling 9-6 NFL game. There's probably a greater percentage of dud games in that league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I LOVE THE SINGLE POINT IN THE CFL!Nothing like rewarding a team for screwing up. And how about that 5 yard protect zone around punt returners? Fucking panzies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 There is nothing wrong with a 9-6 Football game if the D is played well. The CFL is just a notch better than the AFL. The rules and field sizes are designed to increase scoring. There is nothing wrong with that but the best of the best suit up in the NFL.The CFL can be fun to watch but so can The Little League World Series or an OHL hockey game. It is what it is...The second best Football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 There is nothing wrong with that but the best of the best suit up in the NFL.Tell me something I don't know. It is possible to enjoy the CFL without having to constantly remind yourself (and others) of this though. Give me another cliche while you're at it.The CFL can be fun to watch but so can The Little League World Series or an OHL hockey game. It is what it is...The second best Football league.Little League World Series is better than Triple A?Anyway, glad you agree it's better than AFL.

badams Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I just don't enjoy the CFL brand of Football. I've tried over the years and I've even been to 3 Grey Cups. The parties were good but the games lacked something. That's just my humble opinion. I like the NFL MUCH better... However, I am a Dolphins fan... so what the fuck do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 The parties were good but the games lacked something.Yeah, it's called flow and momentum. It seems like the ball turns over more often than it does in basketball. Plus the running game sucks. You cant pound a team into submission. Think the Giants brand of football in the early 90's.People like Ollie might think that is boring but I love watching a team physically dominate another defence to the point the d-line is gasping for air in the 3rd quarter. That being said, I watch a handful of CFL games each season towards the end and I appreciate the Canadiana aspect but playing by those rules in highschool sucked ass. It was hard for me to get a feel for it having been a diehard NFL fan since I can rememberSpeaking of which HeadyMamaMyrna said that when I was a baby and they wanted me to shutthefuckup, my parents would sit me in front of a football game. I would become completely content. My dad told me that if I was watching a game and he tried to turn the channel (back when households only had 1 tv, can you imagine?) I would cry nonstop until he put the game back on.I'm drunk. Enough babbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 None taken, I just get bored by the easy dismissal of our own country's league. But your second post above is a much more interesting take on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 You know who else was nationalist?: Hitler.What do you expect from a league that at one point had 8 teams... two with the same name. There's some neat stuff in the CFL, cause it is football (Like Moon, Flutie, Gizmo, Pinball), but it is kind of dull to watch on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 The CFL's move into the US was such a bad idea. Everyone knew it except for the league. I have to admit that I lost respect for them when they made that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headymamamyrna Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thats so true Andre.You were in that little plastic and only a few months old watching football and kicking and your hands were really going too. We couldn't watch anything else because of that! Yup 1 TV at that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I lost respect for them when they made that decision.That's probably the only time I've gained respect for the CFL! Even though everyone said/knew they'd fail, they had to try and see if they could make a go of in it some US markets or they'd still be wondering. Bad idea, but ballsy move.

Booche Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I totally hear ya.Ballsy but stupid. I can honestly say that I was pulling for them. But first, why not try down east at the least? It's the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Why the eff is there no down east CFL team?... Green Bay works and it takes a fraction of the costs to support a team like a CFL franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
