I only ask because I saw some headlines on Michael Sam signing this week... and they are calling it Michael Sam Finally get's his dream in the Pros

Hehe , yeah the players get paid so its considered pro , but i would call it "minor league". ... but i do prefer cfl over arena.

I prefer pulling out nose hairs than Arena football

Decent and fun league to follow, but far to many teams to follow in the CFL

Too many teams? They only have 8...

Last season was pretty easy. I've had more success at CFL and Arena the last 2 years than at any other sport.

CFL is great for an off season football fix. I wish they used NFL rules, but otherwise it's enjoyable. A decent player can have a legitimate 8-12 year career.

League minimum is $51k. Most make $100k or more. Not bad for a 4 month season.

a lot of movements in lines in that sport ... guess if you are watching the SO screen you could catch some good ones.

I've never watched a CFL game in my life. In fact, I think I only know of 2 teams. The Saskatchewan Rough Riders and Toronto Arganots (Rocket Ishmail team)

That geeky little white guy making out with Sam as he was picked in the 7th round is disgusting. Give him to the Canadians too.

if it doesn't happen in the USA then it doesn't matter.

you are Americans are so cute.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

I never see Canadian football on TV. Is it on in the USA? Do the Canadians just call it football and then call the NFL "American football". What do Europeans call the NFL? Soccer?

I would watch some Canadian football as long as it is not actual Canadians. I cant see the Canadians playing high level football. I wouldn't fuck with them at hockey or anything done in the snow

ESPN covers the CFL. Most of the games are on ESPN 3 live stream, some are on the actual network.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

When are games played? I will watch. I cant wait until 2015 season starts.

most of the players in the CFL are American. A few years ago there were teams in Baltimore (who actually played in the Grey Cup against BC in BC and lost on a last second field goal. I was there.), memphis, Las Vegas and one or two more cities.

 

[RenoChazz]

The games are on Thurs Fri Sat Sun.

Well then, that's my problem. I could watch football all the time. Is the field alot wider there? Why dont they pay top dollar for the speedsters. Field seems alot wider when watching on youtube.

its wider
the field is 110 yards long
the end zone is 25 yards deep
The upright is on the goal line
The defense must line up 1 yard from the ball.
3 downs not 4 means much more passing.
Warren Moon was incredible in Edmonton
Doug Flutie also.



also .... alot isn't a word. Damn it!

Is it? I thought it was 1 word. That was the way it was taught to me in Private school. I want to watch CFL before training camps start. I am looking forward to 2015 season.
