Post by: Gman on November 21, 2013, 02:43:16 PM: I have a cousin, Roger Aldag, that played for the 89 Riders that won the Grey Cup. It's a shame the US teams folded back in the mid 90's and the sport didn't grow as predicted into the American market. Having 8 teams in a league, and only having 2 that don't make the playoffs makes the regular season seem pretty unimportant and well..lame compared to the NFL, even though with 3 downs instead of 4 there is a TON more action, not to mention more spectacular offensive receptions with the larger enzones and such too.

I'll be watching the game. Dubious, you live in SK?

3 downs instead of 4. Slightly different size of field.

Interesting game because it is more based on passing than running.

I lived over there for 12 years....never went to a game.

The best shirt I saw while partying hard all week was an older lady (good looking) with a shirt that said, "Put your Grey Cup in my Regina!"

The city was wild with the Rider victory! Thanks to all CFL fans for making this 101st Grey Cup memorable! I had a blast!!! (and didn't goto work yesterday)....

Post by: ridley1 on November 27, 2013, 01:58:32 PM: I believe that the Canadian Football is a better game. Much bigger field, more wide open play.

The NFL has the better players...because it can afford to pay them.
