I know the the RRs are gone, but the RBs will still get my support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Loves me some CFL football. Gonna try to get to a Hamilton game this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleshifter Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ahhhh, let the games begin! Do you have a favorite in the CFL? I'm kind of torn between Hamilton and Toronto, and root for those guys unless they are playing each other. Yes but what the hell is a Redblack? Quite seriously, I think they are named for the red and black plaid shirts traditionally worn by lumberjacks. When Ottawa had the Roughriders, they were named for the logging rough riders (riding logs down rivers?), whereas the Saskatchewan Rough Riders were named for the ranching rough riders (riding horses, etc.). Fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Also got the Ball State wonder Jonathan Newsome, although he's injured. TJ Graham is on the Alouettes practice squad And Russell Wilson is, well, damn it. Can't believe we traded up for this guy leaving Wilson on the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Roughriders have Naaman and Duron Carter. Not bad Also Ernest Jackson from UB on Montreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not a big fan, but will catch a few games a year -especially now, as my need for a football fix grows stronger. Would appreciate someone posting a pre-season expose on who's good, bad and expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crowing Rooster Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I watch the CFL and I think that the over all play of the league has steady improved in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Would love to see NFL talent with CFL field and rules. All that space and all that motion, it would be a crazy shootout. Also, go BC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT02 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I like watching the CFL if i am in front of the TV, will turn it on before ant baseball or WNBA game thats for sure There is a pretty big gap between interest in a baseball game and WNBA! I don't mind the CFL but I'd watch an MLB game first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I enjoy catching a CFL game now and then. Bigger field, unlimited motion, three downs. It's pretty fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 And the goalposts are at the GOAL line, where they belong. Do you need to cross the back of the end zone to score a TD? No! We win XXV if the goalposts are left where they belong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
