>football

>in June

gametime bump.

also hoping a canadian will join and answer questions about rules.

Time to watch the Alouettes show promise, only to blow it at the end.

>opening kickoff of the season
>goes out of bounds

this could be fun

...

They only get 3 downs?

WHY BAGGED MALK

Football again thank god

Yep. And 12 dudes

winston venable still play's the A's, right

Wanna bandwagon a CFL team to follow lads, who to go with?

the CFL has 2 teams with the same nickname.

Two. Same. Name.

>(hint) starts with R

Would be nice if the CFL adopted NCAA rules. Thats gotta be hard for players to go from NCAA to these rules.

what ever due North on you, dude

>Calgary

Only need 3 downs

BC LIONS
kinda depends on your timezone though

*had

Used to start on both sides of the ball in highschool but never went to college. Could I try out for the CFL and get on a roster?

REDBLACKS

I live in Georgia so eastern time zone. Dont wanna follow a shit team but not the odds on favorite to win the league either. Just a comfy contender will do.

I just don't get why leafs only have three downs. It takes a lot of strategy away from the game, to be honest. It seems like everyone just chucks it downfield way too often.

That said, this is certainly better than boreball.

If you were born in Canada and count as a non import player, yes.

A guy who win a 50 yard field goal challenge got a tryout.

Gives us Canadians an advantage though.

I vote Ottawa

They play offense and defense?

Eskimos, great history, warren moon etc..

Is your city shit? If so come cheer for hamilton or winnipeg

That single point rule is pretty cool. I can imagine how tense a punt into the endzone would be at the end of a game where the kicking team needed one point to win.

>montrelel

CFL isn't like NFL, games don't overlap, so you could watch every game. See if there's a team you like.

The way the rosters change, and that 6/9 teams make the playoffs, any team could conceivably win in week one. A few years ago a team started 0-5 and won the grey cup.

If we added a fourth down, we would have to change other rules about field size or receivers in motion.

I love it and the punting/kicking strategy here. Just obviously wouldn't work in the NFL with the field size.

Seeing all these linemen with single digit numbers is triggering my autism, what do?

Good stuff lads. I'll keep an eye on those two teams specifically. I like the Eskimo jersey colors

>manlet got heemd

I don't have the webm, maybe someone else does?

youtube.com/watch?v=d5BFaykcxGg

when will they learn?

some coke?

He's gonna be dizzy after that hit.

HEEM SLEEPY

Based Canucks like their murderball

>sending your punter back to recover a field goal

Those Montreal jerseys are highschool tier. Winnipeg's are nice tho

...

>highschool tier
Is that good or bad?

agreed. Their endzone looks pretty huge too.

>weather delay

Shit

Bad. They're ugly and look very cheap.

Anyone get dizzy seeing that Kevin Glenn montage?

>tfw you didn't get your food ready by kickoff
>based Thor is having a storm so I can

>game stopped for player safety
>keeping a team in Winnipeg

Double standard.

>9 team league
What the hell? What's stopping one team from just becoming an unstoppable dynasty in this league?

did they just take a tornadoe break?

Well if you guys really want to watch semi-pro tier football while the weather delay is on, Arena League is on CBS Sports

Weather delay.. No bueno.

LETS GO ESKIMOS

I personally find arena league to be unwatchable.

...

>tfw used to go to arena games when Birmingham had a team
That and the XFL were such a meme time. I miss it

>started 0-5 and won the grey cup
What a time that was to be alive

I-I like them.
They grey one they wore for a military appreciation game was pretty neat though.

The Edmonton Eskimos were that in the 80's with Warren Moon

What's stopping a team from doing that now? Just pick up Johnny Football and run shit for years

I don't blame you, the worst teams in the league are REALLY bad
the best ones are pretty entertaining though
>tfw DC is getting a team next year
I wish I could've experience it when it was at its height. Now it's just kinda sad, but I'll still go just as an excuse to get drunk.

nobody is doing that with Johnny

>double header tomorrow
Oh great, it's another kickoff delayed in BC because of muh TSN episode.

I guess I'll give it a shot since theirs nothing else on. its been a while since i really gave it a chance.

Based canucks seem to love football. Why dont they get an NFL team? They already have NBA and MLB teams...

Any anons from Winnipeg in here?
How is the weather over there?

The best players go up to the NFL.

>Cameron Wake had more sacks than an entire team in the CFL
>Garcia would have had a dynasty in Calgary if he didn't go to San Francisco
>Brandon Browner had a bigger contract with the Saints than the CFL salary cap

It's also hard keeping the needed Canadian players for the ratio.

Thats an Eastern Canada thing. Just nuke them already, please and thanks.

>Dunigan: "Eat shit and stay in bounds you pussy"

Whos this pussy nigger talking about not getting hit in a contact sport

is it on watch espn?????

the deuce, and delayed

stegall on suicide watch

NFL would have to change their corporate structure by being international
NFL and CFL have a non compete gentleman's agreement
No public funding for the needed $1 billion stadium
Last time it was seriously considered Canadian government said they would do whatever possible to stop it

>Milt's face when BTFO by based Dunigan

apologize

Did Winnipeg model their brand after the Washington Huskies? The logo, the colors, even the stadiums look the exact same.

When you're as money as Milt you don't need to get touched.
youtube.com/watch?v=sKLVJiD5w1I

no, based the Blue Bombers off of Jou Louis

that W is the same
and you're right same color scheme

Would he be able to adapt to the larger surface?

There is 3 downs, field is wider and linger

Nigga that would benefit him. All he does is run around the field and improvise.

got damn

Could Alabama or Ohio State beat the worst CFL team on a neutral field

so wait
Arbie's went to the Final their first year?

BC lions. We have a nice jersey.

How many of those College players could make the NFL? 20?
How many of those guys would make CFL? 30?

You could say the best NCAA are better than the best CFL players. Part of the reason CFL has lower talent is teams have to play Canadians. The worst American in the CFL is a lot better than the worst player in the NCAA.

I'd still take the worst CFL team. Even playing according to the NCAA.

...

If the argonauts can't get fan support it could eventually fold. Also NFL minimum seating is like 54000 and bc place is like 56k so it just slides in but the Canadian dollar is too shit to depend on.

Also Canadian government has a massive inferiority complex so it won't ever happen

Edmonton did it again a few years later.

second

>-40 during the winter
>daily lightning storms during the summer
>one million mosquitoes per capita
>native capital of Canada

How do people live in Winnipeg. Johnathon Toews must be grateful for his chance to move to Chiraq.

>Buck Pierce
Poor guy.

dang, how long is this storm?

Seahawks is enough for BC

>native capital
heh
>live in queerbec
>live on da rez
I hate it here already. Can't imagine what Winnipeg is like.

TSN thinks another 20 minutes.

A Canadian-European league would be awesome actually

we just need the YuroBowl back

Timezones would get a little fucked up. NFL should go back to subsidizing a league over there though.

Seattle, Detroit and Buffalo sell 10% of their tickets to Canadians.

My girlfriend just gave me the green light to buy seahawks cowboys pre season tix.
First NFL game and I actually get to see my team.
Fuck the xercucks

no wonder detroit and buffalo have such shit attendance

Where's Schultzy?

McManus eyes are too close

do they keep saying "tribe" because indians is now politically incorrect

>needing a fourth down

When will Americans learn
