Here's the 5 reasons why I'm not a fan of the CFL:
#5: Most QB's play for most of the teams. Today the CFL started and Henry Burris is on the Tiger Cats. How many teams has he played for? 3. It's musical chairs. Remember Matt Dunigan? He played for 5 teams. Seems a little bush league for me.
#4: Most teams make the playoffs. Actually ALL of them except one.
#3: There are only 8 teams. That's only 2 divisions in the NFL. Remember when the Ottawa Roughriders were in the league? They had the same name as the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Why would the league allow that?
#2: The no yards penalty and the constant kicking drives me nuts. Since it's only 3 downs there is a lot of punts. Then a penalty flag flies for the 1st 8 weeks on a no yards penalty because you got to give them 5 yards.
#1: It's a subpar league with subpar players. I am sorry to disrespect those who play and organize this league but compared to the alternatives in football it's true. Players would much rather play in the NFL. Faster, bigger, stronger, and the best of the best. Bigger everything except for the balls. haha
Instead of only being negative, here's 5 things I LIKE about the CFL.
#5: The format of the last two minutes makes the game very exciting.
#4: The Canadian Rule. Teams must have a minimum of 41 players, including two players who shall be identified as quarterbacks and 39 other players, of whom not more than 19 may be imports. http://www.cfl.ca/page/game_rule_ratio
#3: It's Canadian. Good enough reason alone, eh?
#2: The Labour Day Classics. People love these battles.
#1: The Grey Cup. Usually every year the Grey Cup is very exciting. Remember when the Roughriders couldn't count and had too many men out on the field and because of the penalty there was a second try for a field goal where Montreal won? AWKWARD!
Of course I could be wrong but I highly doubt it. Happy Canada Weekend.
