Well, there's the problem right there.
It's kind of like the socialists v the rino's. Second raters playing with our money.

Yeh, for sure. Actually, Canada has a thriving pro football league. Why, the NFL was invited to play is beyond me. A stupid idea by all parties if you ask me.
I think the NFL is simply looking for more of a fan base after losing all those American supporters. They might even be willing to show up in the Philippines if they knew there were potential fans to be gained.
Excellent point. We lived near Brown County Stadium in Milwaukee when I was a kid, so I started going to games as a toddler. My Grandma was also a die-hard Milwaukee Braves (then!) fan, so we were at that stadium a lot!
I can’t remember a Sunday that didn’t involve Church and then Green Bay Packer Football, bratwurst and beer.
And you’re right - the memories of those days more than make up for the stupidity that is the NFL now. :)
Why not 90 yards plus two 10 yard end zones and leave the goalposts where they were (goal lines of the CFL’s 110 yard field)?
The goal posts in CFL are at the goal line (I thought they were a yard or two deep, but apparently not). In some places the post must be a yard or two deep, but the uprights are even with the goal line.
I think the field must have been 90 yards long. A CFL field is 110 yards long, but the goal posts are at goal line, not at the end zone line. End zones are typically 20 yards deep, unless the stadium is also used for baseball or track.
Apparently only in Montreal and Toronto are the end zones truncated.
So they put the goal line at the 10 yard lines, with the goal posts 10 yards beyond that....So they put the goal posts at their original location?
Those $439 seats should have been discounted 20% since the field was shorted 20%. I, too, was thinking of the $ for food and parking. Mr. b used to be a big football fan but not since the kneeling. He couldn’t be bothered with the Cowboy pre-season game on tv.
My only claim to NFL fame is Oilers’ Toni Fritsch came to Thanksgiving one year so I have his bolo. Dang, didn’t get it autographed.
Ferris, I’m with you, last night’s supper was cheap enough. Made Chinese with some leftover rice, a pound of $2.99 beef (decent sale since beef averages $8 here - of course, there were only 3 packages at that price with higher unit prices sneakily mixed in), an onion, carrots, celery and spices. Total about $4 so $1 per serving. Mr. b requested dessert so threw a can of pineapple into a boxed angel food cake mix.
There are always better things to do!
