3. "...as soon as the NFL farted."

Intentional, fat-fingering or Freudian slip?

I enjoy the difference in rules/style, though I occasionally forget there's no fourth down coming (Why on earth are they punting on third-...oh, yeah").

I'm a football and hockey fan, having given up on baseball when the '94 strike happened (and I was a Tigers fan, so I hear these days there's not much to cheer for there now, anyway), so when hockey finally wraps up in the spring, it's a couple of dead months for me until pre-season NFL and college for realsies start up. So, the CFL is a nice filler. I'm not much vested in the outcomes and just enjoy it for the distraction. I do sorta root for the Argos, and feel a bit sorry for them that they seem to draw so few fans. And, I like to watch some individual college players, like the Winnipeg QB Zach Collaros, who played down the road from me at the U of Cincinnati.
