Any Vikings fans follow the CFL? This Sunday sees the Montreal Alouettes face the Edmonton Eskimos and they have seen each other 3 of the last 4 Grey Cups...very well run organizations!
No, I am not starting this thread to have you blast a very good style of football! Just interested to see who follows the Canadian game in Viking land!

They have 12 men on each side. That means that the defense can always be balanced. Which is one reason why CFL games are boring.

Boring hasn't been invented up here, yet! Some people love the wide open style with the big field and the type of game it is!
Signed...Never Bored...not invented yet!

I follow the standings when they are posted in the local newspaper...but I don't get any of the games, so I don't really have a favorite or anything. But from what I've seen, the games are pretty wide open...kinda like college football.

Cool. Maybe it's a lot better than I think.

Boring? What do you mean the defense is always balanced?

All I know is you don't have any 6 receiver sets in th NFL.

I love the CFL, it's just too bad the stamps had to choke in their playoffs game and fumble it away constantly.

CFL = the crazy fun league. and thats damn true. we have touchdown dances where the whole team can dance without penatlies. we only need 20 seconds to get the ball into play. no way cfl is boring. i love watching it.

my eskimos go into battle tommorow and i will be cheering my heart out for them!

I was watching most of the first half the eskimos looked pretty good. I thought they were go to blow out montreal. To bad I missed the second half. Congrats to the Eskimos on wining the grey cup in overtime.
