The LFFL 14 draft is this Sunday guys.

League has currently 12 teams, is that the final number?

CFL > NFL preseason.

The NFL preseason is where you can see the future stars of the CFL!

Here's a write-up on the system I'll be supporting this season.

We had a CFL team here back in the 1990's.  It was popular, a fun (and affordable) summer night out and they put a great effort into it after being dickteased by the NFL year after year, but by the middle of the 3rd quarter you just wanted to go the fuck home.

It was not the NFL, and having a CFL team was like kissing your sister;  sure she had a decent set of tits, but it just didn't feel right.

:lol:  I remember the "Pro football is BACK in Baltimore" billboards up all over 695.

I'm sure the teams appreciated the lovely facilities in Memorial Stadium.  Toilets without doors or even stalls: FIRST CLASS.

They were good enough for Johnny Unitas.  Who did those CFL punks think they were?

I'm pretty sure the Texans (SA CFL team) made it to the playoffs in their one year of existence.  They showed up like...I think the year after the WLAF team, the Riders, folded.

Dunno, but they didn't do anything to improve them once NFL teams started playing there again.

The Riders played in San Marcos.  I went to a couple of their games.  Babe Laufenberg was on the team.

I would love to join, but yahoo is trash and won't let me log in without calling them to confirm I'm not a hacker.  I've spent a total of 5 hours on hold for that shit and still haven't gotten through.  Fuck them. :mad:

Yes indeed.  Alamo Stadium, then some shit went down and they moved to where SWTSU/TXST played/plays, then I guess more shit went down and they were gone.  Bummer.

Except to say there was only going to be a 24 month wait until they were in a new stadium.   :blurgh:

It was not the NFL, and having a CFL team was like kissing your sister;  sure she had a decent set of tits, but it just didn't feel right.

The Baltimore Stallions were the one and only jewel of the CFL US expansion, and of course to this day will be remembered as the only US franchise to win the Grey Cup.  Supposedly there is a group of Baltimore fans who makes the trip to the Grey Cup each year even still.

But look - I'm not trying to Canuck-bomb the NFL thread.  I understand why most Americans have no interest in three-down football.  But if you're such a football-addict that you were "jonesing to watch the HOF game" I am going to suggest that watching meaningful CFL regular season games in July and August is a more-than-adequate fix to your addiction.

By the way though... your Winnipeg Blue Bombers are currently the cream of the CFL with a 5-1 record.   :cool:
