IMO, preseason is lame. Chances are whatever happens in the preseason games will be wiped off the slate and not matter within the first 2-3 regular games.

Preseason is more fun in the second half. You get to see the players fighting for a roster spot give it their all if the coaching staff calls the plays to allow them to do so. It's a good fix for now, and in 4 weeks I'll be booked up every sunday with my ass on a couch!

The CFL game is much faster and more interesting. 20 yard deep endzones, 6 yards wider, 10 yards longer, up to 6 wide receivers and only 3 downs. Makes for a lot more passing and no boring runs up the middle. If you are a fan of the west coast offense, you'd like CFL football. Oh yeah, you only get 25 seconds in the huddle, so the game goes faster too.

I watch the CFL games on WorldSport HD. Its on Dish Network. Them Canadians know how to play football, eh?

The CFL is awesome, and I've been to a Blue Bomber game live when I was younger. Nothing better than some WR coming across on a slant to catch a TD pass only to drop like a brick cause he hit the goal post in the front of the end zone!
