The 2008 Canadian Football League regular season gets underway this week. My favorite team, the BC (British Columbia) Lions, begins their '08 campaign for the Grey Cup on the road against Western Division rival Calgary Stampeders tonight. Yes, that's my mini-helmet and my t-shirt.
How did I get to like the CFL? Back in '82, the NFL had a labor dispute, and ESPN had the brains to put CFL games to stem the loss of football on TV. Since that time, I got hooked. In fact, I enjoy the CFL more than the NFL, due to the speed of the Canadian product, and watch it whenever I can. And yes, I have been to a CFL game, a Lions one in fact, and enjoyed it all the more.
Go Lions!
