It’s fun to watch about once a year. The quality of play is OK for the most part. But I like it because of the bigger field, the extra guy, the elimination of all the illegal motion penalties, the one point “rouge”, and, especially, the no blocking on punts (I think they still do that).
Go Rough Riders! THAT is what they should be called! (What the heck kind of a name is ‘RedBlacks’? Isn’t the name ‘microagression’ to ‘First Nations’ and those of African heritage? </sarc>)
And the Canadian Football League has a surprisingly colorful history unknown to many Americans. There has been rivalries historically that were just intense as we see in the NFL today.
Should be a good game. I’d like to see Ottawa win it in their second year, but Edmonton has the #1 defence. My dog ain’t in it (Alouettes).
