Geebrr Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Come to terms with the fact most Americans don't care about the CFL much, or even respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnzo Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 From the comments: “At least our team name isn’t as bad as the RedBlacks.” – Dan Snyder That's actually kinda funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I thought it was a pretty funny article. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Pretty funny article... this had to be my favourite line: "Despite a very long history, the Riders have only won the Grey Cup 4 times, so mathematically you might want to root elsewhere, even if they did win pretty recently (2013)" Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrg Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 KSK's glory days are at least 3 years in the rearview mirror, but they still put out some entertaining stuff on occasion. This was worth a chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Another way to score! They call it a single, and despite examining the rule on Wikipedia for like 5 minutes, I still have no real idea what the hell it is, but it counts as one point and I think is the catalyst for this thing: As far as I can tell, it’s basically a safety but worth one point. Plus, the team that gets scored on gets the ball, instead of how a safety gets the team that scored the ball. I have no idea how they determine if it’s a safety or a single. I would guess moose are involved I love that kickball video…especially with that Marc Trestman WTF look of his. “What just happened? Oh, we won? Whew.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I loved this part: “But I don’t know the players” you say. Yeah? You know Michael Sam! You remember Chad Johnson/Ochocinco! Also, don’t pretend you know all the players in American football. Name me a defender on the Tennessee Titans. See? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan007 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Reading the comments, it's sad how many Americans have this hate on for anything not from the U.S. Even some Canadians that think it's below them to watch the CFL.

BattleLevel Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Good for a laugh. I never really thought about how many CFL teams have mascots that don't really match up with the team name basslicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I thought it was pretty good. especially the team breakdowns. The bombers one was one of the better ones. mega man is a great idea. and he spat on the riders! !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 It bugs me even if in jest when people talk about not understanding single points. It's a really ******* simple rule. Kicked ball goes through the endzone or the returner is downed in the endzone it's 1 point. Not rocket surgery there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I take it more as why do you get a single point. Which is a valid question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I also dislike the goal posts being in the way, but can't think of a reasonable alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I take it more as why do you get a single point. Which is a valid question. why do you get 2 points on a safety? Why 3 when you kick the ball through the uprights? Why 6 when you advance the ball into the endzone? Because it's in the rules that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
