Misc: CFL (Canadian Football League)

[SC Cy]

I'm low-key excited the CFL season starts tonight. I'm sure most on here haven't watched much but I find the style of football to be exciting. It's a little bit like arena football on a giant field. The teams are all pretty classic (Edmonton Eskimos, Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts, etc.) and the uniforms are clean and crisp.

One thing I've always wondered...why aren't more former Cyclones in the CFL? I think there are two on rosters for the upcoming season.

Where is it televised?

Where is it televised?

The ESPN networks. Most are on ESPN2 and ESPNews. A handful will be on ESPN+.

The CFL has a limit on how many "imports" (non-Canadians) can be on each team.

For example, former ISU guys Cleyon Laing and Sheldon Napastuk stuck around the CFL for awhile because they didn't count against that limit.

CFL games are actually really fun to watch, plus you will recognize players from time to time. Helps fill a football gap in June and July for me. Go RoughRiders!

I'm a fan free agent. I've narrowed it down to Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, or Winnipeg as my team.

Edmonton and Winnipeg should be pretty good this year, especially Winnipeg. Montreal and Toronto will struggle, but both of those teams have a Cyclone on the roster!
