Well this weekend Canada will play the 91st Grey Cup emblematic of professional football superiority. Yes, 91 years of Grey Cup, what is the Super Bowl at now? 38 or so? Got some catching up to do.
Real men only need three chances to make 10 yards.
Real men play on a field 5 yards wider, 10 yards longer and with 20 yard deep end-zones so that passing is still very much a weapon inside the 5.
Real men do not force Referees to do the 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Faeries' because we do not have a touch-back rule. If the ball is kicked into the end-zone on anything other than a kick-off the receiving team must get the ball out of the end-zone or they will lose 1 point. In polite society that is called a rouge.
Real men do not have the opportunity to wave their hand up in the air effectively saying, "Please don't hit me, I just want to catch the ball." In the CFL you must give the receiver 5 yards to catch the ball and he must catch it. As soon as he touches the ball it is live.
Real men play with 12 players and the offense can have up to 4 men in motion prior to the snap.
Real men play defense 1 yard off the ball so they have to work harder to keep the goal line safe.
Real men play outdoors in Regina in Novemberrrrr. Latitiude is 50 26'N, Green Bay's 'frozen tundra' is only 44 29'N or about 6 degrees S or ~415 miles SOUTH of Regina, this year's Grey Cup city. Regina is expected to be -2C at game time which is unseasonably warm because last week it was a more seasonable -20C (-4F). Regina is 200,000 people but an additional 20,000 have arrived from around the world. People are having to stay 2 hours away so many Reginans have opened their doors to allow for 'Home Stay'. Let's see that happen in any Super Bowl city?
Oh, yeah our balls are bigger too. Just ask Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia, Warren Moon, Joe Theisman to name a few with Grey Cup rings or Bud Grant, you might have heard of him too.
If you can find ESPN 2 (I think they are carrying it, if not find the CBC if you live near the 'longest undefended border in the world') on Sunday and watch the 91st Annual Grey Cup game from Regina. 18 of the last twenty years the game has not been decided until the last play of the game, the way a football championship should be decided.
The above definitely does not reflect the position of the owners of this BBS, they are merely the rantings of a deranged Canadian football fan.
Cheers.
