P.S. Just ignore all those bashers. It's puzzling why they keep showing up on this thread. Don't they have anything better to do?

We know what we like even though they seem intent on convincing us we don't. Can you imagine if we went into some NFL thread and started mouthing off like that about their league. It's beyond belief really. They just get completely incensed and irate that we're not into what they're into.

I could easily have been a basher back but I bet he really took the time to focus on his statistical information to prove that NFL in fact is better in every way possible then CFL. The reality really is I just like to support my country by watching Canadian related sports. If it be on tv or live.

It's going to be televised nationally (and I imagine they will have segments on the downtown street parties and the massive tailgate party too!)

Still waiting for you two dopes to prove I was bashing the CFL... which I didn't, all I said was football fans watch both, and if you enjoy the CFL you'd like the NFL too... if you're a football fan!

Alright then. Go and start another useless conversation elsewhere. You already proved it through the context in your comments and statements.

Is this necessary?

CFL and NFL are two different sports though. Different field, different rules that require different body types. It is almost saying that to be a football fan, you also would have to enjoy Gaelic football, Australian football and maybe Rugby too.

Not really, same sport somewhat different game... coaches up here use pretty much the same playbooks they do down south. Sure the rules are a little different with things like no fair catch. But the biggest difference is definantly the size of the field and how it accomodates smaller players on both offence & defence. But it's very similar to the NFL... with the exception of the CFL passing more, which I like.

The post game interview with Ricky Ray would be the same win or loss. Absolutely no intensity, no care, no emotion in him or this team.

Rumours about Cats future in Hamilton

August 09, 2010
http://www.thespec.com/article/822979

Councillor Sam Merulla says he's been informed that the the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are planning to leave town.

He says they have a $17-million dollar deal with the City of Quebec.

SteelTown · #**476** Posted **Aug 9, 2010, 7:37 PM**

"I regret that over the course of the past year, you have not been sensitive to our concerns as your tenant. My major regret is the harsh reality that after next year, there will be no home for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the City where we shared so much success and positive experiences together. We note that even in the city’s own report, that without a tenant you are well beyond $60 million dollars short of building a 25,000 seat facility.

We will play out our days at Ivor Wynne."

Bob Young, Ti Cats owner.

SteelTown · #**477** Posted **Aug 9, 2010, 7:39 PM**

Hamilton Tiger Cats will be history I guess.

JayM · #**478** Posted **Aug 9, 2010, 7:58 PM**

Wow @ Hamilton.

Acajack · #**479** Posted **Aug 9, 2010, 8:06 PM**

The Ticats aren't going anywhere.

JayM · #**480** Posted **Aug 9, 2010, 8:12 PM**

Then it must be a threat to say build or we will leave.
