So...one of the Grey Cup teams lost? I care? Canadian Football Discussion Thread

I really can't figure out Rugby, don't even bother. They have a scrum, they get the ball, they get tackled, they kick it backwards, etc. it's pretty confusing. But anyway I'll just chalk up all the Canadian Football oddities to being closer related to rugby than the current American version, which has had nine hundred different changes through time.

And no bunching up the receivers does not make it easier, since it is easier to intercept the ball as well. The smaller red zone makes it harder, as you mentioned, so does the smaller endzone.

Yeah I looked up Alouette, it's a song about plucking the feathers off a skylark, I guess a skylark is an alouette? Or something like that? Except the song is what is the alouette, or something. Eh, whatever, they're from Montreal, I'm sure the rest of Canada can't stand them or something.

Yeah sorry about Saskatchewan losing, dude. Better luck next year.

Basically just play American football but even time someone is being a pussy (armor, continual breaks, unimited substituions) you get to punch them in the face.
