I have to admit I do channel surf unless it's the Vikings especially when the CFL season is still going. Tonight I'll be watching as I don't mind Dallas. I'll watch teams that I don't like who have exCFLers like Miami, Detroit and a few others. Will be keeping an eye on Medlock.
It's been difficult to watch Minnesota the last few seasons so I admit my NFL watching has scaled back quite a bit. With digital cable you get a better variety of games I guess, but it's hard to get "up" and watch a Buffalo Bills game.
I cheer for anyone who plays the Bills. I know that the argument has been made that a strong Bills team in Buffalo makes it less likely that they or any NFL team will end up in Toronto but I still can't cheer for those guys. I just can't and Toronto doesn't really seem to be on the NFL's radar anyway.
my team is tennessee....im watching now just because nothing else is on, but would never watch an nfl game over a cfl game no matter whos playing
I can't get into this boring stuff after I made the post. I hate the over the top hype machine. I want to watch football not all the crappy singers leading up to the game. Oh and please sing the friggin anthem and get on with it. These friggin sylists butchering it.
I used to think like you but now I'm neutral on the Bills. I just don't care either way.Quote:

I follow the Detroit Lions year round...and YES...i participate in both a pickem, and suicide NFL pool...so i follow it. (Its football)
That said, I only watch the Lions games until the CFL season is over, after that i watch the NFL whenever its on TV.
The CFL is the BEST, most EXCITING brand of Football ever...and anything ARGO's always comes first....but i'd rather watch football than most other crap on TV.
I admit that I'd probably watch a Vikings game over anything in the CFL not involving the Argonauts with the exception of playoffs.
The Vikings are in pretty tough this year. The Lions, Bears and Packers should all be over .500 so it doesn't leave much opportunity. I am still hoping for an improvement to say 5 or 6 wins. A healthy Adrion Peterson will go a long way to help keep the pressure off Ponder. If you thought the Argos WR corps of the past few years was bad take a look at the Vikings. Percy Harvin is great, but there isn't much more beyond that.
The New York Jets for me - Big Green Wall.....
I have such little interest this year. I see The Vikes ending up with another real good draft pick next year.
I thought the same thing while watching that anthem...Queen Latifah butchered the anthem, turning it into a gospel song that would be more appropriate in a baptist church which was rather odd seeing that it was a national anthem in a football stadium. She dragged it out way too long in my opinion, and that ending was horrible. I know the NFL goes out of their way to show egalitarianism but it's getting a little ridiculous...from the rules that insist certain people get interviewed for jobs to having teams hiring a security detail for certain players...it's becoming a friggin farce.Quote:

Do you think Frank Clair, a CFL coaching legend would have been remembered as "the professor" if he dressed like coaches do today. Funny, people laughed at John Huard's orange prison jumpsuit in his first coaching game with the Argos back in 2000, but that would be considered 'formal wear' compared to how most pro football coaches look today...lol
Joe Galat was the last CFL coach to wear a suit on the sidelines back in the mid 1980s. It is a shame that that is no longer an option for coaches although the suit on the sidelines pretty much disappeared in the CFL by the end of the 1960's, other than Galat and Leo Cahill wearing a suit before almost 70k at Olympic Stadium in 1977.Quote:
