Thre is going to be 30 flags a game at the beginning of the season, and I believe something like that can turn away a lot of possible fans just as much as low scoring can.

    Agree big-time AV: sick of all the rule changes in sport that supposedly are to make the game better but often don\t; and I am more of a sports old school, traditional purist i guess (?) - still po'd that the CFL does not feature 25 yard end zones (;O)) - the rule changes this year are garbage IMO - just as is the moron NFL kick-off rule now that sees most kick-offs result in no return.

    Wayyyy too many flags in the CFL now with refs thinking the have to be or ending up as such a factor. Friend of mine who used to be a big CFL fan but is probably more into the NFL now, has been referring to the CFL as the Constant Flag League for years now - he will be laughing in disgust this year I bet.

    I actually do like the convert change though. It takes the automatic aspect out of it. Long time since guys like Cutler and Ilesic would miss a few converts every year. I would go for 2 almost every time if I was coaching...with the exception being a 1 point giving you the lead.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
