Yoho, National Park
In light of the up and coming Super Bowl, I thought I would publish a football related article. I am not really a Canadian or American football fan, but I respect the National Football League for running an organization where all the teams are valuable, including the small market ones. I found this link awhile back that shows that the CFL and NFL (AFL) actually played exhibition games.

It would be interesting to see the CFL and NFL play exhibition games now. Clearly the NFL is the superior league, but it would be interesting to see a NFL team play the BC Lions here in Vancouver, even if with NFL rules.
ReplyDeleteWell they need to bring in more money for BC Place Stadium...maybe they could afford a new roof.
ReplyDeleteIf the NFL was here it would sell out every game in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI tried to unite us, but they turned me down.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
ReplyDeleteWell at least you tried...
