A Hearty Hello

(sound of a beer cracking open)

(a long sip is heard, followed by a slurp of the mustache)

(long inhale)


Hullo there, internet folks! Name of Young, Jim Young. They called me Dirty Thirty back in the day, and if you take a good look at that mustache right there, you'll know the name follows me still. Now I done played in the CFL for awhile - hell I even had some time playing for your Vikings back in the 60s, that Joe Kapp could sling it! - so I wanted to let you guys in on a few things about this here CFL and everything that it can offer. You see, football to the north is fun! It's just we do it a little differently up there, and it sure will help your pocketbook if you can figure it out quickly!

1. It seems like home field advantage is huge. Take a look at the records. Hamilton and Winnipeg have just two wins each, and four losses, but the two wins for both of them came at home. Prime example of a team playing for pride at home. There are 3 teams in an 8 team league that are undefeated at home. I'm guessing the beer cup snake has something to do with this.

2. Montreal likes to score. They put 51 up against Saskatoon, but lost. They pounded Toronto too. They like to score and be scored upon. MENTAL NOTE.

3. Montreal's quarterback? CHRIS LEAK FROM FLORIDA. Hey, Dickfer, are you going all in, orrrrrrrrrr?

4. Edmonton Eskimos: They are having problems this year. The solution? JARED ZABRANSKY, YES IT'S HIM. Oh my, how do they not score 70 a game?

So get those bets in, Southerners!
