A Whole New World

When I first was invited to participate on this blog I just thought it was a football blog.  A place for me to write any musings I may have regarding college or NFL (aka stupid) football. But when I returned with the intention of making my first contribution I noticed it has a very specific brand of football as the subject. 

Ah, the CFL. It's a great place. It's no XFL, but it's awfully close. It's been a learning experience thus far.  To be honest I hadn't really given the Canadien Football League much thought. Ever. So, before I began, I needed to do a little research.

A few things I noticed...

Each player has an import/non-import status. That's to make sure we keep the foreigners separate. Especially that American scum.

There are two injured lists.  The injured list and the 9-game injured list.  I'm assuming this works like MLBs DL system.  Seems reasonable.  Much better than the PUP list in the NFL (stupid).

And boy, there are some names in that league. It's like Texas and hockey had a bunch of kids and pulled some popular names from a hat. There's anything from Chris Cvetkovic or Keyuo Craver to Glenn January and Terence Jeffers-Harris.  And that's what I found on one team, with no additional research.

This is an exciting time to be blogging. Especially about something as special as the CFL.  I wholeheartedly look forward to learning more about this league and it's many (I assume) nuances. And quirks. It is Canadien for Gods sake.
