100 yd touchdown on final play
 

I know most of you probably don't care, but this happened last night and i thought it was pretty cool. Maybe those of you more into sports can appreciate it.

Under a minute left Winnipeg fumbles the ball on 3rd down when they needed 1/2 a yard. If they got the 1/2 yard it would be 1st down and they could take a knee and the game would be over. (3 down football in CFL). Edmonton recovers fumble and scores to go up by 2 points with 15 seconds left. Final play of the game Winnipeg puts up the hail mary pass...

2 touchdowns in the final 15 seconds of the game.

awesome but that defense was fucking stupid for rushing 5 or 6 guys...what the fuck play like 2 up front and everyone else back to stop that shit nubs

Id like to see it but your link sucks ass, it keeps stopping and starting. Dont know if its on this end or the sites fault. I cant wait til real football starts!!!!!!!!!!

yeha, dfence was completly stupid. thats bad coaching. i don't know what defensive coach was thinking rishing 5 on the last play of the game. all they needed to do was get the secondary to sit back and wait for the guy to catch the ball and take him out. game over. but thats the eskimos for ya. i love it when they lose.

yeah i saw it on cnn this morning. Im beggining to like to really like the cfl. Maybe it's because the NFL season hasn't begun yet..... yeah, thats it.

ps: i didnt know they had a canadian sportscenter

eskimos clubbing seals, good, football not so good

I updated the link. Found a better one:

click on the top one. Winnipeg a@ Edmonton #28

and yeah, we have sportscentre because ESPN bought TSN.

two things strike me on that.

1 the 55 yard line (Ill never get over that)
2 a running track around the field? What is this high school?

I dunno why you guys rag on the CFL so much. It's a slightly different brand of football, but that doesn't mean it sucks.

I'm not even a fan of football, but I know a decent sports product when I see it.

field is also 12 yards wider i believe.

thats commonwealth stadium. it hosted the commonwealth games so it needed the track for all that stuff. it's a 60,000 seat stadium.

it also held the largest hockey game ever in 2003.

And yeah, don't rag on it. Ricky Williams has a 4 yard avg and 1 TD, there are good players here and it's entertaining to watch for Canadians.

its just wierd to see a track at a football stadium. All NFL and most college stadiums (in the US) are solely dedicated to football. It reminds me of coaching my sons team at the middle school

I think Edmonton is the only stadium in the league with a track in it.

In BC, Calgary, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Hamilton and Montreal the stadiums are all dedicated to their CFL team except for when Montreal plays in the Olympic Stadium with more seats. Thats where the Expos used to play.

its just sooo different, what if you turned on the TV and saw the new AmericanNHL and it had 2 red lines? You would look at that and say "thats all f*cked up" The CFL may be a great sport, I dont know. If you enjoy it then have fun but it is too weird for me. NFL is classic and to see it messed with is disturbing

The funny thing is, the CFL has been around a helluva long time, so if anything the CFL game is just as "classic". It has its beginnings around 1909 when Earl Grey donated the Grey Cup, but the CFL as we know it has been around since 1954, I believe.

I know what you're saying, I really do. I know that the NFL in the USA is a religion, an institution that is sacred on Sunday/Monday nights.

Don't dismiss a whole sport that millions of people enjoy just because it's a little different.
