So this is my first shot at getting you hooked .....let me be crack cocaine then and let's enjoy ourselves

I am a avid watcher of CFL and have been a very active member of the top 2 CFL groups on Facebook , I hope some of those reading this are at least familiar with me. Those that are not I am a recent (2014-2015 ) seasons and I am a Hamilton Tiger Cats fan. I guess they were easy choice since I am also a Pittsburgh Steelers fan in the NFL. My favorite player is Brandon Banks aka Speedy B and I was familiar with him from his days as a Redskin. I was drawn into CFL beginning of 2014 season by chance and a real football with drawl from NFL Super Bowl, lol. But I noticed good and bad things about the CFL very quickly , I noticed a lack of QB safety and a real problem with players making dumb penalties. I cannot stress enough that the CFL has o extend training camp 1 week and add 1 more preseason game so these players/refs can all get into a better groove and understanding of the game. I love how a well played CFL game has a faster pace to it and there are players who are just amazing athletes who simply are NFL caliber but CFL is more to their liking. Weather that is because a player is a national or because the player fits into a CFL scheme better or any number of other reasons is what makes CFL so appealing. Unlike indoor or arena football this game stays much truer to what we all know of and love as football in North America. I really root for the National players like Cornish , Messum , Harris , Dressler , and at same time get to root and see some of my favorite college players and I really root for Craig Roh as he is from Michigan who I am a fan of in college as well as a fan of Western Kentucky aka WKU. This is the first of what will be many many posts from me yet to come , as I write it's about 15 minutes to kickoff so I'm going to sign off Go Ti-Cats Eat em raw!!!!
