I have had the theory for a number of years that you should go to
whatever sporting event that the locals go to. In Canada there are
basically two options. No 1 is definitely Hockey. They are fanatical
about it, but it's currently off season. No 2 would be the CFL. So
yesterday the boys & I went to a CFL game. The Calgary Stampeders
were playing the Toronto Argos.
CFL is very much like Gridiron, but there are 2 less players on the field & there are only 4 downs instead of 5. They also tend not to stuff around between downs like the Americans do. What it means is that there is much more throwing & running when compared with the American variant. It's a much more interesting game to watch.
Calgary won 33-10.
The side show, as always, is the cheer leaders
Below are the lads at the CFL game. From left to right. Shawn, Shane, Dale & me. Notice the random beside Shawn with the local colours on his face. A good time was had by all.
