Reviews on a gaime

If there is a morning after pill, the National Football League (NFL) needs it. Universally, the Toronto print media panned the event.

Live reviewers complained about all the commercial breaks in the action. There were a lot of fans who also thought that the Canadian Football League was a poor cousin. But after going to some CFL games myself, there are few commercial breaks and the flow of the game moves quickly. Having the game played in the same venue gave the same impression.

The Fan590 which is also owned by the Rogers Media Co., the major sponsor of the event, even panned it. The best quote being "...dog, with fleas."

Another wag said... "Go Argos!"

The NFL vs. the CFL?

Hmmmm, let's see now...

In one league we have a lot of slow, humongous, steroid-bloated giants at every single position, crashing into each other on a very tiny field. They can hardly miss each other.

In the other league, we have a lot of small, fast players, scooting around on a gigantic field. They often miss each other.

I just can't decide which game is more exciting...
