This time of the year is always so damn painful......mini-camps are over and now the wait begins for training camps to open up. Well...at least the CFL is kicking off soon... And here it is, a PDF file showing the US TV schedule.
For the Americans who have never watched the CFL, your missing out! Finally our great game is getting some exposure south of the boarder! GO ARGOS!
I wonder if I'll get this on my Comcast cable in the Bay Area. Do they run in CFL or is it all passing because of the longer field/3 down series?
They run, it's more of a passing league though. But it's not like Arena Football where you never ever run.
That's cool, it sounds more interesting than Arena football. I'll have to check it out if it airs here.
