    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...

    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.

    Ivor Wynne Stadium - Hamilton (30,000 (43,000 with temporary seating)

    Comcast RSNs and systems, plus NESN in Boston, Altitude Sports & Entertainment in Denver, Cox Sport Television Louisiana, Bright House Networks Catch 47 Tampa Bay Sports Television, and other regional sports networks will carry games in standard definition. These games will also be carried live on America One Television, which serves standard broadcast stations coast-to-coast.

    CFL is better than Arena and NFLE in my opinion. Gotta get my fix of football in.

    I agree....NFLE and Arena football are a distant 3rd and 4th when it comes to pro football.

    Also, you can watch the games on broadband. TSN.ca is carrying a game tonight, should be a good one.
