I love the CFL, NCAA, and the NFL but have difficulty keeping up with all of them and, by the time the Super Bowl is over, I'm done.
The only reason I have any hope of knowing what's going on in the NCAA and NFL is because I have nine year old at home obsessed with sports and statistics.
Also, I know what's happening in the NFL this season because the 49ers are relevant. Otherwise, I'm just a casual observer until December.
Good one, thanks RFD.
There are LOTS of things to use this on including discounted gift cards and Lego. I have a couple of Lego sets already in the basement waiting for me, so I better find a good, gift giving use for this!
Quite honestly, all it comes down to is that people just don't care. Only, the super-duper-die-hards want twelve months of football. There are not enough super-duper-die-hards that will watch or care. The XFL-Dos, will fail like the XFL-Uno and the AAF and all the other failed leagues. If it's not NCAA or NFL, it won't fly, bankroll or not.
There's a small period of time after the Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs and the draft where they allow their reporters to cover the Bombers. It's usually during camp because it's cheap to send them to the stadium. The reporters generally use this as a vacay.
Why is brought to our attention? Probably because player movements are posted on CFL.ca, so it would be hard to dismiss.
Also, you can't ask questions about the Bombers during Jets season. There is no media covering this team.
Listening to Coach's press conference now... Kind of hard to hear but sounds like Streveler didn't practice today.
EDIT:
Nice that Naylor, not in Winnipeg, breaks this.
