Which the NFL lockout potentially running into the regular season, perhaps it's time for us (as NFL fans) to follow a football league with players who want to play, and owners that want to have games.

I would say we Cards fans should follow the Calgary Stampeders. In my experience, Calgarians are the most like us in their collective mindset.

screw the cfl.. we still have college football
Gee I totally agree with you but it is also a good time to give your finger to the league and show your anger with their decision making. If we don't buy their product they will feel the loss of profit. Personally I wouldn't buy any tickets that are supporting NFL owners or the league for their stadiums.

All Cards fans are not from AZ.

I'm a 40 year Card fan from MONTREAL, and an ALOUETTE ticket holder.

Feel free to support whomever, the Grey Cup is staying in MTL.

What I wanna know is why do Canadians have to have a Cup for every sport that teams engrave on them?

Also surprised the CFL championship game is the largest sporting event in Canada.. (i googled it too).. I would have thought for sure something hockey related would be bigger.. Does America even televise the CFL championship game? I cant remember ever seeing a CFL game on tv down here... Not that I wanna see.. Again.. I got college football to watch..

I voted for Calgary for several reasons...I have been there and it's a nice city..I have been to the Calgary Stampede and it was worth every penny...hell the chuck wagon races are worth the price of a ticket. I also like the way Barry Melrose pronounces it differently than anyone else...calGARY

When I went to Canada, the American dollar was much stronger than it is now...$ 1.35 to the Canadian dollar.

My wife and I went to a corndog stand before going to the rodeo at the Stampede. I ordered 2 corndogs and 2 cokes...gave the vendor a $20 American and got my 2 dogs and $ 28 dollars in change back.....what a country!!!

Dart championships on tv that last for days on end...oh the HORROR

NFL Network has games... and while I love the NFL the CFL is a more exciting game.

My family is a Rider family. Love that they are one of the few teams owned by the public. Saturday nights I'll still be following the Pac-10, though. Maybe even those two new teams...

To drink the Molson from.

My vote goes to Montreal Alouettes. Marc Trestman, their HC, is one of the good guys.
