As far as the 20 bucks for Ontario...no thanks that's just what we need here yet another Eastern metropolis. It's bad enough a lot of folks in the media think America starts in New York and stops in Boston.

well... I thought that the hockey jab was deliberate, and do deserved less mention (simply because the truth is self evident, the sport doesn't require defending - plus even tho I pnly play girls hockey, I bet I could jersey you in the corner...
). But I thought you were being chauvenistic about the football.
So supposing that you are well versed in the grid-iron sport, u have to admit that the rules of the game, the season starting in summer and endig before Christmas, the sheer tradition makes the Canadian game so desireable.
Marketing is another matter tho. Size, population, college dedication makes the NFL sport grander. Not to mention the $ that changes hands inboth contracts and gambling!
Heck even I make more $ than some CFL players. But I don't work for ony 6 months a year either.
btw, up here it seems that the USA is all about California. sometimes it' refreshing to see eastern cities represented in the media...
