50% CFL Happiness

Big football weekend. Big games. Big hopes. Big dreams.

I may have mentioned a time or 7 how much I enjoy the CFL. How much I enjoy {& prefer} Canadian Football to those other guys south of us. They may steal recruit all the excessively talented players & coaches by offering them buckets of money, but our game seems faster, bigger, & better to me. TO ME ~ for anyone south of the border, I'm not knocking your game. It's a perfectly acceptable game. But I prefer ours.

Plus, the season is much shorter, & there are only 8 teams to keep track of. Much more conducive to my poor, Alzheimer addled brain.

So, like I said. Big football weekend. The standings are so close right now, especially in the west, that any & all maneuvering to get my beloved Roughriders in a better spot is what I'm hoping for now.

  • The Green & White ended a 3 game losing streak with a big win over rivals Calgary. 25% happiness.
  • BC beats Toronto. 25% unhappiness.
  • Hamilton, the underdogs in the league, fight their way to a big win over Montreal after losing 6 in a row. 25% happiness.
  • Edmonton beats Winnipeg. 25% unhappiness.

There is now a 4-way tie for first place in the league ~ of which 3 teams are from the west, 1 team being the Good Guys in Green!

I do lurve my football. So much so that I had the games on yesterday, while Puffy was busy playing on his computer. He forgot. He FORGOT the games were on.






I'm now officially the man of the house.

UPDATE:
some other blogs who describe games better than me:

Nope, there is no longer any talking in our house.

It's just better this way :-)

He's a big boy. If he can't keep track of the schedule on his own, then he's going to miss games.
