Well right now if you hurry you can catch FIFA 2015 World Beach Soccer! I never knew there was such a thing but TSN has it covered.

Re: TSN Team 1040
I wasn't directing my comment at you. Just a general comment about people saying "it's different" because it's one I've heard a lot before.Puck wrote:Actually, I was suggesting it's 'just different' as the argument from BOTH sides. The CFL guys love the runbacks on special teams, the NFL guys complain about the dimensions, etc.
Yep I don't pretend that the NHL is a big draw in the United States, particularly in most states. It's definitely not in the same league as NFL, MLB or NBA in the US. Having said that though it's obviously bigger than the CFL.
Nope. To be fair I don't have live TV anymore but I'm pretty sure people have been more fixated on Wimbledon. I brought up the World Cup to a few colleagues, especially after England beat Canada but they didn't even know it was on. Small sample size but I don't think it generated too much excitement here.Puck wrote:On a similar note, rockalt, how was England's Women's World Cup accomplishment viewed? Was there decent coverage? Any excitement?

The CFL is a bush league . It's basically at a beer league level compared to the NFL . The football is bad enough but the ongoing fiascos and stupid rules don't do a damn thing to improve the image of the league .

Re: TSN Team 1040
The Lions in the 70's were awesome!
Boo Birds feasting on QBs like Jerry Tagge and Paul Brothers.
Guaranteed every game: 10 "Give the ball to leroy"s + 5 drunken fistfights!
G U A R A N T E E D
I knew Vancouver fans were going to boo the Canadian players at the Summit Series.
Because hey, that's what Vancouver fans did in the 70s!
(they didn't boo the Canucks because "new team grace period")
Tens of thousands of fans buying tickets just so they could get drunk and boo!
Lions fans in those days were known for booing the starting QB right off the field
... and then cheering wildly when the backup came in.
Only to turn on said backup when he eventually became the starter.
Kinda like what Dude was talking about last night Re: starter/backup Canuck goalies.
Ah yes, there is a large subset of "special" Vancouver fans.
I can hardly wait until they begin booing Miller relentlessly
... and start with the "Fire Benning" chants.
Wet Coast Bedwetters!!

Sounds like it was a barn burner at BC place tonight
35-32 comeback OT win.

Tonights game is a classic example of why you are blowing smoke out your ass. You probably didn't watch it, but if you did you would have seen why the CFL is so popular with real football fans. Classic last play comeback and winning in overtime by the Lions.
The same game in the NFL would have been an 11 point win for Sask. simply because the NFL lets leading teams run out the clock with as many much as 1:30 left in the game. There's nothing more exciting as watching said team go down on one knee three times to run out the clock . Oh yes there also was a lot of kick-off run backs in this game, not like the NFL's pussy-play kick through the end-zone and touch-back on the 20.

Re: TSN Team 1040
Not sure how this turned into a CFL vs NFL debate, I just was merely pointing out the shifting 18-34 demographic in the local sports market and how the Whitecaps will own the no. 2 spot in this market. You can't stop a moving train with that much momentum. The CFL is dying in the 3 major Canadian markets cause of summer sport competition from the MSL
The Canadian Football Legue will eventually be called the Prairie Football League.

1040 morning show still sucks with Goofus Jake and Pratt
TSN sucks only Laughs balls, that site is getting worse and worse all the time.

Re: TSN Team 1040
Does team 1040 have a weird man crush on Eddie Lack? This is the 2nd time in about a week they have had him on the show.

Re: TSN Team 1040
Team 1040's poll question this morning - "should the Canucks sign Eddie Lack next summer?" LMAO
I think team 1040 Vancouver needs grief counselling with the loss of Lack
