[QUOTE="Pegger Packer, post: 359169, member: 3244"] For the record, I believe the CFL has a contract with NFL network to air one game a week. Last year, the first game they aired was the EPIC week 1 Grey Cup rematch between the Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders that was freaking EPIC (and I hate both teams). [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqn-Uj9yPtE]YouTube - Best Opening game in CFL history[/ame] That overtime TD catch by S.J Green for the 2pt conversion just might be the greatest catch I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER. I assume that the deal with NFL Network is still in place, so I suggest that anyone interested in watching some entertaining football during the NFL offseason should check out a game or two this summer! Anyways, yes, I would still consider the Green Bay Packers the World Champions, despite the Canadian Football League never getting a chance to challenge for that title. I WILL say, just for the sake of bragging about superiority, that the Green Bay Packers had a wide receiver named Milt Stegall on their practise roster in 1995, but he was cut due to a rather severe knee injury late in training camp...... Later that year, his agent would call him about signing a contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (my hometown team), and in the following 13 years, Milt Stegall would become the most consistent, most dangerous, and arguably one of the greatest receivers in "american" football history (should be mentioned in the same breath as Jerry Rice). His stats: CFL Regular Season Career stats: Receptions: 850 Yards: 15,110* TDs: 147* *Both are CFL records I love that both of my favourite teams are connected by one of my favourite players of all time, and I'm infinitely grateful that I was able to witness Stegall's greatness first hand. :happy0005: ANYWAYS, now I'm ranting about the CFL (expect plenty of this sort of stuff during the NFL offseason AKA CFL regular season!) (I'll keep it to the Atrium:thumbsup), but I'll reiterate that I consider the Super Bowl to be the more prestigious trophy to own, BUT the Grey Cup is the more awe-inspiring football trophy to look at! [IMG]http://www.beijingboyce.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/grey-cup-2009-irish-volunteer-beijing-china.jpg[/IMG] *obligatory image featuring mounties in a Canadian post* Super Bowl is great and all, but 98 going on 99 years of Grey Cup legacy is nothing to scoff at. and just LOOK AT THAT THING. THAT's a trophy that you would need two hands to lift over your head, and isn't that the way it should be? [/QUOTE]
