With the Browns all Fubar, shouldn't we here in Cleveland have some football team to root for?  It is only 50 miles away from the Cleveland shore line to the Canadian shoreline across Lake Erie.  (that is less than the distance from Cleveland to Canton).

What CFL team would be your choice?

Here are your choices. Apparently there are now only 9 teams in that league.

1  Calgary y 17 13 3 1 27 518 326 7-1-0 6-2-1 7-2-0
2  Winnipeg x 17 11 6 0 22 531 487 6-3-0 5-3-0 5-4-0
3  Edmonton x 17 11 6 0 22 482 482 6-3-0 5-3-0 4-5-0
4  Saskatchewan x 17 10 7 0 20 497 402 5-3-0 5-4-0 4-5-0
5  BC 17 7 10 0 14 456 461 3-5-0 4-5-0 3-7-0

EAST DIVISION

RK TEAM GP W L T PTS F A HOME AWAY DIV
1  Ottawa x 18 8 9 1 17 495 452 3-5-1 5-4-0 5-3-0
2  Toronto x 17 8 9 0 16 442 443 6-3-0 2-6-0 6-2-0
3  Hamilton 17 5 12 0 10 410 545 1-7-0 4-5-0 3-4-0
4  Montreal 17 3 14 0 6 314 547 3-6-0 0-8-0 1-6-0

As for having to pick a team, I would go with Calgary. If they can survive that weather, they deserve to win some football games.

Edmonton is quite a bit further north of Calgary with weather probably worse. Edmonton sits in a wide open plain.  Calgary has some protection from mountains to the west.   I have been to both.  (but not in winter).

Edmonton is not called the Eskimos for nothing.

I like the Argonauts myself. And that's only because they have a cool name.  There is another option. The Legends Football League has potential too.

Don't know about that.  You will have to explain it.

Some call it the Lingerie Football League. I've watched some here and there. It may not be great football from one point of view. From another point of view..,Hot bodied babes with skimpy unis playing tackle football. You won't regret looking into it further.

Was well aware of them long ago......I just didn't know that the league was still around, having thought that the novelty had worn off.

Ya, their still on. It can be entertaining in it's own way too.

If the "process" continues, the Browns may end up in the CFL.

..... where they'd be lucky to go .500

omg who is that tall thick baby on the far left? I want to wrestle her into submission this instant.

She is probably a tackle or guard. And it could be iffy on who wrestles who into submission. Still more fun than watching the Browns tho.
