lol - after about 3 seconds of thinking 'Awesome!' this was the next thought in my head.

The NFL has better training programs for officials and the CFL wants to take advantage of that. For The NFL the benefit is getting officials more time at live games before the NFL season starts. Pretty good article here http://www.thespec.com/sports-story/6510680-watch-for-nfl-officials-on-cfl-fields/ "The most notable element of the new arrangement will see NFL officials working pre-season and regular season CFL games starting this season. And while there is the perception in some quarters that American officials are better than their Canadian counterparts, it's unlikely that one NFL official on a crew of seven is going to make any appreciable difference. In reality, an American presence on Canadian fields was the price the CFL had to pay in the quid-pro-quo with the NFL. Senior vice-president of officiating Dean Blandino has also taken some heat for the quality of his crews the last few seasons, and getting his guys more live-action training opportunities was the main attraction for the U.S. league. For the CFL, the real benefit comes in being able to send Canadian officials to the United States for both training — the NFL has a much more extensive and well-funded program in that regard — and experience. Both leagues need reps: the NFL officials will get them in-game at the CFL level, while the CFL officials will work NFL training camps."

I know it's not an American plane, but I'd love to see the Lancaster from Hamilton, Ont do a flyover with the American B-25J.

I'm just a dreamer who hopes for a home/away home/away rotation in the schedule. I hate the consecutive road games or the dreaded three in a row at home or away. As for the 'lots of home games late will help our playoff push' nonsense, coming up to year 14 with seasons I have yet to see this mythical effect. If we don't make the playoffs I'd rather be comfy, give me early games at home over late games at home if it has to be one or the other.

Anyone know what a taxi from the airport to the stadium costs (roughly)?

^ That means Christmas Eve or Christmas at home v Mia. Might be able to make the 24th work. No way in hell the 25th works.

I notice that Christmas is on a Sunday this year. What's the NFL norm for Christmas games? 24th 25th?

I get excited for this every year, then by 8:05pm tonight I'll be like... whatever. Basically I end up writing 8 dates on the calendar and go through the yearly 'you can't miss' routine with my wife - 'you can't miss' ______ 'birthday' 'you can't miss Thanksgiving!' (CDN) 'you can't miss ____'. Then I say 'yes I can' and we don't speak for a couple of hours. Good times.

It's gotta be some mixture of Montana and Brady. Brady gets the benefit of extra protection from the rules re: protecting QBs as the chosen ones in life the universe and everything. Personally, when I think of Tom I always think of #2.

Do I get a discount for bringing my own garbage bag?

This sucks. I hope he recovers.

I renewed mine. Addictions are hard to break.

Jobs in Buffalo are hard to find. The 2016 Buffalo Bills promise you won't have to find money for playoff tickets.

Are the cameras on me? Are the cameras on me? Yep, there it is. Knew the camera would be on me.

So far so good

Panthers 24 Broncos 16

Jays 92/93 but it would pale in comparison to the Bills winning. I was able to see 4 or 5 Jays games a year but the Bills have had me with seasons for 13 years. There's a bigger chunk of me sitting in Buffalo waiting for glory.

I could 3/4 heartidly semi-root for the Panthers just for a laugh. I could 1/2 heartidly semi-root for the Jets. I can't stand the idea of the Seahawks or Patriots winning it. Beyond that I don't care.

They should really bring in a review system so we could challenge these calls.

I'm tired of hoping for Brady injuries to occur. It's sad and pathetic. This time I'm rooting for food poisoning.

Possibly the best post of all time

Radio? I'll be driving south through Pennsylvania and the Virginias during the game. Anyone know a good radio station(s) to listen in on?

If he drops a pass does he get to try again? If so is it once per half or once per game?

Last 2 times the Jays made the World Series the Bills were in the Superbowl. My championship indicator is whether the Jays make the World Series this year. Throw all the other stats out the window!
