Sunday night CFL

 

[GreyCrow]

Had a look at this and Arena Football as well. Interesting tactics and time management. Might need to watch some more

 

[Shupe]

Yeah I watched some Arena and CFL over the weekend. Strange rules, that's for sure. Looks like a lot of fun to play, but I prefer to watch the real thing. I can't stand all the moving before the snap.

Watching it now. It's like the NFL but weird and low attendance and crowd noise.

Basically like watching the NRL, but far better

What's with giant endzone?

Watching the NRL - or any sport Seven, Nine & Ten do - must be a mind**** as a foreigner. Commentators too busy pretending to be comedians to actually tell you what the **** is happening.

What's with giant endzone?

It's supposed to be to increase the amount of scoring I think, along with a bigger field and slightly bigger ball and the offense being able have one player in motion prior to the snap.

CFL is back on ESPN. season kickoff game on ESPN2 right now.

Double header on Sunday morning

and looks like every game will be shown on WatchESPN

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Nice. Did enjoy a CFL game here and there.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Most Canadians don't even watch it now.

Southern Ontario especially (where a third of Canadians live). 2 NHL teams, 1 MLB team, 1 NBA team.

Would television viewers return to the CFL if – as I expect – the 2019/2020 NHL season is cancelled due to COVID-19 and MLB cannot begin by June when the CFL season ordinary opens?

How much of a boost would missing the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic prove for a sport??

There's so little live sport on TV at the moment the yanks were fawning over the Saturday afternoon AFL & NRL - so if the CFL is the first pro league to get going it will get great viewership.

There's so little live sport on TV at the moment the yanks were fawning over the Saturday afternoon AFL & NRL - so if the CFL is the first pro league to get going it will get great viewership.

Two questions:

1. How likely is it in your humble opinion that the CFL will prove the first professional league (perhaps with the qualification “outside Asia” as COVID-19 recovery is much earlier there) to get going after the current COVID-19 hiatus?
2. How long-term will such gains prove for the CFL?

 

[AJ_2000]

I'm no expert on this! No more than the rest of us. So no idea about the likelihood of the CFL getting going first.

Long term benifits are limited unless they're the only show on for a while.

CFL announces regular season won't start until at least September

Virus pushes CFL start back at least until Sept.

The CFL said Wednesday that its season won't begin until September at the earliest, and if it does resume, the Grey Cup will be hosted by the team with the best regular-season record of the two finalists.
