More fun than a head-butt to the chest
Now that the World Cup is finally done, it's possible that the local media will rediscover the form of football in which players don't require a team of paramedics to scrape them up every time there's body contact. And it should be said that, even when everyone else is busy testing out words like "nil" and "chestbutt," the beat reporters covering the Argos do a fine job (this goes double for ones that some of us may share a newsroom and the occasional pint with). But when you're covering the games themselves, it's hard to cover the most unique part of the CFL - the stuff that happens in the stands, in the players' spare time, and at the afterparties. And if you're writing for a family audience, a lot of that stuff might not be printable anyway.
See, this is where we come in. Sure, we'll bitch about the Argos' O-line and indulge our unhealthy obsessions with the likes of Clifford Ivory and Andre Talbot. But there are plenty of sites out there - forces for both good and evil - that take these things a little seriously. So we're gonna have some fun with it. Hopefully you'll join us.
