Well ok, fine, it looks like football season is officially here. At least our wonderful Houston Texans have their first exhibition game tonight.
I am not really a Texans fan. I wasn’t much of an Oiler fan either. I went to one Oiler game and that is all of the NFL I have attended.
I will probably watch the Canadian Football game tonight. It is regular season British Columbia Lions at the Calgary Stampeders.
The CFL has some rules changes that make the games more interesting to watch:
- Wider and longer field (110 yards with 25-yard-deep end zones)
- 3 downs to make 10 yards
- 3 players can be in motion when the ball is snapped, and they can be moving forward
- No fair catches, but the receiving player gets a 5-yard halo, or it is a 15-yard penalty
- No touchbacks. Failure to bring the ball back out of the end zone costs 1 point. A ball kicked through the back or out of bounds in the end zone scores 1 point.
