3. been watching CFL on our new

cable station in chicago. I must say I kind of like it - no challenges, no commercial after every 3rd play, lots of action, good announcers.

We had a play in the Bears game last week where 9 MINUTES went by between plays, thanks to an injury followed by a challenge. I have been out of the house the last two sundays, and taped the game. Both times I set the VCR to run for 3-1/2 hrs, and both times I missed the end of regulation time. They are pushing this 43-year NFL fan away from the game.

Very open and lots of movement. Also, the stadiums are very intimate, which makes it nice.

5. the games telecast from the northern points

(Winnipeg, Edmonton) bring me back to the glory days of the NFL - people crammed into bleachers, bundled up in parkas, looking like regular folks. NFL's gotten a little too commercial, IMO

6. Do NFL fans

puke and piss all over people's property like they do here (in Edmonton?);-)

Commonwealth Stadium is only about 200 feet from my apartment.

7. dunno

they have made NFL into a tv game, so that's the way i watch it. As annoying as those delays are while watching at home, they are even worse at the stadium.

There are rampant rumors of Cubs fans trashing the property near Wrigley Field after every game.
