  1. Colts are #1, then I also like the Giants (my wife and her family are all life-long Giants fans, so I'm not as dumb as I look), because of Eli Manning and their rich history.  I've always liked the KC Chiefs...great uniforms and love watching games on TV when they are at Arrowhead.  I also follow Da Bears...great players through the years.

  2. Found this....it was NBC Sports Network -- 

     

    The CFL, as of immediately prior to the 2012 season, had not secured a television partner in the United States. By default, the rights rested with the ESPN Networks, through their part-ownership of TSN, but they did not schedule the league for air on any of its traditional television networks.[35] In late July 2012, NBC Sports Network acquired rights to the CFL for the remainder of the 2012 season. The NBCSN deal included nine regular season games starting August 27 (including both Labour Day Classic games) and all the playoffs

  3. Thank YOU Barry.  I was unaware NFL Network showed any.  I rarely watch it unless there is a Thursday Night game....or the Combine :)

     

    I'm pretty sure it's NFL Network...I have all my sports channels saved to a Favorites list, so it may have been NBC Sports Network, but I don't think so.  Anyway, the CFL is fun to watch and on occasion I'll recognize a name or two.

  4. 1.  He's just not interested in going...Pro Bowl doesn't matter to him.

     

    2.  I'd be fine doing away with it and just naming players to something similar to an All-American Team.  That way, the players chosen get that honor and don't have to risk injury by playing in a meaningless game.  

     

    I think part of the problem is that the Pro Bowl in is Hawaii...who can afford to go there to see a game?  The other major sports rotate to the cities with franchises and it becomes an event lasting 2-3 days.  So, if you keep the game, then play it in NFL cities and add events for the fans and some skill competitions.  I know everyone is excited about Luck making it to the Pro Bowl, but he's only there because a player chosen has decided not to go, which is the case for many other players who are now going under those circumstances.  Kinda takes the shine off of it for me.

  5. Thanks for the answers, guys.  I thought that was the case, but I had no factual basis for it.  I'm also surprised there's not more talent found in the CFL.  I know it's not the NFL, but guys can go there and develop their skills.  Obviously, some have made the jump from the CFL to the NFL, and if an organization has their radar on, they can find the occasional gem as we did in Freeman.

     

    I know the NFL Network shows some CFL game, because I've watched.  But, they are not on as much as in the past.  You would think the demand for ANY kind of football on TV would prompt one of the 'lesser known' channels to sign a deal to broadcast CFL games.

  6. i'm going to ask a dumb question....how can he sign with a team if the FA signing period hasn't started yet?  It's not like he was on their roster and just signed an extension.  Is it because he hasn't played in the NFL before?  I don't keep up with all the rules and news regarding this stuff, but I know there are a lot of you here that do, so I'd appreciate some help on this.  Thanks in advance.

  7. If it's Hamilton, then at least Luck is familiar with him, so that may be an advantage.  I'm sure whoever is hired, they will have a system, so to speak, but if they're smart they will build an offense that utilizes the personnel and talent we have.

     

    And, if Hamilton is hired, then we'll be PepStrong, too!!   :headspin:
