I found myself warming up to CFL as well. I liked the 3 down series instead of 4, but probably just because it seems to favor a passing attack, which means more opportunities to possibly see AE haul in another catch. It also means you might only be 2 more downs from seeing AE return a punt.

With the NFL having grown too big for its own britches, it's refreshing to see people playing because they truly love the game. As mentioned in a previous post, the player interviews are refreshing because these folks are in touch with reality.

I would have loved to see Armanti play QB in the CFL. Their style of game is built for his skill set.

I don't know - the games I have watched this season all seemed to big-bodied QBs who weren't very mobile --- kinda like the NFL guys

Watching both Armanti and Ed Gainey I have seen that the CFL is a 1st down league. If you do not get at least 5 yrds. on 1st down you live behind the sticks. I enjoy watching the CFL. They are trying to expand to a 10 team league. They tried expansion to the US a few years back that failed miserably. Plus they begin their season in June, giving us football from June to February which is a win-win.
