I have zero idea why the exhibition season is 4 freekin' games. Years ago the CFL (Canuck Comical Football League) scrapped 2 exibition games and made the regular season 18 games that count. I think this is week 3 of the exhibition games. If one see's a starter take the field in the last 2 games it will be a kicker. It's not any less $$ to buy a ducket to these games. No one can give me a logical reason to have 4 games that count for nothing. Believe me the brass knows after the pre season and 2 games into it who will be and who will not be on the roster. If they find they made the wrong choice there are hundreds of free agents out there to choose from, maybe a 1000 or more. Many of the Talking Heads are behind extending the season by 2 meaningful games. Steve Tasker being one. His son Luke plays for our Hamilton Tiger Cats and can see 1st hand how this is a logical move. The CFL has made many changes to the rules like the longer point after attempt and challeges for penalties that the NFL later adopts after watching how it works here. There are many scenarios to make this a thing. 2 byes, Making the 1st game a week before what is openning now, many logical scenarios.
Hate is a strong word I seldom use but me hates exhibition games. Even when I played with a leather helmet on all one thinks is "Don't get hurt, do not get hurt, please Lord don't let me get hurt!!!"
P.S. Mr. Brown might want to try a leather helmet.
