(Would this man sexually assault anyone?)
At the start of the season I talked about the relative merits of the CFL versus other professional sports leagues. The reason I love this league is because of the quality of its people. I mean that both on and off the field. We at greenisthecolour.ca love to give the Calgary Stampeders a hard time. Every story needs a villain, and the Stamps seems to relish that role. They are cocky, arrogant, and love to talk trash and push the rules to the limit (and beyond). But when the perceived "bad people" in the CFL just flex their muscles and talk a little trash, then you know you have it pretty good. I enjoy watching the NFL. They are masters of promoting their game and the athletic ability of the players is incredible. However the "bad people" in the NFL allegedly commit uncountable DUIs, sexually assault young ladies, kill people, torture dogs, do all sorts of illegal substances, get into "altercations" at certain establishments, twitter pictures of their junk to employees, etc. And this is only the stuff that makes the news. Is there a correlation between huge salaries and inappropriate behavior? Probably. Do the NFL players deserve their fair share of the massive league revenue? Absolutely. So while we await the news on Brett Favre's nether regions, and keep hearing about how great a person Michael Vick is now, I'm going to be watching two great teams play some awesome football in Sunday's Grey Cup. Both are character teams filled with character guys and the true winners will be the fans.
