For those of you who are tired of following futbol as a substitute for real football, NFL Network is offering you another international substitute to feed your fix until August: The Canadian Football League (CFL). That's right, it's Canuck football time, eh! NFL Network will broadcast 14 CFL games starting tonight with defending champion Montreal taking on Saskatchewan tonight. If you want a "Colts-related" reason to watch CFL games, just remember that the Colts have very strong ties to the CFL. Bill Polian once worked for the Montreal Alouettes, and current Colts player Sam Giguere is from Sherbrooke (just outside Montreal). Polian has does a lot of scouting of CFL players.
But, if Canadian football just isn't your thing (or you are like many others and do not get NFL Network), just keep telling yourself that training camp opens in exactly one month.
