Expertise
I am an avid fan of the Saskatchewan Roughriders (real fans bleed green!) and have been since 1964 (ever since I was born in Kinistino, SK. If I don`t personally know the answer to your question regarding any CFL team or player, I will take great steps and find the answer for you... after all, this is where you come for specific answers to your questions, not for referrals to web sites where YOU can find your answer!
Experience
Avid fan of the CFL and truly believe that our game is better than the NFL... why does it take the NFL 4 downs to do what the CFL does in 3? And what is with this "fair catch" rule? It's football... the players are SUPPOSED to get tackled!! We also have larger fields, our league has been around MUCH longer than the NFL.
