"And the Roughriders go two-and-out."

Craziness.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders, as a matter of fact, if it makes any difference

Oh man, and the endzone is like 50 yards long, and wider than the field of play

Seriously, you could build a house in there

The Ottawa Rough Riders ceased to exist like a decade ago.

Yeah, three downs. It's amazing that the games have such high scores - must be the wider fields and terrible defence.

Don't you also get a point for punting through the endzone?

Yep, and for any kind of touchback.

I was also not aware of either of these. This would be the first CFL game I have ever watched.

And for taking a knee after a missed fieldgoal, which can also be run back like a kickoff or a punt.

Incidentally, Da_J, I believe you are watching my Tiger-Cats kickin' Saskatchewan's ass.

Wait what the hell? A CFL field is 110 yards long?

Incidentally, I am. It is currently 9-0 after one quarter of play.

Yeah, but what's really screwy is that the uprights are at the front of the endzone. That's just hazardous.

Via Xbox 360's ESPN 3, yes. With not much else to do tonight, I just jumped on there and caught the 9th inning of the Rays-Yankees game. After it ended, I was feeling football moreso than WSOP.

Chris Williams has now made this a 16-0 game. But my gosh, DAT ENDZONE

It's probably so that you don't have to add 30 yards on to each FG to account for the endzone

But yeah, the goalpost in front struck me as odd too. The NFL used to be the same way but changed things for those hazard reasons, and now seeing it like that is just strange

Oh man, the 5th straight two-and-out for the Roughriders. Meanwhile, eggs are frying in the endzone.

Yeah, you're witnessing the evidence that the normally very good Riders are in for their worst season in a while.

That's what they said in the pre-game that I was only half listening to. The Roughriders had much higher expectations for this season but have begun 0-2. Both teams are seeking their first win.

23-0 as Chris Williams picks up TD #2

Yeah, not seeing much D so far. Dropped passes and "major penalties" are about it

SSK pickin' up their first 1st down of the game!

And I didn't even noticed the double 50 yardlines with a "C" in the center of the field until it was pointed out in this topic.

The flag colors are the reverse of the NFL, too. Challenge is yellow and penalty is red. Wonder what the significance of that is.

Well, Riders were looking good to score some sort of points after a turnover, and then they fumbled it away. Then a 10-yard loss on the Rider's later punt return. 23-0 at the half. I don't think I plan on watching any of the second half, but I wanted to see a one-pointer of some sort!
