Maybe this thread should've been in the WEZ, hope it's not misplaced and sorry if it is, but I really got a good laugh out of this, and it is in a way related to Miami Football, so there it is:
I am from Montreal, Canada. Huge Cane fan, unfortunately hadn't found a good way to follow the team as much as I would've liked because of the distance and lack of interest for CFB out here before I found CanesInSight, which has been a blessing for me. Love everything here btw, ''Good job, good effort'' as ya'll like to say down in Miami lol. No but seriously, thanks for everything.
Anyways, getting to my story now. As you may very well not be aware of, there is a league called the Canadian Football League here in the grater north. It's a weird game related to football in many ways, but in which they play on an enormous field, with 12 players per side on the field and 3 downs instead of 4. Weird, I know. The players are a heteroclit mixup of Canadians, ex-division 2 or 3 players and a few ones from div. 1. Tonight was the league opener, and I had to pinch myself when a player received a punt for the glamorous (lol) Saskatchewan Roughriders, and the announcer called his name: Sinorice Moss. Just couldn't believe it, hadn't heard his name in years it seemed like, would have thought he had been either retired or on an NFL practice squad or something. Seeing him in the CFL really made me chuckle.
So that's it, I saw it as an opportunity mostly to thank all the guys out here who pass out great info such as Dmoney, Peter, Larry, Los, etc. and everyone who make this place a great one for intelligent, undertanding and educated (and sometimes quite darn funny) conversation on Miami Football, all the while sharing a Canado-Miamian tale, which doesn't happen too often!
