Trivial fun fact: were you aware the Canadian 'Football' League is contemplating a change to four downs, from the Canadian traditional three downs? The stated rationale appears to be that doing so would increase fan appeal.

Second trivial fun fact: my home town/university Mustangs won the Vanier Cup a week ago ... Canadian university 'football' championship. As I understand it, this is the eighth time the Mustangs have won this venerable trophy.

*Why is this game called 'football'? To me, 'football' is soccer. Kick-offs, punts, and fgs aside, the ball is never kicked in North American 'football'. Very odd.
