Would it be worth trying to lobby ESPN, or should we just give up and be happy with the 2 hour highlights show?

The huge field and the backfield pre-snap motion take some getting used to, but it's still good football. Even better, the CFL is now the Triple-A farm system for the NFL. Canadians here may protest this notion, but a scrub of the rosters will show that the allowable number of non-Canadians all have some NFL ties. Don’t forget the CFL.

Sure it has it's fault (too numerous to count really), but there's never really a chance of going a year without college football. This is why I love college football.

That'd be kinda awesome, actually. Perhaps the major networks could broadcast EPL games and MLS playoff games in the time slots allotted for football? That’d be kinda awesome, actually.

Hm.. The EPL, the World Cups (Rugby and football), the AFL (thanks ESPN360!)...that's plenty o' football for me. When it comes to Gridiron football, I have only really enjoyed the professional game, never really "getting" the college version. And I have just been losing more and more interest in the NFL. Mostly because I am a Vikings fan, and that franchise is now an embarrassment, and will probably be moving in a couple years anyway. In fact, if there is a lockout, 2010 could very well be the last season for the Vikings in Minnesota. What will get me through?
