"American teams' expansion fees saved some of the Canadian-based teams and pulled others back from the abyss. They bought the league some time. Most importantly, those three years helped restore the CFL's soul." - Ed Willes, End Zones & Border Wars

THIS IS OUR GAME. #CFL

(except for that weird stretch from '93–'95 when it was also Baltimore’s game, and maybe also the game of Vegas' parking lot sod guy, but we proved it was our game in '94, while ignoring the 83rd Grey Cup, and yes, the curator of this account lives in Chicago which is odd)

I'm in Sydney for a few weeks helping to run a conference my company is hosting—and hoping the #CFL hat will spare me from repeatedly apologizing that I’m American. 😜

During the October 1994 broadcast of what turned out to be the final home game of the #LasVegasPosse, TSN’s graphics department had a little fun putting together this image. I’m sure the @bclions.com didn’t appreciate being grouped with these teams. #CFL #CFLUSA
