Day four of our trip started with a late wake up for a change- 9:30.  We ate a big breakfast and got on the road ready for the long drive to Toronto.  Just to keep things interesting, we decided to check out a Canadian Football Game in Hamilton.  The Hamilton Tiger-cats were playing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.  The CFL is nothing like the NFL; there are different rules and bigger fields.  The Tiger-cats were destroying the Bombers at the half 31-0.  At this point we figured there was no need to stay in the scorching heat for another hour and a half and got back on the road.  Below are some facts you may not know about the CFL:
1. The end zones are twenty yards rather than ten in the NFL.
2. The receivers can get a head start on the play and can line up a few yards behind the line of scrimmage and start running before the play starts.
3. If a player lines up behind the punter on a punting play, they are eligible to play the ball before the ball touches a player on the other team.
4. The field goals are in the end zones rather than behind the end zones, as in the NFL.
5.The CFL started in the 1800's way before the NFL started.
Thanks for reading and remember to come back tomorrow for the second of four Halls of Fame- The Hockey Hall of Fame!
