Calgary, Ottawa face off for CFL championship

Previewing the CFL playoffs

MONTREAL - I'm not sure just when I decided that my first in-person professional football game experience was going to be a CFL matchup.

That's right the 2013 CFL season is upon us.

Sure, it isn't quite the same game. The rules are different and the field is bigger. However, there's no disputing that the Canadian game is eminently watchable, with a charm all its own.

The NFL is the biggest business in American sports, and the Super Bowl is its culmination.

But what if I told you that there was another professional football championship being contested here in November? A championship that has been around for over twice as long as the Super Bowl?
