There is a piece of me that still cheers fr the Blue Bombers because:

I am from Iowa and way back in time a quarterback by the name of Kenny Ploen (pronounced plain) went to Winnipeg and became a big star. As an under teen at the time Kenny Ploen was about as big of a star as you could imagine. And in Iowa City, you could see him around town like a normal human. Pretty heady for a little kid.

So I still cheer for the Blue Bombers.

But other than that I just don't care for American pro football very much. Love college, but can't stand the pros. But I do like the Canadian game with their rules that force a more wide open game.
