How was it tweaked? I never heard the changes. As far a my previous post that rule has been in effect for some years now. I always thought to myself to nail the punt returner it's only a 5 yard penalty which is better than giving a 5 yard cushion to begin with.

I'm trying to find the article but I can't locate it right now. I'm sure it's somewhere on the official CFL site.

I did hear of changes just didn't bother to investigate. Too lazy!

I watch the Als from the beginning of the season up until college football starts. Then, I only follow NCAA and NFL while only looking at the Als scores. The last two years I attended the final home game but last year's was so awful I don't think I'll be going back this year. I usually watch the Grey Cup though.

"The committee felt players were routinely and deliberately invading the five-yard zone on bouncing balls believing that only a five-yard penalty applies for the infraction."

"The new rules state interference with a kick receiver, with or WITHOUT contact, should result in a 15-yard penalty."

So CFL referees (approximately 1000x worse than NFL refs, and that's saying something) are going to judge whether a player from the kicking team interferes with the returner, even when no contact is made? Good God!

How does the draft work? Are busts high rate? Is the draft even a big deal in the CFL?

I know Adam Braidwood, from my school, WSU, was the #1 pick this year.

Not really, most of the guys picked are either Canadian, guys who won't make the NFL and once in a while a team will draft someone already drafted in the NFL just to have his rights.
