I honestly never had one.....my dad reffed in the league when I was a kid, so I learned to cheer for the refs. I was lonely. :-)

I LOVE waffles. I butter them first and let it soak in, then load them up with REAL Maple Syrup. I reffed the 2005 Grey Cup and Anthony Calvillo actually threw the ball TWICE in one play in Overtime. I had never seen that before in my career. The team with the most points at the end of the game will win the Cup.

The Rules Committee has considered altering the No Yards rule in the past. It came up again last year. One club proposed we use a technology halo on TV to be more consistent with it. We are always looking to innovate if it makes the game better. We are investigating the radio headset system used by the NFL for us to use next year. We often share ideas and learn from each other.

I get to do something I love for work! Many days it doesn't seem like work. My dad reffed in the CFL for 16 years. I started reffing when I was 18 to earn some money for school, and then I fell in love with it. I love our rules that are different than the NFL....I love our kicking game and all the motion we have with our receivers. Too many great stories...be more specific. Montreal - I love the smoked meat!

I always thought that was cheering. :-) Seriously, we train ourselves to shut that out as best we can. It is hard to do. One thing it doesn't do is affect the calls we make.
