Also my yearly request that this be the CFL megathread instead of having 20 sad and embarrassing weekly threads with 7 posts in them, 4 being someone posting "GO GREENGOLDS" and nothing else.

If the Grey Cup winning Red Blacks win a second one as they should, I will get Trevor Harris beautiful smiling face as my Av
If someone how they don't, whoever knocks them out of the playoffs will have their QB be my Av
If they don't make the playoffs, I will get a Rough Riders Av

The ref that made the call should lose his job. I think this situation brings into question the credibility of the refs. Lately the officiating has been awful.

THE ROUGE

the team receiving the kickoff gets it and takes a knee while still in the endzone (or some other rarer situations). kicking team gets a point, receiving team gets the ball on their 35

Yeah, except the only way to get a single point is to kick a PAT after a touchdown or return a blocked PAT(this is new and hasn't happened yet as far I'm concerned) The rouge sounds awesome, as does kicking the ball out of the endzone instead of returning it but our endzones are smaller.

The Bombers are definitely going to win a game this year by scoring a rouge with a play snapped with 00:00 left on the clock, the most Canadian victory. :canada:

Ottawa has lost their last 4 games by less than 4 points and won it all last year, they would be stupid to fire the coach.

Coming into this late but I'm a rules nerd so here we are. You are correct that the rouge is awesome. The point behind it is that you're rewarding an offence for being able to get the ball into their opponents endzone, and the opponent not being able to get it out. It makes kicking plays a lot more interesting as there's always something that's going to happen (especially since some members of the kicking team can technically recover their own kick).

For reference of how interesting things can get, please watch my favorite play of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5BFaykcxGg
One field goal attempt, 2 return kicks, and a dribbled ball for a touchdown

Fun fact: if the ball hits the uprights when it's being kicked out of the endzone, it's a live ball. Never seen it happen, but I can imagine everything getting a little crazy.
