Fool us once ...

Tigercats Has this cross-border football thing gone too far?

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League today announced on their Web site that they will play two games in Ralph Wilson Stadium this season.

The Ti-Cats will play an exhibition game against the Buffalo Bills during, and one regular-season game against the Montreal Alouettes, the announcement said.

The exhibition game will feature a mix of NFL and CFL rules, the team said. The first half will be played under the CFL rulebook and the second half under NFL guidelines. There's no word on whether Doug Flutie will appear as honorary chairman.

Will this arrangement be acceptable to Bills fans? Click here before leaving a comment — or you'll regret it later.

This an important agreement if the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are going to be a staple of the greater Hamilton area and a member of the CFL moving forward.
