...take over as offensive coach of the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger Cats. The Canadian game etched itself in Restic's football mind. A peculiar, high-scoring hybrid, the CFL employs a set of rules distinct from either the pro or college game.

The loyalists sometimes reflect their affection in typically eccentric Kink fashion. A group of Cleveland fanatics bought a block of tickets, then, as Davies suggests, deliberately missed the show just to keep the band humble...
