	The Seattle Times: Sports: It's a different game in the CFL
		In the 1990s, the CFL's American experiment failed miserably and the league was in such dire financial straits that it had to borrow $3 million from the NFL to continue operating.
		The CFL had tried, but failed, in Sacramento, Calif.; Las Vegas; Shreveport, La.; Baltimore; San Antonio; Birmingham, Ala.; and Memphis, Tenn. But the league kept its Canadian base intact and counted on its regional rivalries, such as Winnipeg vs. Saskatchewan, Calgary vs. Edmonton in the annual battles of Alberta, and Toronto vs. Hamilton.
		By 1997, the loan from the NFL was repaid and a new relationship had developed between the two leagues.
