CFL never took a look from the NFL
Stop with the DuckTales

And there not the NFL bytch, players can't even leave for the NFL until the second year of their contract if there not a fa

True but also realize the NFL basically owns the CFL now. Once the CFL took a loan out years ago from the NFL they basically agreed to be the NFLs bytch.

So much so that if a player is suspended in the NFL the CFL has to get permission from the NFL to sign that player.

So if you can extrapolate that mind set you could imagine that if a player has a bad rep in the NFL or is getting black balled in the NFL. Then the same thing is possibly happening in the CFL.

Sorry homie. The CFL you watching ain't the CFL from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Years ago the CFL would bid against the NFL and actually steal free agents and even players in the draft. They even expanded into the US (baltimore) and had contract deals to broadcast their games in the US.

Them days is over. When they ran into money issues in the late 90s they actually borrowed money from the NFL.

In order to borrow the money the CFL had to come with certain agreements that the NFL had. Such as no expansion into US territory. No trying to steal and sign big name NFL players or high draft picks, no broadcast deals with major US networks (to broad cast games in the US. This has been laxed the last few years with NFL network and ESPN broadcasting games).

Finally the CFL agreed to the NFL terms that players suspended by the NFL must first get permission from the NFL to sign with a CFL team. This also didn't exist in the past.

Trust homie I been watching and following the CFL since I was a kid. That is one of the reasons as a kid I liked moon. My dad was a moon fan in college. So much so he would tape old edmonton oiler games on tv when they came on cable (when moon was there). So by the time I was born and able to watch sports my dad basically made me a moon and houston oilers fan.

So Alabama wouldn't wash some CFL teams? :stopitslime:


No, I don't think they would.

The majority of those Alabama kids won't be able to crack a CFL roster when they graduate.

That's like saying Kentucky or whoever would beat the Sixers. People like to say that, but in reality the Sixers would shyt all over Kentucky or any top college program.

People don't realize what they're watching on tv. Those dudes are much better athletes than you think.

If you ever have the chance to play or workout with an active professional athlete it can be extremely eye opening.

Watching it on tv really doesn't do it justice.
