So it is only cause Davis and Gable collided and knocked him out that Wynn decided to spear with his helmet long after he was on the ground.
****ing idiots these days

Shows the knowledge of most sports "fans" in this city.
9,000 people to specifically watch Manziel? Ya, once again, no chance. I think you seriously over estimate the public's interest in washed up/never was ex-NFL players.I think it would be more than a few hundred. People like seeing stars which is a bit of an issue with the CFL in general.
Attendance was a little over 31,000 for the Hamilton game. What would it have been if Manziel had started? 40,000?
It appears the Eskimos are serious about controlling TO's rights. Might as well get something of value, if he doesn't actually play for the team.
I think the offence would be better if we had a true offensive coordinator instead of Maas trying to do too many things. If it was someone else we might not have kicked that ill-fated FG in the western final. Maybe Ray next season.
If T.O actually played for the eskimos, I’d actually go to a game and I’d buy his jersey. I’m not gonna go into my anti CFL rant but this league needs something to bring in fans. It’s sad but a 44 year old T.O would do that briefly, more than a few people that I’ve talked to said they would go watch him play that normally don’t watch games, and not to watch him fail.
Yes but as I’ve mentioned that call wasn’t his alone.Wasn't Carson Welch our OC last year when Maas decided to kick that ill fated FG?
Was going to edit after reading more posts, as I see Kyle already outed you and you responded.Yes but as I’ve mentioned that call wasn’t his alone.
Outed me for what?Was going to edit, but after reading further, I see Kyle already outed you.
I believe your point was that Maas needs to hire another OC to take the workload off so that it might help him make better decisions. He had an excellent OC and receivers coach who I would assume took a large load off of his back, but he still made the dumb decision in the western final. At the end of the day, Maas is the one who needs to and did make that fateful call, and there really are no excuses.
Go and see him, sure, I could see some people doing that. Forking out a hundred bucks and buying his jersey? And one 44 year old man who hasn't played a down in years is going to make you want to see a game in a league you despise?
Is the NFL really such a superior product? I admit that I would like to change some things in the CFL but here are some of my observations about the "big league."
- Fair catch? Sissy stuff- why not see a run back?
-The sluggish, commercial filled games that seem to be devoid of entertainment. Games seem to be marathons.
-Big comebacks happen but they are rare. The wild finishes in the CFL are entertaining.
-The rouge means you can kick it out to avoid the point.
-They line up helmet to helmet with no neutral ground in the NFL.
The NFL has actually evolved into a passing game, like the CFL.
Until Bradshaw and Staubach starting duking it out in the air, it was basically just a running game- the odd pass here and there. I do like the running game but for so many years the NFL was 3 yards in a cloud of dust.
As for Owens, he will not make any difference in the CFL.
I like the CFL game better.
If the CFL went all almost all imports it would die.
But what would happen with regards to fan reaction that would make it die? What would be so different?
Nothing would change, people would suddenly notice how much better their teams would be, it would also push Canadian football players to reach a higher level. The star players in the league are all American anyways, Andrew Harris aside.
The argument of Canadians getting jobs over Americans is laughable, most of these guys are working another job in the offseason to prepare for life after the CFL since they make a very modest wage, this league is more about a passion of the game than money. If a Canadian didn’t have a roster spot he would be working his normal job making near the same as they would’ve playing football.
Given a choice between taking jobs from Canadians and Americans, the choice is clear. I know the players aren’t as good and I don’t care.
I mean I guess, part of the future is having people, kids, think they can actual make the league. If you make that an impossibility, they won't care. Also, the league's survival is going to come down to a lot more then that.The state of the game is to the point where the need to worry more about it's survival than protecting a few jobs for Canadians.
