Were you serious about him making 30K?

Semi, Yes. The CFL has a 4.4 millions salary cap. Calvillo makes 1 million, average is 80k. He was hired has QB #4.

but the min salary is 45k, he probably makes that. Altho the CFL also has off season contributions since they are trying to avoid their players having dangerous off season jobs.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Looks like Troy Smith is a winner tonight.  He'll have to battle hard to win in the playoffs.  Certainly much harder than he did when he was at his podunk college.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

So, the Hamilton Tiger Cats will come to Regina to play the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the Grey Cup.  A rematch of 1989.  Excellent.

Trolls gonna troll.

You have to admit the quality of football this season was pretty poor.   The NFL is now quick to take the players that show potential and so the CFL has become the de facto farm league for the NFL.

It wasnt always this way.  But now that the economics are so one sided you have to have a pretty big blind spot caused by your fandom to ignore the result.

Actually, if you followed the league, you'd know that the CFL-NFL agreement that allowed players to leave midway through a CFL contract to try out for the NFL has expired.  Anyone who signs with a CFL club has to play out their full contract.

But don't let facts get in the way of your trolling.

That is why I used the term de facto.  It used to be both a de facto and de jure farm league for a brief time.  But now the NFL realizes it doesnt have to pay for the benefits.

Dont let facts get in the way of ignoring the what the CFL has become.

I used to be a seasons ticket holder.  And yes, now I certainly enjoy NCAA basketball and the NBA far more than the CFL along with a great many other things.
