Re: CFL Versus NFL Game
 

The only good thing about America Jr. is that they have a lot of oil that we can use over the next century.

CFL vs. NFL??? I would say that the XFL all-stars would wax the CFL players. They have nothing on He-hate-me! Is Jeff Garcia French? That would explain a lot...

Re: CFL Versus NFL Game
 

armchair's only proof of his opinion is a single player's subjective opinion (not based on facts). Moon has never (to my knowledge) held a GM or scout title for any NFL organization and the disparity in salaries between the leagues has grown exponentially since moon was in the CFL.

You're not looking for a debate, you're looking for either blind obedience or someone to tell you how smart you are. If you're incapable of having anyone challenge you're opinions then i'm sorry, but the internet just isn't for you.

Here's a fact for the debate, we just signed a RB from the CFL (6th pick overall and unquestioned #1 i heard), and he came to the skins where he's #5 or 6 on the depth chart and will have to be beyond lucky to even make the roster (much less every get a carry in a meaningful NFL game).

The money involved is so vastly disproportionate that almost NO ONE would ever stay in the CFL if they had the option to make 4x-100x as much per year in the NFL.

Re: CFL Versus NFL Game
 

it would be great to kill some canadians

anyway, we would wine cause we don't need to punt on third down

oh, and we're much better too.

Re: CFL Versus NFL Game
 

Oh, one more thing fellas. After watching that "YAWNER" that is called the Superbowl, I now agree that an NFL team would beat an all-star team from the CFL. No doubt, they would bore the CFL to death - (7 - 3) after the half - give me a break. With all their so-called superior talent you think they would put up numbers that didn't mirror a soccer score. WOW, you guys can keep it; I will continue to follow the much more exciting CFL.

personally,i would love to see the canadian league become a rivalry with the nfl like the old afl was!since the CFL has a few different regulations they would have to be worked out for the"Super Bowl."or whatever it wo be called.

blah blah blah, stay angry, keep hating.

The defenses on both teams were very good. Maybe they don't play defense in canada? either way, it wasn't a very good super bowl unlike the previous two years.

btw, if you want basketball scores, the AFL has a lot more points than the CFL... or women's semi-pro where you have a lot of 100-0 type games as well ;)

I can assure you sir that my post has nothing to do with hating; it has to do with my observation about the game itself. I assumed that this is what this forum is for. If you want to see borderline hate, look at some of the previous posts made by others. I have tried to keep my conversation somewhat football oriented. Many others have taken the opportunity to go on the attack which is not surprising based on what I know of Americans. If you don't realize it already, the vast majority of Americans that I have talked with don't believe that anything of value exists outside of their own border. Many of the posters in this forum have just confirmed that.

you realize you started insulting people first and you continue to lash out while telling people your the victim right? All while making brash generalizations and nation-baiting :P

drop the arrogance. You stopped the debate a million posts ago and haven't answered any of the points i made or brought up any new facts. Instead its just space wasted with pointless insults.

How many NFL players have jumped to the CFL when both leagues would give them contracts? How many in the last 15 years? I'd guess the answer would be zero. How many have bolted canada to join the NFL though? Of those offered contracts i'd make a very conservative guess of 80%. If one league can suck talent out of every other league in the world at such a high rate, what makes you think they could compete besides the words of one ex-qb who didn't want to insult his CFL teammates and has never held a scout or general manager's post?

If you don't want to debate facts, you're just trolling. But everything you're claiming about othersyou've been guilty of too, and you've generally been the first to start it as well ;)

I think you need to name names if you are going to generalize. All you're doing is angering a entire forum when you simply say "others". Who are you talking about? What was said that led you to believe anyone "hated" the CFL? I would venture a guess that most here simply have little respect for it. Not hate. In fact I am damn sure that just about every comment here has been about our ability to respect the CFL. Why don't we stick to things that can be supported with honest arguments instead of going flamestyle when you encounter a vast group who simply disagrees with you? Open you eyes man you are the one perpetuating this entire thing.

If you have visited this site for any real length of time, you should know we disagree here all the time on a wide range of subjects.

And the tone can come across, well, harsh. I think you should calm down a little, breathe in and out, and have some fun.

Re: CFL Versus NFL Game
 

I have a great deal of respect for Canada (greatest city I've ever been to...Vancouver), Canadians (heck I'm marrying one), and the CFL (before there was Mike Vick, there was Damon Allen)

That being said, people are entitled to other opinions here. And for someone to come along and get all upset when another poster offers a different point of view...well that's just not very productive.

This back and forth is pointless. Armchair jock, I think you see now that this site has a wide range of opinions on various topics. If you want to talk about other football (or non-football) related topics there are plenty of other threads to check out. If all you want is to claim your a victim of xenophobia then that's your business, but don't do it on our time. I'm sure you know plenty about football, not just the CFL, it would be a shame if you wasted your time on TheWarpath.net bitching and moaning about a handful of posts that don't agree with you.

Hey DA. Read. I said we DIDN'T, as in DID NOT, respect. So all of your examples only reinforced what I said. We have no respect for the CFL because it has not given us anything to respect in the way of comparing it's competiveness with the NFL. My point was that we didn't hate the CFL but had no respect for it. Give me one reason to respect it as far as being competitve with the NFL. Just one.

no, and absolutely not. You encountered people that disagreed with you and totally tanked the debate in favor of crying about how no one agrees with you.

You still haven't offered any counter examples to my points and just wasted about 20 more posts saying NOTHING of value.

who in the CFL is a legit NFL starter right now?

I'm trying to get this back on track, but there's obviously no interest from you anymore, so i gues we should go ahead and let this thing die.

If you think someone with a differing opinion is the same thing as being attacked then you REALLY shouldn't bother ever starting any kind of debate with anyone ever again though.

What's baseball?

Cl;a
 

It is the World Classic Baseball Tournament that includes teams from USA, Canada, Korea, Panama, Japan, South Africa etc. Players that play for the Major Leagues are representing the USA while Canada has some players playing for them who are Major Leaguers and many who play triple A etc. Of course, many of the people think that the CFL is like a triple A (farm team) compared to the NFL. Maybe some of you guys with the big yaps will think twice about making those comparsions after this baseball classic that USA announcers are expressing major disappointment at the loss because in their words - "no team was supposed to even come close to the USA team; let alone beat them" Hey, they sound like many of you people in this room. Take that boys.

Umm actually I am pretty sure that the USA was only slightly favored to win. Both the Dominican Republic and Venezuela have quality pitching staffs that an even out any offensive disparity. And being a guy brought up on baseball I can atest that a baseball game is much easier to win when you are outclassed skill wise than a football game is. Your point has no merit.

How did the NFL vs. America Jr. thread get started again?

Like I said originally. Take any team from the College top 25 and they would dominate the teams in the America Jr. Football league.

Umm I am pretty sure you are wrong. According to the ESPN announcers the USA were "heavily favored" and that the loss to Canada is a "major upset" By the way, only Americans would think that them losing at anything constitutes a "major upset"
