Welcome! I see this is your first post, I hope you enjoy the site that Matt so generously maintains. Now, Im really not trying to disrespect the thread, but here is my reply:

HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOO! There is a reason that guys play in the CFL, its because their skills are not ready for the NFL. Any game like the one described above would be a blow out. And please don't go into the fact that several players from the CFL have later gone into the NFL, that is the exception. Yes, the CFL has given us Warren Moon and Doug Flutie, but the lineman and linebackers in the NFL would run over and through any CFL team of allstars. That's just my opinion.

I have to agree with you here. I view that about the same way as I do when people claim that college teams could beat NFL teams. I think that might be more likely than a CFL team beating an NFL team. Especially if it was a team of NFL all stars. I think that a CFL all star team would have a shot against, say....the Texans, but definitely not an NFL team.

Just one person, you might have forgot: Joe Horn came from the CFL
