Many times it's about getting the opportunity and impressing the right people.
If CFL players were good enough to play in the NFL, they would.

Originally posted by uzlessYou stated that the Super Bowl was poorly played did you not. My Statement was that A CFL team would have lost that game. The game was played by NFL rules. The CFL is a different game from that of the NFL.
Uh, then what in god's name is your point?

By about, oh, 100 points. If CFL players were good enough to play in the NFL, they would.
There is no doubt the NFL players, on averge, are better talent wise than the CFL but that doesn't mean they can play the CFL game.
Regardless, I was responding to Gambit's crazy statement earlier.
We were talking about the SuperBowl and whether it was fun to watch or not....

Originally posted by uzlessDon't be ridiculous. None of those things would cause anything but minor adjustments by NFL teams. The average NFL QB could chuck a bowling ball better than the best QB in the CFL throws your "larger sized ball". And the NFL lines would toss your lines around like rag dolls.

Originally posted by uzlessYeah that intentional safety maneuver thingie would really confuse an NFL team. I'm not sure how they could possibly respond to a play so devastating!

I'm a huge fan of pitchers duels in baseball. Jack Morris will forever be my hero solely for his work in game 7 of the 1991 world series.

It was a mistake filled game. They looked like a college team..or worse, the Miami Dolphins!!
It was frickin amateur hour in the first half...dropped passes, bad throws, quarterbacks not tucking the ball away, fumbles, fumbled balls batted down field for a penalty instead of out of bounds....I think Manning had a passer rating of 55 in the first half.
...[text shortened]... ther game.
I guess I just expect more from Pro athletes in the biggest game of the season.

P.S. I'm a huge fan of pitchers duels in baseball. Jack Morris will forever be my hero solely for his work in game 7 of the 1991 world series.
World Series greatest moments: 1. Fisk's HR. 2. Mazeroski's HR, 3. Joe Carter's HR, 4. Rurh's called shot HR, 5. Kirk Gibson's HR, 6....you get the idea?
PS Jack who?

Man o man...we have huge disparities in the quality of a football game apparently.
If it wasn't the Superbowl game, and just some regular season game, i think most of you would change your mind.
The 4th quarter was good, but i still say the first 3 quarters sucked balls. A good finish does not a good game make.
