Why did the Vikings pay Cousins so much money? Glad that Denver got Keenum instead.

Still nowhere near worth the money.
- manvanfan


Guys at his level, at his age don't hit free agency at QB. That's why he got paid what he did.

He might not be worth the money but it's still a good signing.

So Sutter centers the fourth and beagle is the 13th forward?

If you went to a Seahawks game would you be the 13th player?

American television influencing Canadians, cfl is a league started over 100 years ago long before the nfl. 3 down football is originality and much more exciting. Much more money and people in the states makes it more successful. I support my own game but each to his own.

Do you think we're actually in a contending window? Or will our window open after the ELCs are all gone?

Sorry but when your league has 9 teams and two were named the Roughriders I can't hand out points for originality.

For the second day in a row, the late-morning scrimmage between the Canucks’ too main practice groups was played at a high pace. Petrus Palmu, the little Finnish winger, was a true standout, creating a number of chances for Team White and scoring a goal himself. White won 3-1 as Darren Archibald, on a breakaway no less, and Nikolay Goldobin also scored.

Jake Virtanen scored the lone goal for Team Blue, a doorstep tap-in finish off a Brandon Leipsic pass on a two-on-one. Leipsic made a nifty toe-drag move after speeding in on the left wing to create space and then zinged the puck over to Virtanen, who paced himself perfectly into the crease.

Afterwards, Canucks scout Thomas Gradin had a wide smile when prompted with the name “Palmu,” laughed and said “looking verrrrry good.”

The NFL is far from a garbage league or a pool of garbage talent, it's the best North American football athletes but they happen to play four downs, big deal. It's by far the best product.

Whether you're Canadian or American or when the league started is really of no relevance when you talk product, the NFL is better on a whole.

That doesn't mean, to ME, there aren't entertaining CFL games, there are, just not as many.

A good second period sees goals from Goldobin, Archibald (on a breakaway!) and Palmu for the white squad, then Virtanen with a tap-in after a great deke by Leipsic to find space on a 2 on 1.

Palmu definitely a standout. Thomas Gradin was beaming afterwards. ‘Oh yes, looking veryyyyy good.

I really hope the CFL folds.
- CanuckDon

Don't want it to fold they just need a way to replenish the marquee talent...very low right now. Gone are the days of Flutie, Ham, Calvillo, Garcia so on and so forth. Now we have the days of Lulay, Reilly and Bo Ribeye Mitchell.

If you went to a Seahawks game would you be the 13th player?
- Nighthawk


If there was 12 field positions and I was the 13th ranked player then yes, yes I would be.
Don't you have some historical facts to make up?

Never been able to watch the CFL. I liked the days where you had 8 teams that were going 6-0 and wonder which team would lose first. Last season I think only KC made it to 5-0 and they ended up what 8-8?
- manvanfan

It goes in cycles. NFL was damn near unwatchable 10 years ago before they started with run/gun offences again. Watching 9-7pt games all year with run-run-run-punt all the time was getting out of control. It's way better now with obviously a much overall higher talent pool than the CFL. The CFL can be good again they just need to do the right adjustments.
