stuckincincy Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Do any CFL watchers here have some thoughts on former Eskimos LB Rashad Jeanty? He's been in the B'gals camp and is making a bit of a splash at SLB and on special teams. Thanks!

stuckincincy Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 that is an oxymoron 740779[/snapback] Why do you say that?
meazza Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 Why do you say that? 740844[/snapback] because CFL players aren't professionals sorry I just can't stand the CFL.
stuckincincy Posted August 11, 2006 Author Posted August 11, 2006 because CFL players aren't professionals sorry I just can't stand the CFL. 740937[/snapback] But why? Are they like professional soccer players?
The Dean Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 My recollection is this: When he played for the Roughriders he was a demon...made all the plays, but when he played for the Rough Riders, not so much. His short stint with the Rough-riders, didn't go well, but he made a minor comeback with the RoughRiders. Dunno much about his time with the Eskimos...Sorry
LabattBlue Posted August 11, 2006 Posted August 11, 2006 The only thing I know about the CFL is that this former St. Joe's grad is making quite the name for himself... http://www.cfl.ca/index.php?module=roster&...play&ros_id=408

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 When 1/4 of your league is named the RoughRiders, you don't deserve to be called a professional 741095[/snapback] Depends on the profession, really...
Dante Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 because CFL players aren't professionals sorry I just can't stand the CFL. 740937[/snapback] But then again, what would us Bills fans know about professional football? Not like we ever see it. Maybe cheering for the Eskimos is a viable alternative.

Them and Sask (sorry, who knows how to spell that province above Montana and North Dakota... ) I think were the same name? Aren't they (Ottawa) the Renegades now... And anyway... If they actually played 4 downs, put the endzones back to 10 yards , narrowed the field... And erase the crazy 55 yard line... Maybe, just maybe they could play the game the way it was intended...

They hope to have a new owner and team in 2007. So, now the CFL has eight teams. And only one Roughriders. Mike
