Would you consider this quote respectful?

Hey Guys:

For those who are interested in the history of games between the NFL and the CFL the games and scores can be seen here:

I suck.

By the way:

I see no evidence of these teams being from College level; nor do I see scores anywhere near 69 - 3. When I get the interview done with Warren Moon I will forward as well. In this interview Moon was asked if he thought his Edmonton Eskimos team from the 1980s would domiante in the NFL at that time. While Moon did not even intimate that the CFL team would dominate he did say that they would have been competitive. Now, who are we supposed to believe: those guys in this room who have probably not seen one CFL game or a man who was a superstar in both leagues?

Sorry, I HAVE seen the CFL game and it just isn't the same. I'll go with Canuck's analysis. If Moon thinks his 80's Eskimos could have been competitive fine. But Houston is competitive - they just lose a lot.

For those who are interested. Here is Moon's interview that I talked about earlier. http://slam.canoe.ca/SuperBowlXXXV/chat_warrenmoon.html I put much more value on Moon's perspective than I do on any one's perspective (including my own) in this room - so should all of you. Without an objective, and experential perspective such as Moon's, many of you sound like the NFL is God's gift to football - hence there exists an appalling arrogance among many of you that is difficult to accept.

Why are we discussing the America Jr. football league? Is this normal for the offseason?

It's quotes like this one that brings out the arrogance of at least this guy. I don't care two hoots if you agree with me or not; just don't be arrogant in not even thinking that it could happen. That's all I am saying. It is my last post on a site that I thought wanted to speak about football.

You're too thin skinned man. If you're going to get all sensitive over this you won't last on this site, or any site for that matter.

As for CFL vs. NFL, I'm a fan of both leagues. But with all the different rules I don't know how to effectively evaluate a competition between the two. For example, the CFL is very dependent on the pass, and setting up the run with the pass. Could they do that as effectively if they played with a narrower NFL field? Could a power running team in the NFL adapt to the 3-down system the CFL uses? Would Antonio Brown know what to do without the fair catch option, which isn't allowed in the CFL?

Either way, grow some balls dude. Canadian or otherwise

Listen:
Thinking it couldn't happen isn't arrogant. Thinking it could IS. You are talking about a league consisting of, let's be generous here, 95% of players whom could not even scratch the rosters of the worst teams in the league. That is simply a fact. You know how I know that this seemingly subjective statement is indeed an objective viewpoint based in fact? Because the NFL is about winning and if there were some stash of players somewhere that could be looted to increase a team's chances of winning no NFL team would ignore that. There would be copious amounts of players coming from the CFL. It would be a known occurence. So while you have one, admittedly, great former player we have literally thousands of talent evaluators, scouts, GMs, coaches and so forth that clearly think that there is very little to be had in the CFL. Warren Moon last played in the CFL 20 years ago. He last played in the NFL almost 10 years ago. He has had nothing to do with either as far as I know since. His opinion about whether the CFL could compete TODAY is absolutely irrelevant. You didn't ask us about 20 years ago. You asked about TODAY. Thinking that a collection of never wases could rally togerther and compete with even a single NFL team has no sense. All the important evidence proves so.

I actually thought it was pretty funny.

So, don't even start with this respect crap.

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.

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.
