Proof Again Why The CFL Is A Joke!!!

Here we go again. It's that time of year (I know, I still HATE that line!) in your precious CFL season, where all the big headed so called CFL stars are sent home, compliments of the NFL, and then realize "Wait a minute, I guess I am not as good as I thought! That doesn't make sense though, because I was SOOOOO good in the CFL! What is going on here??!!"

So I have decided to, yet again, remind all of you guys why the CFL is NOT a premier football league. Not only is the NFL leaps and bounds ahead of the home of the Rouge, but NCAA College football is miles ahead as well. What, don't believe me? Then you obviously didn't catch that Michigan/Notre Dame game last Saturday (My Wolverines, led by Shoeless Denard Robinson squeaked by Silkatron's shitty Fightin Irish in what will probably be one of the best games of the year, sorry again Doobie, but get a better team man!).

Denard says "No thanks CFL, I think I'll pass thank you!"

Even the Canadian Sports Leader, and the sole broadcaster for the CFL, TSN is guilty of, be it unbeknownst to them, sort of admitting the same thing just this week. Instead of doing their own survey on the handful of Qb's in the CFL under the age of 31, what do they do? They use a survey done by the big boys, that's right, the NFL, a couple of years ago, to spark debate about the next big QB's in the Canadian League.

Don't believe me? Click retired TSN analyst Maggie The Monkey for the article.

I am ready for all the hateful comments, and believe me when I say, I have heard them all!. From "F*ck you, you stupid f*cking yankee!! Why don't you go back to the States where you belong, f*cking turncoat prick!"...... to this gem "Gary, I think your opinion on the CFL is terribly wrong. I worry you are not properly informed on the league, and therefor your opinion carries no weight. You obviously are not Canadian, and I think the sooner you leave OUR country, the better!" Seriously, and everything in between, let me explain.

One CFL Fan reacts after reading this blog.

I spent five years producing the Drew Remenda Sports Show, and you supposed hardcore fans are the reason that I have changed my allegiance. Before the show went on the air, I was a HUGE Rider/CFL fan, but then, every night, I had to take calls on why the Riders would sign a fourth string quarterback, and a third string left tackle, as well as a back up long snapper, and I would have to listen while Rider fans would pat themselves on the back because they sat in the rain for a couple of minutes while the lights went out! All of this, in one show, during the NHL Trade Deadline!!!! Are we not a Hockey Nation too??

You fans are so quick to turn on anyone and everyone around here the second things go bad, and even when things are going good, you still find things to complain about! Also, you continue to drive star players out of this province. I can just hear the people now, the day Darian Durant pulls a Henry Burris and gets the hell out of dodge, you will all say "Oh! I can't believe he took the money!! After all we did for him!!! Well to hell with him then!!!" and then, my favorite Rider fan line of all time, once someone leaves "Whatever, he sucked balls anyways! We don't need him!!"

Smiling Hank, between jobs after he realized that he couldn't cut it in the NFL!

I am not a negative person, and this is not a hateful blog, I am sure you are probably a bit pissed at me, but hear me out here, before you all start the personal attacks. Here is a list of CFL players that left for the NFL this year, and are now trying to make their way back with their tales between their legs:

- Former BC Lion, and Canadian Defensive Player of The Year Ricky Foley said suck it CFL, and thought he would stick with the Seahawks, then the Jets, then pulled the proverbial "Just joking, the CFL is where I want to be!" Then he stiffs the team that gave him his shot, to join the freaking Argos...... C'Mon Man!!!

"I can't believe I still don't look super hardcore after all these tattoos!!" Says Ricky after returning home from the NFL.

- Another former BC Lion, Ryan Grice-Mullen couldn't cut it in Miami, now he's one of you after signing with the Riders. I actually like this guy a lot. I followed that great University of Hawaii team back in 2007 with NCAA Record setting QB Colt Brennan, tossing to Grice-Mullen, current Miami Dolphins stand out Davone Bess and Jason Rivers. This dude is a stud, enjoy him Rider fans.

A handsome man, I am very excited to get to see more of him now that he's with the Riders. Please do not chase him out of town.

-Sticking with the Rider theme, how about linebacker Renaud Williams? Big time impact player for the Green and White, not worth keeping for the Yellow and Black in the big leagues. Released by the Steelers.

- "But Gary, what about your boy Stevie Baggs?" I love him, and I wish he would have stuck with my Cards, but nope. Word on the street is he has signed with the Ticats, welcome back Stevie!

- Larry Taylor played with Montreal last year, then tried out with the Jets, and now he is a free agent, aka playing as much football as me, all because he would rather play in the NFL!!

Then you got a bunch of guys who would rather play on a practice roster, than star in your precious league (Super Spooky Bad Guy Laugh HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! I could get use to this bad guy thing!!)



Gary laughing while in his lab, concocting this blog!

 - John Chick, former Rider would rather practice with the Colts, than play for your boys

- Martell Mallett is doing the same with the Eagles, instead of staring with the Lions

- Ticats 8th overall pick in 2008, Sam Giguere decided to practice with the Colts, instead of PLAY with the Ticats, and in the process was cut, and resigned at least 6 times!! Sounds like a fun life to me.

Well, there it is, the truth has been told yet again. Let the hatemail fly, but please, do not make fun of my stunning good looks, those did nothing to you, just stick to hating my words.

How about this, as a peace offering, I give you the Season Two trailer for Eastbound And Down!



Click here for the trailer!


Not enough, alright, how about this from the boys at Deadspin? A new Double Rainbow Guy!!! Only he's more like a single tornado in Brooklyn guy.



"Wowsers!" said Inspector Gadget as he shit his pants right before he got sucked up into this dirty tornado! 

 Still not enough eh? Still mad at me? Alright the only other thing I can give you is another place to post your angry comments, and that would be at the blog party! Just click this beautiful mug.

Now this is one mug I could chug!

I felt so bad for Scott Anderson and his picks, that this week, I am posting them on prime time, enjoy these everyone:

Alright, last week was my Sexy Underdog Picks of the week, I did not to shabby 2-1 or 1-1-1 (in Gary's eyes). So this week, I'm going with Scott's Sexy On the Go, Blackberry Road Picks of the week.

They go as follows: my three road teams are the Texans over the Redskins, Patriots over The Jets and Saints to beat The 49ers. "To be the man, you've got to beat the man. Woooo!" -- Ric Flair (from now on after every week above .500, my anonymous #1 fan will get a famous wrestling quote), cause last week i was chirped about dropping cheesy wrestling quotes and it wasn't even a wrestling quote, so ill give ya one if ya really want it) Until next week....lick these !!

Gary's Reaction: I really hope he goes .500, because I know that without the Internet, there is no way Scott can recite more than two wrestling quotes.

See all of you next week!
