Re: Eskimos: change your name

I think that some of those team names are offensive to one degree or another, including the Eskimos. However, politicians and citizens should be more concerned with matters that are much more relevant than forms of entertainment. Speaking of names, in the US there are streets named Montezuma (it's a...

Re: Introduce yourselves

Yes, athlete salaries are crazy. NBA and MLB players make even more on average than NFL players, Clayton Kershaw makes around 33 million a year and Lebron James makes around 31 million.

Re: Introduce yourselves

Javier, I've known players who played both NFL and CFL and they liked CFL for the game and rules and the culture of the CFL but liked the NFL money better! Welcome! I can totally see that.

Re: Argos vs. Lions

The strange irony of it all is if they beat the Argos they finish 8-10.........same record as they had in 2000. In 2000 they took 8-10 to a GC win. This year it doesn't even get them into the playoffs and a state of emergency has been declared. :wink: Exactly and during this playoff streak they hav...
