Let's play some football, Johnny.

Might be worth a visit for you northern Ags

$200 - no thanks ($119 for a generic jersey and $80 to customize it)

Anyone know where you can buy them cheaper?

Those are ugly af.

You even have to 'personalize' your own

Yeah no thanks

Three thoughts:

1) The jerseys are just plain ugly. Many Texas high schools have better looking jerseys. I guess if you are coming from Cleveland, though, they may be a step up.
2) A long season (21 weeks!) through the summer and fall. I'll watch, just to see if Johnny still has the "it factor".
3) Which network carries the CFL? (Or is there a CFL Network?

ESPN will show some CFL. They may pickup more games with Johnny playing now.

I worked in Canada for a few years. CFL is actually entertaining.

1 game in August and 1 in October? What a weird schedule.

It's happening

The last time JFF was playing great football, he was wearing an Adidas football jersey.

He's not that big of a draw.

Oh shut up

This time Papi is right.

Why do people like you keep saying this when it's clearly not true?

So Johnny playing in Canada is such a big deal that ESPN will show more games because of it? Sorry, I just don't think so. I hope he does well but he's not that big of a deal to televised football.

Love the "those are ugly" comments. Y'all don't understand the novelty of owning a Spring League or CFL Manziel Jersey. They'll be all over frat parties across the country. It has nothing to do with the beauty of the uniform itself. In fact, the uglier, the better. It makes it stand out.

Mets Tebow is the same way, just to give one of many possible examples.

Agreed

Wow, that was fast.

For a nation of quasi socialists they seemed to figure out the finer points of supply and demand tout de suite.

Dumb.

The bad socialism is a 100% planned economy which abolishes the private business sector. Nobody in the modern 1st world espouses that. The countries your type would call Socialist too are countries like Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Finland, and maybe even Germany - who provides free college, affordable national healthcare, and is also the highest populated country in Europe.. All countries who outperform America in just about everything. Canada is still relatively conservative compared to the advanced progressive countries but they do have national healthcare even among conservatives (like the rest of the world's right-wingers) instead of private industry exploiting their citizens. Those other countries outperform America in basically everything - including Business Environement, citizen happiness, standard of living, education, healthcare costs PER CAPITA, etc. And if you get a job on those counties, you can live without being on welfare. Canada is only one with the balls to legalize weed though!

I was hanging out with a couple of Canadians a few weeks ago, and they brought up Johnny out if the blue. Said they were watching and waiting in hopes Johnny would sign a CFL contract, and would make it a point to watch his games.

Not sure if CFL will get any more air time in the US or not. But I was very surprised that they even knew about Johnny, let alone hoping for him to come to Canada to play. He's definitely a draw up there.

I hope they have the t-shirt version. I'd buy that.

Is he even starting yet?

Is there a shirsey option?

1) Then move there.
2) How many of those countries have 30 million illegal immigrants to care for?

What province do you call home?

I don't think you understand how things actually work, especially with things like the myth of "free" or "affordable".

It amazes me that people actually buy into this garbage, and willfully omit certain things. For example - let's just look at the income tax as a % of income for these super awesome countries that you love so much but somehow don't have the backbone to actually move to:

Sweden - 61.85%
Finland - 51.60%
Denmark - 55.80%
Finland (you listed it twice, so I did too) - 51.60%
Germany - a paltry 47.50%

Tell me again how "free" and "affordable" are really in the picture? How many folks go to Germany or Finland or Denmark or Canada for healthcare, btw? None of those are recognized as world leaders in health care (please, please, please don't go post the WHO list - because it's garbage and everybody knows it).

But hey, nothing like a good stupid rant to make you feel good huh?

Just wait till they actually have to defend themselves again and see if maybe you left something off your list.

$200 for a secondary league jersey..? WTF

It's only because he's not one of the drop down options yet and you have to personalize it. Apparently they're sold in the stores up there for much cheaper.
