Louisiana State University (LSU) quarterback Jarrett Lee signed a contract to play for the British Colombia Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
As a former resident of B.C, I'm really happy that Jarrett signed with the Lions.
The CFL is a game of smaller guys, speed & bigger field, only three downs, much faster and to me a funner game. NFL is less about finesse, more about muscle and weight.
Ask Doug Flutie.
Vancouver will love him, and it's a great city to live in. Good for him.
Can't compare CFL to NFL, too different , but maybe more "purist". Watch it before you criticize.

The smartest man in Canada should force a trade to protect his blindside.

I have a lot of respect for the CFL and their fans, even though I don't watch the games much. He could make a solid living up there. IMO Canada is a very underrated country.

Doug Flutie was a very good QB in any league... just got black balled a bit early on because he went to the USFL and his height.

I agree with you. It's a fun game to watch but remember, this is the Rant. They don't like being told what to do. Maybe if you ask them to watch it before they criticize, they will.

I happy JLee is getting another shot. He was a good Tiger, in spit of the controversy that surrounded him.
There's a reason why NFL "rejects" go to the CFL and arena leagues. It isn't because they like the pace of the game or the scenery in Vancouver.
Say what you will about the "finesse" of the CFL, the caliber of athlete in the NFL versus that in the CFL isn't even a discussion.
It may be fun to watch and all that. But the fact remains, the CFL is the minors. The NFL is the Big Leagues.
