Not RIGHT to compare the CFL to the NFL as far as finances are concerned. Revenues just not there in every facet – attendence, TV deals, Advertising, apparel sales etc. it goes on and on. Until those things change in a dramatic way players will be underpaid, contracts not honored, coaches and football ops people jumping ship. A lot of players will need to get off season jobs PLUS find a way to stay in shape for training camp. It will benefit them while playing and after their playing days are over in the long run of things.

Great pod cast. Yea Randy Ambrosie is one big hypocrite. 1. Telling players to have second jobs yet touting the CFL as a top rank pro league and showing Masoli working out in Cali. Second jobs mean you are Semi Pro Randman. 2. Making quick sweeping changes over the summer yet taking sweet time on Manziel evaluation (could have been done in 3 weeks) and saying no time to change NFL option tryout rule. 3. Telling players to honour contracts yet teams cutting players left and right on the drop of the hat thus NOT honouring contracts. Not to mention not paying bonus’s as per the Orridge situation which is again not honouring contracts. 4. Treating Americans like dispensable labour such as Wiler yet willing to move season up to May to accommodate a possible new USA market only NFL Network TV deal. Are Americans important or not? Which is it. Not to mention treating Manziel with different rules from other players with a similar background (ie Riders RB) and like a criminal which he is not he has no Criminal charges. All dropped. Yet Masoli gets a pass for 2 guilty pleas in Oregon 2010. Beginning to sour on this hypocritical clown.
