					<description><![CDATA[Everyone in North America knows the CFL sucks. If  I bless the CFL is playing there I will earn my status as the greatest player ever to play in the CFL. However it is no slouch league.

The above is a translation of Manziel’s ridiculous, disorganized interview with Naylor.]]></description>

Your right.....I would much rather see another story on which Canadian OL are going to be drafted and maybe work they way into the starting lineup over the next three years?
Or those crazy hockey uniforms as football jersey mashups?
It&#039;s the off season.....we are all hard up.....and at least Drew and the Crew are trying to give us something to chew on until we get down to biz for real...
While it is never as satisfying as actual football.....I do appreciate the effort 3DN.....staff and posters!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Say what you will, trust me I’m no super fan of Manziel either but the bottom line is that his situation has brought more free publicity to the CFL than it has seen in a long time. Also, like it or hate it, he would bring a level of interest to the league that will put bums in seats to see him for both like and hate reasons. His presence in the CFL will be felt and I for one am following this as it unfolds, not as a Manziel fan but as a passionate and dedicated CFL fan. It will be an interesting season if he’s playing and the fans will come. In a gate driven league that’s important.]]></description>

See, this is why Chris Jones is as good as he is, and why you aren&#039;t, and it&#039;s undoubtedly also why you&#039;re so obsessed with him, and why you think about him everyday, and post about him everyday, and why he owns your life.  Manziel is absolutely a prospect.  He hasn&#039;t played a down in the CFL and he didn&#039;t do very well in his time in the NFL either.  We don&#039;t know what course his career will take from here, and Jones has a well known reputation for being a hard worker and leaving no stone unturned.  The Riders have two great QBs right now but they&#039;re both on one year contracts.  My guess that whoever loses the competition to be the starter won&#039;t re-sign with the Riders, and will probably move on to compete for the #1 job in Montreal or Calgary.  We&#039;re also hearing that Manziel is still focusing on the NFL, which is understandable, but what that means is that he may wait until the NFL training camps roll around before making a decision to go to the CFL, and that would mean that he would miss the CFL training camps and the beginning of the season, which would mean that he probably wouldn&#039;t be ready to compete for a starting position until next year.  None of this is guaranteed, of course, but it&#039;s a very plausible sequence of events, and Jones is probably the hardest working GM in the league and he prepares for many different scenarios.  He leaves no stone unturned, and that&#039;s why he&#039;s so successful, and why you are completely obsessed with him and can&#039;t get him out of your head.  He OWNS you.]]></description>

Yes thats true=also true is; the situation in October was, Johnny might come here---6 months later the story is Johnny might come here...in the meantime, we have had to endure 74 stories about him (this week!!) lol

Given my choice, I would rather have manziel than masoli quarterbacking my team...at least we would stand a chance at the cup...with that said, I want to hear stories about players that are actually signed and are actually playing here]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jesus, why does everyone get so defensive when an American player, who has likely never been to Canada not praise the CFL as a great and legitimate pro football league. Manziel is no different than probably 99% of other American players who are forced to come here because their pro aspirations have dried up south of the border. Do you honestly think Flutie thought differently before he came up here? Of course he didn&#039;t. It would be similar to an out of work NHL player being asked to comment about the possibility of them playing in the KHL. They don&#039;t know what they don&#039;t know. Of course Manziel wants to play in the NFL, he is American and he knows and understands the game so we shouldn&#039;t get offended if he makes an uneducated comment now and again. If he comes here and does well, it will only benefit the players and the league and provide more Americans to become educated about the great game that we have here in Canada]]></description>
