I heard that after the Lion's lost to Chicago, they are calling for a QB change but don't want Harrington....

Damn it and they cut TC after 15 days...

Speaking of which, did you folks see the bonehead play by Kurt Warner at the closing of the game that cost Arizona a shot at the win over St. Louis.. Damn I would have love to see TC at Zona with Fitzgerald and that other big WR....

Plus the CFL has wider fields and are pass happy..
Question is how much taxes do guys have to pay if they play in Canada?
I remember NBA guys not wanting to play in Canada because of the ridiculous taxes

Regardless of where, I just want to see TC suit up so I can buy his jersey..

i just want to see him suit up as well. CFL, NFL, AFL (

)its all good.

Mouse Davis on call the coach was saying what really hurt was last season at Boise and Fresno, EVERY scout was there sizing him up. Well, we know what happened.

What happened to Chad underscores why TC has not been picked up. Inconsistant play on the road, in the big games. Every NFL game is the big game and you have to perform to your peak. TC's losses and his interceptions could have cost him.

Mouse was saying that TC's best bet might be the Arena league, pay is more than CFL depending where your at. He may still have an outside shot from there. Hope he has a good agent and is still working out, gotta be ready at a moments notice.

If you're a star player in the AFL, you can make around $100K.

If you're a star playing in the CFL(canadian), you can make $400K

i just want to see Chang play. perferably in the CFL because i get more CFL games on TV.

JJ on the call the coach show was saying there are very few making over a 100k now in the cfl. I haven't researched it so I could be wrong. Just wondering what is the best springboard to the NFL, nfl europe, cfl, arena???

I think better players came out of the CFL and Area than NFL Europle. Warren Moon, Doug Flutie, Kurt Warner. The only bonafide NFL starter that I can think of who came out of NFL Europe was John Kitna.

JJ did say only the very top players in the CFL are making 6 figures most are a lot less. He also said that backup QBs in the arena football are making $65 to 75K.
