  1. Terry Metcalf - Toronto Argonauts:

    Nothing wrong with that--that's how I remember him.

    When was he with the Argos? Was it a situation where money lured him, or something that he did as his career winded down to keep playing?

    Yes it was money. He left St. Louis at the peak of his career. You can learn more here.

    It's a pretty cool site if your interested in the CFL eh!

    It's a cool site, and that salary was part of the beginning of some CFL teams foolishly thinking they could compete with the money pouring into the NFL. It wasn't as a big a deal then as it has since become (The NFL's money making), but there was still a big difference. In the 60's & before the NFL wasn't there yet & the CFL could compete--but in the 70's some teams got foolish--and nearly derailed the CFL in the process.
