Redlands, CA Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I've been reading about the CFL lately and I noticed a news article. Backup QB of Edmonton got traded to Hamilton before they play in Grey Cup. A lot of Canadians are very upset with the CFL and calling it a joke league on tsn.cahttp://tsn.ca/cfl/news_story.asp?id=144496 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 He was traded during the season, before the trade deadline. They haven't announced it yet. He was the "future considerations" in the trade. Lots of leagues have trades that include clauses like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlands, CA Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 I thought they made the trade this week and Maas was traded to Hamilton and Edmonton. I thought it was strange that he got traded and he might go in tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru, the Canadians weren't saying "Joke of a league", they were saying "Joke of a trade" as in why this late in the season, read very carefully about what you see, eyes are deceiving. Plus the ones that are saying that the CFL is a joke is probably americans or they are not CFL fans...So saying that Canadians are saying that the CFL is a joke is a bit deceiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlands, CA Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 No. 23 Author: dbroox The CFL is a joke. What else can be said? First off, Maas > Ray. Now the info is out that Maas will be dealt just days prior to the Grey Cup. Terrible league. No. 62 Author: dommer69 Shady deals like this is why the CFL is a 2nd tier sports league. Edmonton got to strengthen their team for the playoffs in key positions while retaining the best player in the deal (Mass) for the remainder of the season. How could league officials turn a blind eye to that?? No. 6 Author: rj34 Does this surprise anyone? This is just an under the table trade to make up for Hamilton GIVING away Comisky and Davis earlier this year. I am getting truly sick and tired of the dirty and cheating tactics of the cfl. What is next, it saddens me to see what this league has become, a JOKE!!!! lilg, read very carefully about what you see, eyes are deceiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlands, CA Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm sure there was more, I just looked for 3 that I saw first to prove a point. So people don't think the CFL can be taken serious after this trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm sure there was more, I just looked for 3 that I saw first to prove a point. So people don't think the CFL can be taken serious after this trade and if 3 people out of 63 said that the NFL is a joke, you'd think the United States was against the NFL as well? Point is a minority said the CFL is a joke, and those are probably the ones who do not like the CFL, shady yes, but you basically said the Canadians don't care about the CFL after one trade. Now if I asked %99 of the people here if they rooted for the CFL(which is about half Canadien) i'm sure they would say you're full of it and say they would root for the CFL no matter what kind of trade went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlands, CA Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 I never said that canadians don't care about the CFL. What do other canadians think about this trade?

DEAD! Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I never said that canadians don't care about the CFL. What do other canadians think about this trade? So why isn't THAT the topic title? The responses don't necessarily reflect the populus' opinion. The CFL despite it's growing popularity does still have their own issues, but then again every league does. If many you think those responses are out of control check the wrestling section.... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC97 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this just a rumour of a trade that might be coming up AFTER the grey cup involving the backup QB for a team competing in the game?And if so, what's the big deal? --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i'd say it's hearsay until after the Grey Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Future considerations are part of many trades.Future considerations are revealed after the trade--as they are future.Maas going to Hamilton would be no surprise.Chris pointed out in general what the article says-Read itA league source requesting anonymity said Friday night that Maas will indeed be dealt to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats following the CFL's title game for veteran quarterback Danny McManus and offensive lineman Tim Bakker, both former Eskimos.MOJO Radio in Vancouver was also reporting the trade.An Eskimos club official declined comment.Maas's arrival in Hamilton won't come as a surprise. Speculation had Maas headed to Steeltown when the Ticats dealt running back Troy Davis and offensive lineman Dan Comiskey to Edmonton on Oct. 5 for receiver Brock Ralph, defensive back Tad Cody and a 2006 first-round draft pick.It wasn't as if they just cooked this trade up yesterday or today.It was done before the trade deadline--which needs to be earlier in the season, but that's another debate.At the time the trade was made people were astounded the Ticats would trade Davis so cheaply-which led to speculation of Maas being the future considerations.At the time the trade was made the Ticats were not going to make the playoffs, and the Eskimos wanted insurance in case Ray was hurt. What's the problem with that? Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
