so what if cfl expanded just over the border instead the deep south like last time....say portland, columbus, and hartford?? get the divisions even with teams and hit some big markets rather than force a team into new brunswick somewhere.
TORONTO — Johnny Manziel won’t be kick-starting his pro football career in the CFL this season.
The CFL announced Wednesday it won’t approve a contract for the former Heisman Trophy winner until next season, and only if he met certain conditions stipulated by commissioner Randy Ambrosie.
Edit: Manziel in his own words (sounds like he has matured a little)
“I recently had a really positive meeting with Commissioner Ambrosie and welcomed the chance for us to get to know each other and have an in-depth talk about a possible future with the CFL. I love this game and want to be back on the field in a situation where I can help a franchise in the long term. Over the past months, my agent helped me vet all of my options for playing, figuring out where I could be most effective and get back to having the most fun with the game I love. I’m ready to play today, but we all agreed with the Commissioner that it made no sense for me to join a team with only a month left in the season – it wouldn’t have been fair to my teammates, coaches or the fan base. I want to come into a team and earn my job day one, like everyone else. I look forward to preparing myself as best I can and look forward to what the future holds.”
