Lots of NFL players had their start in the CFL, and many more than just Doug Flutie.

So we agree on something - the Canadian league is just a feeder league for the NFL. That's what I thought.
A “feeder league” would have a formal agreement with the NFL.
The CFL isn’t a minor league. It doesn’t feed into a league above it. It’s the highest league of three down football.
Being snarky doesn’t make you right.

Arkells were great. Should get airplay on A/C or top 40 radio. For some reason they only show up on rock stations and indie radio. .

I watched some of it on ESPN2 here on this side of the border (but yesterday, I was on your side of the border briefly, for the first time in 23 months!)

TSN -TV has exclusive rights for all games. I don't agree with that. TSN radio has NFL games on Sundays. Some TSN radio stations have local rights.
Even during the CFL play-offs, TSN radio carried the NFL.
An 11-station network is carrying the radio broadcast today of the Grey Cup.

looks like the CFL learned from the last game.

Not a classic game but a fun back & forth game to watch.
The CFL Grey Cups are almost always exciting .. a triple touch interception to clinch the Bomber win !

It's not a formal agreement, but in practice the better players do sometimes move up to the NFL making it a de facto feeder league. It works both ways, as players who are cut from NFL teams often find work in the CFL. As for being the highest league of three-down football, isn't it the only one?

Canadian college is also three down. Same with high school.

Yes, and there are other leagues as well.
