Just for fun knowing move clauses, contracts, salary caps etc if the Jets weren’t going for a full rebuild but needed more than a re-tool and a team really wanted to win now and would pay pretty good for one of our core guys to help them reach the finish line this coming post season, what player would you give up knowing you would probably get a small kings ransom in return? I’m going off the board a bit and going with Helle knowing we’re just doing this for fun.

But it’s his dream. It probably is a pipe dream but it’s his pipe dream. Obviously it’s not about money since dude being paid peanuts the past year now.

Jets are Atlanta tho. They can have the old jets records all they want but this versions history is in Atlanta just like Utah’s history is in Arizona so it be silly to ignore.

To be fair, I think Mike was referencing his football career in general not specifically the nfl. But either way, you seem to be offended by his choices. As long as there are stories like Warner out there its easy to believe guys will believe in themselves and chase their goals. And if Streveler can get an NFL pension, Elgersma has at least a chance

2-0 after 1

well here's one I don't get to post often enough

Kovalchuk has been dxpunged. All the Atlanta guys have which makes sense if the Jets want their records back. I'd love to see Teemu here if he can still play. Nikolai Khabibulin, Teppo Numinen & Tie Domi would be great if they can still physically play.

You gave it your best shot, you little couch potato. It's a pipe dream, not a career. He's made zero cents. We'll see how he does in the UFL as I expect that's where he goes. If I was Waltwrs, I'd tell him to come up here & offer an extra $40,000 at him in marketing money to make his salary $125,000 Canadian. At least give an incentive to come & sign a contract.

Regardless. It makes no sense. But no I didn’t. I dunno @iHeartill give you props for being a good fan but sometimes you are a little off. It’s all good tho. I appreciate the fandom. Maybe they ask Nyquist to play and he finally scores a goal. ask Ilya kovakchuk tho. That would be cool.

did you miss the sarcasm part?

Let’s pretend you are 23 and a QB and you’re trying to live your dream cuz that’s what this is. A kid trying to live his dream. Now try again.

Unless picking first, he’s not going to be a Jet.

Why would Helle play in an alumni game. Prob Chris mason and or hutch cuz 1 lives here and 1 not far from here. Pav is in Europe. 7 announced tho Buff. Thorbs. Perreault. Ladd. Little. Wheeler. Stastny. id hope for Toby and slater. I’d maybe ask teemu and maybe tkachuk if he’s not morbidly obese. Mark stuart also but he’s an asst coach in the league

Exactly my childish point. He hasn't thrown one pass that meant anything in the NFL during the regular season & never will.

Have the current commish prove this wrong because I think he would twist himself into a pretzel trying to do so.

Life changing money? You're talking like Elgersma has a chance to actually make it down there. When was the last time a Canadian qb who played U Sports started for any NFL team? This is now Year 2 for him & as Mike calls it, his NFL "career". I don't see much difference between Year 1 & Year 2. As Booch says, other than a training camp per diem last year, he's made nothing.

all true. it would also be expensive and complicated to get the rights to advertise stuff like that from other leagues. It could also come off very poorly if not done well. and the league hasn’t done a great job at any thing marketing wise in ages.

What career, Mike? He has no "career". He's can't get past the first interview. That's like saying he wants to be a lawyer but can't pass the bar exam. As far as relevance goes, then why doesn't Rich shut this place down? None of us including you have any relevance.

is it October yet? is Helle going to be in net or are they bringing in Pav and....would be nice to see Mason too (I'm being sarcastic about the Helle part)

That would require the cfl to actually market the league and that is something they refuse to do. Basically the cfl is Winnipeg. We are a bunch of small little cities combined into one. People in st Boniface aren’t the same as people in fort Gary. It’s up to fort gary to promote itself. Just like in the cfl it’s up to wade and crew to promote the bombers, there’s nothing they can do to help Toronto or Edmonton. It’s a crazy cycle. CFL needs to do more. They basically do minimum

Would we not want to market the poop out of this especially geared at the 18 year old - 45 year old NFL followers? My 21 year old son who played and loves football quickly got drawn toward the NFL with the Birds being his favorite team. What am I missing here? Losing cause, it won't work, no market, what?

Yeah the quality is very comparable....The top 10..15 percent of the NFL roster player is elite and just the best of best...after that the quality of player os comparable and in many case inferior to top CFL players....but the politics of the NFL play a big role in that
