@74shawn not really relevant. You said the "CFL" came before the "NFL" which isn't true. Canadian football might have it's roots deeper than the NFL, but the NFL brand came first.
@JCMoney It is cause it's the same league, different name...we were debating leagues not Brands, but Brands yes. Just gotta realize Canada had pro football first, and for a long time before the NFL came and even awhile after the NFL was here, it was College football that dominated then the CRU (CFL) Cause that's where the money was. It wasn't until the late 70's early 80's that the NFL out payed the CFL,, we had the first million dollar football player in 76
The best part of this clip is how quiet the broadcasters get... you would think they would have said something while someone breaks the record. Must have been Argo fans. :-P
Iamnewfie1 Because I was bored at work? Only a fool would think that the CFL is a better league than the NFL. That would be like saying that the KHL is a better hockey league than the NHL.
@JCMoney Yes, it underwent a name change when the 2 Leagues,the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and Western Interprovincial Football Union (WIFU) who played under the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) since 1892, didn't play each during the season until playoffs when they played for the Grey Cup starting in 1909
I love NFL football but NO ONE in the NFL returned kicks the way the Giz did! Today he is 48 years old and is built like a 25 year old. Henry Williams was the BEST EVER, BAR NONE!
The 82-89 Argos were in the top 2-3 in the league and were the only thing keeping the CFL in business in the east. It's a crying shame that they only won one Grey Cup in the O'Billovich era.
Henry Williams will go down in history as quite possibly the most exciting player in CFL history bar none.
@iamnewfie1 it's one video. i can show a video of an NFL player running back a kick too. How does this video show you CFL is better. The field is so friggin big, try running back a punt or kick in the NFL on a smaller field.
@quincee33 Size doesn't make much difference in difficulty on kick returns , NFL requires size and strength rather then speed, while CFL looks for speed and mobility......so trying to compare the leagues is like comparing apples and oranges. And don't forget we are the original football league with NFL is based off.
@74shawn so you don't like when Dallas Clark makes a 1 handed catch in the back of the endzone? You don't like watching Brady march his team down the field using the sidelines to stop the clock? You don't like watching Chris Johnson run the ball? Football was invented in the U.S. and even though i appreciate the CFL, i think the field and especially the endzone are too big, i much prefer the NFL.... especially flea flickers and reverses...the CFL is always the same plays.
@quincee33 Nothing that hasn't and doesn't happen in the CFL....Football as we know it in North America is know to have first been played in Canada in the 1860's and continued to Evolved differently in both countries, the 2 countries have also played each other on 3 occasions between the Buffalo Bills and the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats
This is 1 Thing the CFL has over the NFL that all Returns Kicks or Punts have to be Returned which mean there's almost always Constant Action in the Game.
who was the fastest CFL player off all times?

The only thing that's missing from the great play was Gizmo's trademark forward flip celebration.

Does it really matter which league came first? Really? Both leagues have a great following, let's just leave it at that shall we folks?
