David Boston Signs With Toronto, Eh?

You know you're a pretty big fuckup when you have to skip over the Raiders and head straight for Canada to resume your professional football career. But that's what David Boston did. He's a Toronto Argonaut now, so the bad news is that he'll be paid less than if he was in the NFL. But the good news is that the US dollar is so weak that he may still be coming out ahead.

I love the fact that even employees of the CFL know that their league is he equivalent of a work release program.

"Most players in this league have had some chinks in their armour at some point, so I don't think there's anything to be overly concerned about."

For those who don't know, some differences between American and Canadian football are that they are allowed twelve men on the field, the playing field is 65 x 110 yards (not including endzones) and instead of leather, the balls are made out of back bacon. This explains why the expression, "This player eats balls" has two completely different meanings depending on which side of the border you're on.
