Name 3 Heisman winners who played in the CFL?(Hint: not OJ Laughing )

Does Carson Palmer count? He was a backup QB but dunno if he took a snap in the regular season.

Doug Flutie of course. Ricky Williams.

Dunno who else would be the third if not Palmer.

My fav Roughrider of all time was Ray Elgaard. I nicknamed him "Thor!" Laughing Gawd he was good.
(Him and Rocky DiPietro in Hamilton for those who remember the tough-as-a-tank slotbacks)

Elgaard was a slotback STUD. His only problem was him playing 2 seasons past his prime.

The Heisman winners I was thinking of were: Flutie(duh!), Johnny Rodgers(from Nebraska-played for Montreal in the '70s) and Billy Vessels(played in the '50s).

I didn't know Williams was a Heisman winner! Confused

I was wondering how in the hell Winnipeg ended up in the Grey Cup against Saskatchewan. Ottawa's a defunct team again. Guess I haven't been keeping track.

Winnipeg's been back and forth between the West and East conferences due to Ottawa being in and out of the league (and Montreal once?).

Yeah, sure enough, Ricky Williams was indeed a Heisman winner. If he coulda layed of the dope....

For the last 20 yrs., due to franchise changes, the US expansion experiment, yada, yada, ...Winnipeg has been the yo-yo franchise, going from "East'' to "West" and back again....

Moon never won a Heisman but he kicked ass in Canada(often at the expense of the Riders Sad ) and was no slouch w/ Seattle and Minnesota either.

I would have said Joe Thiesmann, but he was runner up.

The Roughriders vs the Rough Riders. Laughing

When the CFL was expanding south of the border, (remember the Las Vegas Posse?). A group from San Antonio wanted a team and they would call themselves the San Antonio Rough Riders.

the CFL said "Can't do it"
San Antonio "Why not, is there already a team named the Rough Riders?"
the CFL "yes, two."

I lived in Ottawa and went to several Rough Rider games. I always cheered for the home team unless of course the Roughriders were playing. Confused


I never sat in the north side of the stadium.
Why not you ask?
Cause, NORTH SIDE SUCKS, NORTH SIDE SUCKS.

Those were the days.

That's funny, because the first game I ever went to was in Ottawa in 1985 against Saskatchewan. I remember that there were no injuries in the game.

The only other game I went to was in 1986, I think. BC Lions and Winnipeg (can't quite remember). I think it was the first game of the season. One thing I remember is that Swervin' Mervin punted at least once. Don't know why. I think maybe the punter was injured. Strange. He was the best receiver in the game then (I think). I went with my dad and had one of those tall cups of beer. I was 17.

Ah, ''Swervin' " Mervyn Fernandez. Versatile and exciting player...reminded me of Johnny Rodgers back in the day. In the old days teams had only a 32 man roster so the more versatile you were, the more valuable you were.

In the '60s & '70s the Riders had a guy named Al Ford(American). In one game he would sometimes be: tight end, def. back, punter, punt/KO returner. Later became GM of the Riders, winning the 1989 Cup.
