From
where I sit it looks like Chad Johnson still thinks he can play
football...

The
problem is he's going to try to continue his career in the CFL. I
don't really blame him for trying, but I'm wondering how much
research he has done into the Canadian game. The number of NFL stars
who have managed to make the jump into the CFL is few and far
between. There's still a steady stream of players heading the other
way, but for long-time pros the transition to the Canadian game has been basically
impossible. Although the name is the same, the CFL is a vastly
different sport. It will be a waiting process to see if Johnson can
learn a bigger field, more players, different rules and a faster
game. Much faster. At the start of the season the Eagles were
running four plays a minute and were considered amazingly fast. In
the CFL the play clock is twenty seconds. Good luck to both the
Alouettes and Johnson. At the very least this will expose more
Americans to the CFL game and that's never a bad thing.
At
least that's how I see it and I sit in the cheap seats.
