Alouettes sign QB Quinlan

The Montreal Aloutettes have announced that they signed McMaster University star Kyle Quinlan to a two-year deal yesterday.

Quinlan led McMaster's to a championship title last season, as they beat out the Laval Rouge et Or for the Vanier Cup. he was named tournament MVP, going 36-55, 482 yards, 106 rushing and 2 touchdowns.


Quinlan seems to have a bright future ahead of him, as he looks to be the one who will take over the team when Anthony Calvillo will retire. Those are big shoes to fill, but his impressive resume shows that he is up for the task and a proven champion.


Quinlan will likely be placed as a third string quarterback, behind Anthony Calvillo and Adrian McPherson. he will replace Ricky Santos, who only made one appearance for the Alouettes last season, and who was also the team's main holder.


This signing is very positive for the future of the Alouettes, as it seems they have found their quarterback of the future, the one who will take over Calvillo's legacy.

The CFL

 

If you are not familiar with the CFL please read this.

Many Americans look up on the CFL and they consider it an amateur league.They can't be more wrong.The CFL is older than the NFL and the championship is over a hundred years old. Even though the CFL has  been around for a while, the league struggles to stay alive and the players are paid an average of 80000$ per seasons with only a handful of players receiving more than the NFL minimum wage.Think about it 80000! And don't forget that some players are paid 45000$ (you can skip high school and get 45000$ per year).The players don't live in mansions, they live in suburbs, they don't drive Ferraris, they drive Chevrolets and so on.Why would someone decide to play in this league?(some CFL players could arguably make it to the NFL in my opinion)They play in this league because it's their passion and their life!

So next time you hear about the CFL, please listen you might hear about some great football!
