        He's made millions of dollars at the highest levels of professional sport - Will Hunting Aug 31, 08:41 12

        I never get this: why doesn't the CFL use meters instead of yards? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 31, 09:30 1
        
        because the CFL started a long time before metric was adopted (mid 70s) -- nm - zork Aug 31, 09:32
        
        He would be a star in Arena League and a boom for any team that got him -- nm - eag Aug 31, 09:29
        
        I agree with your im....and I would be happy if I achieved like he did. But he'll be a footnote in the NFL -- nm - Remlik Aug 31, 08:52
