    Love of the game man

    If I could make a living playing a number of sports I love I'd do it in a heart beat.

    eh, I disagree with that. It sounds like it is more of a pride thing for him.

    But $63,000 is nothing to sneeze at, though he'd get more with the Longhorns so I can see why.

    Coming from a different direction though. VY was elite in college and earned (and lost) millions, he (presumably) thinks he is too good for CFL and that would be a down step.
    For you, and us, it's a step up and we would jump at the chance for it.

    travel, move out of your home for most of the year, fly to Canada back and forth for a year, pay for a new apartment in Canada.. all for 60,000 dollars?

    That 60K won't go all that far when you factor in your health risks plus all the traveling and uprooting you have to do. Plus taxes taken out.. he may as well have gotten a job at a local Houston car dealership.

    I make about 30k sitting on my#$$ typing on Gotitans for much of the day. Rather do this!

    I don't know, if you asked Earl Campbell today if his NFL career was all worth it, what he would say. He can hardly walk.

    60,000 dollars is chump change. Not worth it at all imo.

    I would love to make 60K per year

    IF I COULD DO IT UNTIL I WERE 60 YEARS OLD.

    If make 60000 a year until I was 60 I would be extremely pissed and would have wasted my time.

    Let's do the math on this 60K dollar scenario.

    Flights (coach) from houston to Winnipeg in September- $630 x 10 flights or so.

    6300 dollars

    6 months apartment in Winnipeg $1000 per month

    6000 dollars

    So he'd be out 12,300 immediately.. without any other expenses. 48,000 before taxes, food, and everything else.

    I'd be thrilled with that.

    I live cheaply. 2 car payments, 300 bucks total per month

    Mortgage is under 500 per month. I could survive easily off of 20K per year, plus the wife works and makes a little, too. I don't really buy anything other than food.

    I mean don't get me wrong I could live off of 60,000 pretty easily but I'd like more. Unless I never have kids then I'd be ok with 60000 a year.
