What an absolutely AWESOME IDEA !! One that is LONG overdue, eh ??
KUDOS to the CFl and TSN for coming up with this one. Should be part of a GREAT Grey Cup Celebration.
Looking at the list of voters I thought for sure I would see Hugh Campbell's name there ... nope.
Any other names you think should be on the VOTER List ?
I have not got ALL the details -- but they SHOULD have allowed for a little FAN Participation, too. Perhaps let the fans vote on a TOP 10 list or something ...
No problem, you actually beat me to the punch as I logged on to express my view that the fans should have been consulted. It would have been very appropriate to select one or two fans from each CFL city to sit on the board.
Great Idea! Tough to narrow it down to 50, although I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict that Warren Moon will be on the list and what the hey, since I'm being so reckless...Russ Jackson might just make it also.
You can't have fans pick, majority of them don't know what they're talking about.. that would be like letting the public vote for the Prime Minister... oh, wait... they already do!.. DOH
This is a GREAT promotion, I think this is an angle the CFL needs to keep plugging - the history. If people are more aware of the (great) history behind this league, they'll be more intrigued by it ... Hockey is legendary in this country, partly because of how well-known its history is. The CFL may never top hockey in popularity, but the more noise made about its history, the better ... I think this is GREAT news!
