Was it dope Williams? He had tonnes of success in the CFL. The NFL can keep him, that style of play deserves him.
ESPN said he wont be coming to CFL, they said UFL.

I'm definitely in the camp that the NFL isn't world's better than the CFL skill-wise, and that there's alot of players in the CFL who could probably be playing NFL ball right now. Though I also don't agree with some people who feel the athletes in both leagues are "equal but different". The NFL IMO clearly has the better athletes(and IMO is the better game).
Ricky Williams was different. He's a N/S runner, someone you hand the rock to 20-25 times a game and will grind out a win. This is not suited for the 3-down CFL game, where scatbacks rule the ground. Ricky played poorer than I thought he would up here, but I still knew he'd be a disappointment considering all the hype he came here with.
Vick is a different situation. With his running ability, he is
perfectly suited to the CFL game(when's the last time you saw a dominant, statuesque QB in this league? It's basically a pre-requisite for CFL QB's to know how to scramble, at least a little). I'm not saying he'd become hands-down the greatest player in CFL history or something like that. But I also think he'd be the most exciting player we'd have seen in this league in a long time, possibly ever.
