Boomer is terrible. If I recall the CFL thing came up because CBS showed a clip of Streveler celebrating his Grey Cup win with WPG. Nantz referred to the Grey Cup as a great trophy and Boomer quips "Not as great as the Stanley Cup".
Then when Streveler throws the bad pass Boomer remarks "you might be able to do that in the Grey Cup or the CFL but not in the NFL..". Idiot.

Most Americans would see footage of Streveler making a play in the Grey Cup and assume he was a starting QB for a championship team when he was basically the CFL's version of Taysom Hill. He's not the ideal poster boy for CFL QB's so I can see why that may lead to a comment like that. I'm actually surprised he actually got himself into game action as far more accomplished CFL QB's never had the opportunity to throw a pass in a regular season NFL game.
