CFL players over-paid? I think not. League minimum is something like $23,000, with the average somewhere around $50,000, and that, only because of the one or two players a team who make the big bucks....maybe $400 - 500 thousand. So over paid muscle-bound jerks they are not....they might be muscle bound jerks, but they definatly aren't over-paid.
Actually, I think it's pretty fair what CFL players get paid. I couldn't afford to live off of the league minimum, but even the average of $50,000 is quite decent...lets the guy make a living, while not making more than someone of true value to society, like doctors, or police or fire persons....
...and the game is more entertaining than the boring NFL, which has about as much excitement as watching CMP paint dry
