Canadian Al Bundy!
Great to see him succeed.
It stunk that he didn't get a healthy year for Iowa, he was a good one.

Yeah. Because he was hurt and struggling to come back. An unhealthy year.
He's banking on free money from his lawsuit instead of working towards making himself good enough to play the game.
I'm so happy for James. Still playing ball and having success. Well done James.
It’s telling that he never made it with a team even in the CFL with what appeared to be a great deal of talent in college.
James appeared to me as the consummate player and unselfish teammate and had good success at Iowa. Guys like James I cheer on long after their Hawkeye days.
Useless fact: James Butler's high school football coach at St. Francis was none other then Greg Purnell (former Linn-Mar coach of the 80s & 90s)
Butler had another excellent game on ESPN last night, with Iowa getting a mention (no video of that unfortunately):
Worth mentioning that the CFL record for TDs in a season is 23. JB is at 6 through 3 games!
The defense played up here makes B12 Defenses look like the steel Curtain defenses. Embarrassing rules and lack of talent.
Four TDs Canadian . . . I think that's about six American at the current exchange rate.
Happened to turn on the CFL game late afternoon yesterday. Hamilton vs Edmonton. James Butler is the starting RB for Hamilton. Having a very good year there.
He’s one of the best RBs in the league. Ever since he had the breakout year in the XFL (I think in 2020) he’s capitalized with an incredible run in the CFL. I think he just signed a pretty nice contract going into last season.
One would think Wadley's moves, speed, catching ability would be very useful in the bigger canadian field and rules to allow forward motion.
Considerations would include below average & inconsistent blocking and special teams play.
Yes. It is hard to get used to and not saying illegal motion or false start. The field with the 55 yard line and everything is in yards, but the entire country is metric.
I do wish our end zones were more like theirs. So friendly to the offense.
Any of you old timers remember RB Jamaal Butler (Oak Creek, WI)? I can’t remember, but I want to say Iowa was in the mix or he had verballed? He got in trouble and then ended up suing his HS….🤔
Canada should just give it up and take an NFL team in Vancouver and one in Toronto. Weather in Toronto in Dec/Jan isn't any different than Buffalo. I know it would kill the CFL, but their stands are always damn near empty.
