Tecmo Players in the CFL

[Bad Moon Rison]

I was doing some searching on Gil Fenerty and stumbled across this CFL site that has links to CFL players who also were somewhat legendary Tecmo players.

Anyone ever seen this before?

Some of them are pretty interesting. I like the Andre Ware picture.

I think it would be cool if someone came up with a list of all the players in TSB that had once played in the CFL.

[capnjiffy]

Haha, Andre Ware sucked there, too

[Bad Moon Rison]

Don't disrespect Ware. I sometimes use him over Peete.

That site says: "A total of 12 prominent offensive players in Tecmo Super Bowl spent some time in the Canadian Football League with varying degrees of success." They forgot to include Gary Anderson, Tampa rb, so that brings the total to 13. Gary played for the Memphis Mad Dogs in 1995.

Pft. You mean Holly Robinson of '21 Jump Street' fame. At one time, she was a bigger star than co-star, Johnny Depp.

The total is now 13 offensive players, and 1 defensive player: that site forgot Bobby Humphery, Rams CB, who played for the first American CFL team ever, the Sacramento Gold Miners, in 1993 and 1994. In 1995, the Gold Miners moved and became the San Antonio Texans, and Humphery went with them. 1995 would be his last season in pro football.

There are at least 3 more by my count:

Jerry Kauric, Cle K, played for the Edmonton Eskimos in the 80s.

Keith Woodside, GB RB, played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the mid-90s (1995, I think).

Steve Christie, TB K, played for part of the 2007 season with the Toronto Argonauts.

This one doesn't count, I guess, because he never made the regular-season roster: Percy Snow, Chiefs LB, came out of retirement to attend training camp with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1996 (if I remember correctly), but he ended up quitting the team part way through camp, having cited a loss of passion for football.

He quit because he couldn't compete in the game up here, and was too embarrassed to put it any other way, heh

(I live in Riderville, and go to training camp most years to watch)

I remember seeing him tho

Derrick Thomas made everyone on that defense better. I was surprised to see Snow only played 3 years in the NFL. He must have sucked.

[Coach_Bama]

Snow was a dominant linebacker in college. He had an injury once he went pro and that screwed things up. Those Michigan State teams he was on played great defense. George Perles was a good coach, too.

I had forgotten that Snow had such a short NFL career. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Snow

As much as I love Derrick Thomas (and I saw a lot of him when he wore a crimson jersey in college), he wasn't the only good player on the Chiefs' defense. Neil Smith, Dan Saleaumua, and Bill Maas combined for a dominant DL, Albert Lewis was an All-Pro corner and Kevin Ross was a good corner, too. Deron Cherry was a good safety. For Derrick to stand out among such a good group of defenders just shows how special he was.

At Alabama in 1988, as a senior, Derrick recorded 27 sacks. In one season. He finished only 10th in the Heisman.

Whatever.

[TomTupa]

Snow is very underrated in Tecmo. I'm usually him instead of DT, since he's in a good spot and can play the pass.

[Doktor Zlo]

They show a lot of old CFL games on the ESPN Classic channel, and it seems that every time I watch, I notice another TSB alum that we haven't listed.

And since the first link in this thread is dead, I figured that I'd look up and list all the TSB guys that had played in the CFL during the regular season and/or playoffs. There were many more than I had thought.

[Tikker]

I'm 99% certain that Odessa Turner played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders

(i'm not sure if he also played with the ottawa Rough Riders as well)

[Doktor Zlo]

I'm from Saskatchewan, and I have no memory of Odessa Turner playing for the Roughriders. He definitely did play for Ottawa; he was their top receiver in 1995.

[Tikker]

just called my friend to check

she just hooked up with him when he was in regina, while travelling thru

Your friend banged Odessa Turner? That's pretty cool.

[Tikker]

but I'll let her know that the internet thinks her hookup was awesome
