Why is that? Lack of talent?

Its just so boring, you only get 3 downs, the field is so dman wide, the ball is SO BIG, i hate it.

you even get 1 point for punting into the endzone...isnt that weird?


if it was 4 downs, id like it much better.

Too bad there isn't a renegade NFL type minor leage set up in Canada. I bet it would do good.

Canadian Rugby is much more competitve than Canadian Football. And the CFL has a long, and what used to be rich history. Canadian (miss)management is just sad.

Id still like to see a NFL type of league up north. If they played in the Spring and summer, even better!

How do you call 3 downs boring,it's faster than a 1/2 day the NFL gives you to get a 1st down,more passing,more kicking and alot less more stopages.Lets remember we are talking the game here,not the hype ,which of course is the BIG thing about the NFL.And we are watching guys play their heart out because they are trying to get to the NFL to get the big money then play when they feel like it.ie-randy moss.Plus the NFL gets more coverage,ie- player busted for murder,player busted for drugs,player busted for beating up wife.And we have the talent,being a bigger field the sizes of the players is different then the NFL.Alot of those big lineman would;nt survive on our big field.Now I like both leagues,I just don't let the hype fool me.:)

I have no problem with the CFL, rules are fine play is good but it's just lower level football. I'm sure if it was not during the NFL season i would pay more attention to it.

Toronto had the Phantoms...but they were shut down this year. I think they should be back next year though....hopefully.

It's the same size as an NFL ball. It's just rock hard in the fall.

that's the biggest misconception in pro sports.

same size. used to be bigger but not anymore.
Cowboy

and if they're not the same size, then they've only recently reverted.
