Its amazing how one quarter of football is considered a good game. Other then the last 8 minutes of the fourth quarter and one interception it was a typical boring NFL game.

With only three downs in the CFL you can't waste time trying to run the ball play after play.

Just look at the first quater of this game....there were a total of three possessions. Teams just run running play after running play and eat up the clock.

um yeah. Get back to me when the CFL is making as much money as the NFL and when their "super canada bowl" is practically a national holiday. Meanwhile, all you canucks are watching the super bowl with us americans, but you can bet your ASS us Americans are not watching your stupid Ice-Snow-mediocre-minor-league-type-player-bowl.

I love Canada. But there are some things that canada just takes 2nd place in. They win for hockey, LOSE for football. Such is life.

The CFL is a more exciting and more entertaining form of football. The NFL popularity is completely driven by gambling....over a Billion Dollars will be bet on the superbowl alone. Its unfortunate that american ignorance won't allow them to watch a better brand of football.

the superbowl is always a slow game since they have to milk it for every penny with as many commercial breaks as possible.

hahaha Im not ignorant. I have watched it. Its completely your opinion, but I would rather watch the best players in the world, not the NFL's "farm teams."

Just as in soccer, I am always watching European teams over the american league because it is more entertaining to me to watch the best players and more established teams.

Trust me, making money is based on people liking it and watching it. If the CFL was really that great, then where is the overwhelming audience? Oh wait, there is none.

So you are basing which brand of football is better because of the skills of the players?

I agree that the NFL has better players but that doesn't make the brand of football more exciting to watch. When I compare the two brands of football, to me, the CFL is a more entertaining brand. There can be several highlight reel plays every quarter and every snap is meaningful. The NFL game makes it too easy to get a first down and its a running game not a passing game. The biggest plays and the most exciting highlight reel plays come when the quarterback puts the ball in the air, not when he hands it off for a run up the middle.

maybe i was unlucky when i tried to watch the CFL but i agree with kelly. everytime i watched it, they tried the long plays and more times than not, it was incomplete. after which there punted the ball. the often change of possession turned me off the CFL.

and really, the league is pretty crappy anyway. 8 teams? really? 6 out of 8 teams make the playoffs. kinda meaningless imo.

again, that is your opinion, but CLEARLY it is not the overwhelming majority opinion. Like smunky said....6 of 8 teams make the playoffs? whats the point? Its almost as useless at the college BCS series.

Wah wah wah wah, the CFL football IS more exciting to watch, as the 3 down rule forces passing plays more often than not.

NFL games are fun to watch as well, but I very quickly tire of off-tackle left, sweep right, repeat ad nauseum with 1 or 2 passes in a drive. This is the majority of most NFL teams.

CFL teams, when running, have to do something different a lot of the time to succeed in that. Things like line stunts, pulling guard plays and other semi-crazy shit.

Sure, the players may not seem to have as much talent, but that's simply due to the lack of population being able to support such ridiculous salaries as is expected in professional sport. There are of course, exceptional players past and present, Anthony Calvillo, Mike Clemons, Angelo Mosca, Rocky DiPietro, Willie Pless, Mike Pringle, etc.

In spite of all this, the CFL still has the 3rd-highest per-game attendance of any professional sports league in all of North America. Montreal Alouettes games are seemingly sold out thousands of years in advance, and having been to many NFL games at a bunch of different stadiums, nothing comes close to the absolute shitshow of a party that is a Hamilton Ti-Cats game.

Anyway, I like both leagues, but the CFL is a faster game and isn't so horribly commercialized. I like it that way.

Of course it isn't. Look at your country's population compared to ours.
