I watched the opening day game on the NFL network and enjoyed it .
I wish the CFL would move their season back some, so that I could see more snow games.
The NFL is starting to do that , it lets the cold weather teams have a slight advantage.

Default Used to love watching...

the CFL when I was a kid - grew up 30 minutes from the border with Ontario (Watertown, NY). Love the depth of the end zone - creates more scoring opportunities. 2 men in motion at the snap - one going forward - crazy!!! I recall watching on CBC and CTV??

Thumbs up

I love it,but have always wondered why the CFL and the NFL haven't tried preseasons games between the 2 leagues. I realize the rules have to be agreed on but it would be fun to watch.

Being in Ontario I Love the CFL! I am a Ti-cats fan all the way!

I love the 3 downs, it means you have to be really good towards the end of the game because it is VERY hard to just sit on the ball and drain the clock.

Default NFL vs CFL

The buffalo bills played a CFL team in the 1960's. The bills lost.
I am also somewhat of a fan with the large endzones, more agressive play, and just seeing something different on NFL network. I am sick of the updates every 15 minuets.

Default CFL on NFL network

I love watching the CFL on THE NFL Network. Try to catch as many games as possible. It kinda fills in the void before the NFL Preseason starts.

I plan on doing a CFL Solitaire season as soon as I can get some teams done to play on my CFL edition gameboard. Probably not until next summer though, after I finish my Classic Tudor AFL/NFL/WFL Solitaire league teams and get that season going.
