    The CFL is a feeder league for the NFL. Kind of like a second college. It is no where near as good as the NFL. Then again, the NFL is no where near the BCS so whatevs.

    Toronto is a horrible city for sports. The only sport the people really care for is hockey, and the Maple Leafs are terrible. Their market is huge, they should competing for the cup every year. Unfortunately the fans will sell out the arena no matter how bad the team is, and the owners know this.
    Oh man <3

    I enjoy the CFL rules better. Faster, higher scoring games, and I also love it when QB's go shotgun and rock 6 receivers going down the field. I love how a team in the CFL can come back to win the game in the last 3 minutes, where as in the NFL, once the team winning gets ahold of the ball, it's super fucking easy for them to burn that few last minutes. Those types of situations are just more exciting for me.

    But the NFL is better football still because the talent in the NFL is just a hell of a lot better then in the CFL. Jeff Garcia was an amazing QB when he played for the Stamps. And after winning a couple Grey Cups, he heads south, gets on a team as a third string QB, and still gets paid more there then he did when he was here. Sure, he's had some success, he's had a couple decent seasons, and not too long ago, he played well with the Eagles when Mcnabb was injured. But it's not like he's made it to the big game at the end of the season and won it.

    I worry about the NFL coming to Canada. I'd love it if cities like Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, etc, etc could hold an NFL caliber team, but I just see a league like the NBA or MLB where there is 1 Canadian team barely keeping up with the league (The Raptors are doing pretty good actually compared to the last couple seasons, but the Jays fucking suck =/). If it can get to the point like in the NHL where there are a few strong Canadian teams, then I'm all for it!
