Football on TV right now

[bwdlionfan]

The NFL network is showing two CFL games today. Other than not knowing anything about either team to know who to root for, Canadian football isn't that bad. Their salary cap is a little more than $4 million per team, yes, less than half of what Tony Romo makes.

I wish the CFL would catch on here better. I read that the CFL actually had some scrimmages against NFL and AFL teams (before the NFL/AFL merger) and they would play using a combined set of rules. I wonder how they agreed on things such as how many men can be on the field and how long the field is, how many downs you get, etc. There are quite a few differences. One big difference I don't like is on a fumble whoever touches the ball last before it goes out of bounds gets the ball rather than whoever has possession.
