Daniel Crawley, would you tune into a B.C. Lions game on the NFL network if the Cardinals had their prospects playing?

I, like the TS, simply want year-round football.

Totally agree. Hell I even go to Arena league games to get my fix.

Without a doubt.

Most Likely, but they will have to prove that it will appeal to the casual fan to make it work. Which is possible

That is the major hurdle in this plan! Average CFL fan would be in an uproar to the possibility of changing the Canadian rules. Personally, standardizing the rules would be a very small price to pay to cement the future of the CFL,and create year round sunday football!

I like the idea of interacting internationally, having more opportunity to play with our friends. I would even be open to arena ball if the CFL ever caved in.

It would mean giving up something unique though.

Yes there would be some sacrifice on behalf of CFL fans! But the teams would remain, and the rivalriies. The Grey Cup would have even greater impact in that it would garner more attention from the American sporting community!

I like the idea of having minor legue football (a la NFL Europe) in North America.

You could expand to 16 teams and have 2 NFL teams share a CFL team for their prospects to play on.
