and i suppose you would like to move the teams all to the states where all the real football fans are so the atmosphere would be nfl-like and players could be overpaid and an american network would show the league and it would become a farm team league to the nfl...
the canadian game is great, unique and ultimately very canadian (in that its not perfect but its about the love of playing the game). that being said, rule changes are ok, if it weren't for rule changes the nfl and cfl would both be rugby...
if you want a game thats identical to the nfl, except with a slight tweak of the 2/3 minute warning and a big change to the timeclock, then the nfl can give you that. the cfl is a different game, and hopefully always will be, while continuing to improve and come up with new ideas (not just copying the nfl). i think the idea here is the cfl wants to hear new ideas of things that can be improved, not just what can we copy from our southern neighbors
