Seriously though, my biggest complaint with the NFL is the commercials. Here's a typical sequence to start the game:
Kickoff, drive, punt, commercial, drive, injury, commercial, continue drive, challenge, commercial, touchdown, commercial, kickoff, commercial...
Anyway, here's some reading for you:

That's really only cable TV. If you get the NFL package there is a lot less commercials. In response, CFL isn't much different, their commercials are just shorter because they can run their league on about 1/100th the NFL can.
While the NFL needs billions in advertising money to sink into their league, I'm sure that the CFL can run an entire season on the 10% off ride-on lawnmower sale commercials that Canadian Tire pays them for. I still notice CFL to have a lot of commercials.. Series, commercial, punt, commercial, series, etc.
