I'm not sure how you define "quality" but I find the CFL rules more entertaining.

Of course the NFL has the best athletes - but the imports that come to play in the CFL are not complete chumps - many played in big NCAA programs.

Someone please check my math - I estimate there are 12,000 players in NCAA Div I football, and 1,500 players in the NFL. Players that come to the CFL are still in the 85% percentile of the best players in the NCAA.
