The Edmonton fans in the area just laughed. And predicably everyone on both sides knew that Cgy couldn't audible, So the esks clogged the middle and Calgary couldn't punch it in. That was embarassing, and I gave up on the CFL as rinky dink from that point on.

I allmost wet my pants reading this.
I'm a huge NFL fan. I don't watch the CFL at all. But I don't argue about which is better. I know what I like. If somebody likes something differant than me that is fine. But I will share what I like about he NFL.
Atmosphere. Like a few people have stated. The atmosphere at an NFL stadium is unreal. I have been to Arrowhead 5 times. After the game I am completely drained, physically and mentally exhausted.
Even when you watch on tv. When the home team is on defense at a pivotal point in the game. The home crowd is extremely loud. How can you not feel that energy?
Scheduling. The NFL is relatively easy to follow. Games start at 11am (mountian) and 2pm. With the Sunday night game at 6:15pm. Then on Monday the game is at 6:30pm. After college football is over the NFL will have a couple Thursday night games and Saturday games. But you allways know when the games start.
Fan friendly. If your an NFL fan. You can get all the info you could ever ask for from the NFL. NFL films does an amazing job of covering the league. They have a tv channel that is on 24/7. A radio channel that is on 24/7. If you want to eat, sleep, and drink, the NFL. You can.
Defense. I know some people find defense boring. But sin't it exciting to see a QB get sacked (unless its the QB of your favorite team)? Or to see a huge hit that absolutely destroys an offensive player? Forced fumbles, interceptions, 3 and outs. That is what makes football exciting to me. Scoring is exciting too. But to me the most exciting play in football is a forced fumble and recovery.
I could go on and on. But that is just my 2 cents.
