Warren Moon is a Hall of Fame NFL Quarterback. He was a 9-time Pro Bowl selection and had his uniform number '1' retired by the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans). In 1990 he won the NFL MVP. He finished his NFL career with almost 50,000 yards passing. Only Favre, Mario, Manning and Elway have more.
Before he started his Hall of Fame NFL career, he played in the CFL, winning 5 Grey Cups along the way. He is currently the only player enshrined in both the NFL and CFL Halls of Fame.
Warren's instructional football videos for Pro Tips 4U focus on drills and techniques that can help improve your quarterbacking skills.
Finally, a CFL explanation video with someone who ACTUALLY KNOWS the game. Warren Moon, you rock!
I like the fact that Flutie and Moon, to the best of my knowledge, never criticized the CFL. Some players have come up and trashed the league when they left. I dislike that. If they came to the CFL it was to play and improve. They don't need to be grateful, they don't have to be rude either.
Flutie's skillset was made for the CFL. That Calgary team lining up with six receivers was amazing to watch.
Why is everyone here arguing which is better, watch whichever damn game you want and enjoy it. If it's good enough for Warren Moon then I don't see any problems with the difference between the rules.
Two different games.
Warren's my Goat 🐐
And THAT is why the CFL is awesome. Not to mention the glorious history and classic games.
I am an American and CFL will always be a passion for me and I am always thrilled by every dramatic game I get to watch for the past 10 years I started watching it .....I love it ! Go Roughriders Go!
Red Spaniard man. I'm so sorry you chose them lol
He's fine I'm a ti-cat's fan
Red Spaniard
Argonauts
Any given night of the weej
Dumbass, where the hell do your think Canada is? North Pole? Canada is in America lol someone needs a geography lesson and I just schooled you🤣
@@uomotigre3800 Are you drunk ? lol
Moon was amazing when he was in Edmonton. Unreal arm.
I recall one color commentator say Warren Moon's pass to a receiver was 'a frozen rope'.
Five (5) consecutive championships. Even Tom Brady can't say that.
I like that he still respects the CFL, players that think their to good for the CFL,need to listen to this man.
*cough*Johnny Manziel*cough*
Canadian's who crap on our (CFL) league need to listen!
@@shondevet2267 They've already made up their minds that anything other than the top 8 teams in the NFL is bush league. I used to go to school with people like that. They boasted that "Any NFL team is better than Canadian. Watch any game." Well, I did, it was the Colts (who were bad at the time). Came back to argue that if that were a "better" team, they need to be much, much better, and the reply was, "You don't watch that team, they're only middle, you watch Oakland."
Granted, that was in the "Glory Days" of the NFL, where a score of 9 - 7 was a brilliantly offensive game. And if I could go back in time to that time, I would have brought up that the rookie Warren Moon had already played five championships and the NFL didn't want him because of his colour. And I would have asked the public school principal at the time, Bernie Custis, to address the racism problems in the NFL.
It's an arguement that goes back to the dawn of time, two different leagues two different games, I remember Vince Ferragamo signing for Montreal and he could not adjust to the speed of the CFL, the NFL has money, but for me personally the wider and longer field makes the game fun and exciting , Doug Flutie was amazing because he could throw those long bombs down the field, Warren Moon, also , there was Dieter Brock, but players want to play in the NFL for the money for the fame and obviously the recognition, is it a better game depends on what you want to watch, both are great leagues but I will take the CFL .
@SKY CHAD Cfl is faster paced and hard hitting compared to the NFL. I watch both and have played both American and Canadian football and CFL is much harder. Go Eagles! Go Riders!
Vince shouldnt of started until 5 or 6 games into the season he would of done better. Vince had a lot trouble reading the middle safety .
Moon wouldve held practically every career record in the NFL if an NFL team had drafted him as a QB out of college. He threw one of the best spirals of all time.
Nebula Yes. Another scary fact is that many black backup QBs have shorter careers than their white counterparts who sometimes have 10 plus year careers as backups. Kordell Stewart made this emotionally made this point in an interview that’s somewhere on TH-cam.
Nebula Also here’s part of Kordell’s interview: th-cam.com/video/GQhJTWH3pgQ/w-d-xo.html
He came to the CFL specifically because teams in the NFL tried to tell him that blacks could not play QB in the NFL. Check out his other video.
So true......
Warren Moon ; one of the all time greats !
Warren Moon! My favorite QB Alltime! In my book he's second to none!
I love the CFL. It is as exciting as hell. I think what matters most is a close game. I have nothing against the NFL, obviously the players are amazing. But after watching a CFL game which is so wild west with the huge field and amazing passing and like Warren says the ability to score many ways its just amazing one minute to the next. I find the NFLwith huge players on a smaller field just very precise like a surgeon's cut. But for wild excitement the CFL is just crazy. I go to get a beer and in the CFL they scored 2 touchdowns! As for Warren Moon, he is a class act.
'Wild' Foorball!
Playing in the CFL had to have been a huge advantage. It would be like shooting pool only on a 9' x 4'6" table for a few years versus a 7' x 3'3" table. The smaller table is so much easier.
Great comments by Warren Moon. I saw an interview with him many years ago and he touched on the CFL ball. The ball now is virtually the same as the US ball but it used to be just a wee bit bigger and had the stripes. He said it made him a better thrower not so much because the ball was ever so slightly larger but because he could easily see how tight his spirals were. He said tightening his spirals made him a more accurate passer which I’d never heard before. Anyone who watched Warren Moon in the NFL knew he was a great passer but if you paid close attention you would also see his spirals were super super tight. He threw a gorgeous ball and he attributed that to playing in the CFL. Great guy, great player (in both leagues) and wonderful ambassador for the game.
Warren Moon is the awesome. i enjoyed watching him play for the Edmonton and they won 5 Grey Cups because of his extraordinary talent.
The end zones used to be 25 yards, but were shortened to 20 yards when B.C. Place Stadium was built. Toronto has 18 yard end zones due to the size of the stadium.
one of the few players that adjust to the CFL right way
Moon will always be my Qb. Thnaks for the memories in Houston.
I love this man I am a huge Tiger Cat fan but every time Warren moon and his Eskimos came to Hamilton they kicked our asses
I like the idea of getting rid of the fair catch rule
I watched Warren in CFL, was watching a beautiful smooth ideal QB, great player. The CFL employed black QBs before they got a decent chance in the NFL, or maybe any chance. He was proven too good to exclude. I like how he loved the CFL. Its a great game and a great league thats been there maybe as long or longer than the NFL. The players arent as rich, but they are great players that love the game. Warren Moon was an unforgettable player, a class act.
I like the rule where the ball has to be returned from the end zone on a kickoff or punt and missed fg or results for a score for kicking team.
Love the CFL
Great to watch and there are more similarities than differences
Les face it, whether it's the NFL, CFL or the College game, the key is even match-ups and great games
Long as your team wins of course
Just enjoy 'em all
Warren Moon has always spoke so well of both leagues. Love the way he clearly explains the CFL game.
Thanks for watching!
My favourite difference is the rules regarding motion. In the CFL you can have multiple players in motion, and they can be running towards the LOS. Jamming a WR is also a lot more difficult, as there it only a single yard window vs five in the NFL. That's why there is only three downs. If you gave teams fours downs with some of those rules, you'd have teams regularly putting up 50+ points.
CanadaMMA there is a 5 yard window in the cfl too
You're right. I forgot they changed that rule a few years ago.
It does seem like the receivers are offsides on at least half the passing plays though, but the zebras rarely call it unless its really obvious.
@@bjdon99 receivers can be in the neutral zone as long as they don't cross that one yard plane that's why it often looks offside. I scream at my TV about it all the time.
I'm just going to mention how the CFL came first, then the NFl.
Technically, the CFL didn't exist until 1958, it's just that the teams played in a union long before that.
Not quite. www.cfl.ca/2011/05/15/birth-of-north-american-football-137-years/
Some Blue Dude your wrong
Game developed from Rugby at the university level. McMaster had a larger field than Harvard and they both adjusted their rules accordingly.
@@teto85 wasn't Mac it was McGill in 1883
Warren has always liked baking cookies. I remember Warren's Chocholate Chippery at West Edmonton Mall.
And that's all that matters. If it's good enough for Warren Moon, then it's good enough for me.
LOL! That pre-season game reminds me of the Alouettes - Argos game some years back.
Warren Moon will forever be the King of Houston Football(Oilers or Texans).
I'm in Edmonton & I still consider Edmonton to be his home team.
Moon was the Tom Brady of the CFL. Had he not bounced for the NFL he would have racked up double digit Grey Cups easy.
DOubt it.The Eskimos were on the downward slide when he left and Doug Flutie was on the horizon
@@darinfrandsen3393 Today the Eskimos are renamed the Elks & they are on the bottom & have no horizon.

im American and the NFL is boring as f@ck. CFL seems like a blast
Are you fuckin stupid
Blacc Locc
are you fuckin american
Im a Canadian and they're both better in different ways. The NFL is a more intense game with much more on the line while the CFL is much quicker and funner but some games feel like preseason games.
It is
@@blacclocc9294 notice he didn't crap all over your opinion just made his known. That's called class
Warren Moon (1) to Brian Kelly (70)
Greatest combo in Edmonton history
Tommy. As a born and raised Torontonian.....I agree with you. Possibly greatest combo in C.F.L. Damn, they were good together.
Fish and Chips
Pretzels and Beer
Moon and Kelly.
The team he played for in Canada The Edmonton Eskimos back in the day could have beat a few NFL teams
Its not fair to say that NFL players are better at every position than CFL players. There have been NFL stars that have come to the CFL game and struggled. The games are different so one brand may suit a players best traits than the other brand does - each game has its own quirks and nuances. I love both games but they are different and I love them for those differences too.
One thing that really striked me while visiting the U.S. was the shallow end zone!
Him and Gretzkey are basically royalty here in Edmonton
Thanks for watching.
Night and day. Thanks Warren. YOU, sir, are the real G.O.A.T. Tommy Terrific, Drew, and even Payton, could not have been effective in both leagues. Warren and Doug were the exception.
Seems better than American rules football to me.
We know what a catch is
Currently if you watch a CFL game vs the NFL the big difference, which wasn't like this until some point in the 90s when they all adopted it, is that just about every play except a 2nd or 3rd and 1 QB sneak situation, is done from the shotgun in the CFL now. They almost never line up under center / centre any longer. Sometimes its a bit dumb that they don't do this (like on 2nd and 3 or something like that) but the teams just don't do it any longer.
That is true. The shotgun give the QB more time especially on a pass. So, I think they are just doing what works better.
@@my3dviews the shotgun allows the QB not to have to back pedal so much. Like you said it allows more time because the defense is farther away.
The one good CFL rule I do like is the 'no fair catch' rule.
Cool, but I would like to see these "better players in the N.F.L." come up here and see how they match up playing our game. Oh wait... I have seen it... many times and the vast majority fail miserably.
I watch both leagues. I probably watch every single CFL game, since they don't play two at the same time, due to number of teams. Both are great, but I do prefer CFL rules. Some better players at certain positions in the NFL, of course, because Americans grew up watching and dreaming of playing there for the big bucks and that is their first choice. Hard for me to adjust when I watch the first half of the CFL season and then the NFL starts and it is so frustrating to watch. What a waste of time to have those kick offs that just go through the end zone. They should just give the team the ball to start the game. And those punts that the receiver doesn't even try to catch. GRRRRRR. Other thing I really prefer in the CFL is the clock. Stop time in the final three minutes. Gets rid of the need for all those time outs and you will never have to see the worst play in all of sports, when an NFL quarterback spikes the ball to stop the clock. What the heck is that ??? Looks like intentional grounding to me. Anyways, still like to watch NFL, especially this past season when there was no CFL. Always liked Warren Moon, even though I am a life long Argo fan.
GREAT comments mate. Spot on and those I know (live in the US now but Canadian born and raised) that have given the CFL a chance really enjoy the game. Not saying they prefer it to their NFL and college but have far more respect for it than before I twisted their arm to watch. I wish the game could get on a little better financial footing. They need to be paying those players A LOT more money. They play as rough and tough as NFL players and subject to the same long term injuries. The CFL needs to do a better job marketing and getting high end sponsors so the clubs can pay the players better.
0:21 he refers to many other ways to score in CFL.
The only score I know of in CFL that is not in NFL is the rouge.
What am I missing?
The end zone is 25 yards deep? That's crazy.
Technically the end zones are only 20 yards deep, but back when Warren Moon was playing in the CFL there were two stadiums that had slightly longer end zones.
As Warren Moon said, you can throw a deep ball on the one yard line. That's awesome don't you think?
NFL players are more skilled than CFL players, NFL QB's and receivers would, (no pun intended), have a field day with 20 yard deep end zones.
I remember the ill fated US experiment with the CFL, most of the stadiums couldn't fit the regulation end zones, only San Antonio and maybe Baltimore had them, other cities had 15 year ones, Memphis was 9 and half, and when the Stallions played there, the announcer said that "Looks like Fenway Park".
The best thing about it was we were the only US team to be in 2 Grey Cups and win one. And it probably helped get the NFL back to Charm City, before that that town was blackballed by the league. I still root for the Montreal Allouettes because GM Jim Popp is still the final holdover from the Baltimore franchise.
A lot of American players cant or wont adapt to the Canadian rules and go home pouting. It's true that many American players are better athletes but it's due to money. If the Canadians paid the players better they'd have the top athletes and not the NFL.
i agree with your statement for the most part but which rules are they playing with? and which field would they play on @Laxer3760
Good question
NFL is boring, to many rules do's and donts, CFL is more open with wider end zones. more scoring.
CFL is equivalent to US high school football. Of course there are less rules
sledge hammer you're an idiot if you think that
Luis Ramos if you knew the cfl rules 😂 i play hs football in quebec and we have a mix of nfl and cfl and there are some shitty rules in the cfl.
@@sledgehammer4409 lol start by watching a game, before comenting, its better than college football
Many former NFL players ( including myself) have stated that any CFL team could easily beat any U.S college team. Back in the 70's and early 80's the CFL in many cases paid more than the NFL. Ask Vince Ferragamo for example. In the 70's I played for the Alouettes and was pursued by the K.C. Chiefs. I turned down the offer as I was making a lot more money in Canada. The talent level was the same. What changed was that the United States broadcast network's bought the broadcast rights to the NFL for millions ( later billions). But as far as game day experience is concerned the CFL is not only a lot more affordable, the games are much more exciting. As far as being affordable the average price for 2 premium NFL tickets including parking is $760.00. The average price for 2 premium CFL tickets including parking is $260.00.
You get a great experience for about $500.00 less.
NFL should adopt CFL rules if it was smart ...players are better overall but game is more boring in NFL
Thanks for watching!
Worries In May 2021
The difference between the NFL and the CFL is actually ho many CFL players go to jail compaired to NFL players???? It all comes down to money!!!!!!! When you have more you do more!!!!!!
what a load of crap
the CFL rules are far better than the NFL rules plus that NFL field is so damn small
The NFL Teams Will Find The CFL Teams after their Draft
CFL players make about 8 % of NFL players that's the difference to get talent
He should have stayed in the CFL and would have won more Grey Cups.
XFL is coming back in 2020. If successful, maybe CFL will come back to America too and we'll do it right this time.Honoring the rules and playing it the way it was meant to be played.
by who's description?
The CFL has a "Canadian content" rule that can't be enforced in the US so naturally any CFL team based in the US would eventually be stronger.And Canadian fans definitely wouldn't go for it.The US experiment was tried,it failed,let sleeping dogs lie!!!!
Hopefully Warren Moon can bring the CFL to the US.
We wont make that mistake again
@@shondevet2267 Exactly
I like the CFL game. Longer, faster and IMO a lot more fun.
Cfl is better than nfl
Bob Lol lol no
During June , July and August yes
@@joeldrewwaldengrounds6931 well in Canada we watch the NFL as well but usually the ratings are crap until after Grey Cup The CFL is a quicker game demanding agility often over brawn especially at the o-line positions. Less size but an ability to block the quicker backers and d-linemen .
Nfl was hating on Black QBs
He's better than Tony Romo
Jose Lopez fuck I’m conflicted
I don't understand why Canadians think that CFL teams or players could be better than or be competitive with NFL teams or players. It's not even close. The CFL are inferior to the NFL by far. People posting comments on this video keep bringing up names of former NFL players who failed in the CFL implying CFL players are just as good as NFL players. First of all, those players don't represent the entire personnel of the NFL. Secondly, guess what? Those same players were essentially fired in the NFL before they came to the CFL. So their lack of success in the CFL is meaningless to the comparative talk between the 2 leagues. And let's not bring up names from 40 or 60+ years ago as that is meaningless as well.
You do realize that there are ~17,000 players coming out of NCAA football programs every year. There are only so many professional jobs. The difference in talent between the leagues is tiny overall.
@@billbaird2273 Haha. U wish the talent is tiny. That "tiny" talent difference shows up in every play and makes a huge difference in game play, 3rd down conversions, redzone success, and in the final score. Have you watched the NFL before other than highlight reels? The NFL is a game of precision and inches. The littlest detail makes the NFL excel and execute at a much higher degree than the CFL. Things like 1 yard passing windows to WRs (CFL is like 6+ yard windows most of the time); 4.3-4.4 speed on DBs as opposed to 4.6-4.7 speed; having 34"arms on the OTs; using proper hand placements on Edges for the OTs; WRs high balling catches; WRs blocking out DBs; DBs using their jabs on man press coverages; etc. There are so many little things the NFL does that the CFL never or mostly never do. The talent is not even close between the 2 leagues. Open your eyes if u know how.
@@AL.BUNDY. This is incorrect. The talent difference does not show up in every play. I have seen as many dropped balls on what should be completions in the NFL as the CFL. Plus in the CFL you actually have to return a punt or kickoff. I have actually seen somebody call a fair catch in the NFL and drop the ball. Don't fool yourself.
@@AL.BUNDY. Plus what you are talking about requires different skill sets, on both sides of the ball. As I said 17,000 players come out of NCAA every year, a tiny fraction end up playing professional. Some even end up in Europe.
@@billbaird2273 Ya. Whatever. U are clueless. I hate debating with the clueless. Learn to analyze a game before u open ur pie hole. U have a single anecdotal memory, and you assume u know the NFL. So sad. U remind me of that Rod Petersen guy I saw on TH-cam. Absolutely clueless about the NFL, but he still makes opinions like he knows the sport. He doesn't even know the basics like most of the players, stats, formations, etc. U are so much like him. How can you say my comment is incorrect when the evidence is on TH-cam. Search CFL 40 yard dash. There is only 1 video. Go watch it. See how slow your draft class is. It's pathetic. Those CFL DBs are as slow as LBs in the NFL. Your fast LBs weigh as much as CBs in the NFL. Your fast Edge players are like 220lbs which doesn't exist in the NFL. Do you even know what an Edge player is? I give up. Successful plays in the CFL aren't even breakdown in coverage. It seems like often it is just a fundamental error like not getting proper footwork or hands on the players. There are wide open guys with 2 yards separation & the CFL QB is still holding onto the ball. Blocks aren't being picked up on blitzes. QB stepping out of the pocket when he shouldn't be. Basic fundamentals are being messed up in the CFL. U don't even know how to watch fundamental errors in the CFL. You know that there are 69 players each team (including practice squad) and there are 32 teams. That's about 2200+ players in the NFL. On a yearly basis, there is 15000+ eligible players from college. All those trash players who can't make an NFL team is what the crappy CFL picks from. And the CFL doesn't even get to recruit the best of the rejects from the NFL. Many of those players just prefer to wait in the US to try out again next year or wait for an injury phone call or just join the XFL or Arena or the other professional leagues in the US. Keep telling yourself that the NFL and CFL are the same. All it shows is ur lack of knowledge in the sport and ur stubborn propensity to argue on a subject u have no understanding. 🚽🧻🗑
nfl would beat any cfl team
Playing C.F.L rules? Not so sure about that.
History doesn't agree with you. It's lopsided but not a sweep.
clearcoat2000 Considering the NFL is 100% American (it practically is), as well as Americans making up 55%+ more of the CFL than Canadians do according to statistics from a Canadian given source in 2015, and the fact that Americans learn CFL rules better and quicker than Canadians do (again, Americans run your league based on statistics shown and demographics), I am confident knowing the NFL would win by like 100 or more to 0, if they tried. If they didn't the NFL would still win by like 70. Not to mention the Browns with third strings could easily defeat the best team to win a Grey Cup, ever, or the current defending Grey Cup champs. Google "You would be surprised where the players in the Canadian Football League come from," and it'll be a site by American football international (or similar). But yeah, won't be reading your responses. Bye.
marsneedstowels What does history tell you? Because history tells me you're referring to exhibition games from decades and decades ago in the 40s-60s, in which the NFL won all of their games vs. CFL. The CFL was only able to win 1 game against an AFL team (inferior to NFL at that time). AFL was not NFL, don't get it twisted. But I won't be reading your replies, bye.
@Sean. That depends. CFL may have a chance if the NFL teams play entirely by CFL rules. It also depends on how much time NFL players have to adjust to CFL rules as well.
the biggest difference between it is NFL is better
That's a matter of opinion. Two different games.
clearcoat2000 you're right cfl is offbrand
CFL's a different game. You guys compare games the to the size of the footballs. Its a little silly saying that's its worse compared to the NFL when the games have completely different rules and gameplay.
Hari Avtar but what you don't understand is that the CFL is terrible
+brandon gladish We have one less down, a bigger field and 20 seconds to play the ball. If CFL's not better game wise in those conditions than you are crazy.
Answer: NFL is professional. CFL not so much.
Nfl is better and always will be beret than cfl
Jeremy I've seen you on every NFL vs. CFL video, and I can honestly say you are very insecure. You are so against American things, yet your profile picture is an MLB (an American sports league, based off an American sport) team's logo, a team that has a majority of American players on it. 1) The NFL was established in 1920. The CFL was established in 1958. So the NFL is older. 2) American football rules (Walter Camp rules) were made in 1878, and made official in 1880. Canadian rules (Burnside rules) were made in 1903, but weren't fully used until the time the CFL was formed (that's another reason why American football is far older and the original tackle football). This is because the rugby union groups in Canada rejected the rules for football (because they preferred rugby), until two rugby union groups in Canada merged and made the CFL. So really, it's as if Canadian football was created in 1958 (59 years old only; 1958-2017). Neither of the two rugby union groups that merged to make the CFL, is older than the Burnside rules (that's more proof for why American football is the original tackle football). Then we have American football which has been around for 140 years, since 1880 (really since 1878; so yes, 140 years). The oldest football leagues were/still are American: NFL, Western Pennsylvania Professional Football Circuit, etc. Canadians like to act as if playing rugby before the Americans somehow "influenced the start of football." That is false. Rugby is British, not Canadian, so inform McGill in Canada and Canada as a whole that they should read a book and that they really didn't create any sports; McGill didn't make football (Canada copied American football), hockey (a copy of Shinty), or basketball (made in Massachusetts). Americans made tackle (and gridiron) football on their own, with their own discoveries, not from Canada. Rugby is not football. Rugby is not Canadian either. Get bent. In the 1820's, Dartmouth, Harvard, and Princeton all started to play their own types of football, similar to what American football is today; Princeton played "Ballown", Harvard played "Bloody Monday", and Dartmouth played "Old Division Football". Yale also started to play their own football in 1840. So really, American football is older than soccer and rugby, too. American football is almost 200 years old (1820-2017 and many more years to come). The NFL is older. American football is older. Youth Sports/Leagues here are older too. Deal with it. Look up Princeton vs. Rutgers 1869. Baseball was made in 1845, in New York, USA. People in Canada don't have proper evidence for why they think baseball is Canadian. Canada played cricket back then, not baseball. They didn't even play rounders in Canada, they played CRICKET (another sport from Britain). But anyway, rounders isn't baseball either. Lacrosse was made by Native Americans in what is modern day USA, not Canada. Stop stealing ideas. #UnoriginalCanadians
Jeremy The first official Grey Cup occurred in 1958, because that's when actual Canadian football was basically invented (CFL 1958). So there haven't been "104" Grey Cups. There have been around less than 59 legitimate Grey Cups. The NFL title system has been claiming champions since 1920 (Standings, NFL Championship, and Super Bowl, all combined). The NFL title system is older (Standings, NFL Championship, and Super Bowl, all combined). Before 1958, Canadians were playing "Grey Cups" with amateur rugby clubs, and you can find that information online. Not to mention the first paid/pro football leagues/games/players came from the USA in the late 1800s. Walter Camp made the line of scrimmage, the snap, the forward pass, and the down system, as well as the touchdown, and etc, etc, etc. biletnikoffaward.com/fredbiletnikoff An American also threw the first legal forward pass in 1906; he was named Bradbury Robinson. Canadian football didn't allow the use of the forward pass until 1929. Canada didn't even make the the touchdown worth 6 points, until 1958. But the Americans have been using the 6-point touchdown since 1912 (yet another reason for why American football is older). Also, the NCAA and American College Football overall are far older than the CIS/U Sports. The new "U Sports" logo and look are a copy of ESPN U's logo and look. The CFL even admits they copied the NFL, on their own CFL history page. It has also been proved that the Burnside rules of Canada are a copy of the Walter Camp rules (American rules). *I won't be reading your replies, because this isn't my main account. Have fun knowing you'll be replying to a side account, that won't read anything you send back. I'm right. I'm signing out of TH-cam, bye.*
It's a different game.
and will always be "beret"....I hope it was a strawberry beret..
@@gsports629 All due respect, but your understanding of the history of gridiron football has many important omissions. Both American and Canadian Football are derivative from British Rugby Football. So, by your metric, American Football is really just a stolen British idea? Moreover, the Grey Cup was commissioned in 1909 and predates the founding of the CFL and the NFL. You are a total blowhard with a complete lack of facts to backup your ignorant tirades on here. Delete your account.
I live in Toronto...I hate the Canadian "5 yard space" rule on punt returns....So many friggin penalties for " no yards" ... You punt the ball, then you fly down there as fast as you can but you're supposed to somehow judge giving the punt returner a 5 yard cushion while running full speed. However, one rule i love in Canadian footbal is the "onside punt" ... Very exciting play. As long as a player is parallel or behind the punter he can actually catch the punt. You put a guy in motion and let your punter pooch it towards the sidelines...The wide receiver or RB runs full speed and doesn't have to give 5 yards. You can even have your QB punt it on 1st or 2nd down in shotgun formation. Catch your oponent off guard.
how can you prefer the horrible fair catch over the 5 yard rule?? Even worse, the NFL receiver doesn't even have to catch it. He can just start walking off the field and let the ball roll around to a stop. How exciting is that?? With the 5 yard rule, some players will just tackle the guy because it is only a 5 yard penalty, if he has picked the ball up off the ground or a bounce, so if the receiver is a very good one, the penalty is worth it. The only hefty penalty is if you hit him if he is catching the ball in the air. Then it is 15 yards. What's to hate??
John Morrison Agreed. The 5 yard rule is so stupid.
how can ANYONE think a fair catch is more exciting??? You are drinking the KoolAid if you do. Who cares if there is a flag. It is only a 5 yard penalty if you hit the guy after the ball has bounced, and a lot of teams will just hit the guy to prevent a big return if it is a good return man. Not a big deal. You should actually watch and learn the game.
John Morrison i don't think a fair catch is more exciting. I just think it's a better rule. Less sloppy.
the only thing you should be interested in when watching a game is entertainment. Fair catch- or no catch, which is the case most of the time has ZERO entertainment value. I'd rather watch the more exciting plays, where there is ALWAYS a good chance of a punt return.
The fair catch rule is an abomination!
I live in Toronto, played football my whole childhood... i think the 5 yard rule is an abomination. But i do love the Canadian onside punt rule.
I like the no yards rule. It allows for more punt returns, which are more exciting. Although the penalty should be 10 yards instead of 5, when the ball hits the ground. Too many times they don't seem to care about giving 5 yards and just make the tackle to avoid a return. 15 yards is a good penalty for when the ball is caught.
Laxer3760PlaysMC,
"nfl would beat any cfl team"
Perhaps you are correct. However, as the differences between the two games, as presented by Warren Moon, are considerable, they preclude the playing of any game between the two leagues your opinion will remain just that, your opinion.
As for entertainment value for your money, the CFL is light years ahead.
Lol u wish
Faster pace doesn't mean a better game because last time I checked hockey is way more popular than the cfl and is a slower pace game
You know the nfl did play the cfl once....and lost. Google it.
@@giantsfan8872 have you ever watched a cfl game
The average ticket price for 2 premium NFL tickets is $770.00 not including parking ( $75.00). The average ticket price for 2 premium CFL tickets is $250.00 parking is free. I would say that the CFL is light years ahead of the NFL also.
