I like 11 players and a smaller ball, but I also like a bigger field and bigger endzones.
I LOVE Rouges and the crazy kicking rules that the CFL has, but I also love that the uprights at the end of the endzone and that you aren't allowed to run up to the line, in the NFL.
Basically, I like the rules of both sports lol.
CFL is crazy and fun to watch, but 3 downs makes for less-offense and less running (normally), which doesn't necessarily mean more defense either; it is an infinitely harder game, IMO than the NFL, despite the core rules and platform, being the same.
Thus, I would have no issues making the rules universal, but it would have to be a hybrid and not one or the other; so Grey (absolutely pun intended) and not Black or White.
I'm also a fan of the bigger size, in the NFL; Dunlap would typically be a NT in the CFL at his size and arguably the best C in league history, was 6'2, 290; not significantly smaller, but would definitely get eaten up in the NFL.
How Matt O'Donnell has lasted this long at this high a level, I have no clue: I guess he truly is an outstanding athlete, 'cause he would be the biggest player in NFL history, had he stuck on our roster.
I agree that the differences are what make things interesting. I was actually liking some of the rule differences I was seeing in the XFL, in it's short stint, this Spring. They got purchased, so hopefully they make another go at it.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
