And is it possible to get CFL on ESPN in the US?

I love the CFL for it's wide open play and crazy finishes to games. More kicks get run back and long pass plays happen more frequently because of the larger field.
I find the NFL to be stiff and rigidly structured like some sort of military campaign. I have to admit as the more NFL teams start to move towards a more pass oriented offense in the NFL, the game shave been more exciting but, I still enjoy the CFL games more.
I know ESPN used to carry CFL games but, not sure if they still do. Even up to a few years ago they would show the Grey Cup game (although it was tape delayed). Not sure if they still do or not but since ESPN owns TSN in Canada and TSN has total TV rights for the CFL next year, there may be more games made available in the US next season.

Talk about a skewed question! You don’t really want an answer, you just want to pretend you know you what you’re talking about while bashing the CFL. Here’s the answer to your question: I think the CFL would win playing by CFL rules, and the NFL would win playing NFL rules. There is so much difference in the games that your simple mix and match just shows how little you know about the CFL. The NFL has bigger budgets and more hype, and I guess if you can't see past that and appreciate the game, then you'll pick the NFL every time. I've seen both many games from both leagues many times, but I'd bet many of the CFL bashers answering your "question" have never really given it a serious look.

CFL!!!! The CFL is fast paced and more exciting than the NFL game. For example in the NFL there are fair catches on punts and most of the time they are not returned. Who wants to see a kick without a return. In the CFL all the kicks are returned and there is the no yards rule on punts. Also personally if you are a fan of an NFL team it is likely that your team will go 20....30...40 or more years without winning a championship and in some cases without even making it to the big game. I am an Argos fan and I was born in 1991 the team I love has already won 4 times in my lifetime. No NFL team has matched this.

NFL is better because of more killer hits BUT having said that the CFL is a far more exciting game if you like offence and close games.
It depends on what you want to watch. I like both so it's not really an issue.

NFL, the most exciting thing that happened in the CFL this year was the lightening storm in Regina during the Eskimo game

CFL, because I said so.
(If I had a dollar for every time this question gets asked here, I could buy me a ticket to the Grey Cup!)

It is really hard to compare the games as they are very different. Some like the CFL as it is generally higher scoring. But I don't think anybody can really do any justice to either game trying to compare the two.
I don't believe any regular station carries games in the U.S. but I think I heard a rumor that the playoff games will be. What channel sorry I can't tell you.

They are both great.
CFL is great because: Close games, big plays.
NFL is great because: The hype on game day and the tailgating.
