I have to dissagree with leeder, In the US at the College and pro level, the game is much more intense. Mostly because the level of talent and the Stakes are much higher. I really enjoy strong play on the line in Football. Because of the wider field, three downs and inadequate funds to pay a lineman a good living, the Canadian game really suffers in this respect. The US game is an intense battle of wits the Canadian game is basically, keep passing til you lose the ball.

The games are not so different, Doug Flutie can and has played well in the NFL as has others such as Warren Moon and Joe Theisman. The NFL has tried to open up the game without abandoning its roots and the legacies of the old running teams of years gone by. But the good passing team of the NFL, The Ram's, the 49ers etc, do not have anything to learn from their underpaid cousins to the North.

BTW I am Canadian and have followed both leagues.
