MERGING THE NFL AND CFL

How would you handle the merging of the NFL and CFL? FOR THE GIVEAWAY YOU CAN ALSO MESSAGE ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA (linked in my channel bio)

I firmly believe that NFL players playing on a CFL sized field with CFL rules would be the greatest thing to ever happen to the game of football

Don't take any flack for calling the Jets and Giants New York teams. They are, they play literally within sight of NYC and are ONLY in New Jersey because New York refused to build them a stadium(s) when they wanted to stay. Oddly enough we're building a stadium for the Bills now. BTW San Fransico plays in Santa Clara ... about 50 miles away from San Francisco. So, it's best to just ignore the semantic jibber jabber of people that complain about things like this.

It would be fun to explore the rules of this new league. The field size, do we keep the single point? How many downs? The open field kicking rules, how many man in motions? I think it deserves another video!!!

Don't discount the rivalry between Arizona and Dallas. Prior to being moved to the NFC West the Cards played the majority of their years as members of the NFC East (in St. Louis and Phoenix) and thus played the Cowboys twice a year for many, many years.

I've been living in Canada for a bit in Ottawa (which is in Ontario too). From what I can see its probably the Blue Bombers and Roughriders who are the most passionate and have the biggest rivalry imo. Also two teams with the same name is honestly not as big an issue as you think. Before they were the RedBlacks Ottawa were called the Rough Riders so it'd probably just be a thing where people would clarify the city more than the nickname. Option 2 is also way better tbf. You could do something like the Dominion and Republic Conferences or something to give a hint at both. It'd be funny to see how they'd merge the rules in this situation because both sides are gonna hate it lol.

i liked the concept and the division line ups in the second concept but i think the easiest solution would be just keeping the conferences the way they are both in US and Canada while adding the 10th team in Canada and just add the eastern and western conferences to the AFC and NFC respectively, calling them AFC/NFC Canada.

The problem is all the CFL players would be let go as soon as the merger happened. There would really be no value in it for the NFL as there is just to large a disparity with talent.

I like the 2nd concept a lot. Only Change I would make would be swapping g the colts and browns. The AFC north is very competitive with each other and close geographically so it makes sense to keep them together

Great idea, only one change I would make. I feel like you have to have Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo all in the same division. That would be some intense city rivalries

I liked your idea and video. The NFL has plans to expand into Mexico and Europe, so imagine how that would add to your concept! I’d like to see how the CFL and NFL would blend their rules and regulations. You’ve got me thinking now. I subscribed to your channel, so I’m looking forward to more content from you!

😊I hope they don’t merge. But I do hope that NFL and CFL teams play exhibition games and all star games against each other.

Instead of an East-West latitude alignment, you'd bet better off with a North-South longitudinal alignment for the divisions. That way teams stay in their own time zones mostly, making it easier on travel. e.g. West BC Seattle LA Chargers LA Rams SF 49ers Las Vegas

Back around 1983 or ‘84, when I was in, oh, ninth grade I think, I came up with a merger of the CFL and USFL, plus I threw in a couple of WFL and concept teams to bring it up to 28 teams, then split into Eastern and Western Conferences. I even drew helmets with a template, and had some fun with it for a few years. I resurrected the idea later on with a few other teams, like the Baltimore Stallions.

Once again great video, you obviously did a good amount of research. My only thought might be getting rid of the conferences and just having 7 divisions of 6 teams. that way you can make it more regional. Like adding BC and Seattle to the 49ers, that way you don't lose the 49ers-Seahawks rivalry but can also grow the Seattle BC at the same time. Also if may allow you to place all the NY and Ontario teams in the same division on the east

This was entertaining. Also love you mention my town of Moncton New Brunswick!

Unfortunately, I think it is more likely that the NFL will have a pro team in Europe before they have one in Canada

As a Canadain Football Player/Coach. And a fan of the NFL. I've said that the NFL needs to "Adapt" some of the CFL Rules. Rules the NFL should Adapt from the CFL: Allow for Players in Motion like CFL - This Eliminates "Ilegal Procedure" Flag Abuse Move the NFL Kickoff Line 10-15 Yd back and force the Return Team to actually return the ball - Makes Kicker's Pay actually worth the power of their Leg Strength Remove the "Fair Catch" Rule and put in the 5yd Buffer Rule instead.

Great video, first one I've seen but I'm an NFL fan too, so you definitely earned my subscribe!

I came up with a similar merger concept of the two leagues before. I brought back the central division and created a maritime division (mainly because I too threw in the Atlantic schooners team to roughly round out the league as even as possible.)
