besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog Send a noteboard - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM
NFL europe is, as i understand it, basically a minor league compared to the american NFL (which founded NFL europe, hence the name ;) ). and as much as i would love to see an NFL/CFL championship game, i'm pretty sure it would be logistically impossible to pull off the event. and arena football is a totally different game compared to its bigger brother, although its fast pace lends itself to more exciting games when the teams are evenly matched.

and at the heart of it, i think that's the crux of the situation: NFL teams would not be evenly matched with their counterparts in other leagues. just like NBA players far outmatch their european counterparts, although this is becoming less true with the advent of european players coming into the NBA.
