Pandora's Box may have been opened

The CFL is now allowing DPI to be reviewed. Both flagged and unflagged plays are up for review if a coach wants to challenge the play.

I note they have no US broadcast partner again.  NBCSN carried a few games last summer.  I would much rather the NFL Network carry CFL games instead of "The Most Stupendously 100 Top Players of 2010" or "The Top 10 On Field Streaking Incidents".

I like the CFL, at least to fill the void.  It is more like football than the Arena League.

No interest in the CFL = no broadcast partner. It's a lot cheaper to televise recorded junk over and over than it is to broadcast a live game. How they can justify interest in the junk, however, is anybody's guess.

If they were having to produce it yes, but all they would have to do is pick up the TSN feed and re-transmit.  That is essentially what they will do for Thursday Night Football with CBS this fall.  I assume they will have to produce their own pre-, halftime, and post- programs when they carry the games.

They don't get that feed for free.
