    I have heard that the officials in the CFL are a lot worse than the NFL. Their fans are pretty happy about this.

    WTF do we need this for? Just get the damn NFL to provide insurance coverage to lens crafters. Problem solved.

    .. instead of borrowing CFL officials who are used to different rules, why doesn't the NFL train the ones they have or find new competent officials and train them as well?

    The NFL isn't borrowing any CFL officials. Re-read the release.

    NFL officials will go up to Canada in June-July to officiate games and get practice. In exchange, CFL officials will be allowed to apply to become NFL officials and may have an advantage in the hiring process. But CFL officials will still go through NFL training before they ever set foot on an NFL field.

    So, NFL officials having to learn and forget a bunch of new rules all the time... Isn't not knowing the rules and applying them correctly the problem already?!

    It's sad when I know the rules better than half the refs, you can download an updated NFL rulebook fairly easily every year so I keep up with the rules, half the penalties called aren't even close to being penalties
