There are rules that the NFL teams don't usually use such as the QB kicking for the extra point after the touchdown. I believe it was Brett Favre that has kept that rule alive.
@@NathanJakobMichaelThomas Yes, you can drop kick almost anything - including PATs, FGs and even kickoffs or safety kicks. Doug Flutie made a PAT in (essentially) his last play of his career and it was kind of described as a retirement present from Belichick.
@@florian111295 drop kicks have remained legal but became very rare after the shape of the football changed, about 90 years ago if memory serves. When Flutie made that drop kick PAT, it was the first successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941. A drop kick is much easier with the rounder rugby ball, its bounce is more predictable.
4 out of 5 right and I'm from Finland and familiar with both American and Canadian football. In my eyes there are both not insane sports. Just sports with slighty different rules. I'm sure we have that sport in our contry that we follow. Then we watch something that is different and call it crazy, instead of seeing it as different and trying to understand the sead sport. Same thinking can be aplied to food. If you go to foreign country and eat a food that you have never seen. Are you going by look if it and say "I'm not eating that because it looks so foreign", or try it because it's different? Had a friend go over America to watch NFL playoff game live (forgot what the game was). He coud along with few friends coud not understand the gameplay at all. It was foreign to them, these people with Ice Hockey association football (soccer) and Finish Baseball (Pesäpallo) understanding did not understand Griddon. Because it was foreign to them and did not know the rules... Myself I have allways tried to know the rules and history of the game. Both American and Canadian football codes came from Rugby Union. Canadian one was there 1st, but American one evolved more while Canadian one has more Rugby rules on them. Rules that Americans changed more. That's why we have two different Griddon codes... Football... Association football, Rugby Union, Rugby League, American Football, Canadian Football, Aussie Rules Football, Gaelic Football. All different sports, take one fan from one sport and drop it to a another one. What is going to happen? The fan will not understand it and prefer there sport. Calling the other sport insane... When in the end, it is lack of understanding... So people, understand the sport before judging it. Nothing in the end is insane. It is just lack of knowledge.
Nice references to Aussie Rules and Gaelic football, totally different from rugby and gridiron. There is also an "international rules" football which mixes aspects of both of these codes.

Nothing to do with football but I just discovered Pesapallo no so long ago and watched some games. Still a lot to learn. Do you know where can I get the rules in English? Or is there a way to see more games live? I have seen some from years ago, but I want to see the current tournament
As a CFL fan, this was too easy. Of course PI applies on all forward passes, and the punter recovering the ball is the same as the onside guy recovering. Pretty easy, I thought you'd pluck out some arcane, almost never seen rules. Great league!
FivePoints Vids first love how you check you comments and also ya if u did this with the mls is would have no clue for any of it I don’t watch soccer but since I am a football loving Canadian I watch a lot of cfl football and could name every team currently in the league and also mention how Baltimore played two seasons made the championship twice one it once and how Ottawa where once called the rough rider at the same time Saskatchewan was the Roughriders
If you wanted to do the latter, you'd highlight the differences in the rules on snapping the ball. In American rules, the snap doesn't have to go between the snapper's legs; in Canadian rules it does. In American rules, the ball has to leave the snapper's hands immediately at the end of the action; in Canadian rules, it doesn't. This allows for some trick plays that are legal in American but not Canadian football and some that are legal in Canadian but not American football.
@@AccidentallyDecent when our cable system added ESPN about 40 years ago, the CFL was one of its featured sports. I remember being baffled that a 9 team league had 2 teams with practically the same name.
Ayyye CFL videos, We need more of these, This is the first year i've been getting into football and I'd love to see more people talk about the CFL, it's really cool
I am from Toronto and I remember watching that game that you showed at the end and at that moment I asked my dad who is a long time CFL fan "Wait they can do that"
I watch the NFL occasionally but every time there is a kick and the receiver signals fair catch or worse yet just lets it roll to a stop I have to stop watching. The NFL kicking game ruins it for me. Fair catch = "I promise not to run if you promise not to hit me". Why even bother. NFL would be better if the kicking game was revamped. The 5yard rule in the CFL works great and keeps kicking and returns as an exciting part of the game.
I got a lot of these right because I live in England and grew up playing Rugby Union. Canadian football seems to be halfway between Rugby Union and American Football
As far as I can tell, the rugby-style chip-and-chase would be legal, although I have never seen it. Now that Canadian football uses the pointer American balls, which make forward passes easier, chipping and dribbling are too unereliable to be a viable strategy.
I got them all right. For CFL fans, these are pretty easy tbh, but I get you're making a video for a subscriber base that probably doesn't know too much about the CFL.
As a Canadian CFL fan I got all of these right but that's not surprising I guess. Also Johnny Football played for the Montreal Alouettes you mentioned in the last riddle but was released by order of the league for reasons that were never disclosed. Thank you for the great video!
That kicking play was glorious to watch I remember that, returning kicks is such an important aspect of the Canadian game there are several kick/punt returns TD's every year in the CFL, but in the NFL kick returning is dying its kind of sad Devin Hester and Cordarelle Patterson are some of my favorite players
So...I live on the US border with Mexico, had 0 idea about Canadian football, and somehow got 3 right. Now...I’m really interested in Canadian football. Oh no...am I becoming a hoser?
RZFL Sports- Teenymates and OYO yeah I feel you, I just started to go school in Pennsylvania this year and I’m keeping up with the Argos while I’m here
As a Canadian I knew all of those, and am kind of shocked the NFL doesn't have onside kicks for punts too (or DPI behind the line for that matter)... I know they're missing the Rouge, but wow, this is further evidence for why the CFL game is more entertaining to watch than the NFL game! Edit - As you were describing the last play, I was remembering that exact game! Kick-outs are quite possibly the most exciting play in pro football!
Yes Canada actually had a lot of influence on the american game when mcgill played princeton. Mcgill went back and played canadian football and the americans liked their own modified version.
Great video! I live in Saskatchewan Canada, henceforth a big CFL fan and of course a Saskatchewan roughrider fan, this missed field goal being kicked back and forth situation also happened in the 1972 Western final playoff game between Winnipeg and Saskatchewan roughriders on the final play of the game-sending Saskatchewan to the Grey Cup game, ( missed field goal - kicked out of the end zone, picked up by the holder who was Ron Lanchaster the QB - went to kick it back in but was immediately tackled ) game over right? Wrong! In the CFL you have to give 5 yards to the receiver on any kick , even a chaotic back and forth missed field goal episode- thus Winnipeg is penalized for not giving the 5 yards, Saskatchewan gets another crack at the field goal and wins the game! I love the CFL!
To be fair nobody actually knows what passed interference is in the CFL, that's why they let coaches challenge penalties, keep everyone confused and guessing.
It's the Grey Cup today! If any American wants to see what Canadian football looks like in a live game. It's not that complicated and it's the championship game.
Qualified Canadian here, I even play Canadian highschool football and won my provinces provincial championship last year. Q1: no. (Correct) Q2: it is a td but I’ve never seen or heard of a play like that off of a kickoff (correct for first part) Q3: yes (correct) Q4: B (correct) Q5: A (Correct) My bantam team had a play like this we used on long second downs where we would punt but the punter would barely be behind the line of scrimmage so we would surprise our opponents and have like 3 onside players (behind the punter) so they could play the ball. We scored a TD with it once (against the second worst team in our league), but our punter also once nailed our centre in the head, which was a penalty because he wasn’t onside and touched the ball before the opposing team. Q6: A (I think this happened in the CFL before where the two teams punted at each other a bunch I remember seeing it on a video somewhere) (Correct) Another weird CFL rule that you didn’t include is tandem buck, which is where you get a penalty if you push one of your teammates carrying the ball and I only know it because I got called for it last year in our first game and it’s stupid and I hate it
I'm a United Statesian who has watched Canadian Football occasionally for close to 50 years. It still freaks my eyes out every time I see the 55 yard line. It goes against our socialization. That and the rules differences are what make watching the CFL so fun.
Given the fact that any player behind the kicker is onside in CFL, a box kick (technique from rugby) would be a very useful and legitimate tactic. I felt quite pleased, I only got one of these wrong. The kicking rules in CFL are very similar to rugby.
You would think so, but you never see it. The problem is that turnovers are a bigger disadvantage in football, so it would have to be a very particular set of circumstances--and because they are so rare, I doubt that anyone trains for it.
My fav play that Winnipeg pulled off a few times over 10 years ago. They would go for a long FG and purposely short it to one side of the field. So while everyone is paying attention to the kicker cause he's onside and can recover the ball. The other team failed to notice that they also put another player onside, so he'd come in and bat the ball out of bounds inside the 10 yard line. It was pretty creative and haven't seen it done since. Just love the quick kicks when players are on side.
#5 - I watched that one on another UA-cam video about crazy finish plays. I got 3 of them right! The CFL is gaining some momentum in Texas. I've been hearing people talk about it and even saw a game playing in a pizza restaurant featuring the Hamilton Tiger-cats, Johnny Manziel's team.
FivePoints Vids Jeremiah Massoli is fucking his CFL dreams in the ass right now. Hasn't played a single game 4 games in, they're on a bye week right now, they play the Saskatchewan Roughriders next Thursday. I would imagine it will be on ESPN2 if you're interested.
I got them all, but that's because I am Canadian and watch every game. 4:25 If the receiving team doesn't pick up the ball, the kicker can get there first and recover it, as can any player of that team that was onside (behind the kicker when ball was kicked).
Is being Canadian considered a performance enhancing drug for this quiz? Got em all right, no problem. The CFL is a shitshow but that's what makes it great, it feels like every rule is designed to maximize chaos. Its the Mario Party of professional sports.
Beautiful! Americans get introduced to exiting Football. Maybe you also should explain time management inside the last three minutes of a game. But that might be too much to understand at once!
I’m glad I stumbled on your channel. Your vids are very entertaining. For us rugby heads down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the cfl is like that intermediary between rugby and afl. I can understand cfl, I don’t need to have a drink, but that always helps.
Good video...big fan of my home country's version of professional football....so this was fun! And I love it when players and coaches are so studious of the rules, especially these more obscure ones, that they utilize their knowledge to the advantage of their respective teams! It does make the game more interesting. I got most of the quiz correct but was unsure on a couple of points. Nice digging!
1. No 2a. Onside punt 2b. Yes 3. Yes. Since flankers and slotbacks take a running start at the snap, they're usually 10 yards downfield in under a second. Because of this, bump'n'rub is impossible because the already-at-top-speed slotback or flanker would leave them in their dust. As a result, the defence doesn't really benefit from having a zone for legal contact so to reduce injury, the CFL makes contact like that illegal at all times. Take heart though, pitch-out runs are quite rare because you only have three downs to make ten yards, not four. 4. No yards penalty of ten yards. There is no fair catch in the CFL so the kicking team MUST stay 5yds or more away from the ball until it's touched by the opposing side or they'll be penalised. 5. Touchdown, kicking team. The punter and anyone beside or behind him when he kicks is considered onside and may recover the ball without the opposition touching it. This is similar to question #2. This is an onside punt. 6. HAHAHAHAHA!! I saw the game you're referring to. It was Alouettes at Argonauts in 2010. The game was tied 30-30 and Montreal missed the FG to win with no time left. The Torontp kicker at the time, Noel Prefontaine stopped it at the back of the end zone and punted it right back to Als kicker, Damon Duval. Duval put it back deep in the end zone and Noel's second return kick attempt was blocked. The Als recovered it in the end zone and so beat the Argos by a TD.
I got them all right but I'm Canadian and a hardcore CFL fan :) GREAT VIDEO! Here's one more you might not know: After a touchdown, when the scoring team attempts a convert (either kicking for 1 or throwing for 2), if the ball is intercepted, the play is NOT DEAD. The intercepting team can run the ball back! This happened at least once in my memory - a two-point convert was intercepted and run back to the opposing endzone. Result? The intercepting team got TWO POINTS (and won the game by one point)
C: we both don’t know we take another shot C: we took too many shots C: we die of alcohol poisoning How are these wrong all of them are the perfect answer for anything especially the last one when your wife asks you to go shopping for cloths
Kinda like Rugby vs Rugby League - two sports that look similar on the surface but in fact have significant differences. I got three of these right (including the stumper), but only because of my Rugby / Rugby League background. Seems there is a lot more Rugby in CFL than I realised.
Paulie Jay if I remember correctly, I swear I read somewhere that Canadian football took a lot of rules from rugby. And that the Americans then modified some of those rules and made American football.
@@ngarcia103 Actually the Americans got the rules directly from the Rugby Football Union, while the Canadians got them before the RFU formed and standardized rugby. Canadians then kept modifying their game by adopting American rules over time.
you actually got the punt/no yards rule wrong... the receiving team must field the ball and can't let it lay on the ground for a dead ball call.... as the kicking team punter can legally recover the ball and is for sure heading down field for exactly that purpose
Origins of Canadian Football: A drunk Canadian moose, who happened to be a fan of Rugby, and American Football, was watching Arena Football, one night... The drunk moose thought to himself, "why doesn't Canadia maked it's own form of fooseball, eh?!" *insert montage of drunk moose pounding down five cases of Molsons while writing down the rules to the CFL* After this, Dudley Do-Right signed the bill into law, and he freed Quebec... Umm... What was I talking about?
Better yet, in the CFL, there are kick and punt returns all game long. NFL screwed up when they killed returns. Now AAF has gotten rid of kicks altogether.
players on the punting team --usually only the punter--that are back with the punter--are onside --and dont have to give the required 5 yards to the returner.
Wow this is great, CFL seems to have retained a lot of the rugby rules, field is same size as rugby pitch, offside rulings for kicker and field kicks etc. Much easier for rugby peeps to understand!
Bring back the American CFL teams..Baltimore, Memphis, Las Vegas, Shreveport, Sacramento, San Antonio. Maybe CFL will expand again to pick up the teams from the two new US spring leagues after they fold.
Doug Flutie always said, the favorite quirky CFL rules play he wished he could have been part of but never saw, was in a 1-2 pt game when behind and no time on clock, to complete a pass to a receiver downfield, who then turns around and drop kicks the ball thru the goal posts for the winning 3 pts.
When receivers move in motion before the snap it's called the waggle ( yes I know it's a silly word), though one receiver is not allowed to move, and he is called the end, and must be on the line of scrimmage, if there is no end, or the end moves it is a penalty called "no end".
I actually like the cfl over the nfl. Because there are less of those really dumb exceptions that could completely turn the tides on a game just from one obscure rule. Edit: Also CATCHING the ball isn't a bunch of stupid exceptions
MCmudkip p watching a cfl game live is also much more fun because of the fact that there are only 3 downs and teams start chucking deep passes down the field way more often.
Yah my biggest pet peeve of the NFL is the punting and fair catch rule. Fair catch is a cop out and super annoying cause nothing happens on that play and just wastes the viewer's time. Also punting is a dead ball play which I find really weird cause the kicking team can never touch it without it being blown dead. In the CFL it is a live ball play, both sides can touch it, and the kicking team can pick it up and run it into an endzone for a touchdown, but if he wasn't onside it's a penalty and the receiving team gets it making the game more fluid and similar to actual football compared to making a completely different game for kicks vs the rest of the game.
@@Rindiculousfun I understand your problem with the fair catch, but with such a small field and little running room at times, sometimes it's just better to get a fair shot at catching the ball, rather than letting the other team decide where you start. The no-fair-catch policy is simply a result of having more field and getting that 5 year buffer to try and do something with it. In the right hands, it's a return touchdown (hello Brandon Banks!), but in the wrong hands and you might as well concede a 2-point safety rather than a 6 point touchdown.
American football basically went through way more of an evolution from rugby and Canadian football stayed more true to its rugby roots
There are rules that the NFL teams don't usually use such as the QB kicking for the extra point after the touchdown. I believe it was Brett Favre that has kept that rule alive.
Doug Flutie was the first player in the modern era to score a convert on a drop kick.
Rene Gauthier can you drop kick field goals?
@@NathanJakobMichaelThomas Yes, you can drop kick almost anything - including PATs, FGs and even kickoffs or safety kicks. Doug Flutie made a PAT in (essentially) his last play of his career and it was kind of described as a retirement present from Belichick.

As a Canadian this was gold to watch lol got 4/6 and some of them even had me hella confused. Great video.
agreed
likewise i am a canadian and had the same score. and i dont even watch the cfl. XD
Also Canadian and I got the same score, I love how confused Americans gets by our football hahaha
Another canadian, all correct, guessed on 2 of them though
I watched that Montreal-Toronto game live and laughed my ass off at how ridiculous it was. God bless the CFL
As an American, I think Canadian football should be shown more often here. So entertaining
4 out of 5 right and I'm from Finland and familiar with both American and Canadian football.
In my eyes there are both not insane sports. Just sports with slighty different rules.
I'm sure we have that sport in our contry that we follow. Then we watch something that is different and call it crazy, instead of seeing it as different and trying to understand the sead sport.
Same thinking can be aplied to food. If you go to foreign country and eat a food that you have never seen. Are you going by look if it and say "I'm not eating that because it looks so foreign", or try it because it's different?
Had a friend go over America to watch NFL playoff game live (forgot what the game was). He coud along with few friends coud not understand the gameplay at all. It was foreign to them, these people with Ice Hockey
association football (soccer) and Finish Baseball (Pesäpallo) understanding did not understand Griddon. Because it was foreign to them and did not know the rules...
Myself I have allways tried to know the rules and history of the game. Both American and Canadian football codes came from Rugby Union. Canadian one was there 1st, but American one evolved more while Canadian one has more Rugby rules on them. Rules that Americans changed more. That's why we have two different Griddon codes...
Football... Association football, Rugby Union, Rugby League, American Football, Canadian Football, Aussie Rules Football, Gaelic Football. All different sports, take one fan from one sport and drop it to a another one. What is going to happen? The fan will not understand it and prefer there sport. Calling the other sport insane... When in the end, it is lack of understanding...
So people, understand the sport before judging it. Nothing in the end is insane. It is just lack of knowledge.

I think a “single” is actually called a “rouge”
It can be called both
You are correct my friend
The official name is a ROUGE, but for the sake of our fans south of the border, we call it a single as that is something they would understand
It is
IT was but to Americanising of the game most rugby terms were eliminated
touch became out of bounds

FivePoints Vids yeah. But you haven’t done one
Exactly
basically:
cfl uses a full-size field.
cfl does not use extra downs.
@@vladtepes97 .... and the WORST rule in the NFL that the CFL laughs at ..... FAIR CATCH, DON"T HIT ME!
#2 is also a rugby thing. The Onside rules are pretty much the same, and many rugby teams design first phase plays around it.
I got a lot of these right because I live in England and grew up playing Rugby Union. Canadian football seems to be halfway between Rugby Union and American Football
5/6 As an Australian this game seems very initiative, didn't know about the neutral zone on kicks. The CFL seems to make a lot more sense then NFL.
Probably because the American game has moved farther away from rugby than the Canadian game has.

Another weird CFL rule that you didn’t include is tandem buck, which is where you get a penalty if you push one of your teammates carrying the ball and I only know it because I got called for it last year in our first game and it’s stupid and I hate it
LOL on the tandem buck !!!
CFL actually looks really cool
I'm a United Statesian who has watched Canadian Football occasionally for close to 50 years. It still freaks my eyes out every time I see the 55 yard line. It goes against our socialization. That and the rules differences are what make watching the CFL so fun.
Given the fact that any player behind the kicker is onside in CFL, a box kick (technique from rugby) would be a very useful and legitimate tactic. I felt quite pleased, I only got one of these wrong. The kicking rules in CFL are very similar to rugby.
You would think so, but you never see it. The problem is that turnovers are a bigger disadvantage in football, so it would have to be a very particular set of circumstances--and because they are so rare, I doubt that anyone trains for it.
My fav play that Winnipeg pulled off a few times over 10 years ago.
They would go for a long FG and purposely short it to one side of the field. So while everyone is paying attention to the kicker cause he's onside and can recover the ball. The other team failed to notice that they also put another player onside, so he'd come in and bat the ball out of bounds inside the 10 yard line.
It was pretty creative and haven't seen it done since.
Just love the quick kicks when players are on side.
#5 - I watched that one on another UA-cam video about crazy finish plays. I got 3 of them right!
The CFL is gaining some momentum in Texas. I've been hearing people talk about it and even saw a game playing in a pizza restaurant featuring the Hamilton Tiger-cats, Johnny Manziel's team.
How well did he do?
He didn't play in that game. As of today, I don't think he has played yet.
FivePoints Vids Jeremiah Massoli is fucking his CFL dreams in the ass right now. Hasn't played a single game 4 games in, they're on a bye week right now, they play the Saskatchewan Roughriders next Thursday. I would imagine it will be on ESPN2 if you're interested.
You should catch a Calgary Stampeders game if you can. Our QB is a texas boy. Bo Levi Mitchel, he has a career record of 60-12 right now.
MrProPoutine Yeah Bo Levi is shredding the league, until he gets to the grey cup that is
I got them all, but that's because I am Canadian and watch every game.
4:25 If the receiving team doesn't pick up the ball, the kicker can get there first and recover it, as can any player of that team that was onside (behind the kicker when ball was kicked).
Please tell me you aren’t an Argos fan.
Riders. :-)
Even worse.
CFL is an awesome league
As a HUGE CFL fan I appreciated this video. 👍
"iT's cOmInG hOmE"
Is being Canadian considered a performance enhancing drug for this quiz? Got em all right, no problem. The CFL is a shitshow but that's what makes it great, it feels like every rule is designed to maximize chaos. Its the Mario Party of professional sports.
cheater!
Beautiful! Americans get introduced to exiting Football. Maybe you also should explain time management inside the last three minutes of a game. But that might be too much to understand at once!
This is like backyard football between kids ages 6-10. Kinda looked like a fun confusing though, not like fucking cricket, or soccer
My brain hurts from that.
I’m glad I stumbled on your channel. Your vids are very entertaining.
For us rugby heads down here in the Southern Hemisphere, the cfl is like that intermediary between rugby and afl. I can understand cfl, I don’t need to have a drink, but that always helps.
Good video...big fan of my home country's version of professional football....so this was fun! And I love it when players and coaches are so studious of the rules, especially these more obscure ones, that they utilize their knowledge to the advantage of their respective teams! It does make the game more interesting. I got most of the quiz correct but was unsure on a couple of points. Nice digging!
As a Canadian, And CFL fan. These were ez pz!
As cfl fan this was so easy and love the video
My brain's hurting and I'm not even drunk... this was one of the best FPV vids of all time.
1. No
2a. Onside punt 2b. Yes
3. Yes. Since flankers and slotbacks take a running start at the snap, they're usually 10 yards downfield in under a second. Because of this, bump'n'rub is impossible because the already-at-top-speed slotback or flanker would leave them in their dust. As a result, the defence doesn't really benefit from having a zone for legal contact so to reduce injury, the CFL makes contact like that illegal at all times. Take heart though, pitch-out runs are quite rare because you only have three downs to make ten yards, not four.
4. No yards penalty of ten yards. There is no fair catch in the CFL so the kicking team MUST stay 5yds or more away from the ball until it's touched by the opposing side or they'll be penalised.
5. Touchdown, kicking team. The punter and anyone beside or behind him when he kicks is considered onside and may recover the ball without the opposition touching it. This is similar to question #2. This is an onside punt.
6. HAHAHAHAHA!! I saw the game you're referring to. It was Alouettes at Argonauts in 2010. The game was tied 30-30 and Montreal missed the FG to win with no time left. The Torontp kicker at the time, Noel Prefontaine stopped it at the back of the end zone and punted it right back to Als kicker, Damon Duval. Duval put it back deep in the end zone and Noel's second return kick attempt was blocked. The Als recovered it in the end zone and so beat the Argos by a TD.
I got them all right but I'm Canadian and a hardcore CFL fan :)
GREAT VIDEO! Here's one more you might not know:
After a touchdown, when the scoring team attempts a convert (either kicking for 1 or throwing for 2), if the ball is intercepted, the play is NOT DEAD. The intercepting team can run the ball back! This happened at least once in my memory - a two-point convert was intercepted and run back to the opposing endzone. Result? The intercepting team got TWO POINTS (and won the game by one point)
I personally like cfl better then NFL. But that could just be I go to a lot of cfl games and watch them on t.v .
Okay so, I’m an Australian, I play rugby, I got all of them right
Awesome. In the CGI you made demonstrating all players have brown colored skin, sept the quarter back 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
C: we both don’t know we take another shot
C: we took too many shots
C: we die of alcohol poisoning
How are these wrong all of them are the perfect answer for anything especially the last one when your wife asks you to go shopping for cloths
LOL
Kinda like Rugby vs Rugby League - two sports that look similar on the surface but in fact have significant differences. I got three of these right (including the stumper), but only because of my Rugby / Rugby League background. Seems there is a lot more Rugby in CFL than I realised.
Paulie Jay if I remember correctly, I swear I read somewhere that Canadian football took a lot of rules from rugby. And that the Americans then modified some of those rules and made American football.
Cool - thanks for the info.
Well most of the CFL teams started out as rugby teams. Some of them are over 100 years old.
@@ngarcia103 Actually the Americans got the rules directly from the Rugby Football Union, while the Canadians got them before the RFU formed and standardized rugby. Canadians then kept modifying their game by adopting American rules over time.
As a canadian I'm proud to have gone 6/6
I’m a huge cfl fan and a fan of the Ottawa red blacks and I got all of these right
good job Jesse!
FivePoints Vids thanks
I got every one right. I love the CFL.
Very entertaining presentation of some mind-boggling rules ...
you actually got the punt/no yards rule wrong... the receiving team must field the ball and can't let it lay on the ground for a dead ball call.... as the kicking team punter can legally recover the ball and is for sure heading down field for exactly that purpose
6 for 6 here. This is why the CFL game is superior ;)
Football as a nation of hockey lovers enjoy it - Fast, flowing, and a little crazy around the edges!
Origins of Canadian Football:
A drunk Canadian moose, who happened to be a fan of Rugby, and American Football, was watching Arena Football, one night... The drunk moose thought to himself, "why doesn't Canadia maked it's own form of fooseball, eh?!"
*insert montage of drunk moose pounding down five cases of Molsons while writing down the rules to the CFL*
After this, Dudley Do-Right signed the bill into law, and he freed Quebec... Umm...
What was I talking about?
LOL
They invented the game period
that's impossible. gridiron is a canadian invention, just like all the biggest sports in canada and usa.
Just like basketball and hockey, gridiron football was invented in Canada. Rugby was introduced to Harvard by McGill University (Montreal).
They must kick a lot balls in in Canada
Joshua Gauvin nah we just hit pucks with sticks we only kick balls with sticks in our spare time
It is called football after all!
Yes, considering that there are only 3 downs.
@@fredb3400 too funny. lmfao man hilarious comment mate.
Better yet, in the CFL, there are kick and punt returns all game long. NFL screwed up when they killed returns. Now AAF has gotten rid of kicks altogether.
I got 2 and a half points, just by choosing the option that sounded more like a peyote hallucination.
players on the punting team --usually only the punter--that are back with the punter--are onside --and dont have to give the required 5 yards to the returner.
As a big Canadian Football fan just going to a game yesterday this was easy.
Wow this is great, CFL seems to have retained a lot of the rugby rules, field is same size as rugby pitch, offside rulings for kicker and field kicks etc. Much easier for rugby peeps to understand!
All but the 1st one right because I picked what rule didn’t quite sound normal lmao
I am a huge CFL fan and got all of these right with ease but great vid
This video was great, as a Canadian who loves the CFL, was funny as hell. Can you do some more CFL videos in the future please
CFL was only 50 years before the nfl started
It’s actually called a rouge when you miss a field goal. It is pretty much a consolation prize for playing.
lol how canadian!
FivePoints Vids I know right. It makes sense for high school football when my brothers team stomps some sorry Manitoba team 55-1
Benefits of being Canadian is I knew most of these even though I don't really follow football
Bring back the American CFL teams..Baltimore, Memphis, Las Vegas, Shreveport, Sacramento, San Antonio. Maybe CFL will expand again to pick up the teams from the two new US spring leagues after they fold.
2 years later...was I right?
Doug Flutie always said, the favorite quirky CFL rules play he wished he could have been part of but never saw, was in a 1-2 pt game when behind and no time on clock, to complete a pass to a receiver downfield, who then turns around and drop kicks the ball thru the goal posts for the winning 3 pts.
Could've done that in NFL rules too before 1990.
Lol. His foot was on/over the line and it still counted. Just like Brett Hull’s goal.
Does guessing them all correct count?
Omg a CFL VID!!!!
Definitely matches the name "Football" a whole lot more 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽💯🔥
You said I would get none of them right
Well, about that...
I got 4.5/6 correct
There were six, and on riddle #2, it was a two-part riddle. lol
Okay, I got 4.5/6 then
I'm a canadian and live in Edmonton. I have never been to a CFL game because the rules make me go crazy.
Good job on researching the rules of the CFL. Being a Canadian, I got them all correct. An alouette is a lark in English, just so you know.
that was a joy to experience. bless your soul kfivepoints bryant
Thank you
We need a high quality CFL video game! Tell me that would not be a bitchin video game?
When receivers move in motion before the snap it's called the waggle ( yes I know it's a silly word), though one receiver is not allowed to move, and he is called the end, and must be on the line of scrimmage, if there is no end, or the end moves it is a penalty called "no end".
I live in Canada and I only watch the CFL easy
I actually like the cfl over the nfl. Because there are less of those really dumb exceptions that could completely turn the tides on a game just from one obscure rule.
Edit: Also CATCHING the ball isn't a bunch of stupid exceptions
MCmudkip p watching a cfl game live is also much more fun because of the fact that there are only 3 downs and teams start chucking deep passes down the field way more often.
Yah my biggest pet peeve of the NFL is the punting and fair catch rule. Fair catch is a cop out and super annoying cause nothing happens on that play and just wastes the viewer's time. Also punting is a dead ball play which I find really weird cause the kicking team can never touch it without it being blown dead. In the CFL it is a live ball play, both sides can touch it, and the kicking team can pick it up and run it into an endzone for a touchdown, but if he wasn't onside it's a penalty and the receiving team gets it making the game more fluid and similar to actual football compared to making a completely different game for kicks vs the rest of the game.
@@Rindiculousfun I understand your problem with the fair catch, but with such a small field and little running room at times, sometimes it's just better to get a fair shot at catching the ball, rather than letting the other team decide where you start. The no-fair-catch policy is simply a result of having more field and getting that 5 year buffer to try and do something with it. In the right hands, it's a return touchdown (hello Brandon Banks!), but in the wrong hands and you might as well concede a 2-point safety rather than a 6 point touchdown.
