As for the CFL, I wouldn't know how to even go about seeing a game. I've seen ping pong, bowling, ice skating, hs football, hs basketball, lacrosse, poker, tractor pull, slam ball, women's basketball, synchronized swimming, rythmic gymnastics, etc., but have never seen a CFL game on TV.
Actually, in the early 90's there were a number of American CFL teams.

Baltimore Stallions actually won a grey cup in 95...over Calgary mad: The only American team to ever win a grey cup.

Last year there werte a number of games carried on US tv:

Comcast and Cox sports were the major carriers.

Not sure about the upcoming season, but i'm sure there will be games televised in the states.

Also, if there are any "Canadian" bars in your area, they would likley carry some of these games. I know when my grandparents used to go to california they would always go to a canadian bar to watch the candian football games with other canadians. Probably the only place you could find these types of places would be California, Arizona and Flordia because those are the main destinations for Candians.
