If you think four downs are too many and eleven players aren't enough, the NFL Network has your football fix.

The NFL Network and the Canadian Football League have reached an agreement to put 14 regular season CFL games on the league-run cable network, beginning with a Montreal-Saskatchewan game Thursday night, July 1, at 7 pm ET.

NFL Network will then air three Saturday games in July, and then Friday night games beginning again in September.  No CFL games will air in August, when the NFL Network has a preseason-packed schedule of NFL exhibitions.

NFL Network will take a feed produced by Canadian sports broadcaster TSN.
