Why is a CFL ball bigger than an NFL ball?
The CFL ball IS NOT bigger. This is a myth. The CFL ball only looks fatter because of the white stripes. I own a regulation NFL ball and have placed it next to a CFL ball -- and the dimensions are identical. In years gone by, I played amateur football in two different leagues using CFL and NFL rules respectively. When I quarterbacked, the official NFL ball was easier to grip and I could throw forward passes farther downfield. The CFL ball was easier to punt and would invariably travel farther than the NFL sphere. I don't know about actual measurements of the respective fully-inflated balls, but I can say without any reservation that the balls were not identical and performed differently.
Can a CFL player on the practice squad go to the NFL in the same season?
Generally, yes. However, there are rules regarding players being under contract to only one team. If a CFL player has an opportunity to play in the NFL, he first gets released from his CFL duties.

They released him just before the season opener and he returned to his CFL team, the Toronto Argonauts.
