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.
