 How many TV timeouts are there, and how long are they? That's most likely
 the difference, not the rule books.

 With last night's Toronto/Winnipeg game in the background, I don't see a
 huge difference in TV timeouts, although there's no commercial break
after a
 post-TD kick-off.

Someone just passed this along to me. It contrasts with (I think) 5 or 6 TV
timeouts per quarter in the NFL:

According to the CFL regulations (pp. 16-17 here -
http://media.cfldb.ca/documents/appendix-e-part-3-cfl-regulations.pdf),
there are the following timeouts:

(paraphrased)

3 per quarter, each lasting 1:50
1 (a three-minute warning) in each of the second and fourth quarters, each
lasting 1:50
1 after both the first and third quarters, each lasting 2:20

So that’s 14 (assuming you count the quarter breaks), or 12 (if you don’t).

 If the NFL really wanted to change up the Pro Bowl, they could try out
the
 Canadian rulebook. The CFL games I’ve watched almost always finish within
 their scheduled three-hour block.

At least 10 per half in reg-season games, of one or two minutes per, this 
IHT-via-NY Times piece informed the wiki on them.

Also:
Each team has only one time-out per half.
The offence has 20 seconds from the ref's whistle to snap the ball.
