I PVRd and watched (much of) the first telecast each time. This year I recorded the opening game but after dabbling with the intro for about a minute, I deleted the recording.
I watched a bit of one of the Sunday games, and the overkill with the VP of officiating Dean Blandino really made it difficult to keep watching. Unlike many CFL fans, I do believe the talent is comparable, but these spring leagues just seem to rush everything. Short training camp, and no pre-season games results in pretty bad offence to start every season they have.
