Watched both games... Bertolet kicking, played in Hamilton last year (was cut in Nov after hitting only 67% during the year). No mention of CFL. Only A&M... so I'm guessing there is a ban on mentioning CFL... they were gushing about his performance and how wonderful the teams scouting as to have found him, and have him come in and make some long FGs.
Games were unimpressive, play was mediocre, refereeing was sadly lacking even with the reviews, production values dropped again, two spider cams, no drones, a few handhelds running around the field, not much mic'd up, no helmet cams.
Looks like they are scaling back production dramatically. And the lack of crowds... yeesh. During the Birmingham game, the commentators actually were mentioning that the teams had to put up with crowd noise for a change... and then jumped to "Not a lot of crowd noise"...
Lots of injuries, players aren't in shape, and aren't working as nice, clean units. One of the commentators was arguing an OPI on a rub route where the receivers had too much separation and the "rub" actually reached out to deflect the DB... and the commentator disputed it was OPI initially...
Lots of time outs for no reason, and the "Clock stops on a first down in the final 2 minutes" did not seem to actually be the case...
I can't see a season 2, I would be surprised if they finish out the season except that they may have contractual obligations that may make it cheaper to play that pay out non performance penalties...
