We’ve gone through the option year window, the release of the 2010 schedule and the start of free agency. We still have the Evaluation Camp, Canadian College Draft and training camps to come. How do we bide our time until the season starts? Well, cflwatcher has sent along some more archive video and I have extracted some old CFL commercials from the late 1980’s. Enjoy.
All video is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC in MP4 V2 container unless otherwise specified.

In 1989 the release of the movie Batman was accompanied by a media blitz. Many did whatever was possible to capitalize on the Batman phenomenon, including reviving reruns of the campy 1960’s Batman TV series. The CFL spoofed the send-offs of the old show with a series of their own commercials. cflwatcher was able to provide commercials for six of the eight teams.
