Bring Cedric Wilcots back, he's a Jr. imitation of Jeffcoat in style and he might still be here if they hadn't traded him away for Alden Darby.

His brother Slim was a darn fine yodeler too …

Danny Gallivan was the best hockey pbp announcer.. If Don Wittman had he been an American working on a US Network doing pro footabll, college or the Olympics then he'd be mentioned as one of the all time greats. He could do football, hockey & track & field at such a high excellence. To me, no one comes close to these two as far as sports broadcasters go in our country.

Don't care if his name is Smith or Jones.......get him in there.

Mills had one job. Not fumble. He did & it cost the Stamps the game. That Lions team are a bunch of yappy & arrogant pricks.

Bottomless Cup.

I’d argue Don Wittman was the greatest, but a Cuthbert is an extremely close second

I was trying to ignore you referring to a bucket hat as your child, I’m glad you clarified that.

Ftr my original post meant to say "lids" not kids.... Now edited. I don't want anyone thinking I'm THAT kind of crazy... (Just the regular kind that you already know about...)

Cuthbert ain’t what he used to be. Not even close.

Cuthbert is the best hockey and CFL PBP of all time, without question.

Laine has aged 25 years. Shave it off. Those locks ain’t coming back.

I’m just super picky about hats. To each their own. I really like the ‘47 Franchise cap on the Bomber store website right now fwiw, I might go pick it up.

My two favourite lids right now, both from The Bombers Store, are a royal blue snapback and a white/blue "courderoy" bucket hat. I'm 44 and never considered there was anything wrong with the snapback.... But it is also possible that I am WILDLY out of touch... Ha ha.

Dru would be pummeled behind this o line without Brady also.

I'm really worried about Laine. Look at his arm. How does he get through the day?

He’s from Brampton, Onatario. I wouldn’t know one way or the other about hockey these days, I just know he was one of the all time greats for CFL games.

Cuthbert is completely unlistenable now as a homer leafs announcer and I don’t think he’s from Toronto

It’s never the same

You know you can curve a 59fifty brim right 😂

I don't know Derek at all (we have several mutual friends in the industry) but he is meant to be a national broadcaster for the CFL. He will be the best CFL national PBP in a very long time.... I say that as a broadcaster and a fan of broadcasting.

I usually mute them and put on the local radio commentary, i skip the halftimes entirely.

Agree on Gord Miller. Smith is only good behind the desk, he has the delivery of a male Cassie Campbell. Hate him as a PBP guy. I never thought I’d dislike a voice more than Rod Black. Nielson should be doing pro wrestling. For my money Marshall Ferguson is the best PBP guy on TV currently but it’s a very low bar. Lapo should be the #1 colour guy, he’s great at it. Duane Forde is fine. Suitor’s an idiot. DT is fantastic and I selfishly wouldn’t want to lose him but he’d immediately be TSN’s best play-by-play announcer.

Nailed it with this. We have like 10-12 gameday guys under 30 and only 1 player on the whole active roster right now under 25 (Clercius) and 1 on the 6-Game (Garbutt) That’s not sustainable in any way.

Definitely not, but Cuthbert is still the best ever. Borderline unwatchable is way too far. I don't love Nielson and Smith is a pro but is well past his due date. I think DT should be the next one called up to the bigs, and likely replace Smith. The analysts are varying levels, but Matty and Lapo are very good, Forde is solid and Suitor...... Ehhhhhhhhh..... It's all well more than serviceable and far from borderline unwatchable. Also, Gord Miller was a fantastic PBP and I wish he was still on the CFL beat. For my money, I like him better on football than hockey.
