Does she have any knowledge of the CFL?   

Sanchez is pretty good...  Is Shultz showing up at all this season?

This is my favourite part about these changes... Rod Smith is a good panel host but he is a fantastic play-by-play guy... he needs to be in the both more often...

Kate will make a great panel host...

I hope Burris does better this year.......I didn't think he was that good to listen to last year.

That's because Burris is a complete and utter dumbass but he doesn't know that he's a dumbass so he thinks he's actually making smart points. Just a total waste of time on a panel.

Hopefully Dunigan gets more games this year... he's absolutely hilarious IMO.  

I agree, he's very entertaining, seems closer to the players than some of the others.

also, not full of himself at all.

"obviously" knows a lot about the game.

Canadian version of Dandy Don.

I like when Dunigan is doing games with two subpar teams and where lots of mistakes are being made and the outcome really doesn't make a difference.   This is when he shines and does all sorts of funny sound effects and jokes around about pass drops and anything funny that happens on the field.

you said it -- Smith / Dunigan is TSN's best broadcast team AINEC.  Smith is a real pro at calling the action and doesn't push out much beyond that and that leaves all kinds of airtime for Dunigan to a) break down mistakes and successes like a coach and b) lose his freaking mind with excitement when he sees something amazing, like a fan.  I think my dream CFL celebrity scenario is just watching a game live with Matt and listening to him go on about it.

Re: the panel changes I like that they're finally putting someone from the D on the panel.  Never listened to Sanchez's podcasts, though, so I have no idea how good he is at talking about the CFL.

But my main hope for the panel is that they have the same clothing sponsor as they had last year because Milt and Matt were just killing it, game in, game out.

And another thing...bring Chris Shultz back on...and get rid of Burris.

Why is there some sort of affirmative action plan where they have to have at least one ***** on the panel for equality purposes?

That is called the Climie Clause.

No joke. To get rid of jock, and hank on top of these changes would be incredible. Id give my left nut for pinball to join the panel. 

I feel like itd be good too if matty and duane ford swapped spots too. Duane has some great insight and analysis, but he is not a good or natural presenter / speaker. Matty is the opposite. 

I enjoy walby and westwood, id love to see walby join the tsn panel or do color etc. And i wouldnt mind seeing westwood rolled into abit more of the bomber/cjob coverage. 

Brown on the tsn panel would be great for every one too. I love him working with bob but he is such a bright, well spoken and interesting guy fans of all teams would love doug.
