From 3DN about TSN broadcasts this year....

 

"The CFL on TSN is taking a renewed approach to its broadcasts for 2025.

 

The network’s panel will travel to all nine stadiums over the course of the upcoming season, sources told 3DownNation, including visits to Regina and Montreal in Week 1. Kate Beirness is returning to host the panel with Henoc Muamba and Davis Sanchez filling the main roles alongside her.

 

Paul LaPolice will also frequently appear on the panel, though he will also perform colour commentary for one game per week. As previously reported, longtime panelist and Hall of Fame quarterback Matt Dunigan is no longer with the network.

 

As for Milt Stegall, who has been with the network since 2009, there is no timeline for his return after the death of his eldest son, Chase. The 20-year-old died unexpectedly at DePaul University on Monday where he was a member of the school’s soccer team.

 

“Our CFL on TSN family is absolutely devastated over Chase’s passing. If you know Milt, you know that his family is everything to him, and we cannot imagine the pain he is going through right now,” said producer Chris Edwards in a statement to 3DownNation. “Milt is our brother and we are going to give him our love and support him in any way we can, and in whatever way he needs.”

 

During a broadcast teeing up the 2025 season on Tuesday, TSN dedicated its coverage this year to Chase’s memory.

 

TSN plans to flesh out the panel by rotating in active players, though it doesn’t appear as though this will happen every week. Players will generally make panel appearances during bye weeks, though there may also be opportunities for in-studio appearances when players are in town to play the Argonauts or Tiger-Cats.

 

Friday Night Football, a longtime network staple, will have a brand new presentation featuring fresh animations, graphics, and music. One source called the scope of the production “bigger.”

 

The play-by-play personnel at the network has remained unchanged for 2025, featuring Rod Smith, Dustin Nielson, Marshall Ferguson, and occasionally Farhan Lalji. Colour commentary will be performed by Glen Suitor, Duane Forde, and LaPolice."

I was pretty much out the second I saw the mullet...

I’ll take interviews with Hogan and JY any day over OSH. 

Of course, half the battle is squeezing a few decent questions out of the mic monkeys, for them to respond to. 

I refuse to support X (**** Elon) but curious how did Wilson rank the fan bases?

What do you do for a living?

I’m a Mic Monkey.

I’m going to try this answer out next time someone asks me this question instead of my usual answer that I’m in the adult entertainment business.

A Mic Monkey is a lazy interviewer who puts no effort into his line of questioning. 
“What did you think of Streveler’s play?” …is a classic mic monkey line.

He's at the very least a fresh take on the CFL. Which is nice. I've never really liked his NFL stuff he did with TSN. I am kinda liking the fan ranking thing on X. Assuming he's full on trolling and not being serious.

Last week he went on a rant about the "Worst penalty in CFL history" during the MTL vs TO game. And it was pretty obvious he hadn't watch the CFL very much cause, well it was the correct call and even if they had messed it up, there have been far far worse called lol.

was it last season?... I believe Ham vs Mtl... Hamilton player clearly fumbles the ball... without a shadow of a doubt... somehow the runner is called down and confirmed via replay... that's probably the worst call I've ever seen in the CFL

TSN trying way too hard to put lipstick on the 240 yard per game total offense QB in Edmonton.

my first and only thought when reading this:

Exactly the type of move the stamps made a dynasty by NOT making lol. 
 

Wonder if he gets off the pr

Good for Adam. Gets a few more CFL dollars and maybe gets a few more hits on the field. Sucks the Bombers couldn’t work out a deal but that’s the business of football. Thanks for the great years Biggie.

Would’ve been great to have him as a coach in grooming but way she goes. 

Biggie was great for us but glad he's no longer an option for MOS.

Not likely he ever plays for them, but won't be surprised if he steps into coaching with the Stamps now instead of with the Bombers.  He must be blind, if he sees this move as extending his playing career.
