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."

Speedy B agrees wit you.

I think he can become one in the right system. Whatever they tried against BC isn't it though.

Sure if the system only says qb run left, qb run right, qb run up the middle, qb run for your life. :-)

Ford can’t read a D. To be an elite QB you need to do that. He’s 1 read and scramble. Could he learn that ? Sure but prob needs to sit behind a vet willing to help him for a couple years. Not sure Cody is that guy. Now I’m not saying I’d do this but… maybe reuniting tre with Jarious who seemed to bring out the best version of him would be a start. More of an off season thing tho. With that said, anyone hear anything about Elgersma at all?

Trevor Harris is the player of the week - a QB who generated 10 points? Allllllrighty then.

The biggest issue with Ford is he can’t throw the ball fast enough to be accurate at this level.  But you can give him a lot more room to work with by running a committed RPO scheme.  Then it’s a matter of if he can take the punishment of running more/always being the decoy.

Yeah, and a linebacker whose defence was on the field for 43 minutes and gave up over 170 yards to Butler as a performer of the week.

 

 

Argos OL Ryan Hunter was riding a scooter on the first day back after bye week and was hit by a car. Out at least 6-8 weeks... What in the actual ****?

Sure played a hell of a game between the 30s. Yes sir, a good game between the 30s.

Pimpleton also cost Ottawa the game with a muffed punt.

Gotta recognize greatness bro. Without Peters on the field, they give up at least 173.

Wrong Decision by the CFL.

A 36 year old DE to pair with two DEs who are 34 and 32, what are we trying to do field a team for the senior's league?🤣

In rotation it probably wouldn't be too bad (obviously not a long term plan though).  If he signs with a team, he still has a 2 game suspension to serve so as a mid-season add, we could do worse.

Nope don’t won’t him associated with our club at all. Getting a better push up the middle is no where near justification in signing him.

Agreed. Not advocating for him to be brought in - just thinking strictly about what he could add on the field (or more to the point, where we need the most help).

Should have been a lifetime ban. 

IMO CFL made the absolute wrong decision regarding Lemon....100% should have been a lifetime ban

I'm all for appropriate second chances because us humans suck just try to suck less but this one makes no sense imo.

Big blow to Toronto and their Oline

It's one thing to bet on games you had no direct influence on.  It's something entirely different to bet on games you were actively involved in and had a hand in the outcome of - it calls into question the integrity of the game and the league.  Terrible decision.
