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."

Not even sure why they'd bring the sex pest back. Arbuckle has been more than fine. Keep on rolling with him. 

If I'm the Argos I keep Kelly on the bench and next season re-evaluate what to do with Kelly.   

Watch Walters make a trade for Kelly.

This idea is not as crazy/improbable as it sounds.

Wash your mouth out with soap, preferably Zest.

I can't tell if you are saying that Arbuckle has been average or he will maintaining his current average but looking at the game logs and geez; 6 Straight games of 300 or more yards passing, 14 TDs vs 2 Interceptions. If the Bombers were getting that level of QBing they'd probably be the prairie team sitting on 10 wins.

as in his average production per game, about 319 passing yards and 1-2 td, like i referred to.
Which makes it hard to expect improvement by swapping him for kelly.

Kelly is making $625000 in hard money this year and next. Can't see how we'd make it work moneywise.

whats ZC make last yr...and this?...was it reported what 2026 is?

No report on what Zach makes next year. It was 600k this year and hard to see him taking a pay cut. 

Unless it’s Kelly for ZC. lol. Zach retires an Argo.

The second Arbuckle falters, Dinwiddie will bench him.

On one hand most teams didn't spend through that whole 500k increase, he also had an upfront bonus of like 250k this year, so you'd only be eating the Pro rated amount for 1/3 of the year. 

That said, I want no part of kelly.

3dn lists it at 600k for this year, I believe next year was the same deal but it was never officially announced.

And the poor get poorer. 

I honestly thought he was still playing there lol

Bridges falling down or getting burnt deep repeatedly is something I'm glad we no longer have to endure. He'll fit right in with that D.

At this point, can we say Rigmaiden the scout is way better than Rigmaiden the gm?

Kelly for Zack.....IF Walters entertained that deal, he should be not only considered slipping, but fallen off a cliff.... AND talking qbs, hows Elgersma doing lately??

Seems MBT is coming back for the Als. I doubt he makes much of a difference for them. 

This just in. Cj Reavis confirms that he is an ******* who doesn't take responsibility for his actions.

He's just like the team's fans.

He has a case of whataboutism.

He might want to go back and watch the film on his ear hole hit.

As for him charging that one of our lineman intentionally dove at his knees, I would suggest then going to his coach, get the gametape that shows it and submit it into the league for review.
