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."

It’s going to come down to who gets hot. Could be anyone (except the riders, they’ve already had their hot streak)

It seems coaches this year are more willing to attempt longer field goals that have KR’s licking their chops as they see 300 pound lineman chugging down the field to cover missed attempts.

The East is wide open.... the West I don't believe Harris and Adams have ever shown that they can play well in cold weather.

Crazy to think we could be playing for 2nd place in two weeks if Calgary loses to BC and Hamilton

The Ottawa fire sale has started. Has Walters charged up his cell phone?

I always appreciate you bringing sanity to conversations around here... There's a lot for "name recognition factor" with Mauldin...

Yeah when I saw this I thought guess he’s not the same elite DL he was 2 years ago cuz if he was he’d still be a redblack. 

Interesting. Wonder if the fire sale continues. Couple pieces i’d really like.

I'm sure the Bombers would have been active bidders for Mauldin if there was any proof he was better than Jake THomas.

Mauldin is American. Thomas is Canadian. They both appear cooked. Mauldin here doesn’t replace a Canadian.

except we’ve been running 9+ canadians. So you could replace jake with an american full time.

But they won’t. I mean Adams is prob better than an injured washed Mauldin and they don’t play him currently. They aren’t gonna all of a sudden not play Jake. Time for you all to accept that and let it go. He’s going out on his terms. Cuz the yeah but Jake Thomas crap Is getting ridiculous. We all know. I think most of us have accepted reality tho. 

At this point I’m only gonna complain if Jake is signed to a new deal. Then yeah I’ll complain. Until then, better to accept he’s playing. Cuz literally nothing can be done short of Jeff Galooly.
