Rich Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 It has been announced today that Dave Randorf is moving to Sportsnet. Apparently he has always wanted to be more involved with hockey and with Sportsnet getting the NHL TV rights, he will get that opportunity over there. Any guesses on who will replace him on the CFL panel? Anyone that you would like to see from your wish list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hopefully not Climie. Scianitti and Matthews follow the CFL closely, maybe this could be their big chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Got a feeling Rod Black moves to the panel and Gord Miller/ Matt Devlin make up for Rod in the play by play booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Although would like to see Farhan Lalji on the panel he really knows his football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskbluefan Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Randorf is the first guy that ever did it long term. In the old days it was usually " the new guy". I seem to recall both Dutch and Duthie in that chair for one season each. They could go all out and put Brian Williams in there but my guess is Mudryk.

kelownabomberfan Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 If they really want to replace the metrosexual Randorf on the panel how about John Lu. Those bow ties are fabulous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 What's Duthies story? If he's sticking with TSN without hockey to do would seem pretty natural for him to shift back to the CFL panel. Noeller and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yes, I agree that Duthie would be the natural choice. Or maybe a guy like Rod Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Nate Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 1. Duthie 2. Rockin' Rod Smith 3. Rod Black (as long as they keep him away from play by play) 4. Mark Masters (best of the new guys but I suspect MM might bolt to S-net too) 5. Climie I think Sara Orlesky would be the best candidate amongst women but she lives in Winnipeg now and would have to fly out to Toronto every weekend for 2 to 4 days.

Noeller Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Duthie or Rod Black...good for Randorf, tho. He deserves the push and is immediately a massive upgrade from Marek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'll miss Randorf. He did a good job with the idiots on the panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Farhan would be my choice for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'd be happy with Black on the panel just to get him out of the booth to put us all out of our misery. That being said, I still hate the guy & I'd send him back to Canada AM & figure skating. Lalji would be a great choice. The best of all of them although that would probably mean relocating to Toronto during the season from Vancouver where he is heavily involved in coaching high school football out there. He may not want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Completely forgot about Rod Smith, he'd be my first choice, so I suppose my list would be. 1. - Rod Smith 2. - Farhan Lalji 3. - Mark Masters 4. - Matthew Scianitti 5. - Brian Williams 6. - Cory Woron 7. - Brent Wallace 8. - Vic Rauter . . . . . . 1,000,000 - Rod Black................... anyone recall how bad the draft was with him this season ?

Mr. Perfect Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I liked Dutch a lot when he use to lead the panel back in the day. That being said if the only way to get Rod Black out of play by play would be shifting him into the role I would gladly do that. Always have thought Gord Miller does 10X the job of calling football than Black does. Blue-urns and iso_55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Very humbled by all the msg's today. 17 amazing years at #TSN Sincere thanks to all my friends and colleagues there. #firstclass #grateful — Dave Randorf (@DaveRandorf) June 3, 2014 To all the great #CFL fans, thank you so much for your kind words. It has been my great pleasure. I will miss the entire crew dearly. — Dave Randorf (@DaveRandorf) June 3, 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Black to get him away from calling games and in the hopes his stupidity causes Shultz to snap and body slam him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALuCsRED Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'd rather take Black for one game a week (with the chance he's working either the one in Winnipeg that I am at, or the Rider game that I am not watching ) rather than hearing Black before, during and after every game, four games a week.

Goalie Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Maybe someone like Gord Miller if he is staying works. Personally, i agree with the Farhan Lalji opinion of a few on here but i'd rather see farhan actually become a play by play guy instead. Maybe replace Miller and give Farhan and Matt D some more games to call. Rob Black is terrible and i couldn't stand to watch the pregame if he was on it. Hate when he calls our games, which happens too much. Maybe we'd get cuthbert though on thursdays? it's highly possible but.. I'd honestly say anyone but Rod Black.

KptKrunch Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 hmmmmm, I liked Duthie when he was on it, but I bet he goes to Sportsnet too. I think a lot of the TSN guys (the good ones anyway) will end up going there). I could see Blackie doing it (I hate him as much as the rest of you) but would prefer Natasha Staniszewski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I generally dislike most of the TSN and really most of the mainstream media talking heads, but I will miss Randorf. The options to replace him are not likely to be upgrades. I would love to see Lalji there, but really the problem is that he'll just be the set-up man while Schultz tells me "YOU WIN BY SCORING, Farhan, to WIN, you NEED TO SCORE MORE THAN THE OTHER TEAM." *intense stare into camera* I would rather see TSN move to a crew that really can do football and the CFL justice. A full crew that understands the game and can actually analyze things. Maybe this will be a turning point for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
