And they do really annoying things like go on and on with anecdotes that sometimes have little/no relevance to what's going on on the field, let homers like Suitor call games for his former team, miss showing replays or actual live plays because of commercials, etc. I'm sure the average NFL fan finds TSN to be underwhelming to say the least.
The CFL could expand into the American viewing market (and the Canadian one for that matter) but I don't think it will go anywhere without some changes at TSN.
And yes, Saskatchewan is no good.

The other day during a game (can't exactly remember who), ESPN had little segments between quarters explaining differences between CFL & NFL rules. It was pretty cool.
And they weren't like snarky ass comments you hear a lot of times from CFL haters, it was a top notch analysis. Almost praising the CFL for only have 3 downs and making it harder.
