So, it's not just becuase the Stamps have been the class of the league for the past decade or so, it was the same story back when Wally was still coaching and when the team stunk in the Feterik era too. I've shown the clip of the Eskimos Stamps game from 2001 as an example.
Did someone on the Stamps give him a hard time when he started out broadcasting? Did they screw him during his playing career somehow (ie he wanted to some here but Stamps said no?) or take out in a game back in the 80s? Whatever it is, it's pretty clear he relishes most Stampeders losses or potential losses, in amongst his other very annoying idiosyncrasies when calling a game.

I still remember in the Dunnigan era there was one game where the Riders were running up the score under Danny Barrett, throwing deep, I remember a onside kick and Suitor was over the moon orgasmic.
Lets be honest, Suitor played in a era where you'd hide a Canadian at safety, and Suitor was an awful safety, all you ever saw of him was the back of his jersey as he chased receivers into the end zone. His claim to fame was that he was the holder during field goals.
His over the top cheerleading and crying about penalties against the Riders is pretty unprofessional, and I've said that TSN shouldn't allow him to call Rider games period.
He's a on air jerk.
