Great coverage, great interception, just wow!

@Dave_CHED:
What is DPI supposed to be defined as now??? I'm at a loss and so is the #CFL

[transplant99]

Roughriders whining about officiating is hilarious.

Look at your personnel and then look at the man who assembled it.....and tell me this game or any of the other 8 you've lost have ANYTHING to do with the guys wearing stripes.

Ridiculous.

Maybe the @CFL should be fined this wk.Last DPI call takes away from great #LDC.Congrats Bombers.Great effort @dariandurant @sskroughriders

Wow that's pathetic whining. How embarrassing for the province.

Glenn has lost the starting job.

@DidierRDS:
I'm told Kevin Glenn is no longer the starting QB. He's replaced by Rakeem Cato. Corbin Louks has been released. #Alouettes @CFL

[corporatejay]

That was a terrible call

Not so surprise about this. Kevin Glenn had been awful the last few games. A veteran QB should never make the same mistakes over and over. They could have beaten Ottawa last game but he threw an INT right away once they get their possession. I keep saying Glenn's best season was when he was with Stampeders. After that he just went downhill.

[old-fart]

Rider fans crying and whining is delicious. Bunch a babies. Your team sucks and has one lucky undeserved win against a third string QB. You should be thankful.

One side-effect of TSN losing practically all NHL hockey is the resources they now spend on the CFL broadcasts - it really shows, I know people like to rag on some of the announcers, but the presentation, camera-work and background vignettes are top-notch stuff.

I even started listening to the panel at half-time! They're doing a great job, even Milt Stegall, who I thought was awkward when he started out, is impressive. They spend some time clowning around but they usually have something insightful to say and they all work well together. Good work!

[JiriHrdina]

Yeah TSN's work with the CFL is and has been fantastic, even before they lost the NHL. Frankly I miss their touch on the NHL too. They simply are way better at a lot of the presentation aspects than Sportsnet.

The only quibble I have is Black. I actually like Duane Ford, but dear lord I hate tuning into a Stamps game to only realize that I'm going to have to hear Black refer to BLM as "Bo Mitchell" for 3 hours.

Get Gord Miller in there and TSN is pretty much as good as it can get. Miller is too good to waste on hockey

[TheAlpineOracle]

I really like Dunnigan calling the games. I think he has health issues though that limits his travel so we don't get him much as a result.

Cuthbert and Miller are top notch to be sure. And the color guys are good too - I know some people don't care for Suitor but I like him.
I do wonder why Chris Walby, who was the #1 color guy on CBC - has never made it on TSN.

[GirlySports]

this game is nuts. Argos up 36-31 threatening but Ricky Ray got smoked and threw an INT.

[transplant99]

This game is bananas.

Old time CFL football today...no question.

[chummer]

Jeez Toronto, way to implode.

I was fairly young when the CBC and Walby covered the CFL but I did enjoy listening to him. I really like Duane Ford too. Just a different approach than Suitor, who I can't stand.

I actually think Glen Suitor is a smart commentator minus the homerism and constant repeating stories about one particular player. I can't stand him whenever he start talking Arsenault, Adarius Bowman, JC Sherritt and so on. He'll talk about a player and he'll continue the same story. Cuttbert is good PBP again minus the homerism and him following Suitor's repeated stories. If these two can get rid of the homerism and repeated stories I can tolerate them.

Rod Black wasn't bad today and Duane Forde was not perfect but I thought they both did a good job.

Get your popcorn ready folks it's about to get real interesting (or so I thnk)... having an immature idiot like Carter in the locker room should add more entertainment, if it already hasn't happened.

@HerbZurkowsky1
Rakeem Cato just lost his cool with Duron Carter. Had to be separated by Kevin Glenn and Anthony Calvillo.

@DidierRDS:
Cato to Calvillo after his argument with Carter: "I'm tired of all this talking. You guys always let it slide." #Alouettes @CFL
