nope. Says nothing about the CFL like the old one did. How's this supposed to bring the next generation of fans forward? Lame.

Concur 100%

So far...awful

I'll wait and see until it's fully introduced, but not loving it-it mentions TSN rather than the CFL. WE'll see.

I think I know where they got the inspiration... The Faith Hill renditions of Sunday night football.

as much as I love TSN, that sounded really dreadful to be honest.

I definately didn't like it. Give me the old Friday Night Football theme song any day of the week. My three teenage boys thought it was horrible as well.

Yeah so much for appealing to the younger market. My only thought is they're trying to appeal to the NFL loving CFL haters in Toronto. Everyone I've talked to that's seen it says how "NFL" it sounds.

I assume at the very least Suitor's kid is not involved? I bet his dad lobbied for him.

My first though watching Friday night was "unimaginative rip-off" of the NFL Sunday night version

This is typical of the decision making by the wannabees out of Toronto. Reminds me of the old light bulb joke:

Q: How many Torontonians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Two. One to change the bulb and one to go to New York to find out how they do it there.
