I hope to see them eat those words. Stegall looked like he wanted to go Cats.

The crowd looks like a home crowd not a GC crowd. Booing the Cats as they enter the fleld. Classless.

Dead intros like a regular season game for visitors. Not a GC type intro. Now alive as they go to their team.

So much for the formal introduction of the Riders. Got the 1st two players and then the whole team came out.

WTF ... what a bunch of classless morons. Entitlement anyone? That again is another Rider embarrassment to the CFL.

Extremely. Unlike the Tiger-Cats who cooperated with the individual player introductions, the Roughriders put the PA announcer in a very difficult situation in having to change his speech. I wonder if he was prepared for such a contingency plan. I'm sure that CFL has an agreement with TSN about post-game procedures and the CFL just violated the agreed procedures. I wonder if the commissioner will fine the Roughriders for changing the rules.
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你蛇年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

riders pulled the same crap off at the WDF trophy presentation and were told to come out.

It is about time TSN called them out on this stuff. I don't get it .. it is not their HC but a core of arrogant, classless players ... yet their REC are all good guys.

Regina screwed up the trophy presentation and now the player introduction. How embarrassing for the league

What a big break for the Riders. Durant fumble, recovery by Sheets for 40 yard gain.

Cuthbert-Suitor are doing the play-by-play. Too bad it's not Rod Black-Duane Ford, and we won't get to hear Black say "delicious irony" one more time. :wink:
We could hear some pro-Ssk bias from Suits. Or even some innocently-intended remark from anyone else — whether it's Cuthbert, the studio panel, the sideline crews — that some people will read too much into.
If your missing your Black-Ford fix, tune into the Team 1040 for the TSN radio broadcast.

I would go for that but radio don't synch well with TV.

You can see the errors Ham making on DEF and then a dropped easy pass by Giguere for a 1st dwn plus... a pattern?

I think he's referring to Darian Durant who's brother play for the Dallas Cowboys, "America's team" and Darian was saying he's playing for Saskatchewan "Canada's team"

I wondered on that one....

I also wonder with momentum shifting to Riders if Austin will use Dan L at QB to get some runs in. I doubt he'll be patient if Burris struggles here.

Riders aren't playing great on O but errors by Ham that are small making a big difference.

This could get ugly fast. If the Cats show zip now all those TVs in the east will be heading to other channels.

Ticats need to make a play or two on offense as the momo shift is looking bigger now every time riders get the ball
