If, when I die, I go to hell all Ti-Cat games will be called by Rod Black and Glen Suitor and all they will talk about is the NFL.
I had to check a couple of times during last night’s broadcast to make sure I had not in fact died during the game, but no, it was a living hell of constant references to Luke Tasker’s dad, RGIII and a bunch of other players I don’t give a flying %^$* about!
Shut up Glen Suitor! Please God, shut up and call the game. Yes the field is wider, yes the play clock is shorter and yes Luke, amazingly, has a father-son relationship with his Dad! (Wow!).
My wife mentioned it last night, why does Suitor talk non-stop? most is meaningless drivel. He gives me a headache, why can't he be a "silent partner" like Duane Ford? At least Ford doesn't come up with those long winded stories that go on and on and on. The Tasker story went on and then he continued it after an ad.
How do we shut Suitor up without turning the sound down?
Don't listen to the drivel-ators. Mute the TV, it's almost the same as being in the stands. If you can stand the video delay listen to CHML, I do and like the effect lots.
I'm thinking that, with the broadcasts being picked up on (minority shareholder and partner) ESPN/ESPN3, TSN has been told by ESPN to make these references. That whole segment on Tasker and his father was obviously planned before the game, probably not just thrown in by Suiter. It's quite probable that Suiter didn't have a choice in the matter.
Their endless NFL chatter makes me want to change the channel.
I watch the CFL for cfl banter. Not NFL banter. I don't watch the NFL and have no idea who the F they are talking about when they are name-dropping.
I do believe that this game was one featured on ESPN (saw some references to that in comments on the TSN site) so references to the NFL and connections between the leagues (like Tasker) would be made to draw in US viewers. Most of the time I just tune out the announcers. Tried listening to CHML but found the time delay to be annoying.
It’s not endless NFL chatter, they are talking about Tasker who is a Tiger Cat player and his father was an NFL players so it’s not like they are talking about the NFL with no connection to the CFL.
It’s the same thing when they talk about Warren Moon or Flutie who were ex-NFL players, who had CFL connections.
My problem is that Suitor just never shut about it, all he had to say was Tasker is the son of the NFL player Tasker.
Great suggestion. I think I’ll try it the next time the annoying Rob Black or Glenn Suitor are part of the TSN broadcast of away Cat games. (Can’t do this for home games as I am in the stands at THF - this is another excellent way of avoiding both individuals).
