Has he at least toned down the NFL reference for every guy who comes up to the CFL to play...it was becoming an epidemic. Any distant connection would be referred on the telecast...game winning field goal ...wait, let's call a TV timeout to discuss a player's family tree and their football genetics. A few references in the beginning of the season when a player may be new the league is expected, but to keep bringing them up even when the guy is a veteran in the league is a bit much.
What was most nauseating last year was how much NFL talk and footage that was shown during the East Final, with Duron Carter and Luke Tasker playing. It really was ridiculous.
