Well I think most would disagree with you and say we need more Dunigan on TSN. Now his time in TO didn't end well so....

I love Matt and he's far from that. He calls it like he sees it.

I have no idea what you're talking about....the Miller/Dunigan team is actually TSN's best CFL play-by-play crew...They really got to do something about the Rod Black and Duane Ford tandem, they bore me to death with their dry vanilla commentary....I did not see the BC-Toronto game live last week but caught it on TSN.ca on demand or whatever...Black consistently refererred to an Argo player (I think) as the relative to an NFL player a gazillion times...is this all the guy does for research, study the family lineage of players on the roster.

Could not agree more!!

difficult to be complimentary to the Argo's play from a commentary standpoint today...

don't be like a Bomber fan and take any negative perspective personally... those guys are comical about reaching for the torches and pitchforks at the first sign of any objective criticism of the Blue and Yellow.

Matt is awesome and so is Miller.
Quite funny at time and this is needed.
A very close second to the best play by play team anywhere in sport, Suits and Cuthbert.

I agree. I've had enough of announcers in every sport who try to whitewash poor play.

I think Dunigan does a great job.

I remember a line that went something like "is there even any point?" with regards to some strategy regarding the Argos, but overall I like Dunigan. Like others have said, calls it like it is. The only thing kind of annoying that I can think of off-hand is any play having to do with recievers he says "I know Jock and Milt will have something to say about that in the studio".

Dunigan is awesome as colour guy. Tells it how he sees it as well as being quick to lay the blame where it belongs for failed plays. (ie: receiver misses ball we all think he should have caught but Dunigan tells us just how really hard that catch to make)

I also never saw anything anti-Argo in anything he says. One would find him consistent for every team if one takes the blue/red/black/etc... blinders off.

I disagree with you RICKEARS. I thought Dunigan was fair in his assessment of the Argos performance today. You can polish a turd all you want but it's still a turd and that's what the Argos played like today.

I don't think that would actually work. Hence, "You can't polish a turd".

Bleeds Double Blue that turd line is like a line from a Supersuckers song who are one of my favorite bands.

We need more Matt and Millar as they work great together.

I was surprised when Ball had that "facemasking" call on the 1st Montreal drive, I noticed Matt said it was a bad call. Then said the Argos can't be taking those penalties, then later said it was a bad call. Other than that bit of confusion, I thought he & Miller did fine considering the game was a bit of a dog.

I'm a fan of Dunigan as a commentator also. It was funny, during the Rider game in the 4th quarter I'm pretty sure Suitor belched off camera. Other than that he and Cuthbert are pretty good too.

Dunigan is great, in the studio or as the colour guy. The Argos were just plain bad today. Nothing Dunigan can do to hide that.

Love Gord Miller doing the play by play. Football and/or hockey. He's one of he best.

I can't stand Suitor. He's too much of a Madden wannabe.

I noticed sometimes he gets a bit confused between the general idea (don't take those penalties) and the exact idea. (The bad call) Not surprising considering where his head was/is.

Yeah well, he makes those same mistakes on his (very cool) cooking show.

But seriously, I'm still ticked that Dunigan was released after leading the Argos to a Grey Cup in '91.

He sacrificed himself, and his shoulder, for the Team.

That is, I suppose, what all Football players do, but Matt deserved better.

Matty and Miller are the best play by play tandem tsn has imo. The guy is nothing but a bundle of energy when he gets in front of a mic.

I like when he defers to Jock & Milt ; plus ,he DOES call it like it is

I am a big Duane Ford fan.....best colour guy on TSN....very calm demeanor, does a great job explaining plays.

Yes, but unfortunately for him, the figure skating/gymnastics guy brings him down.

All the colour guys on CFL games do a great job with Suitor doing the best imo.

Agreed.
Suits with Cuthbert for me are the best in any sport.

Agreed.
Suits with Cuthbert for me are the best in any sport.How can you compare them? Based on your comments here, you apparently don't watch many (any?) other sports.
