Shawn Lemon, Simoni Lawrence joining DAZN's CFL broadcast team

Lemon in particular makes sense, what with his extensive gambling background and knowledge. Did I say gambling? I meant football.


A bit surprising because Argos HC Mike Miller already said he wanted Lemon back to play.

I listen to the radio broadcasts of some of the games...

Simoni Lawrence was on the Ticats broadcast, and he is quite entertaining. He's actually funny, unlike most of the football panel comediens we get.


Unrelated... since it now looks likely that Quebec City is getting a CFL team

Do we forgive the commish?

Quebec City... it's a great place. LOTS of things to do.

DAZN adds James Cybulski, Brit Dort to CFL broadcasts

Brit Dort will host the panel.

Looks like everyone is in place now.
Cybulski forms a tandem with Shawn Lemon in the booth, while Dort will be on the desk with Chris Streveler and Simoni Lawrence.

First in hearing of it. If you have something, start a new thread.

If the 50 is the only reason we got a tenth team, then I'll consider going easy on stewj. But he still should have just come out day one and spelled it out. Treat fans as intelligent, not as rubes.

How long would it take a new CFL team to get up and running without an existing stadium?  Min. 3 years, a lot can happen in 3 years.
