The TSN play by play crew -- which I consider among the worst broadcasters I have ever encountered -- strikes me as being systematically biased in their commentary. But there is no place on the TSN website to make such an observation. I know, the answer is to use the radio broadcast for the sound track, but they are at least a play behind the TV.

Cheezy and unprofessional.

Only our screen plays are so damn predictable.

I'm listening to 1040 and it's the other way around. Radio is almost 10 seconds ahead of the TV.

YMMV if you're tuning in to 1040 online at tsn.ca.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Was that a missed face mask call on Anthony Allen?

Nice Marco catch at the 3MW to sustain the drive.

In FG range in the final minute with a first down. It's just execution now FTW.
