I'm really liking the sound of this Matt Devlin calling P x P with Suits tonight. I gather he calls Toronto Raptors games but being that I've never watched a basketball game in my life for more than 3 minutes I've never heard of the guy. But to me he sounds like a real proper pro sports announcer rather than the usual community college broadcast school rejects that most TSN/SportsNet "talent" sounds like. Reminds me a bit of the very excellent Joe Tessitore who usually calls the Friday night college games on ESPN. Hope he's a permanent fixture and not just an Olympic fill-in.

Was wondering who that pbp was but on your final point that's prob not the case.

I was wondering who it was to. Kind of reminded me of Pat Marsdens voice.
Nice job of calling the game.
Still like Cuthbert .

Enjoyed the playcalling. Didn't have to put up with inane babbling of RB. Hope Black is not calling the Lions game tonight

i believe that RB is at the olympics! haha so i think Matt is traveling to Calgary to call our game!

You mean we've found Rod Black's replacement?

purrfect!

Devlin has called NFL games for FOX in the past so he is no stranger to football play-by-play. My only concern was that he would not have much knowledge of the CFL as he didn't arrive in Canada until 2008 but it looks like he has watched a decent amount of Canadian professional football over the last few years and Suitor seemed to step up his game last night too to make up for Devlin's CFL inexperience.

Rod black is announcing Men's Gymnastics.

Perfectly happy with that.

Does Rod Black know that a pommel horse is not an equestrian event ?
