TSN’s Dave Naylor joins the CFL ON TSN panel to analyze the results of the 2015 CFL ON TSN Player Poll alongside host Rod Smith and analysts Chris Schultz, Milt Stegall, and Jock Climie during the CFL ON TSN pre-game show tonight (Friday, Nov. 6) at 7 p.m. ET on TSN1, TSN3, and TSN5. The pre-game show leads into tonight’s CFL ON TSN game featuring Winnipeg @ Toronto.
TSN’s Matthew Scianitti conducts a one-on-one interview with Lawrence, which will be available on TSN.ca, along with in-depth written analysis of the #CFLPlayerPoll by Naylor.
The #CFLPlayerPoll surveys more than half the players in the CFL, with players from all nine teams casting ballots. CFLers were asked to name one player for each of the categories in the poll and were not allowed to choose a member of their own team. Players were also asked to answer the questions privately and anonymously in an attempt to obtain the most candid results possible.
