Bo Levi Mitchell pushes back on Luke Willson’s CFL criticism: ‘Tell me it’s not exciting’

Willson, a LaSalle, Ont. native who played eight seasons as a tight end in the NFL, performed sideline analysis during Friday night’s game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Argonauts. The 35-year-old later took to social media to post a long, critical note that has since garnered almost 300,000 views.

In the message, Willson called the game “hot garbage,” citing the high number of penalties and quarterback sneaks, Saskatchewan being awarded a point after missing a 33-yard field goal, Toronto’s high number of late-game check-down passes, an overall lack of deep throws, and the Argonauts being short a man on Mario Alford’s last-minute 99-yard return touchdown. He also accused the league itself and members of the media of telling “bold face lies” in order to “protect the game.”

Hell of an analyst y'all found, TSN.
