TSN's latest acquisition Brian Williams, will be front and center again on Friday Night football as he interviews Argo running back Ricky Williams, in what is described as a candid conversation.
Williams (the Argonaut one) gives an indication of his philosophy about sport and life and the issues in the USA that brought him to an Argonaut uniform. Previews of the interview have been put on the TSN website and are available for viewing, the Friday Night pre game show gets underway at 7:30 EST and 4:30 PST just prior to the Argonaut/Blue Bomber match from Winnipeg.
TSN added Williams to their Friday Night roster last week after he was cut loose by the CBC, Williams had signed a long term deal with CTV for their Olympic Broadcasts and the CBC decided that it would be better for all concerned if Williams took his leave sooner rather than later. His first assignment was an indepth interview with Tom Wright who is under the gun with his ownership groups over his handling of CFL issues.
His move to CTV means he's available to TSN for assignments and should fit in quite nicely with their well rounded football coverage each weekend.
The above post first appeared on my Twelve Men on the Field blog, a look at Canadian Football.
