Big news in the Rider Nation today is that the Green & White were featured on Sunday's episode of The Sopranos (episode 75 - Moe and Joe).
During one of the final scenes there is a gathering at Tony's place and they are all watching football on TV. Although you can't see the Riders playing you can clearly hear Chris Cuthbert's voice saying something like "2nd down. Greene on the rollout. Gets it away. Has a man. Threads the needle to Jamel Richardson!"
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling makes a good point about why this may have happened:
I know that American's will often use CFL games in their TV sitcoms. The reason for this is that the NFL charges way too much for the footage, while the CFL pretty much gives it away.
As long as the Riders are involved I'm all for the CFL giving away the coverage.

I watched this last night but missed the Riders. What a bad Saskatchewanite I am!
I'm sure you aren't the only one who missed it. You didn't get to actually see them so unless you were finely tuned in to the background noise you could have easily missed it.
That's true. The only thing that tuned me into it was the distinct sound of Chris Cuthbert's voice.
