Marshall Ferguson (@TSN_Marsh) is the play-by-play man for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League, and the co-host of the Marsh and Melo show on TSN 1150 in Hamilton. Ferguson was also a quarterback himself, playing for the McMaster Marauders university football team and was a game away from winning a Vanier Cup against the Université de Montréal Carabins at Molson Stadium in 2014. He’s been covering Johnny Manziel pretty closely, the former star Texas A&M and NFL quarterback who resurfaced in Canada with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last month. We got to speak to him about his coverage and how he’s looked in training camp.

April 11, 2018 13. Covering the Humboldt Broncos Tragedy with Dave Deibert
On Friday, April 6, near 5:00pm central time, a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team, was struck by a semi-truck trailer. The team was making its way to Nipawin, Saskatchewan for a playoff game. The collision sent both vehicles into a ditch located at the intersection they met at. Dave Deibert (@davedeibert) is an online editor at The Saskatoon StarPhoenix and mixed-martial-arts reporter for the Postmedia News chain. He’s among the many reporters from The StarPhoenix who’ve been reporting on the accident since Friday. We got to speak to him about his work reporting on the tragedy.
