On this edition of Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜MOJ on SportsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™, host Bob Marjanovich talks with Glen Suitor.

SuitorÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s professional football career began in 1986 when he was drafted by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he played as a defensive back for ten seasons. During his time with the Roughriders, Suitor was a three-time CFL All-Star, a two-time CFL West Division All-Star, and a Grey Cup champion in 1989.

Suitor retired from professional football in 1995, finishing his career with 47 interceptions, 19 quarterback sacks, and 551 tackles and he was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 2011.

Suitor joins Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜The MojÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ to talk about his playing and broadcasting career, including Carson Graham and Simon Fraser University.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜Four years at S.F.U., I played corner all four years. Got to meet guys like Jay Triano, he was a great basketball player as you know, but tried out for the football team and we were actually roommates for a year. I learned a lot about just approaching every practice and every day with great maturity from JayÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™.

Suitor transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a color commentator for TSNÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s CFL broadcasts.

Ï㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥˜What made the difference was that we had won in 89 and I just kept looking at my ring and I kept thinking, thatÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s why you play to be part of a championship. And IÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™ve been able to live that and experience that. So maybe this opportunity itÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s time to take that leap and take the step into a new business and a new world and retire from footballÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™.
