Rogers Sportsnet is beefing up its lineup for the CFL season as former CFL All-Star Willie Pless and two-time Grey Cup winner Sandy Annunziata join Sportsnet Connected as CFL analysts starting with the 2010 CFL Preview Show on Sunday, June 27 at 8 p.m. (ET)/7 p.m. (MT)/(PT) on all Sportsnet channels and Sportsnet HD channels.

Jim Lang will host the hour-long preview show with Annunziata and former B.C. Lion Giulio Caravatta providing analysis in-studio, as well as Pless, from Edmonton. Pless was an 11-time CFL All-Star linebacker with stops in Toronto, B.C., Edmonton and Saskatchewan. Offensive guard Annunziata won Grey Cups in 2004 with the Toronto Argonauts and in 2005 with the Edmonton Eskimos.

The preview show will include in-depth reports on all eight teams:

-- Reporter Louis Jean sits down with Montreal Alouettes general manager Jim Popp to discuss his future in Montreal, his team's chances of defending their championship and whether he could be heading south to the NFL.

-- Jim Barker is the fifth Toronto Argonaut coach in the last two-and-half seasons and inherits a team that has been an absolute mess on the football field over the past two years. Reporter Arash Madani talks to Barker about righting the ship for a franchise that the league needs to be successful.

-- Madani also goes one-on-one with Hamilton Tiger-cats QB Kevin Glenn about the expectations of the team after their playoff appearance last season.

-- Lang looks at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who have brought in one of the most sought-after young coaches in the league in Paul Lapolice.

-- Rod Pedersen checks in with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as they recover from a bitter defeat in the Grey Cup last season. The team looks to ride the offence after losing four defenders in the off-season.

-- Will the Calgary Stampeders contend for the Grey Cup once again after falling short in the West Final last season? Roger Millions reports on whether Ken-Yon Rambo can recover from an ACL injury in 2009 to return as the league's best receiver this season.

-- Reporter Jamie Thomas gets acquainted with Edmonton Eskimos head coach Richie Hall who will take over defensive coordinator duties for a team that struggled at times on the defensive side of the ball.

-- After failures in Hamilton and the NFL, QB Casey Printers is back with the B.C. Lions where he enjoyed his most professional success. Reporter Craig MacEwen examines what will be different for Printers this time around.

Pless, Annunziata and recently-retired Montreal Alouette centre Brian Chiu, also a multiple Grey Cup winner, will also appear weekly on Connected over the course of the CFL season to preview and review league games. Reporter Rod Pedersen joins Connected to cover the Saskatchewan Roughriders while Bryan Munz will file Connected reports on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers throughout the season. Caravatta and current Lions defensive end Brent Johnson will continue to discuss the Leos with host Don Taylor for Pacific Connected.

In addition, sportsnet.ca CFL columnist Perry Lefko will breakdown one team each day on the website leading up to the start of the season on Thursday, July 1st.
