Jennifer Garner (Play-by-Play): Alright Kay, here in the beautiful brand new crown jewel of the league Air Canada Park we have the roof open again on a bright sunny picture-esque day here in Eastern Canada. There's expected to be more than 70,000 people that are attending the second ever game to be played here at the new stadium and the city of Norwood period. As these new Atlantic Ocean rivals meet for the first time ever as the winless Paris Bulldogs come in here desperate for a win against the undefeated Norwood Octans here in week #3 of the WFL season.

Jennifer Garner: Hi there everyone, welcome to the WFL on ICE apart of ICE's Wide World of Sports brand alongside my two friends Jared Padalecki and Olivia Munn providing the color for this afternoon's affair. We'll hear from our sideline reporter 'LG Red' Lauren Gardner in just a few moments.

Jennifer Garner: Alright guys it's week 3 and we don't want to get overly worried about the Paris Bulldogs but they need a win today as they're in danger of starting this season 0-3 but help is on the way if they lose this game.

Jared Padalecki (Color Commentator): You're exactly right Jennifer it's only week 3 but time is running out to save this season as Paris has a tough schedule and they need to start winning these games to keep their hopes of winning the AFC or a World Bowl title alive.

Jared Padalecki: Help is on the way in the name of Vika Bronova who's going to be their new starting quarterback starting next Sunday not this Sunday because she just joined the team yesterday. They're going to roll out Jenna McConnell again who's going to Boston after this game to play with the Alfonso sisters who just won another game yesterday. They're also getting Yulia and Joel Osmond and maybe Noor Van Der Beek as well so help is indeed on the way.

Jared Padalecki: The one thing that's killed this Paris team are the mistakes they've been really sloppy with the football as they gave up 43 points in their loss to the Detroit Fury last week and I think this defense has let way too much slip through they need to tighten up on all of that stuff today if they want to get their first win of the season.

Jennifer Garner: Olivia, we turn it over to you right now as Norwood comes in here undefeated but they have gone through a significant change on their roster this past week as their best player Eva Adams got traded to the western part of the country to join up with the Vancouver Grizzlies this week to replace Dasha Dereviankina meanwhile Norwood gets a brand new player today making her league debut in Michi Kat Grimes.

Olivia Munn (Color Commentator): That's right Jennifer it's pretty much out with Eva Adams and in with Michi Kat Grimes as MKG is expected to come in here right away and be the leader of this defense and of this entire team but this is her first game after serving a lengthy prison sentence.

Olivia Munn: I talked to MKG yesterday and she told me that she was working with an inmate getting her body trained she was also in the prison's boxing club to work on her handwork to get by these offensive linemen in this league so we'll see what her game shape is as she tries to dust away all the rust as everybody else has played at least two games this season and two practice games before that as well.

Olivia Munn: MKG is their prized player so this is a big deal to be doing her first game today as the crowd looks super excited to welcome MKG with open arms as she's gritty just like this city and she's a Canadian kid although she claims Detroit as well so it should be big-time.

Jennifer Garner: Olivia this Octan the Pirate squad also has some other good players on this team who have attributed to this undefeated record starting with the veteran Thandie Clark.

Olivia Munn: Yes, Thandie Clark is that wise ole veteran original drafted into NITRO way back in 2010 she has been the heart of this team as she's been receiving the ball very well this season from their star quarterback Amanda Marleau.

Olivia Munn: Amanda Marleau has been one of the most underrated quarterbacks in this league but all she does is figure out a way to win and she's been doing a great job of getting her fellow rookie Keri Nee Adkins the football she's gonna cause plenty of matchup problems for this Paris secondary here today.

Olivia Munn: Helping MKG out on defense today is linebacker Antonina Petkovic who is off to a great start this season playing under the radar due to the stardom from Eva and MKG but Antonina comes to put on her hard hat everyday and comes ready to hit people and work extremely hard every game so we expect no different from her today.

Olivia Munn: Coach Nadja Bender says she expects her team to keep up the same level of intensity that they were playing with when Eva was here the first two games of the season but she knows the Bulldogs coming in desperate for a win will be a huge challenge for her team. Coach Bender says that her team had a very good week of practice with their new teammate and they expect to come out here today and get their third straight win to open up this new season.

Jennifer Garner: Jared let's get back to these Paris French Bulldogs and spotlight a few of their players who are going to be key here today.

Jared Padalecki: We gotta start with the 22-year old legend named Allison Shields right?

Jared Padalecki: What a start that Allison has gotten off to this season as she's been matchup nightmare for the London and Detroit secondaries the last two weeks doing everything on offense except running the football. Allison went to her hometown of Detroit and got booed mercilessly but she shut them up quite a few times during that game and she will be asked to do that here today as well.

Jared Padalecki: Another player I got in the spotlight here is their running back Topanga Jamora who has also gotten off to a great start in her rookie career. Topanga is just a pure power runner and she really punishes defenses for having the right kind of tackling technique to get her down and sometimes you need at least a couple of players or more to get her thicc frame down.

Jennifer Garner: Did you just say thicc?

Jared Padalecki: Yes I did Jennifer but she is a bruising force there in the backfield for them and if Norwood wants this game today they're going to have to find a way to cool down both Allison and Topanga and force others on that team to get the ball.

Jennifer Garner: On that note let's send it down to "LG Red" Lauren Gardner for our sideline update.

Lauren Gardner (Sideline Reporter): Good afternoon guys as we are live down here in front of a full house with the roof open again as gameday directors want the early season atmosphere to be on display before the roof closes as the weather cools up here in the fall.

Lauren Gardner: Vika Bronova, Yulia Osmond, and her brother Joel are watching from the sidelines today and I just spoke to all three of them not too long ago and all of them were noticeably happy and in good spirits. I think Vika and Yulia looked really relieved to finally be away from ICE and both of them said today is an opportunity to learn and see how their team plays in person before they start their Bulldogs careers next week.

Lauren Gardner: Vika told me that she's getting up to speed here trying to learn the playbook as fast as she can so that her offense can put together some wins here but she said she's already been welcomed with open arms by her new receiver Allison Shields who took her to dinner after practice last night. She said Allison will get her fully up to speed all week during practice and that they should have a pretty solid connection next Sunday against the New Orleans for Vika's debut on the team.

Lauren Gardner: As for the Osmonds starting with Joel he's one of the few male players in the league right now as he will be responsible for blocking Vika's blindside next week and he said it's a huge responsibility but he's ready and he's just glad to be playing professionally as he was responsible for Team NBC's huge win over ICE last season which caused the dramatic shift in ICE's roster and for Allison to be traded away from that studio. Yulia told me that she's getting acclimated herself as she's also catching passes from Vika next week and learning behind Allison's lead as well.

Lauren Gardner: Jennifer that's going to do it from down here on the field, let's send it back to you and the crew.

Jennifer Garner: Okay LG Red, let's get into today's Home Depot Keys to Victory for today's game for both teams.

1. Jenna McConnell must take this crowd out of the game and use her weapons early and soundly.

2. Paris needs to take care of the football better and avoid those costly mistakes that cost them their first two games of the season.

3. Norwood must play off of the energy of their rookie Michi Kat Grimes in order to sustain the loss of Eva Adams.

Jennifer Garner: IT IS THE 1ST ALL-TIME MEETING BETWEEN THE BULLDOGS AND THE OCTANS!!!!!

Jennifer Garner: It's simple for Paris, win and you avoid the 0-3 hole.

Jennifer Garner: For Norwood all of their momentum rides on today's performance here at home in MKG's debut.

Jennifer Garner: COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF CONTINUES AS IT'S WEEK 3 IN THE WFL LIVE FROM NORWOOD.

Jennifer Garner: YOU'RE WATCHING THE WFL ON ICE AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON FEVER BEGINS NEXT ON ICE DAYTIME!!!!

Jennifer Garner: ENJOY YOUR FULL DAY OF FOOTBALL EVERYONE!

London Invasion (2-0) @ Quebec Nordiques (0-2)
at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Québec

First on the Field Time: 11:52 AM EST (11:52 AM EST/Local Time)
Kickoff Time: 12:03 PM EST (12:03 PM EST/Local Time)
Game Weather: Indoors
Game Attendance: 66,308

Mike Tirico (Play-by-Play): Okay Brandon, welcome to Montreal in the province of Québec where we are playing indoors under the dome at historic Olympic Stadium on a bright sunny day outside today. We are expecting a sold out crowd of more than 66,000 people for the second home game of the season for these Quebec Nordiques who come into this game winless looking for their first victory of the season today. They face an undefeated and very good talented London Invasion team led by their leader Megan May Williams.

Mike Tirico: Hi everyone, welcome to the WFL on NBC back from our trip yesterday to Boston to watch the team that beat these same Nordiques last week in an embarrassing game for Vika Bronova's first game in her hometown but some big changes have happened since that game. I'm here with my partners Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, and Mike Florio who we'll hear from him in just a little bit.

Mike Tirico: With these big changes for the Nordiques they swap out their hometown quarterback Vika Bronova and send her overseas to Paris for Vikky Lee who they got from Australia Aussies and this is great timing because not only does this team need her services badly being down 0-2 to start this new season but she's also coming off a pretty big game last Monday night against the Jacksonville Stripes. Luckily for the Nordiques, they were able to get Vikky through a full week of practice with her new team since she didn't change studios like Vika did.

Mike Tirico: Tony this move right here could change the course of Montreal's season.

Tony Dungy (Color Commentator): Well Mike you're right because we all know how talented this Quebec Nordiques team really is and the problem has been the distractions surrounding the quarterback position and they've got someone in here who's not just good but seems to get along very well with the players on the team in Vikky Lee who has really given this team the recharge during this week of practice that they needed as we talked to team leaders Airee Brooks and Lulu Leithold about Vikky and they said she has given them a lot this week already and expect positive results in today's game.

Tony Dungy: Vika Bronova is one of the most talented quarterbacks in this league and I think she will do very well in Paris but this team was not a good fit for her as there was too much sideshow drama going on and this team doesn't need behind the scenes drama affecting them as they are a young and immature who can easily get distracted by those types of things.

Tony Dungy: This city is so excited about Vikky Lee's huge arrival here today as she's been the feature talk on the news and magazines all week and so we'll see if she can overcome all of this hype and just focus on getting the Nordiques their first win of the season and turn the page on two huge losses to start this season against potential playoff teams in Milwaukee and Boston.

Mike Tirico: Tony, it definitely seems to be a different mood around here unlike the thrashing from the Hoods in their home opener last week and we now look Rodney to get a breakdown on this London Invasion team who comes in here undefeated and looking very impressive on defense.

Rodney Harrison (Color Commentator): Yeah this London team comes in here playing no games their leader Megan May Williams is one of the best defensive players on the team and she leads by example on this team and these girls follow her lead really well. She's been a monster these first two games getting 11 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, and 2 sacks in their game last week against Chicago, and the thing about it is too Mike this team is getting it done against a couple of good teams in Paris and Chicago these first two weeks of the season.

Rodney Harrison: The two Georgia girls Georgia May Foote and Georgia Grace Martin have been playing some good defense with Megan May Williams but I do think this is the type of game where not having enough help could matter as the Invasion are facing the best offense they've played out of these first three so they're all going to be tested.

Rodney Harrison: And then offensively it starts with their quarterback Farah Holt who is turning into a major superstar before our eyes. Farah Holt is one of the more brilliant quarterbacks in the game as she uses her smarts to go along with her skills to make these effective passes. Farah Holt has some weapons around her to make it tough on this Quebec defense today as she has Maya Owens in that backfield as she's one of the fastest backs in this league and on the outside she has Joanna Halpin who is one of the better receivers in the game right now and Marloes Horst complimenting her then Valerie O'Brien who is one of the best tight ends, as well as she, blocks really well.

Rodney Harrison: Trust me Mike and Tony this offense has a chance to be explosive at anytime so the Nordiques better stay on their toes in today's game that's for sure.

Mike Tirico: Tony back to you for a sec as I want you to share with us your thoughts on this team firing Anais Pouliot after last Sunday's game and have promoted their defensive coordinator Caity Lotz to replace her and trading Shannon Pouliot to the Stars as well.

Tony Dungy: Well we know there was bad blood between the coaching staff and the rest of the team and Shannon Pouliot needed to be moved as well. Firing a coach like Anais Pouliot sometimes is the right move and in this case it was as you bring in a new quarterback with some new energy on this team.

Tony Dungy: Moving Vika Bronova out too was another move that sent a signal to the team that what we did before is out and we're going to save our season in week 3 right now. Hanna Edwinson was moved out as well as she's going to join Vika in Paris next week.

Tony Dungy: We sat down with their new coach Caity Lotz who was their defensive coordinator and I can relate to Caity being a defensive coach myself before I became a head coach and how you prepare the team in your first week. Caity noticed that her team had renewed energy during practice and they were ready to play this week as things are different as I don't think we're going to see the same team we've seen those first two weeks.

Tony Dungy: I do think the players on this team are gonna have to step up as this team is less talented than what they've been the first two weeks of the season so I'd be curious to see how this shapes out for them here today.

Mike Tirico: Caity seems very excited so we'll see how this turns out for her today and Mike Florio joins us talking a little further about these moves from the Nordiques this week.

Mike Florio (Sideline Reporter): Yes Mike, a lot of changes for the Nordiques as we know that Anais Pouliot was fired right after the game last Sunday from management, and then they wanted to flush out anybody who was a problem such Vika Bronova and Hanna Edwinson who are both going to Paris and will be eligible to play next week for them. Then Shannon Pouliot because of her relation to Anais Pouliot joined her and Anais actually got added to that coaching staff on the Los Angeles Stars.

Mike Florio: The big move that had to be made was figuring who they wanted to replace at Vika as they weren't interested in Jenna McConnell so they looked elsewhere and heard that Australia was going to deal away Vikky Lee for draft picks so the Kangaroos could pick their quarterback of the future next season.

Mike Florio: As soon as Vikky was done with her game on Monday night they made the deal and Vikky learned right after the ballgame that she was headed to Quebec and it wasn't a big deal for her although she was disappointed about not playing for her hometown team but she knows the girls on this team very well and she is ready for the challenge of pulling this team back into playoff contention.

Mike Florio: The team has less talent on it with Vika, Hanna, and Shannon all out but they think the chemistry will be much improved and they aren't done as they will try to add in another player or two in the coming weeks so stay tuned there.

Mike Tirico: Okay thank you Mike for that report as we're going onto our Google Play Store Do Projects Smarter keys for today's game.

1. Both teams are talented but have massive holes on both sides of the football so whoever takes advantage wins this game.

2. Quebec has gotten off to a shitty start and needs to get back on track with a new head coach and new starting quarterback.

3. London must come in here and quiet this crowd as it gets super loud here in the dome making communication difficult so attack early and don't give them hope.

Mike Tirico: IT IS THE 1ST ALL-TIME MEETING BETWEEN THE INVASION AND THE NORDIQUES!!!!!

Mike Tirico: A lot of stars for you this afternoon as one of these two teams won't be undefeated or winless after this game is over.

Mike Tirico: Another exciting edition of the WFL on NBC is next but first a word from our sponsors.

Katie Daryl (Play-by-Play): It's time for some revenge play as these Toronto Icegals come in here angry after dropping in what's being called the biggest upset in WFL history to date when they lost to Madison Beer and the New York Hitmen last week. We're in the SIX up here in ICE country and it's unfortunate for the Washington Americans who could be used as their punching bag today as they get ready for the big game against Los Angeles Stars next week. It's a bright sunny day and 70 degrees in early October as we're expecting another sellout of 54,000 fans here at Rogers Centre.

Katie Daryl: Welcome everybody to the WFL on ROD alongside my partners here Mina Kimes and Darin Brooks providing the color for this afternoon's tilt. We'll hear from our sideline reporter Jenny Dell in just a few moments.

Katie Daryl: It's been a long week for these Icegals coming off of a bad loss to the New York Hitmen and this week they gotta correct the tide because the LA Stars are waiting for them next week and get their record back over .500 this season.

Katie Daryl: Mina we're going to start with you first as the Icegals still got a major problem they've gotta solve at this quarterback position on rather or not Lindsey Visser who sits behind Ophelie Guillermand is ready to start just yet as she was impressive in her time behind center last week.

Mina Kimes (Color Commentator): That's the thing Katie we just don't know when this coaching staff is ready to pull the trigger as we did talk to Head Coach Emily Senko yesterday about how she wants to play this and there's good news. She said she will continue to monitor their starting quarterback for today's game Ophelie Guillermand and see how she looks if they look like they need a spark she'll put Lindsey Visser back in there and if Lindsey is more impressive than Ophelie then it's really possible that Lindsey could make her first start next Sunday against the Stars.

Mina Kimes: Emily Senko is a brand new head coach in this league pretty much a rookie so this is going to be her first major decision as a coach so all eyes are on her.

Mina Kimes: This team is back at home today and expected to be extremely motivated as they're a championship contender based on their talent they have the most talent in the league amongst any team and for them it's going to start with their offense can Ophelie's weapons help her get off to a fast start in this game? Veterans like Paris Jackson, Madison Pettis, Dove Cameron, Shawn Travolta, Bella Thorne, Nancy Kimmell, and Gail Kimmell are gonna be asked to really step up here today.

Mina Kimes: The rookies on the defensive side behind Theresa Bush have been equally impressive as their main story continues to be that four-headed monster between Lorenea Rape, Jesse Anzalone, Ivy Herbert, and Marissa Robertson as they played well last week but they need to do better this week as Coach Senko literally doesn't want more 10 points scored on her defense here today against a less talented team in the Washington Americans.

Katie Daryl: Mina, this feels like a get back on track game here today for Toronto as it should be easy work but let's learn a little bit more about this Washington team from Darin Brooks here today. Darin, I know for you you're happy to be up here in Toronto for the first time this season to see your wife Kelly Kruger for the first time this season.

Darin Brooks (Color Commentator): Katie, it's been rough for us me being out there in Los Angeles on a daily and her being up here in Toronto but we are making sure this is a special weekend for us before I fly back to LA to go and meet Dasha Dereviankina.

Katie Daryl: Well I'm glad you too do have a chance to see each other this weekend but let's continue on here with Washington how do they have any chance of an upset here today?

Darin Brooks: Let's be realistic they probably don't have any chance of an upset as they've started this season 0-2 but they're going to play hard especially in that first half making things difficult on Ophelie Guillermand so both teams could get off to a slow start.

Darin Brooks: For the Americans it's gonna start and end with Kelly Rohrbach at quarterback she's gonna need to play lights out for them to have a chance and Pam Strother leads the defense and today she'll be asked to do everything in today's game to keep these Icegals detained.

Katie Daryl: Mina let's get back to you to talk a little further about Lindsey Visser who is a really great wide receiver but her team might need her more at quarterback here today.

Mina Kimes: This is exactly why I mentioned earlier that Coach Senko is hesitant to pull the trigger because she knows how great Lindsey Visser has been at receiver and is she becomes the quarterback well now Paris Jackson and Penny Perchik will both be asked to really step up but Nancy Kimmell can be the #2 receiver and run those long routes and they can keep Penny Perchik and Lisa Grantham there in the slot but we'll see how it goes ultimately for them. If you guys remember last week we had Lisa struggling due to a personal issue with her father so hopefully her head is back in the game.

Mina Kimes: I think what you could see today is a lot of action from their tailback Audreyana Williams who will need to run the football a ton to take pressure off of Ophelie and she's going to have to really be the driving force of the offense here today.

Mina Kimes: Back to Lindsey Visser she might be the best player on this offense and I think they're going to need her to play the quarterback position here today.

Mina Kimes: One last note about the defense as well Yareli Reyes joins the team on that side of the football and Coach Senko has made a change she moves Melissa Alonso to the EDGE position to compliment Lorenea Rape on the outside while Yareli will take her place in the linebacking core to defend passes for them.

Katie Daryl: Very good information there Mina about that decision there and Wyatt what's the feeling you've been getting since you've been up here about Lindsey Visser and Ophelie Guillermand.

Darin Brooks: It's pretty clear the locals want Lindsey Visser to replace Ophelie Guillermand like immediately at quarterback as Lindsey is a hometown kid and has turned into one of the top ICE rookies this season as her popularity has surged here in the last couple of weeks so it's easy for the fans to want her over Ophelie.

Darin Brooks: Part of the problem is too Katie, Ophelie hasn't given the restless fans here anything to be happy about after that week one victory as that loss to New York last week was so brutal and Ophelie got all of the blame especially giving up the game winning interception return for a touchdown from Madison Beer.

Katie Daryl: It's a rough situation indeed for Ophelie Guillermand here but let's now bring in our sideline reporter Jenny Dell for this game to let us know the latest from what she's heard from these players.

Jenny Dell (Sideline Reporter): Katie, I gotta tell you guys I did speak to all three parties in Lindsey Visser, Ophelie Guillermand, and Emily Senko just recently before they went back into the locker room to put on their uniforms. I also talked to Theresa Bush about her thoughts on it as one of the top leaders of the team this season.

Jenny Dell: Starting with Lindsey Visser she told me that she supports Ophelie all the way and that she will stay ready if her name is called. She thinks she had a very good week of practice as she shared the reps with Ophelie this week and is gaining more and more confidence at the quarterback position. Lindsey is pretty much ready to go if her number is called here to come in today by Coach Emily Senko.

Jenny Dell: Ophelie Guillermand told me that things are rough lately for her but she says the one thing that matters is that she has support from the team and coaching staff despite the fanbase wanting her out. Expect Ophelie to get booed louder and louder every time she messes up here today. Coach Senko says she's not going to be bullied by the fans to make a decision as she's making the decision when she feels like it needs to be made as she says if I start making decisions from the fans that's the day I get fired and Coach Senko also says that she has confidence that both ladies can go and perform well today.

Jenny Dell: Lastly, when it comes to Theresa Bush she says that was a gut check punch to the stomach with that loss last week but they practiced angrier this week and thinks the week of practice was strong and that the defense needs to do its job this week and keep the score very low on Washington's side here today. Back to you Katie!

Katie Daryl: Okay thank you Jenny for that report as we're going onto our Coors Light Taste the Keys of the Game.

WASHINGTON AMERICANS
Washington can keep this thing in check early if they take advantage of Ophelie Guillermand getting in her head.

TORONTO ICEGALS
Defense's mentality needs to be to keep Washington off the scoreboard as much as possible and not give them any confidence that they can sneak this game away.

Katie Daryl: IT IS THE 5TH ALL-TIME MEETING BETWEEN THE AMERICANS AND THE ICEGALS!!!!!

Katie Daryl: For the Toronto Icegals it's time to get back on track after the worst loss in franchise history and for the Americans to pull off the upset to get their 1st win of the season.

Katie Daryl: We'll see what happens when we return to our coverage of the WFL on ROD "You'll Say You Saw It All Happen on ROD Sports!"

[dabrotherbloodboxing]

This is so cool this reminds me of the First of the Field segments before the NFL games on CBS.

I like the back-and-forth talk between the announcers and commentators as well giving it a realistic feel as they setup the games then the sponsors as well.

I'm super interested in seeing if Paris goes 0-3 against Norwood then how Vikky Lee does against Megan May Williams' defense and then if Toronto can kill Washington and if Lindsey Visser gets in the game and becomes the starting quarterback for good the rest of the season.

[dstiles]

I'm a big fan of this as well as this makes you feel like you're a part of the broadcast.

I like the setup and this makes me really wanting to see what happens in each game.

I think my biggest interest is seeing if Toronto pulls the trigger on Lindsey Visser and what she does in this game against an easier opponent.

[ice]

I like it too and I'm glad Big Prox has worked hard to bring us more involved into the WFL games and not just make this a passive league.

I helped him out with the matchup graphics so I hope you like those as it's the same graphics I'm using for my promos.

I'm with you D. Stiles since the Toronto Icegals is my main team I'm most interested in seeing what they do at the quarterback position with Ophelie Guillermand and Lindsey Visser.

I think the way Michi Kat Grimes plays today will be interesting too and Vikky Lee's debut with the Nordiques because they're a really good talented team in Montreal.
