It was my decision. It was mine and I wanted it that way. And I was ready to move on. I was never going to get an ending like we had in 2011. I would never get the rollercoaster ride that was that season. And then march that into playoffs. Into a Grey Cup in Vancouver for the only team I've played for, to go win it that year and to go out a champion under the lights where you called home for the last 11 years,’ said Johnson.

It’s much bigger in the working world or the corporate world outside of the athletics world.’ You will find ‘Moj on Sports’ podcasts on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart and Google podcasts and MojonSports.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Suitor joins ‘The Moj’ to talk about his playing and broadcasting career, including Carson Graham and Simon Fraser University. ‘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 Jay’. Suitor transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a color commentator for TSN's CFL broadcasts. ‘What made the difference was that we had won in 89 and I just kept looking at my ring and I kept thinking, that's why you play to be part of a championship. And I've been able to live that and experience that. So maybe this opportunity it's time to take that leap and take the step into a new business and a new world and retire from football’.
