    Actually we are hearing about concussions in sports like soccer and gymnastics. I don't believe for a second that this is just a fad that will pass. Parents are becoming acutely conscious of the...

    I saw Rugby 7s at Pan-Am Games and it was tremendously exciting and entertaining. Working against it breaking out here, IMO, is the lack of regularly televised matches from around the world, and the...

    IMO soccer is only going to grow in popularity in North America. The English Premier League is becoming a mainstay on TV here, the World Cup is the only true worldwide best-on-best competition in...

    There's no question that everything is available if you hunt for it, but I would wager that less than 1% of NHL fans spend any of their brain bandwidth pondering hockey overseas. Some might try to...

    I think Toronto (like the rest of Canada) is increasingly polarized politically, not more liberal. There's no centre any more, just hard right and hard left. If the PCs win the provincial election, I...

    The CFL is the second-best pro football league in the world, but the comparison to hockey and baseball isn't particularly relevant IMO. No one in this market has easy access to those leagues, and the...

    Nice cut and paste but sorry, nothing in it refers in any way to Manning as a "sporting genius" or all of us as "lemmings." Your clear implication in making that comment was that some posters seem to...

    So an executive is going to do only a so-so job because he's not passionate about part of his brief? Wouldn't that be a career-limiting strategy?...

    It's easy to polish a turd when it exists only in someone's mind. I don't expect you to change your position, but perhaps you can answer this: Must one seek a job opportunity in order to be good at...

    I for one am very glad we have real grass -- much better than even the best turf, IMO. The end zone issue is a bummer, but I think solutions can be found. The idea of putting grass in there for each...

    Turf on the full field is not gonna happen, so making sure the turf sections are as close as possible to real grass is necessary. If that means replacing the turf, they should do it. There must be...

    There's zero evidence that McNall had anything to do with Candy's death, and no reason he should still be incarcerated. McNall served close to six years for fraud. This type of casual damnation of...

    The Candy era, specifically 1991, is when blackouts started being lifted in Toronto. Virtually every game since then (except for a few that were not televised anywhere) has been available on TV in...

    I understand the front office departures take effect today. In addition to Dykstra, marketing/merch director Tyler Puley has also been moved out and the word I get is that "most of the senior team"...

    Yes, and IMO it is insane to sit and bake in the sun and humidity for three hours. I've done it, and won't ever do it again. So glad my Argos seats are on the west side.

    Hard to see how putting someone who is a player within MLSE in charge of the Argos could be a bad thing. If Rogers agreed to buy in just to keep Tanenbaum happy or some other ulterior motive, maybe...
