I'll be there, too. It is my third time for an Argo/Redblack game in Ottawa and the second time this year. The Argos have won every time! Here's hoping that streak continues.

Paul, do you recall if there was an issue with respect to player compensation being adjusted/pro-rated to accommodate the increase from 16 to 18 games? I seem to remember it being reported (probably...

"Football is a business and while the optics of what happened with Mo Price aren't the best you start to understand it after a while, no loyalties on either side."

Agree with this statement. IMO...

The Argonauts' management team would most certainly benefit from this line of thinking with respect to marketing the Argo brand to young families and community organizations. Furthermore, it is...

Just to confirm, he was one of the starting receivers. In fact, Ray threw at 20-yard TD pass to Guy for Argos' only touchdown in that forgettable game.

...and conveniently tipped into S. Lawrence's awaiting mitts. And the close calls such as the two in BC, IMO, are not a reflection of Ray forcing the ball, rather it would seem to have occurred as a...

Well worth staying up for. I understand the frustration of fans in the heat of the moment when a player's performance falls short of expectations.

In my mind, however, BC Lions' defense deserves a...

I posted these broad impressions in the Tailgate thread. So, FYI, as per your request. Cheers!

The Shipyard was packed with people of all ages, Argo and Tiger-Cat fans. Supported by energetic...

I agree. I believe the Leafs would be far better served targeting a stud defenseman (via the draft) and building up their overall depth on defense with some high picks over the next few years. So...

The Shipyard was packed with people of all ages, Argo and Tiger-Cat fans. A very festive mood all round. I thought the first group (Strumbellas?) was very good, better than the second group. Being...

Thanks Paul. Yes, "pure good luck" for sure. To clarify, what I was getting at is that it seems that serendipity seems to follow when teams are performing well.

In my view, Hamilton dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, a reflection of superior preparation and execution. They performed so consistently, operating as a cohesive unit, that...

Thank you for your fine sentiments Hogie. Your support of all things football and the Argos in particular has been a beacon of hope of better times to come. And they have! Let the Argo fight song...

Bravo sir! At least more than certain myopic Toronto media types, anyway!

[With sarcasm] And all thirteen Leaf championships were achieved in a tiny (regional) six-team league and their players made peanuts and had to have jobs in the offseason....you call that major...

Make that five picks signed. First rounder Brian Jones is in the fold and attending camp!

Thanks argofan87! I'll be wearing an Argo tee shirt with the boat logo and a beige cap with, "Eastern Mountain Sports". If the weather is stable will be there bright and early.

Silly statements are inevitable when extemporary privileges are entrusted to the ranks of the mediocre of any stripe.

I am planning to make the trip down from Owen Sound for the day (weather permitting). Look forward to meeting any Forum members who are there. How would I be able to identify you?

I second this, Paul. It is clearly evident that Mr. Blundell is an accomplished master baiter.

Cheers everyone!

Welcome back Rich! What personnel do we have at present that will suit his defensive schemes? What potential free agents would be desirable/affordable to follow him here?

In short, the "impressario". In the culture of, as you cite, "some sports media", Mr. McCown has plenty of company. Unfortunately, and I speak from personal experience, he enjoys a demi-god status...

Your point is fair enough as far as it goes, Paul. However, in an electronic/cybernetic age, it could also be argued that electronic media, even the "radio talk show", like print media, is a distinct...

Bravo! A clear, concise, coherent assessment. Sadly, the landscape of sports "journalism" has been gradually muddied/eroded by creeping personal and/or corporate agendae.
