June 19, 2014: Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Toronto Argonauts

[AngeloV]

Angelo will be happy to hear Frank Zicarelli ask the first few questions.

He kind of sounds like an even stupider version of Nick Tortelli (Carla's ex husband on Cheers for us older people).

[Neely2005]

Its general admission ... so I assume get there early or you will be in standing room around the track ? Is this correct?

It's General Admission but there are 5000 seats and they can only sell 5000 tickets so you won't have to stand.

[Wobbler]

His questions about Romby Bryant were a bit weird. Based on Milanovich's responses I see no reason to conclude that Bryant had an exceptional camp. And as a vet, why was there any question of whether he understood the offense?!

OK, now I understand why Zicarelli was asking about Bryant. His new article focuses on Delano Johnson, but he also points out that it was during the Varsity game last year that Bryant broke a bunch of ribs. I had forgotten about that.

general admission but IIRC they had blocked off the middle section for season ticket holders last year or something to that effect....

great day for some football looking forward to it

The way it worked last year is that certain sections were blocked off base on the price level you paid for your season tickets.

Yeah it doesn't look like they're doing that this year. (Judging by the tickets)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression TSN 1050 was broadcasting the game. There is some soccer game on instead. How disappointing.

TSN.ca is also broadcasting (no audio broadcasting though) the game, but you have to be a Bell or Rogers subscriber.

Yes, CFL "Games on Demand" are no longer accessible to non-victims of Bell or Rogers.

I'd pay a reasonable amount to watch only CFL games (i.e., PPV over broadband). I wouldn't pay a dime to subscribe to any cable, etc., package.

Thanks Snowrogue. TSN radio now has the Argo game on.

[LLB997]

900 am in Ham has the game on.

[Qman]

this game live on 1050

[gilthethrill]

Sounds like Johnson and Slaton are playing great at RB...D-line sounds really fast according to Hoagie, all qbs are having success. Cuts are going to be tough to make.

[LLB997]

game has been announced as a sellout. good to hear.

Nothing wrong with that, except it's sad due to the what 5000+ limit.

[Argo]

Sounds like an invigorated performance by the Argos c/w glorious weather and everyone close to the action.

A nice problem to have (cf. Winnipeg's "international" kicker). Though (for example) the idea of more or less having to ditch one of Johnson, Slaton is quite unpalatable.

[Argo]

"The Argonauts totalled 359 yards passing while 8 quarterback sacks were posted in the victory."

Bliss (although Romeus wasn't built in a day).

Here are the results for the CFL.ca website's player of the game, with Mitchell Gale and Jeremiah Johnson tying for the lead. The fact that six of the seven players were Argos reflects the Argos' dominance in the game.

QBs: Ray looked to be in mid-season form. Harris looked pretty good initially, but it looks like he may have struggled a bit after his interception. I had gone to the bathroom at that point and was talking to ArgoAnia who was sitting at ground level so I was unable to tell what he was struggling with towards the end of the half. Gale didn't look out of place certainly. Milanovich apparently has already anointed Harris as the #2.

RBs: A tough decision here for sure.

WRs: I'd love to try to keep both Darvin Adams and Terrelle Sinkfield on the roster.

Defense: 9 sacks but against a patchwork Hamilton D. Lots of speed in the secondary, they got beat a few times, but were also able to close in on receiver as ball arrived to make a play.
