PTS just now. McGown and Brunt are confident........

So any mea culpas from either Brunt or Mccowan ?

Not sure what that means but all McCown is doing is slagging the argos even more.

Where is Brunt these days anyway? I haven't heard hide nor hair of him in a while.

Dissapears to NFLD for fishing this time of year i think

Mea culpa - as in - I was wrong about it. What has McCowan been saying ?



I understand the need for a media know it all not to be proven wrong but I dont understand McCowans lust for argo / CFL failure. Goes way beyond Rogers' institutional bias .

Who/what/how/when from the league or Argos whizzed on his pant leg ? Did he get stiffed for free GC tickets ? "Windows" wont rip up his bar tab anymore ?

I think there are 2 things that can pinpoint McCowan's ant CFL feelings.
1)He had a group in the running to get a franchise in Las Vegas during the US expansion era and the league chose Nick Mileti's group instead. Poor choice by the league, but no proof McCowan's group would have done better.
2) The way his buddies C&S left as owners. I really think he took that personally.

I recall McCown and Cox speaking positively of the Argos at the beginning of the C & S ownership. The turning point, I guess, for most of the FAN personalities was whenever (i) Braley took over the team and (ii) the radio rights went to TSN 1050 and pro-CFL personalities such as Hogan and Landry were let go.

If I were to guess, he has a grudge against the league because it was revealed that Braley bankrolled McCown's buddies, Cynamon and Sokolowski. Also, he is still upset about the league not reintroducing gate equalization payments (i.e., revenue sharing) when C & S asked for it just before selling the team to Braley. Finally, McCown was on the 2007 Grey Cup committee and, while that Grey Cup was a success, he is upset that the 2012 Grey Cup is seen as a larger success and that the federal government gave the 2012 Grey Cup committee additional funds to work with.

wasn't there also something about him not being on the 2012 grey cup committee that he's ticked about too?
