September 11, 2015: Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Toronto Argonauts

[AngeloV]

I did not watch the game, just looked at the stat sheet and the highlights. It appears that once again Owens was a non-factor. Time to start Spencer instead?

Owens made a big catch on a 3rd and 13 which was called back due to offsetting penalties. He also converted another 3rd and 8 play on the last drive which gave the Argos an opportunity to at least try and tie the game at the end. There is nothing wrong with Owens other than the fact that he is being overlooked in the offence. Hell, 3 weeks ago everybody was complaining about Coombs, and he has been great the last 3 games.

Kackert looked good as a KR. I thought Milanovich was gonna kill Hazelton after he mouthed of yet again, costing his team 10 precious yards. No complaints about lack of fight in the Argos last night. No doubt Barker is on the phones looking for a kicker & hopefully Ball, Brampton lad Muamba & Carter to help out on D.

Go Lions on Sunday. Going to be an interesting last 7 games...could care less about MLB.

LOL. You act like the CFL had a choice.

Actually the league did have a choice re: staying on OTA TV, at the time when the CFL and TSN signed in original exclusive agreement back in 07, it was confirmed that the CBC and Global (then owned by CanWest) were planning on a joint bid worth $20 million per season, of which the CFL didn't even bother looking at. Also the CFL didn't have to stay exclusive for 2014 and beyond (TSN's exclusive negotiating rights ended in Fbb. 2013), they choose to. The extension to 2021 is understandable, as it's pretty evident it was included as part of the BELL's ownership of the Argonauts.

I could see the Argos bringing back Anthony Alix for kicking duties and I would agree that Barker needs to find a way to bring Muamba, Ball and Carter, IMO they're sorely needed.

Not a huge fan of Alix....according to Drew Edwards twitter, Muamba is visiting the Ti-Cats today but will not sign today....that sucks.

Absolutely part of the evil Rogers empire, who cares about the Crap Jays and good riddance of the dome.

Sources around #cfl saying Muamba will visit three teams in next couple of days. Hamilton and Toronto confirmed.

Ok, that's good to hear.

I assume that if we signed Muamba we could play Spencer. I wouldn't be surprised, though, to see the rich get richer, with Muamba signing with the Ti-Cats, or another top-tier, financially flush (for the CFL) team c/w a superior playing facility.

Coombs looked dynamic on the highlight reel.

Yep, the Argos will have to sell Muamba on what will be happening a year from now to have any chance at signing him.

I would be pleased to see additional players and coaches brought in. Barker should have lots of Cap space for
Ricky Rays 6 day injury status. Interested to see if Braley releases the funds needed for Alix, Muamba and Ball.

I noticed that one as well, Stala didn't look too happy (with good reason), Austin is an arrogant asshole!!

I noticed seeing that on t.v as well! funny the idiot tsn announcers didn't even mention anything about the hit or how Stala wanted a go at it with Austin. Typical tsn announcers clueless and just plain bad!

This will be a good barometer as to how the Argonauts are perceived by free agents.

There was the love fest for Adrian Tracey & chatter about Thursday nights NFL game surrounding headsets....had no idea about the Stala bump until I came on the forum.

Also the endless shots of Fantuz and his stupid grin on the sidelines became an irritation after a while.

[Neely2005]

Well if Bob Young says it's OK...

Well obviously he's an impartial observer. It's not like he would be trying to protect his coach.

[Argocister]

50 / 50 is $7000!

Monday's labour day pot was over20,000

What would Anthony Alix cost? Regardless, I seriously doubt we will be seeing him in Toronto again as he played very poorly the last time he was around and didn't look that good in Ottawa either.

[Argocister]

Maybe Swayze will be fine after a couple weeks rest....... Here's hoping .
I'm not impressed with the thoughts of Alix or Alvarado ..... And there's no way now that the RedBlacks are taking Milo off their active roster. Too bad Whyte got picked up last week by the Esks.
Pre?

[1971GreyCup]

RedBlacks with 2 kickers on the squad, sounds like a good plan to me.

Except for the fact that both are much better place kickers than punters.

A real sportsman here: https://vine.co/v/eFMu1n9Dp7D

Yup, Kent Austin in a nutshell. Absolutely no class. It's embarrassing really...

I'm guessing someone in the league office wasn't too impressed, as Austin issued an apology for the incident. Sorry, but I don't care for that I'm sorry.
