Argo players of the past that you regret the team getting rid of.

And when I was a kid, I was heartbroken when they traded Paul Bennett and Larry Uteck

Didn't Duingan leave for Winnipeg, because McNall didn't want to pay him $450-500k ? I don't think it was because Rita wanted to go with the younger Foggie.

Not sure if that was McNall's call or Mike McCarthy's.

The way I remember it, McCarthy wanted to sign him to a deal where cash was based on games played. Dunnigan balked (as he should have) and tested the market.

I remember reading in the double blue book we received in 2008 that Adam Rita brought up how Ownership wasn't spending money like they used to. TBH, I have no idea, as I wasn't a fan at that time. Heck, even if I was a fan I wouldn't have remembered anyways, seeing as I was only 4 years old at the time lol.

I don't remember the '91 season myself other than a few vague memories of being at a few games. I do remember being at the Calgary/Toronto game in 1992 in which the Argos were shutout.

McNall's legal troubles hadn't surfaced yet by the 1991-1992 offseason I don't believe.

I'm aware, just pointing out what I read in the book.

McNall's interest was said to be waneing at this point, and the money issues were visible I suppose. McCarthy brought up during the "John Candy True Double Blue" doc that he knew money was going from the Argonauts ticketing office to LA to pay hockey bills.

McNall's financial troubles IIRC were starting to surface in the off-season after the 1991 Grey Cup win. I even recall Marty York writing a column suggesting that McNall was already starting to "lose interest" in the Argos at the start of the 1992 season. His legal problems would take a bit more time to become evident but things slowly started to go south during that off-season after the '91 season.
