Or Chris Jones lol
IIRC A51 was touting Stubler and how awesome the veteran Argos dline was, then disappeared. Did the same thing when people starting calling him out on Riderfans, but when he was right about something, he'd pop back in after a few months for a toadaso. What's the old saying - "If you throw enough shit against a wall, some of it has gotta stick."

Only signing I liked was Bulcke. I was hoping that Foley would regain his form, but it's two seasons in a row now that he's played poorly, time to cut bait IMO. I was expecting big things from Waud, and hoping to see more of Walker, but injuries lead to my disappointment. Laurent made Hall look better and if we signed Hickman from 2011 good deal, but he hasn't been the same since coming back from the NFL.
We need so many upgrades it's not even funny - QB, RB, OL, WR, DL, LB, DB's, the entire team! That's messed up IMO.
I was worried about Foley and Hickman lining up at the DE positions and having little depth behind them. I thought the Argos were solid at DT with Bulcke, Waud, Hall and that Munroe guy who ended up retiring. Bryan Hall might be a good indicator of the major problem in evaluating the DT position because of how chemistry with your fellow DT can make you look much better or much worse.
Yes, there are needs at every position group on the roster except for probably Lirim Hajrullahu.

Support CFL league & team sponsors by buying their stuff!!!
Damien Cox is human gutterfilth IMO. An anti Canadian loser, etc, etc.
That said I did attend a TFC game back in June/16, and I also took my 3 nephews to the Argo home opener.
The crowd energy was at a much higher level at the soccer game, and that pissed me off.
So as much as cox is an idiot who hates the CFL, it kills me knowing that the soccer team has a far more energized fan base than the Argos have.
The fact he was comparing a playoff soccer game to a "worst in CFL" Argo team, I understand.
BUT.
The stupid soccer team had the Argofans beat in terms of enthusiasm in the june/july games that were poorly attended by BOTH fan bases.
(I am only comparing the fan enthusiasm, cause the soccer game was as boring as watching paint dry)

This is the difference in how the 2 teams are covered. The very first ever playoff game for TFC in its entire history was played last week in front of an announced crowd of 21,000 well short of a sellout. Really meaning that 18,000 were in the seats. However this was never discussed in any of the media story's. It was reported as a very vocal crowd. Now, we all know if the Argos had a playoff game with announced crowd of 21,000 that would be the lead of any media report. A disappointing crowd of only 21,000 were in attendance, then we would also get that's" most of that crowd dressed as empty seats comment". We all recall the home opener in which the Argos fell 1800 short of a sellout and that was the story, not being the first Argo game played at BMO.. Interesting that MR Cox's also did not comment on the thousands of free tickets that we're given to Rogers employees for this last game either. If Bell did that for a Argo playoff game, you just know that would find its way into the story.
