I am as guilty of criticizing Rod Black as the next guy, but I'd encourage you all to listen to his call of the fumble (18:30) and the rest of the game I suppose. He really did capture the emotion of it all.

I've also ripped Rod a lot, but his call of the last five minutes was fantastic.

I never mentioned this, but his call on Chad Owens game winning grab at the "Home Game" in Ottawa in 2015, he really lost it. I thought it was great to be honest.

A civic celebration at Nathan Phillips Square is a great way to cap off an incredible season. Hopefully a few tickets will be sold due to the event. My heart will be there even if my backside isn't. Sadly I will have to console myself with news clips of long-faced Stampeders cleaning out their lockers. That never gets old.

Does anyone know if the celebration today will be televised? We are in the US and hope we can pick up a stream somewhere. If anyone has info would appreciate the station name. Great win and have really enjoyed our first real season of Canadian football.

I've looked an TV and social media and haven't found anything on a broadcast.

Just listened to this. Wow, he did do an amazing job. Even though I was there to see it, listening to him describe it actually gave me the shivers a bit, lol.

BTW.... nice to meet you and Mulder at the Spirit of Edmonton party.

TSN4/5 is covering the Celebration from NPS (or so they say).....I would bet CP24 and the like will probably have it on too.....

[usgm]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We have a streaming device and I have TSN 4 on right now. We have a grandson on the Grey Cup Champions so am thankful to be able to watch the celebration with everyone. His grandfather is from the Brantford area so even though we live in US we are a "mixed" household.

Who is your grandson if you don't mine me asking?

Vaughn, Posey and especially Black are now Argo legends for life.

Yeah that was a great call by Rod Black : )

Dylan Wynn - very, very proud of him. He is a great young man and a great athlete. He loves the Argo's but got into a little trouble with his Granddad when he said he thought he was from Edmonton.

I just took time to listen to the fumble recovery and a few plays prior to the Black pic.....he did a great job on that incredible Jordan catch and the pic as well....

My son and I are lucky to have met Dylan and can also say he's played outstanding DL Tackle here in Toronto. We shared the train back to Toronto yesterday and he was still on a high!

I'm glad you were able to see it Sandy. I was able to take an extended lunch break and walk over to see it live and in person. Jim Popp especially was great.

I'd like to see Ray brought back on an incentive type deal again, and do the same with Collaros if he becomes available. Good insurance in case anything happens with Ricky, and Collaros can reset under Ray and Trestman. Also gives time for some of the young guys to develop as well come to think of it.

Going to be an interesting off season, with Jennings potentially getting NFL looks, and guys like Lulay (doubt he leaves BC), Franklin (rumoured to want to try down South), Bridge, Masoli, and Harris all free agents. If the rumours are true about Franklin only wanting to sign a one yer deal in the CFL, I wouldn't even bother with him, as I want someone committed to the team. Plus Montreal needing a Head Coach and staff, the BC situation, and Atlantic expansion.

I'll wait a bit longer before going into the Argos off season needs, but I will say that a back-up (maybe even a starter depending on what ray wants to do) and locking up Himebauch are must IMO.

Ray returning and the team really going after signing Bridge: just 25 years old, a big talent, a GTA Canuck, further developing with Ray and Trestman. I wouldn't hesitate to label that easily the best, although I fear not the most probable, possible scenario.

Argos slogan for 2018 - "Come join the Love Boat".

Loved it, although I doubt most people my age or younger would understand the reference.

I guess I'll post about the trophy unveiling here:

I felt it was much better organized and more fun to be there than in 2012, although no actual parade. Players got much closer to fans and if you stayed til the end, you could practically stand next to them. Much more intimate experience than in 2012, where they parked the buses in the back and barricaded the players.

Glad Pinball didn't speak. As much as we all love him, it's no longer about him and team should focus on the players of today.

Popp made a good point that Argos beat 4 Western teams in a row to win the Grey Cup. And who says they didn't deserve it?

I'll take credit for being the first (in my mind) and starting a "3 more years" chant going before Ray took the mic, which the crowd kinda started cheering a whole bunch of things lol. Although 3 years is pushing it, I thought one was a bit insulting, 2 is probably ideal but what the heck, just wanted him to feel appreciated/wanted. When A fan even chanted "One more year" later on, Ray replied: "why not 2?". Trestman then gave him a fist bump immediately after that comment (a good sign?). But, Ray has two young daughters and I have the upmost respect if he decides to not wanting to take anymore beatings.

Marc Trestman is probably the best coach in all sports, all levels. Find someone who presents himself like that and is committed to his coaching vision.

No doubt your employer is accustomed to the "Extended Lunch Breaks"....😅
