    So how much money did Larry and Bell make? I see this as more of an added partner, rather than a acquisition. But I guess technically Bell and Larry sell the club to Larry, Bell and Rogers

    Great news, but does this mean Sportsnet actually has to report positive news on the Argos now?

    They talked about this on 590 on the drive home and basically acknowledged their own negativity in the past as they started to soften their position before our eyes. It was Broadhead and Cox IIRC.

    Right, thanks. Have to admit I don't pay a lot of attention to who's who driving home.

    "Under its current ownership, a transformed Argonauts football club enhanced its presence and fan base in Canada’s largest sports market and ultimately marched to the CFL championship," MLSE president and CEO Michael Friisdahl said in a statement. "We look forward to building on the Argos’ strong momentum as we welcome the team to the leading provider of sports and entertainment experiences in Canada."

    Holy crap is this true?? My god. This is what has happened to journalism in the last 20 years. Its pretty pathetic. No wonder why everyone is on about fake news. Its all about what your organization favors, not about what's actually news.

    yes, net result just selling part of the team to rogers.
    Probably makes logistics, ticketing, etc easier.


    FYI: rogers is looking at selling its sports assets - Jays and MLSE stake. Bell probably has rights to buy rogers share, so 3 years from now its will be just LT & Bell owning MLSE. Rogers needs cash badly to upgrade its network to make its comparable to huge $$$ Bell/Telus spent on their networks.

    ???
    Rogers wants to sell the Blue Jays and it's share in Cogeco, nothing about MLSE, and I highly doubt Rogers would want to lose the Leafs.

    My first thoughts on Rogers divestiture of the Blue Jays. Also noticed an uptick on Argos discussions recently on Sportsnet. A huge step forward.

    Rogers said today that they're not selling the Jays.

    Great news for the Argos and the CFL in general.

    This should have been done years ago.

    So does this mean their sub lease at BMO is out the window and they're equal footing with TFC in this regard?
