    Argos extend Pinball

    Great news for fans of the team. Pinball has his team's priorities straight and it's a big reason they are where they are today. Focus on the best local Canadian talent was a key IMO. Argos Canadian depth is IMO the best in the league.

    It’s remarkable that “Pinball” has 35 years of uninterrupted service with the Argos. I think he has 8 Grey Cup rings and counting. It will be interesting to see how many Mike accumulates at the end of his career. Unprecedented!

    Great News. He has built stability on the field and put the pieces in place in terms of core players, coaches that will help the Argos become a model franchise. He has been GM for 4 years and has 3 first place finishes and 1 championship. Remarkable!
    I sincerely hope MLSE make him President soon as well. I have zero doubt in my mind that as President in 4 years BMO Field will sellout every game and the Toronto Argonauts will be relevant in this city once more.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    I think it is 7.

    1991, 1996, 1997 = player
    2004 = coach
    2012, 2017 = whatever role he had
    2022 = GM

    I think you’re right. Thanks Will.

    Danny Webb might have the 8 GC rings.

    Nope -- DW started with the club in 1985 so his are the same as Pinner's -- 91, 96, 97, 04, 12, 17 and 22.
