I'm just amazed a CFL caller got through to his show.

    Fri 4 pm, Bob takes your calls. Second caller in

    Poor Bob, his ego never ceases to amaze me, why would he expect Braley to include him in the Grey Cup committee other than his overall greatness.

    I understand Bob was a long time supporter of the Argos. Probably frustrated with the ownership situation over the past decade. I think he's tempering his enthusiasm a bit and waiting to see how the BMO situation works out.

    I also love the way he said that his close buddies lost millions and then the league turned on them when they asked for "just a little bit of help". What a load of crap that is. He fails to understand that they only took over ownership after the league took the team away from the previous owner because he stopped paying the bills. Why would they treat C&S differently then they treated Sherwood? He lost respect for the league because it took away ownership from C&S for the same reason it did so from Sherwood. To me, that deserves more respect, because they weren't treated any more special than the previous owner. They stuck to their set of guidelines.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    A case of McCown not letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

    Yeah, Bob forgets to mention that his buddys the Argos owners, walked away from building 3 different stadium deals, that would have helped the Argos secure their future, all because the Dome offered them a sweetheart lease for 5 years. c and S left a lot of scorched earth behind them. I did like them as owners though
