    His redemption story in 2017 is one of my favourite moments in Argonauts history. I love how he handled himself being released (apparently took several players out for dinner to wish them well) and his maturity throughout that time allowed him to be called back to the team when injuries started to mount a week or two later. To go from that to getting the game winning interception in the Grey Cup is one of the reasons I was so excited that they won that game. In fact, immediately after the interception I was jumping up in my living room and started yelling, "it was Matt Black, it was Matt Black...that is so awesome!!!"
    For me, each Argos season is like a new story and that season is the one with my favourite ending.

    Well said, Black will be forever remembered for that play.

    I was the opposite actually -- I initially thought it was Mitchell White who had come over and made the INT. I was so excited by that point in time that whatever PA announcement there might have been was unheard by me. It wasn't until an hour later when I was walking back to the car with Mulder that I asked him who had gotten the interception.
