Of course they would never answer that question, but we'll see what happens with the Argos future, and maybe sooner than later.
    They make it very difficult to think otherwise, especially with their stand on XFL. Thank God for the other owners.

    It's just not going to happen. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. The only reason why a merger was even suggested is because the CFL was on hiatus.

    There were two teams in favour of it Toronto and Calgary IIRC. I believe there was a rift at the BOG between Christmas Tree and everybody else. He was pissed the rest were too stupid not to go along with it. Stern stood up for him publicly out of respect. There was more to it than the league being on hold. If I have any of this wrong please correct me.

    I'm not saying you're wrong about any of the talks, I'm just saying it's not going to happen.

    Heck, the XFL could do well in the upcoming season and that may lead to another round of talks about a merger.

    It's still not going to happen though.
