Ron Lancaster was a CFL icon and a had a lot of roles in the league; just wasn't a very sharp or well spoken enough color commentator IMO- likeable guy for sure though but kinda gosh/golly folksy - sort of like Dunigan now; Frank Rigney blew away the field - sharp, well-spoken, informative (maybe the pioneer of the tele-strator) and was the best ever IMO.

Frank Rigney - I'd forgotten about him - now that you've reminded me, yes top notch.

IMO the perception of Ford is brought down due to the fact that he almost exclusively works with Rod Black. I like Ford a lot.

I'm in the Forde camp as well.

The game tonight in Ottawa is Dunigan and Gord Miller. Not sure who's on the Argo game.

This also reminds me of Dunigan. I personally like Dunigan doing the rare game but have read that some fans can't stand him.

Just shows you can't please everybody all the time. I personally don't have a hate on for any of the broadcasters. But I do like some better than others. Just thankful the games are on TV. One could turn the sound down on the TV and listen to the radio broadcasts that you can pull up on the internet any time.

Hamilton is doing their best to keep the Argos post season hopes alive.

**Argo** · 10-21-2016, 10:02 PM

I see Elliot is 5 for 102 and a TD so far...

**gilthethrill** · 10-21-2016, 10:10 PM

Well, with Hamilton winning, this puts an end to one of the most exciting playoff runs in Argos history.

At least we didn't have to see a live look of the team watching their playoff hopes die in the back of a bar. Seeing that two seasons ago was sad.

Good memory young man. Yes, I really felt for them.

Thanks Burris for the turnover in OT. Masoli still sucks.

We saw both Good Hank and Bad Hank Tough one to lose for Ottawa. For a while there I thought Good Hank was going to win out.

I liked Walby as he had some personality, couldn't take my eyes off his deformed finger though.
Loved Lancaster and Cahill together in the booth.

Bad Hank usually has the last word.

Masoli is not that bad IMO - has his poor moments, but still throws some nice strikes and has some mobility; easily a better QB than Willy.

No argument that Masoli is better than our qb of the future.

I agree. IMO the best thing about Masoli, is after he makes a bad mistake, he doesn't let it affect him for the next series. He has a short memory which is great.
