Game Thread: Argos @ Montreal Thursday July 17 - 7:30 PM

It's worth mentioning that Dejon Allen has barely played with BC this year due to injuries.

Kelly will be available for the CNE game in 2026 according to Matthew Scianitti.

Where did you read that?

This was a bad attempt at humor on my part. "2026". I sure as hell hope I'm wrong. And i hope he's playing before this years CNE game on August 23. I really want to see Rourke and Kelly match up. It has never happened.

Frustration coming from a fan, it's totally understandable Scooter. But regarding the " Kelly/Rourke matchup", it did happen in BC last year when Kelly outplayed Rourke when Rourke attempted to humiliate both Kelly and the Argos organization with his t-shirt protest.

It happened last year in BC, but you may have missed it if you started watching in the 2nd half after Rourke was benched.

Ah, yes that's right! What a shame.

It is stupid beyond belief that they allowed their second-highest paid player to ride a scooter through downtown traffic to get to practice. It’s like the whole organization is just going through the motions these days.

How could they have stopped him?

Thanks for the reminder. I did watch that game. It was underwhelming. The benching heard around the CFL. Not prime Rourke. We need to see prime Rourke/Kelly this year at BMO in front of CNE crowd.

When was the last year/time the Argos had ideal practice facility? Old CNE stadium, in the 80s? Where they did not require traveling to a practice facility.

This has nothing to do with that. Whether they practiced at BMO or Lamport, he still would have been taking his scooter. A lot of Argos do, or ride bikes in to the facilities. At least the ones that rent downtown do.

Have you never heard of professional teams requiring their players to avoid risky behaviour? Are they too cheap to supply Ubers for the team’s second-most valuable asset?
