The poor reputation the Argos have for being unpopular and hated is maintained by a constant barage of attacks on all fronts.

Considering one of the main purposes of 3DN is to showcase Canadian football, it would be nice if they didn't pile on the Argos along with everyone else.

I listened to the 3 Down Podcast. Host John Hodge ( who is hilarious btw) explained the voting process. He said the Argos actually got 2 -1st place votes. If you haven't listened to it I suggest you do, it puts these silly rankings into context.

I have not checked this particular edition out, but maybe the Hamilton and Saskatchewan correspondents in particular voted the Argos 9th (or lower ) bringing their total power ranking down. I find Hodge to actually be the most fair—-at least if you take his Bombers out of the equation

Power Ranking create discussion but are a total waste of time in reality.

Paul my plan is to select certain episodes of IST and put the audio on You Tube. I had plenty of solid guests which really helped mask the sub par host.

I know one guest used to be a nice guy, then walked around like he owned the place.
