It seems like we were just talking about the Raptors gunning for fourth in the conference and a home court advantage for their first round in the playoffs. For those who don't follow the Raps, we finished ninth in the conference and that means we missed the playoffs for the
David Braley has been announced as the new owner of the Toronto Argonauts. David Braley already owns a CFL team, the British Columbia Lions. David Braley gets to keep both the Lions and the Argos. In an eight team league, one man owns 25% of the teams. The fact that
It's Sunday. I know what my brothers will be doing all day today. In fact, I'm willing to bet most of you have the same plans. It's NFL game day. I used to be the same way. I spent many a Sunday afternoon watching the Bills until Wade Phillips went
Toronto Argonaut slotback Arland Bruce scored the Argos first touchdown of the season on Wednesday, on a 21-yard pass from Kerry Joseph. Then, he paid tribute to Michael Jackson by removing his helmet, shoulder pads and uniform top, then laid down in the end zone. Here's the controversial celebration: Remember
My city is a city of losers. At least when it comes to our primary professional sports teams. We suck. Our Maple Leafs of the NHL are 27-28-13, which puts us 11th in the conference and well outside the playoffs. Our Raptors of the NBA are 23-42, which puts us
Joe Krol was 89. He won six Grey Cups, five with the Toronto Argonauts, as a Canadian Football League quarterback, running back, and placekicker/punter from 1942-1953 and 1955.
Ralph Sazio was 86. He won three Grey Cups as a coach with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and served as Toronto Argonauts' team president from 1981 to 1990.
I got a chuckle out of the headline of Chris Zelkovich's column in today's Toronto Star. It reads "Argos Not Throwing In Towel". On behalf of all Toronto Argonaut fans, I'd like to thank the club for not throwing in the towel after a 1-2 start. Considering six of the
Thanks to Ajax Mike, I've won the Toronto Bills lottery. On June 4th I'll try and buy a couple of cheap seats to the 8 Buffalo Bills games at Rogers Centre SkyDome. I'd love to be there on December 7th when the Toronto Bills squish the fish. As I crunch
I wore my #9 Damon Allen 2004 Grey Cup Championship tee shirt today. I didn't wear it because Damon Allen was announcing his retirement today, that part was a complete coincidence, but I'm glad I had it on. Allen played in the CFL for 23 years and has more passing
The Toronto Argonauts appear to have landed a bonafide starting quarterback who's not in his 40s. Sources say the Argos have acquired the Canadian Football League's reigning outstanding player, Kerry Joseph, for a group of players. We'll likely get the details tomorrow at 10am. Joseph ranked third in CFL passing
Stephen Brunt has a great column in today's Globe & Mail entitled "A Higher Calling". It's about Michael "Pinball" Clemons, easily the most likable athlete to play in this city. Pinball is asked daily when he's going to run for Mayor of Toronto. I decided long ago this was both
As I prepare for Sid the Kid, it's time to give some love to my Toronto Argonauts Football Club. Not that long ago, the double blue were 2-6 and all hopes we'd play in the Grey Cup game we're hosting were spilling down the drain. We won 35-17 victory over
There's a nice little list in the Sun today. They rank the top 10 dumb sports rules and #1 on their hitlist is the Canadian football rouge. Here's what the article says. How much do we need to say about a rule that rewards failure? If you lineup for a
We're hosting the 2007 Grey Cup in November, and I hear tickets for the big game are almost sold out. That's good news because nothing would be more embarrassing than a chunk of empty seats for the Grey Cup at the venue formerly known as SkyDome. They announced a pretty
Ricky Williams had me convinced he would never smoke again. I actually don't personally care if he enjoys a little grass on his days off, but I bought into his "natural high" mantra nonetheless. I attended Ricky William's first ever game in an Argos uniform and waited on the field
I mentioned briefly in an earlier entry that my site is #5 when you Google toronto argos. Here's a screen cap. In actuality, the first and second ranked sites are the very same site. The official Argonaut site can be reached at both argonauts.ca and argonauts.on.ca, and
It's half-time in Montreal and we're down 16-3. Rumour has it Mike "Pinball" Clemons visits this site during half-time (currently #5 when you Google Toronto Argos!) so this message is for him. Play Michael Bishop. Do it now. Damon Allen is 43 and unable to put points on the board.
That was a great game. While most of you settled in for an afternoon of NFL football, I watched the Toronto Argonauts host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the East Division semifinal. Down 27-17 midway through the fourth quarter, Michael Bishop came off the bench to bring us all the
I'm a little concerned. On Wednesday, I attended the Leafs game at the ACC and witnessed an uninspired performance by the blue and white. The Avs creamed us 4-1. Last night I was at Skydome to watch the Argos host the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Again, the home team put in an
My brothers still ridicule me for abandoning the NFL for the CFL. When I mentioned I was going to the Argonaut game tonight, they sort of yawned. To them, watching a a preseason Titans~Texans game on television is infinitely more exciting. I respect their preference, one shared by many
Some of us are old enough to remember a running back named Ricky Williams. He came to town last May with unparalleled buzz and James and I got to meet him following his first game in an Argos jersey. Then, things broke down. Guess who's back? Ricky Williams has been
With a shovel pass to Arland Bruce III at 5:02 of the third quarter, Damon Allen made football history. Bruce III's 29-yard touchdown run put Allen over Warren Moon's pro football record of 70,533 yards. Damon Allen is unquestionably the most prolific passer in professional football history. As
Reality bites. It was May 19 when I first wrote about the prospects of Ricky Williams becoming an Argo. As both a CFL and Ricky Williams fan, I thought it was the coolest. On May 26, with it looking more and more likely this was actually going to happen, I
British Columbia built a 23-0 lead in this one before the Argonaut offense woke up, but it was too little, too late. With less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Robert Baker took a pass from Spergon Wynn but fumbled on the 20 yards short of a tie
