    Toby was unapologetically a Democrat.... Just extremely supportive of the military. His father lost an eye in WW2 and they were very much a pro military family. 

    Odd, I never got that... from all I have read about him, his politics seemed more complicated and nuanced than that.

    I think he held some very strong libertarian ideals too... and many Republican ideals...

    According to CFL Nation, Argos management has a plan. What the plan is nobody knows...

    Well, one thing that helps the argos is having John Murphy digging up players he is the CFL talent scout equivalent of a truffle pig. The guy is a tremendous talent scout, but has a personality of said truffle pig.  The argos will still bring in great talent into the league, they will be fine.

     

    Side note... every time I see a pic of Murphy, I am ALWAYS reminded of Pvt. Lawrence's final scene in Full Metal Jacket.

    Genuinely curious - why??

    BO is good- granted. I think he was also the benefactor of an offense designed around him, a commitment to running the ball and an Oline that has a powerful run aspect to it.  I think you put Stanback, Brown or Karey in that offence, I feel any one of them would have churned out more yard from scrimmage.

    Now factor in  the savings- either one of those three, probably could be had for less than $150k- a savings of ~$90k. That is a good chunk of change for other areas of need.

    Also, I think Stanback would have been a really good fit here- I think his running style fits the Bombers Identity best.

     

     

    I do like the hometown hearo story line and he is genuinely a good egg. BUt if its team first- I think flipping the rb to import would be the way to go.  Just my opinion.

    Wow, what a way to kick off the day! I'm absolutely pumped that Brady's sticking around! My health has been taking a major hit lately and I've been feeling at an all-time low, this news is like a touchdown for my spirit, I haven't felt this fired up since November

    Sorry to hear about that man, Hope things get better soon.

    They probably should have went with Princess Auto Field as that actually does sound better than stadium. Maybe even Princess Auto Center Then we could call it the PAC like 2pac and that sounds gangsta for sure. 

    Agreed, the PAC sounds badass- the PAS,  reminds everyone that the pas exists... which is no good for anyone really.

     

    Total missed opportunity.
