His old position isn't vacant though - Andre Bolduc was hired as his replacement so what do you say to him? Sorry, you're out of a job because Hogan sucked at his? -

Yeah I rag on them as much as anybody but they do a better job of covering the CFL than the "real" media. They are great for news but their opinion pieces are not usually worth reading. -
You can find deals though - like I said, you can fly to/from Calgary and Winnipeg for very cheap at certain times. If you are looking to go at peak times, you pay peak prices. Google Flights is a good way to look for affordable flights and you can set alerts to notify you when prices change. Halifax is beautiful but like most cities, the homeless situation makes it unappealing to explore, at least it was a couple years ago when I was there. Only other place east of Ontario, I've been was Montreal - also beautiful but was way more expensive than Halifax.

Have yet to see a good explanation. Jamaica getting hit by the hurricane has definitely increased prices but it's still been much higher than normal even prior to that. We book well in advance and have price match guarantees so we're always watching prices. There were some deals to be had a couple months ago but very few these days unless you are happy with going to Cuba.

Source? I have not seen it anywhere that he was given a 2 year deal. -

Perkins was added to our neg list in August but he's been bouncing around other teams lists since at least 2020 so might be just lucky timing on our part but I won't complain. Looks like he has a great skill set for the CFL and he's still only 28. -

Apparently Dinwiddie wanted Murphy gone & the Argo's said no so he left. I can't imagine sticking with a known piece of s**t like that to the detriment of your franchise - luckily for MLSE, nobody in Toronto will notice. Family comes first as Mike O'Shea spurns Argonauts | Toronto Sun -
People who like to go south in the winter care. Besides - it's a sale price, to one specific location, not all sun destinations. We've got a trip booked in March and our flight prices are way higher than normal ($1400 to Cancun) - on the same dates I can fly round trip to Calgary for $213 so yeah it can be way cheaper to fly domestically.

Except he didn't start for another few seasons. He went to BC in FA where he backed up Danny Barrett and then Kent Austin. Austin got traded after the 1993 season and McManus finally got the reigns in 94. -

30 years of coaching, OC in the NFL (Arizona), OC in Toronto and Montreal (also co-head coach there). Plus he's made Arbuckle look halfway decent. Would not be worse but time would tell if would be great. -

If they are interviewing other people for the OC position, that means Hogan is gone (or at least demoted). -

Looks like Hogan is done! https://3downnation.com/2025/11/24/winnipeg-blue-bombers-granted-permission-to-interview-mike-miller-for-offensive-coordinator-position-report/ -
I'm sure they let him walk thinking it'd be a slam dunk to get MOS to come back. Now they're throwing s**t at the wall to see what will stick.

Not a pending FA. Argos extend receiver Damonte Coxie through 2026 - CFL.ca -
If Toronto wants an experienced HC, looks like it's Campbell's job for the taking since both Steinauer & Mace have declined to be interviewed for the position. Not sure why they would even bother asking Mace - can't see him leaving anytime soon.

Yup, we had both in 92 (as well as the son in law). 92 was Matty's first year with us & Danny's last. I remember the rumours about Garza but he was 3rd string & had been with the team longer so I'm not sure how true that is. -

Apparently he's one of the highest paid college QB's, making around $2 million a year. He reportedly turned down a $4 million/year offer to leave Vanderbilt but declined because they took a chance on him so he feels indebted to them. -

Watched him on the Netflix series about the SEC and he just had a career game where he threw for 484 yards & 5 td's against Kentucky yesterday (most passing yards in a SEC game in almost 30 years). He's definitely getting some attention right now but at 5'10, how much of a real look does he get in the NFL? -
You sure?

There were definitely some people not happy about bringing in Rider castoffs. Worked out well for us in the end but there was doubt about him.
-
He was at the end of his career by the time he came here so yeah he been associated with the Riders for so long that I can see that. He also didn't have a big energetic personality that made you overlook that Rider stink. Guys like Willie and Yoshi made it hard to dislike them.
