Feel better now?

Receivers and linebackers.

Sooooo......... you're saying that's not Ross's picture?

Plus, apparently he really knows wax products.

All good news here. The Argos have sorely needed a higher public profile and aggressive marketing, and this ought to do it for them. Its also a real vote of confidence in both the Argos and the CFL.

Obviously, you've been at the bar at closing time.

It remains to be seen whether Gray will show up but we can take some comfort in knowing that he's getting some darned good coaching while he's down there.

No. It is about when you rub your knuckles on the head of an immigrant.

Walters can be criticized for the import talent on this team, but certainly not for the drafting of homegrown talent and horsetrades.

Santos-Knox is very good but I would not put him into the same category as Singleton just yet. Has he played MLB for any significant time?

The players are good, but the results are not, so where does the blame lie? I'll give you a hint: his initials are Richie Hall.

And those grapes were sour anyways.

...Aand panic sets in for the Riser fans.

Khari is still a good prospect for an OC, should LaPolice decide to bolt. He wasn't the most physically gifted quarterback, but did very well despite a so-so O-line due to intelligence and hard work. Those same qualities should serve him well in a coaching role. I do not hold him responsible for the problems with the offence with the Lions- as has been pointed out, they had a poor O-line but were doing well until Lulay got racked up, and it is starting to look like Jennings may not respond to coaching, and we've had a few of those ourselves.

How about a two for one special in turfing?

It's the McDonalds phenomenon- still lousy but people keep going back because they used to for so long. Okay, the coffee there is pretty good as are the muffins.

That is called a "left-handed compliment" like , "For a fat girl, you don't sweat much".

There was talk of starting the season a lot earlier to allow for two bye weeks for the teams with the intent of cutting down on injuries, but I do not know if anything came of it.

Him, too?

And just in time for training camp.

Too late- that was in October/November. But there is always National Canned Food month or St. Swithin's Day.

I believe there would have been a valid point to be made by canning Hall as soon as the season was over- that underperforming was going to have consequences. Loyalty has its limits and Dave Richie learned that. If that decision is not solely O'Shea's, then something is wrong.

Ah, the good old days, when there was a steady stream of really good linebackers coming in. What happened?

Fixed that for you.

If O'Shea hasn't had enough experience with Hall's defence by now to make an informed decision, then I question his judgement. I do not believe that, post-season you cannot fire an underperforming coach until you can find someone else. (ref: Ottawa Redblacks)We do not know of all the nuances about the decision-making process, but I would think that if you went into a restaurant and were served a poor meal, you would not want to know what kind of a day the chef or servers had, or what kind of credentials they had. You would simply send the meal back an/or register a complaint with the management. You don't have to be a chicken to detect a rotten egg.
