Imagine this crew as the CFL panel. You could rotate the two drunks every week to ensure you're getting fan representation from all CFL teams.

The panel would be moderated by Bob Irving and Luke Wilson to help fuel the fireworks. 

TSN has no idea what it's doing.

Are you advocating for giving air time to drunk rider fans? And in Toronto bluto would have to find a friend to pretend to be the second Argos fan

Well as far as I’ve seen there is no such thing as a Rider fan without drunk being in front of that term because how else would one describe them to go along with the banjo playing knuckle dragging inbreds that they are? And as for the one Toronto Argofan that mills around these parts sometimes I don’t know what to say other then sorry about your situation, hang in there, keep powering thru?

They'll be lucky to draw 10000 fans to their 6 home games. No one will miss them, it seems.

Yup Maple Leafs, Raptors, Jays etc say hi. That’s why the commish and his team and whoever else need to do everything in their power to elevate the status of the CFL so large markets like TO will smell there’s money to be had in the CFL like the money grubbing capitalist ******* that they are.

MLSE made no effort to market the game in Southern Ontario. It is disgusting how lazy & greedy that ownership group is.

not sure what's wrong with being a capitalist? Sure beats being a freedom-hating communist, that's for sure. Anyway, I do agree with you - I hope the Commish continues to promote the game in Ontario. We need the Argos unfortunately.

Nice to see Dee get paid.

21 mil, 10 n change guaranteed. Awesome for Dee, very happy to see him secure his future and his families future for a long time.

Bit of a head scratcher though...

Football highlights are usually needlessly cruel

Alford is not the guy you want on JJ 1:1, he obviously thought he was releasing him to a safety, realized there was no one behind him so he hauled back and instincts took over and he want to the corner instead of the middle of the field

From what I read, Alford had a terrible season last year and it was a surprise that he ended up getting that big contract. Hopefully he turns it around this year.

He struggled a bit early last season (that terrible game against the vikings was in 2024) but played fairly well after that.

Haba released.

Hopefully we sign Smoke Monday.

If he's that good, why the other CFL teams did not sign him?

Good enough to hang around 3 yrs in NFL...so can't answer for other teams...but if a guy can cut it there...get several actual games in...and play st...pretty sure he should have here looking at some of the crap we rostered since...and maybe he didnt wanna come here and get cut in lieu of some lesser talented Canadian or some coaches pet...as thats also very common for a lot of guys not coming

Or Jackson wasn’t good 4 ******* years ago when he was here? I mean sometimes it’s that simple. The fact most ppl prob don’t remember the name means he didn’t stand out. 4 years later.

That's not a guarantee though that he will also be good at the Canadian game. Many good NFL players have come and gone in the CFL that did not make it.

That's just you're spin to it. No factual basis whatsoever.

O know for a fact a lot of players refuse to come here due to ratio reasons and getting cut for a sub par guy....and a lot of coaches will favour a vet...even if he is not as good....why waste their time and risk injury....and guys talk and touch base and give potential newguys the 411 of what its all about up in Canada...I could give an eff....if u believe my "spin" or not...but you be you....with your wealth of football knowledge and connections...I'll be me...Block me...mute me...whatever floats your dingy if u dislike what i say

and save for a QB who has a steep learning curve up here....unless a player is a comp0lete dolt....and has skill....they can adapt and play if the coaching is adequate..and it's not like he stunk the joint out when he was here....we kept other stinkers tho

wasnt good for yrs ago ...but hung onto an NFL PR and actual active roster for 3 yrs after...I guess the light came on after being dumped by the CFL...good on him I guess

That's the pitfalls of the CFL and how teams run camps and pre-season...with 2 games now...Guys dont get legit opportunities...on all teams...and some pop off luckily in camp and jump over better players...then are just farts in the wind come next TC....I dont know why we dont extend camp and have 3 games....

and another pityfull coaching staff worse than the warts we had here...lol

But 3 yrs in NFL...On same team....actual roster spot....and lotsa snaps on ST too...hard to argue that he was a piece of crap and not worthy of keeping...who did we keep that yr in lieu of him...some stars I am sure are still here...or had a couple great seasons and then vanished...I know we had Schoen that yr....but dont recall who we kept as depth after that...When Ellingson went down and Schoen stepped into his spot...who did we add to roster....nobody I can think of who still here
