Wait, @SpeedFlex27 is Frank Constanza?

I very well might be. Except I don't have a son like George. My son is 39, lifts weights & weighs 225 lbs. In a feat of strength, I'd be destroyed.

I like Lapo as a broadcaster, I still think with experience and coaching he can really help build our game from that space.

I don't think the space of a positional support coach is big enough to hold his ego and need for control. 🙂

I do love him in that role. I wish they’d make him a permanent fixture in the booth/panel for each game.

Any predictions on who are first signing will be?

wow, i thought he shifted away from formally working, guess not, probably missed it.

Too bad for him the Argos suck.

A consultant? Fans in Calgary thought Huff was already that with the Stamps doing it from his home in Flrida semi retired. Dave Dickenson is now Da Man in Calgary. Good luck.

Now that's interesting....

I can see where the Argos would love to have him. He is the only guy who was able to keep Murphy in check and that will be huge for the Argos.

hell no hahah....I think the "braintrust" has finally come around

But thats my inclination how it goes down with the vet incumbents...maybe not in that exact order per say....but the way it will go for pre- FA signings to consume what we failed to spend in 2025 and saved on 6 game

[rebusrankin]

Honestly, not a bad list. Thoughts?

I think it would be silly to bring back Bryant and Neufeld.  They've been done for 3 years.  They've been given multiple chances to run it back, and they get worse every season.

Yeah, he is good. Both Forde & Suitor should retire. 

I see Luke Wilson is doing tv commercials now. He pissed off a lot of people with his comments on TSN & then on X this past season. However, people are tuning in to see & hear what he has to say. He needs to be on the panel permanently. He's become quite the personality.
