This was another fun discussion with Nii Wallace-Bruce.

Ok this is pretty sweet. Let's get another one. @torontoargos.bsky.social #pulltogether

Just saw this. Sorry, I do not know altho it sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe check the Jay Teitel book.

Please tell me the Stamps are not going top-to-bottom red like this.

Bouncing Back: From National Joke to Grey Cup Champs For three decades the Toronto Argonauts were a national joke: a team that not only lost most of the time, but usually did so in embarrassing fashion. The franchise bottomed out in 1981 with just two w...

I wrote a lot about Willie in my book about the 1981-83 Toronto Argonauts. He was a good man and a good coach who deserved a better fate. (But I believe Fritz Pollard was the first Black head coach in pro football.)

This is such a good piece.

Year of the Rocket - Sutherland House Publishing The century-old Toronto Argonauts, like the rest of the Canadian Football League, seemed to be in shambles in 1991. Then everything changed. The Argos were acquired by an unlikely trio: the greatest h...

Thank you! I loved researching and telling that story.

The challenge with comparing punters across generations is that the demands of the position have changed. Joe Zuger wasn't expected to land each punt outside the numbers near the sideline, etc. Rouges were not considered failures.

Don't forget, the league -- not the teams -- owned the playoff games. It would have had to be a league-produced program.

I can't be 100% definitive, but I just checked my collection and I do not have a program for that game. I was there and certainly would have picked a few up. I have every other home game in 2012. They were doing glossy but thin freebie programs in that era.

This is what social media should have been.

You too, Scott!

I had a lot of fun the past three days talking #GreyCup on
@ctvnewschannel. For the record, on Sunday's appearance I predicted a final score of Toronto 31 Wpg 20. (Even I didn't see 41-24 coming!)

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the ends dropping back into the secondary from time to time.

Eight D-linemen should be sufficient, especially with the quality of the four backups. I wonder if Priester might replace Darkangelo on some passing downs.

For real. The project has been delayed for various reasons but it is a hell of a story. It's 80% done; hopefully I get it finished in the very near future.
