PODCAST: Free agency has settled, and the Argos look very different. New head coach, Hall of Fame front office, major signings, Wynton in Hamilton. JB and I break it down - and we've even got this visual aid! Listen on your app or watch here: youtu.be/_VQa8khckkc #Argos #CFL
You could chart a neat little bivariate grid showing how ‘the NBA Cup is stupid’ magically becomes ‘this tournament is amazing’ the moment a fan’s team starts winning. I currently think it’s amazing.
The Xs and Argos Season Finale is here. I talk to Ralph Holley about his return, plus JB and I dive into Ryan Dinwiddie’s departure, the coaching search, and the free agent picture. And we hand out our 2025 Xs and Argos Awards. Watch: youtu.be/mq3WnOYaKkU #Argos #CFL
Haha I don’t know.
Lirim Hajrullahu has been named a finalist for the CFL's Most Outstanding Special Teams Player award. Hajrullahu's season was historically good, setting all-time CFL and Argos records, including hitting the most 50+ yard field goals (12) in a season. #Argos #CFL
DB Tarvarus McFadden and K Lirim Hajrullahu have both been named East Division All-Stars. This list could easily include guys like Nicastro, Coxie and Herslow, but when you're a five-win team, it's more difficult to take the attention from others around the league. #Argos #CFL
EXIT INTERVIEW POD - JB and I break down the Argos’ 2025 award nominees, and react to end-of-season comments from Ryan Dinwiddie and Pinball Clemons. Listen here or on your app: youtu.be/5_KEW1qowSs #Argos #CFL
POSTGAME REACTION: The Argos lost 44-13 in Calgary. JB and I break down a night of QB evaluation that started with a pick-six and ended with a TD. Plus, Lirim Hajrullahu and Kevin Mital made history. Listen here or on your app: youtu.be/59E58InoK6c #Argos #CFL
Beaming with pride tonight as my wife was inducted into the McMaster Sports Hall of Fame - honoured for guiding the Marauders to the 2000 OUA title and 2001 national championship. It was awesome to see her whole team back together again to celebrate!
Here's how Toronto will suit up in Calgary. I've been waiting to see Brevin Allen all year - he dresses at DE, and Tieide is in at wideout. The Argos are also dressing two long snappers, two kickers, and a punter.

PREGAME WALKTHROUGH: JB and I are back for the final Pregame Walkthrough of 2025 as the Argos head to Calgary. We dig into All-Star voting, evaluate the coaching staff, and highlight which young players we're excited to see Saturday. youtu.be/1HMP44iW7Xg #Argos #CFL
Here’s the injury report for today. No change from yesterday except Pelley didn’t practice due to illness. #Argos #CFL
Here’s Toronto’s injury report for today. I’d really like to see Ciraco get some time Saturday. Chop Williams practiced full, which is great news, but I saw enough from him in three games to know I want him to be a big part of next year’s plans. #Argos #CFL
PICK-SIX - It's your last chance of the 2025 season to win free beer! Ask an Argos question. If we answer it on this week's show, you win a six pack of beer courtesy of Something in the Water Brewing. #Argos
POSTGAME REACTION: The Argos fell 27–19 in Regina, but showed grit in a tough environment against the league’s best. In evaluation mode, with new faces, Toronto battled the Riders to the wire. JB and I break it all down right here: youtu.be/_Nju-gHBIx0 #Argos #Riders #CFL
Here's how Toronto will line up against Saskatchewan tomorrow night. Vandal moves to LG, Bosse to RG with Kemp back in at LT. Hood, Duggan, Chaves, Giffen, and Anderson all dress and should see time.

PREGAME WALKTHROUGH - JB and I get you set for Toronto's first true “evaluation game” under Ryan Dinwiddie as the Argos head to Regina. With Arbuckle and McManis shut down, Toronto will get a chance to look at its young talent down the stretch. youtu.be/EfK5ekQ9F4U #Argos #CFL
PICK-SIX: Who do you want to see over the last two games? What moves need to be made? Ask an Argos question for your chance to win a six pack of beer from Something in the Water Brewing. #Argos
POSTGAME REACTION: The Argos fell 47–29 to Hamilton and are now eliminated from playoff contention. They gave up nine sacks, Arbuckle was knocked out in the first series, and the defence got burned early. JB and I break it all down. youtu.be/Yyj14pQ12S4 #Argos #Ticats #CFL
Here's how Toronto will line up vs Hamilton. Only a few changes, but they're newsworthy. Sage Doxtater returns and starts at LG, Hampton Ergle starts in place of Kemp at LT, and Joe Wallace makes his Argos debut at DT for Lanier with Correia starting. #Argos #Ticats #CFL
As I understand it, the joust involved a tremendous amount of death prior to Edward’s implementation of rules. I’m sure not everyone was on board with the rule changes. Perhaps some fans and a few high profile knights thought he was Frenchifying the joust. 😉
Nothing other than he’s not ready to return. Concussions are all different, and everyone responds differently. Plus, this was one of the most brutal hits to the head I’ve ever seen. I just hope he can return to full health, football aside.
Here’s Toronto’s injury and availability report for this week. Kemp and Lanier are out. Arbuckle, Doxtater, Hunter, and Judge are available, and Ungerer will most likely be a GTD. #Argos #Ticats #CFL
PREGAME WALKTHROUGH - JB and I are back ahead of the Argos’ final home game vs Hamilton. We get into the quiet trade deadline, our own CFL rule changes, and the razor-thin playoff path. Listen here or on your favourite podcast app: youtu.be/YJUZZynrIuw

Well that’s just great! I’ve been reading your stuff for the last candlemark instead like a Dickensian orphan with an Athletic subscription. READING, Eric.
Where am I supposed to get my ‘Topes analysis in an audio format?

They dressed every OL they had. Dankwah, Doxtater, Giffen, Moore, and Sceviour are all injured. They have three OL on the practice roster, but I don’t think they were better options.
