I listened to the BC broadcast of the game. Rick Ball kept wondering why Wally didn't put Jarious Jackson back in the game. Two Lion o-linemen at the same position (right guard?) were injured, leaving it up to a young rookie playing his first CFL game. He was obviously overmatched, and Jackson may have been better able to elude the tacklers.

I didn't watch the game (tending to a newborn instead), but I wondered this as well. Buono gets stubborn with Dickenson sometimes. Remember the Grey Cup loss when he wouldn't throw in Casey Printers, the league MVP.

Just in case you haven't noticed, here is the link to the Grey Cup contest I started yesterday. The prize is a Mosaic gift certificate.

Here is a good article from Steve Simmons on what the Argos need to do in the off-season.

Thanks for posting that GA. That's exactly what I was saying, the Argos not being in the Grey Cup is directly tied to poor management/coaching decisions.

I've just discovered a website you might enjoy for Grey Cup Week:

It appears to be The Drudge Report for the CFL!

The Globe's Stephen Brunt says that there are plans in Hamilton to build a new ballpark.

"There are also a lot of indications right now that Hamilton is going to get a new, downtown stadium as part of a larger urban renewal effort."

Look at the defensive backfield. Four Argos!

I thought that Nick Setta had a great year, but I'm surprised that he was picked over Sandro DeAngelis.

Anyone have any thoughts about the game?

If I see anything more about the Grey Cup game or the 2007 season, I'll post it here. But for off-season news, I have started a new Hot Stove League thread here:
