A Canadian football boardgame podcast. Two brothers play the 1980s boardgame Canadian Armchair Football as the Argos. Complete 1980 season available now.
Kinda symbolic that the Snowbirds final flight will fly over the 55 yard line at the Grey Cup, the final CFL game with a 55 yard line, and this being the 55th anniversary for the Snowbirds. #Snowbirds#GreyCup
Congratulations to my former CFL team, the Edmonton Elks(Eskimos) on making it to the Grey Cup! So happy for the new ownership, the Fans, and the City of Edmonton for finally getting back to where they belong!
Go Elks!!
The dust hasn't settled yet, and it's early, but here are some of my priorities for this off-season, some we talked about last night on the post game:
Re-sign Darnell Sankey
Re-sign Jevon Cottoy
Overhaul and focus on the offensive line. This needs to be the TOP priority. The Lions lost that game in the trenches yesterday. Protect Rourke, let him thrive.
Revaluate whether Buck Pierce is wearing too many hats. Does he need to surrender the play calling duties? Jason Maas did in Montreal, the results speak for themselves.
Find a receiver that can stretch the field. The Lions don't have that bug time long range receiver that consitently can get behind coverage. Some tough decisions coming with the receivers group.
Reassess the running game. All three running backs are under contract, rebuild the offensive line, and determine your best options.
Special Teams. The Lions must find a returner. It hurt them this year, and they simply have to find one and improve their cover teams.
They also need to find a kicker that can kick long field goals. Next year, they would have to get to the 25 yard line to be within Sean Whytes range.

The Toronto Argonauts have some big decisions to make heading into 2027.
Jacob Moore breaks down three players he believes GM Michael “Pinball” Clemons needs to bring back in Double Blue.
Do you agree with his picks?

This makes me so angry. High school field? Sure. Stitch all the lines in. Community field? Of course. No professional sports stadium - especially one as amazing as Mosaic - should have permanently stitched lines! #CFL
@NoahBeauso Haggerty was released Sunday according to the CFL’s transaction page. They’re both amazing. In a case like that, you go with the smaller contract.
#CFL#Argos@SLemonator -“I told them, when you start the season like we did — we played twice in Saskatchewan, twice in Winnipeg early — that’s crazy, that’s never happened before. I’m going to walk out of here today with my head hanging high. I’m proud of myself and thankful for this team. I wasn’t even on the team for the first seven weeks. I wasn’t in training camp. But I’ve come to love these guys.”
And they have come to love him. - @simmonssteve
Obviously, this isn’t the way we wanted this season to end, but sometimes that’s just the way things go.
But what a year, gang!
Twelve games on the road. A first in CFL history.
A first-year head coach helping turn a 5-13 team into a team that earned the right to host a home playoff game.
That’s something worth remembering.
Fans, this is a time for reflection, absolutely. But let’s keep things in perspective. Let’s not tear this team apart at the seams. Instead, let’s reflect on the decisions that could have been made differently, recognize the lessons to be learned, and hope our team takes those lessons into 2027.
Remember, there will be eight disappointed fan bases come November 16th. There are every year.
And through it all, we’re still 19-time Grey Cup Champions. That history and tradition mean something.
For me and my family, this is a bittersweet ending.
Bitter because of the hopes and dreams we had of watching our boys compete next week and hopefully make that trip to Calgary.
Sweet because we can finally take a breather after what has been a VERY long and tiresome season for both my wife and me.
But more than anything, this should be a time to celebrate YOU, the Double Blue faithful.
Despite being uprooted this season, yesterday’s attendance, both at the tailgate and at the game, was nothing short of proof that we are a strong, passionate, and united fan base.
The strides we made together as a group this year were absolutely amazing.
Please, give yourselves the credit you deserve. You helped make that happen.
And when it comes to our amazing and precious tailgate, what a step forward this year has been!
The fans who came out showed their determination, passion, and commitment to continuing to grow this into what we all hope will become the biggest and best tailgate in the CFL.
There’s still lots of work ahead this offseason, and we have a number of communication, information, and idea-sharing sessions planned over the coming months.
I genuinely believe these discussions will be productive, meaningful, and fruitful as we look to build on everything we’ve accomplished together.
Fellow fans, can I just say how much of an honour it has been to cheer on this Argos team alongside each and every one of you
I’m truly humbled by the support, the friendships, the commitment, and the passion you’ve all shown.
This isn't just a goodbye to the 2026 season. It's a thank-you to the people who made it special.
May everyone have a safe, happy, and well-deserved offseason.
From Karen, James, Olivia, and myself…
We love you all.
GO ARGOS!
Sincerely,
Ginger
