I really just hope Miller being out of the picture speeds along this process. Other teams are starting to sign their FAs and we need to get our guy in place, discuss roster construction within the context of his offence, and start putting things into place before Christmas.

Almost 3 weeks since the GC was played and Walters hasn't used left-over 2025 SMS to re-up anyone, it's either already spent and he's waiting on the 2026 budget, or they'll announce a few signings together just before they shut down for Christmas.

Curious if they have a program to promote season ticket sales for stocking stuffers?

Condell as OC. Harris as RB coach. Jackson as QB coach.

Oh, we're apparently now at the stage of fabricated victimhood and projection.

Not a chance Lapo is our next OC—he's got too many irons in the football fire to confine himself to being OC

He's getting paid more for a cushy gig as an analyst, and his job isn't on the line every week depending if a team loses.  Zero chance he goes back to coaching unless he loses that analyst gig, or goes mental and takes a pay cut and wants more stress in his life.

At this point, I actually think you're right that this is the attitude the league has adopted. We have nothing else to point to because they've been dodgy and radio silent other than "this is what we are doing".

Good that you can recognize it and I mean that kindly and with compassion.

The "no, you!" retort is so infantile. You're not telling anyone how anything is; you're just being needlessly argumentative for no apparent reason.

Speaking of telling others how it is: the decision was made before we even began the debate on this forum.

Maybe take your own advice and move on; others can continue to discuss the topic without your useless, unbearable interference.

You mean you would like to continue the echo chamber free of other opinions and points of view.

I've been here for a long time and am not going anywhere, please be assured, regardless of the fit you're throwing and your insistence that you should be left alone to talk in circles about how "correct" your opinion is.

I exactly told you how it is. You just don't like it. I'm really not sure what about my comments can possibly be untrue. They're blunt and not subtle. But they are the truth.

Not only would Toronto need a stadium but the NFL also doesnt allow corporations to own franchises.

I cant see Toronto getting an NFL franchise within the next 15-20 years.

Alot needs to happen in the meantime. The Argos playing in Toronto is a minor concern compared to the other issues.

I did my research on this a number of years ago and there are significant cost impacts to anyone trying to land an NFL franchise in Toronto. I would have to research my findings (buried someone in a file cabinet) but here is what I remember.

First of all everything dollar wise must be in USD (at about 135-440% conversion rate today).

- The current stadium does not qualify in terms of seating numbers - new stadium would need to be built.
- Transfer fees or new franchise fees that would have to be paid will run into multi millions.
- The NFL requires new teams or a change in franchise to put into escrow 7 years (maybe 10 years) operating budget to ensure that the franchise lasts that long. This is a big ticket item.

So getting an NFL team in the Big Smoke just is not going to happen IMHO!
