The mess that is the Toronto Argonauts has begun digging itself out of 2009 quagmire created by the nitwit owners, the lame GM, and suddenly dead quiet Micheal Clemons.
I have watched this team in bad times, seen some truly bad talent plat here, so when I say this team is not that bad talent wise, trust me, I know.
I am likely on shaky ground with that statement, but the defense needed 2009 to remake itself, and it did, despite the antics of it's head coach.
The office is run by nincompoops, and Adam Rita has escaped the noose because Bob Nicholson needs someone to answers the phones until CFL Commisar Cohon steps is and says, okay boys, " Who owns the team ? Really ??? " Then once David Braley who already owns the Lions, finds a local buyer for his Leo's, he can begin the house cleaning exercise, and Adam, your ticket will get punched then.
Get me 4 talented receivers, and another defensive back who can play that rover position, and a kick returner who can actual make a difference, and a coaching staff that knows that there are only 3 downs, and that when you are averging 6.3 yards per rush , you don't abandon the run game just because you want to prove that you can mould QB's ( like you did in the NFL ).
If you can do all that, this situation is fixable, and this team is not that far off where Hamilton and Winnipeg are.
While I am at it, let's get Pinball out of the promo booth and back involved with this team, and make him the GM, hire a Canadian coach, and I bet you dollars to doughnuts, this team gets back to .500 next year.
Okay, that's it for this year, I am going to sit back for the holidays and reflect fondly on the Flutie years, the Dunigan years, and the Damon Allen years, maybe even the Conredge Holliway years, while chestnust roast over my open fire.
G'Bye Black Bart, see ya in the funny papers....
Merry Christmas Everyone
