ICYMI: Not surprisingly, @petermansbridge kept me on my toes chatting about Ben Johnson, the Seoul Olympics, sports justice & more. Grateful to discuss my new book “World’s Fastest Man*” and hear PM’s pointed observations. Have a listen if you can. @sutherlandbooks

This picture has it all for me. ❤️ John Candy, the owner of the #Argos at the time. Legend Carl Brazley. A very young Danny Webb. 😮 🌊 💪 From Paul Woods’ great book “Year of the Rocket.”

I had the pleasure and honour of hosting the first Canadian Football Alumni lunch today, with featured guests Paul Clatney and Adam Rita. Here is a video I enjoyed putting together about them. youtu.be/1ZTcm83rMsM?si…
It was a good turnout today. I didn't count heads, but I'd guess 50ish, including more than a handful of former players. It was a great first effort, especially on a Monday. There will be another one and I'm sure this will grow.

@MikeHoganArgos Like the saying “It’s worth the trip to Acton.” I got to stock up my library with ‘Year of the Rocket’ (Paul Woods, Adam Rita and Paul Clatney signed) & ‘Taming Mad Dog’ (Jason Riley signed). Great idea inviting the Ticats Alumni. They made those seasons special. @CFL_Alumni
I hope a lot of you were able to attend and support this event, and that we'll be seeing these lunches happening regularly from now on. The different ways in which Argos alumni have enriched our community for generations is mind-blowing. #pulltogether #torontolife

@BygoneBoatmen A great event.Paul Clatney & Adam Rita were excellent & nice Grey Cup 🏆 connection. MC Paul Woods couldn’t have done a better job. Time flew by. Loved that HC Rita story. He had a decision 2 make on unknown William & Mary RB for HC Don Matthews - “Pinball” 👍 @TOArgosAlumni
Predictably, Farhan's sensible take provoked lots of "this will ruin the game/injuries are an acceptable part of the game" responses.

I completely agree with the premise of the piece, but surprised that one other big-name signing was left out: Bruce Clark in 1980. Defensive tackles aren't "marquee" players, but Clark was the fourth overall pick in NFL draft; spurned Packers to sign with Argos.

@pxw13 I'm not surprised. We seem to do this annually! Civilly, thankfully. My concern, as in other off-seasons, is to argue that aping the NFL and never changing nothing ever are not our only options. (And it gets tiresome being slotted into the latter group by the former.)
Game-used helmets of Calgary Stampeders all-time offensive leaders: Scoring 13. Mark McLoughlin 1988-2003 (2957 points); Receiving 18. Allen Pitts 1990-2000 (14,891 yards); Passing 19. Bo Levi Mitchell 2012-22 (32,541 yards); Rushing 21. Joffrey Reynolds 2004-2011 (9,213 yards).
Recommendation 🚨 April 16th “Worlds Fastest Man*” drops. Ben Johnson winning the 1988 100m Olympic final was the greatest moment in Canadian sports history IMO. Author @MaryOrmsby-Scarborough kid, OSU buckeye, powerhouse sportswriter @TorontoStar for 30+ years. Gold.
