Sure to be wooed by the Toronto Argonauts, from whence he came, the free-agent-to-be did something in the blink of an eye that Khari Jones and Dieter Brock couldn’t over a combined 14 seasons: Ride in a championship parade down Portage Avenue.

Collaros’ place on that “float” — the back of a truck, actually — as it navigated Portage and Main, surrounded by throngs of fans, had to be the most significant appearance by an athlete at the famous intersection since the WHA’s Winnipeg Jets backed up the Brink’s truck for Bobby Hull, 47 years ago.
