Ticats return to lair, Aug. 3

If and when the NFL grants a franchise to Toronto, which will inevitably lead to the demise of the Toronto Argonauts (and eventually the CFL), the Star will be part of the reason for this demise.

On Monday, the day of a big game between the Toronto Argos and the Hamilton Ticats, the Star’s only coverage of this perennial rivalry was the small piece which they picked up from the Canadian Press. The Star couldn’t even assign one of its own sports writers to write about this important game. They were all too busy, I guess, covering the Blue Jays and their new million-dollar-a-game pitcher.

The Argos won an amazingly close game last week out West and the Star had no coverage of this unbelievably exciting game for two days following the game. The Argos are playing inspired and entertaining football. Maybe it’s time the Star did more than give the team token coverage.
