Toronto Argonauts colour analyst on TSN 1050, host of Xs and Argos, retired football coach, 2x National Champion, proud husband and father.
Beaming with pride tonight as my wife was inducted into the McMaster Sports Hall of Fame - honoured for guiding the Marauders to the 2000 OUA title and 2001 national championship. It was awesome to see her whole team back together again to celebrate!

Here's how Toronto will suit up in Calgary. I've been waiting to see Brevin Allen all year - he dresses at DE, and Tieide is in at wideout. The Argos are also dressing two long snappers, two kickers, and a punter.

Here’s the injury report for today. No change from yesterday except Pelley didn’t practice due to illness. #Argos #CFL

Here’s Toronto’s injury report for today. I’d really like to see Ciraco get some time Saturday. Chop Williams practiced full, which is great news, but I saw enough from him in three games to know I want him to be a big part of next year’s plans. #Argos #CFL

Here's how Toronto will line up vs Hamilton. Only a few changes, but they're newsworthy. Sage Doxtater returns and starts at LG, Hampton Ergle starts in place of Kemp at LT, and Joe Wallace makes his Argos debut at DT for Lanier with Correia starting. #Argos #Ticats #CFL
October 3, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Here’s Toronto’s injury and availability report for this week. Kemp and Lanier are out. Arbuckle, Doxtater, Hunter, and Judge are available, and Ungerer will most likely be a GTD. #Argos #Ticats #CFL

Here’s the injury and availability report for Toronto as they head to B.C. Arbuckle is available, as is Kemp. Herdman-Reed’s absence will hurt as he’s been a special teams beast. It’s a short injury list, but don’t forget they’ve got 13 guys on the six-game. #Argos #BCLions #CFL

Here’s how the Argos will line up Friday night against the Alouettes. Doege gets the start at QB, Duggan will dress. Vandal is active and will start at LG. Slywka returns to safety, bumping Bratton back to boundary half and Drew to field corner for Hood. #Argos #Alouettes #CFL

Here’s the injury and availability report for the Argos as they prepare to host Montreal Friday night. Arbuckle, Doxtater, Giffen, and Varga are out. Brown, Hajrullahu, Slywka, and Vandal should all be good to go. #Argos #CFL
September 17, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Here’s Toronto’s first injury report of the short week. It sounds like Arbuckle could be out for a few weeks, and Doxtater still not practicing is bad news, but Slywka and Vandal appear to be working their way back. #Argos #CFL

Here's how Toronto will line up against Edmonton. The'll go light at WR and OL, and heavy in the box, dressing 8 DL and 9 LB. Brown and McMahon are both good to go, and Guillemette and Hansen both return. Bratton remains in for Slywka at safety with Drew at HB.

Here’s today’s injury report for Toronto. It’s great to see Slywka practice full - he was badly missed. Spencer Brown’s appearance here is concerning, especially with McMahon still working his way back. #Argos #CFL

Over the past six games, Arbuckle has thrown for 2137 yards with 14 TD and 2 INT. There have been no "garbage time" drives in these games. Over a full season that would put Nick at 74% for 6411 yards with 42 TD and 6 INT. That's how well Arbuckle is playing right now. #Argos #CFL
