L’acquisition de Joe Veleno n’est pas passée sous le silence aujourd’hui, alors que les Canadiens de Montréal lui a octroyé un contrat d’un an, d’une valeur de 900 000$. Centre gaucher, il vient certainement pallier le départ de Christian Dvorak, mais répondra-t-il aux attentes? Selon Antoine Roussel, ancien joueur de la LNH, Veleno est capable, le talent est présent, mais il va certainement devoir s’adapter, chose qui a été plus difficile dans le passé, avec les Red Wings de Detroit et les Blackhawks de Chicago. Roussel est tout de même content que ce soit Martin St-Louis qui prendra sous son aile Veleno! Alors que les rivaux de toujours, les Argonauts de Toronto, seront de passage au Stade Percival-Molson jeudi pour y affronter les Alouettes de Montréal, nous recevons l’entraîneur de la ligne offensive des moineaux, Luc Brodeur-Jourdain afin de mettre la table sur ce duel. Montréal tentera de rebondir après deux défaites consécutives et, bonne nouvelle, le quart-arrière partant Davis Alexander effectuera un retour au jeu. Brodeur-Jourdain nous louange d’ailleurs les efforts et le travail hors-norme d’Alexander! Eugénie Bouchard a annoncé sur ses réseaux sociaux aujourd’hui que qu’elle disputera son dernier tournoi professionnel à l’Omnium Banque Nationale. Âgée de 31 ans, Bouchard mettra un terme à une carrière marquée par un sommet au 5e rang mondial, atteint en 2014, année où elle s’était notamment illustrée en atteignant la finale à Wimbledon. Selon Hugues Léger, Bouchard a ouvert beaucoup de portes dans le tennis canadien et québécois. Maintenant, les jeunes femmes peuvent y croire et cela, c’est en grande partie en raison des bonnes performances d’Eugénie! Marie-Pier Houle est arrivée avec le sourire jusqu’aux oreilles et avec raison, son groupe vient d’officialiser son prochain combat de championnat! Elle se battra en septembre prochain contre la Portoricaine Stephanie Piñeiro Aquino pour la ceinture de la WBA chez les 147 lb. Elle a tenu à féliciter sa grande équipe qui l’a soutenu depuis le début de sa carrière.

Ben Grant and JB are back to get you ready for Week 7 of the 2025 CFL season as the 1-4 Argonauts head to Montreal to take on the 3-2 Alouettes. There were plenty of roster moves this week as the Argos begin to get healthier, and the guys break down each transaction, including the releases of Kevin Brown, Donald Rutledge, and Daniel Kwamou. They also dive into a tough question: how soon is too soon to bring a player back from injury? That discussion includes updates on Chad Kelly, Wynton McManis, Jack Cassar, and Deonta McMahon. Plus, they hit all your favourite segments: Pick Six, OCDC, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, and Challenge Flag.

It's the first bye week of the 2025 season for Toronto, and Ben Grant and JB are using the break to take stock of where the Argonauts stand after five games. In this Bye Week Edition of the Xs and Argos Podcast, the guys hand out grades for every positional group on the roster. Some units are trending up and getting reinforcements shortly, while others are heading right back into the fight as-is. They also unveil their updated CFL Power Rankings and check in with classic segments Put Me Down for 20 and Challenge Flag.

It was a shootout at BMO Field, but the Toronto Argonauts couldn't keep pace, falling 51–38 to the rival Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Ben Grant and JB break down a frustrating night where the offence finally found its rhythm - Nick Arbuckle delivered his best performance yet in relief of Chad Kelly, and Janarion Grant brought the house down with a kickoff return touchdown. But with so many starters out due to injury, the defence simply couldn't hold up. Despite being in phase on most throws, the Boatmen gave up big play after big play to a red-hot Bo Levi Mitchell and a Hamilton offence that couldn't seem to miss. What's fixable, what's encouraging, and what has to change fast as the Argos slip to 1–4 on the season? It's all here on this week's Postgame Reaction Podcast.

In this episode, Matt Kelly and I review Jason and the Argonauts (1963) -- quite possibly the Greatest Movie EVER!

The Toronto Argonauts are finally on the board in 2025, earning their first win of the season with a 29-16 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks at TD Place. This week's Postgame Reaction is packed with everything you need to relive one of the most exciting and unconventional Argos wins in recent memory. Ben Grant and JB break down a three-phase performance, including two touchdowns from safety Derek Slywka - one on a record-setting scoop-and-score, and another on a blocked field goal return, both of over 100 yards, and a receiving touchdown from right tackle Ryan Hunter. Plus, we've got full radio play-by-play replays of the game's biggest moments, insight, and analysis you won't find anywhere else.

It's the Pregame Walkthrough presented by Something in the Water Brewing. Ben Grant and JB are here to get you ready for Sunday night as the 0-3 Argos travel to Ottawa to face the 1-2 REDBLACKS. This week, they react to Coach Dinwiddie's fiery postgame comments and why they were needed, they look at former Argo QB Michael O'Connor's Team Canada flag football win over Team USA, a massive signing at nose tackle, and somehow... a jump in the power rankings. Plus, they'll go through the injury report and bring you all the usual segments in preparation for what JB is calling a must-win game.

TSN's Luke Willson takes shots at the CFL product, was his take 'hot garbage'?  Chop blocks, why are they still in the game?  Quarterback injuries mount, again.  Roughrirders escape from Toronto with a 'Mario Miracle'... a moment for the ages.  Argonauts' Coach Ryan Dinwiddie fumes over third straight lost to start the 2025 CFL season.  (Mario Alford touchdown audio courtesy of 620 CKRM Cooperators Rider Broadcast Network; CFL on CBC theme music is used with express written permission; podcast recorded June 25, 2025).

The Toronto Argonauts suffered a heartbreaking loss to the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders after tying the game with just 23 seconds left. Despite being undermanned and suffering more injuries, the Argos pushed the Riders to the brink. But while there were some positives, the number of costly mistakes proved too much to overcome. Hosts Ben Grant and JB break down all the action from a wild night at BMO Field.

Ben Grant and JB return for another Pregame Walkthrough as the Toronto Argonauts get ready to host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at BMO Field. This week, they break down two key roster moves: the return of running back Kevin Brown and the signing of Indiana linebacker Aaron Casey. Both additions highlight growing concerns about injuries at both positions. They also dig into the quarterback situation, explaining why Coach Dinwiddie is likely to start Nick Arbuckle again. From there, it's a deeper look at the offensive struggles - what's stalling drives, and what the Argos can do to spark some momentum. Of course, no Walkthrough is complete without the game preview, injury reports, Pick-Six, OCDC, One Thing, Put Me Down for 20, Challenge Flag, and more.

The Toronto Argonauts dropped to 0-2 after a tough 29-19 loss to the Calgary Stampeders at BMO Field. Despite the result, there were some bright spots: a great crowd, a memorable Grey Cup banner-raising ceremony, and 10,000 fans going home with replica championship rings. On the field, Chop Williams emerged as a standout with an electrifying performance at running back. Who else impressed? And what needs to change for the Argos to notch their first win of the season? Hosts Ben Grant and JB break it all down and search for answers in a loss that felt eerily similar to last week's in Montreal.

Hosts Ben Grant and JB are back with another Pregame Walkthrough as the Toronto Argonauts get set for their 2025 home opener at BMO Field this Saturday. This week, they take a deep dive into what went wrong in Montreal, with a special focus on Toronto's pass protection breakdowns. Was it scheme, execution, or something Montreal did that caused so much trouble up front? We break down the latest CFL transactions - including former Argonaut Ka'Deem Carey finding a new home in Saskatchewan. And of course, it wouldn't be a Pregame Walkthrough without all the usual segments: predictions, key matchups, player spotlights, and a look at what the Argos need to do to bounce back in front of the home crowd against Calgary.

The Toronto Argonauts dropped their first season-opener in the Ryan Dinwiddie era 28-10 to the Montreal Alouettes. It was a mistake-filled game for the Double Blue, and the offence really struggled, but there were still some positives to draw on. We've got radio replays, analysis, positional breakdowns, and where the Argos go from here as they look to regroup back at BMO Field.

Josh is the writer of Gyro and the Argonauts - "the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus) than he ever dreamed." “With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth Josh shares the book's origin, his writing process, his journey as a creative and more.

One of the major beauties of the summer sky dangles in the northeast this evening like a piece of cosmic jewelry – the constellation Lyra. Its brightest star is Vega – the fifth-brightest star in the night sky. It sparkles like the diamond stud in an earring. The rest of Lyra hangs to its lower right like the rest of the earring. It forms a parallelogram – a slanted rectangle. Under fairly dark skies, it’s easy to see. Lyra represents a lyre – a small harp. In skylore, it was sometimes shown being held by a large bird – an eagle or vulture. In fact, the name “Vega” comes from an Arabic phrase that means “the falling eagle.” But mainly the lyre was associated with the story of Orpheus. His music was legendary. When he accompanied Jason and the Argonauts, his playing silenced the Sirens – evil creatures who lured sailors to their doom. Orpheus married Eurydice. But she was bitten by a snake and died. Orpheus begged Hades, the god of the underworld, to let Eurydice return to him. His music was so beautiful that Hades agreed. But there was one condition: Orpheus couldn’t look back until they were outside. But he couldn’t resist – he looked too soon, and Eurydice vanished into the underworld forever. Orpheus was heart-broken. He roamed aimlessly across the countryside, playing sad but beautiful music on his lyre – an instrument commemorated in the stars. We’ll have more about Vega tomorrow.

On this edition of Parallax Views, you will hear an incredible story that, on its surface, you may mistake as being just about professional wrestling: the life and career of "The Golden Greek" Jim Londos. He was the biggest star of not only pro wrestling in the 1920s and 1930s, but arguably of sports itself. His popularity eclipsed that of the profession itself. He sold out stadiums of tens of thousands. Contrary to popular misconceptions, pro wrestling was not simply the domain of smoky rooms before the era of Hulk Hogan. Jim Londos is proof of that. In fact, it may be fair to say that Jim Londos was Hulk Hogan before Hulk Hogan. And just to drive that point home, one only need look at his match against Kola Kwariani on October 22nd, 1933 in Athens, Greece at the Panathenaic Stadium. The attendance for that event? It's said to be between 65,000 and 100,000. Simply put, Londos was a phenomenon. But, his story is much more than that of a pro wrestler. Londos is the story of an immigrant to the United States overcoming all odds. He is the story of a man who gave hope to the masses in the trying times of The Great Depression. A man who became a symbol of being able to overcome the greatest adversities. He was smaller in stature than many of his wrestling contemporaries. The classic underdog. And the fans loved him for it. He was their hero. He was "The Golden Greek" of professional wrestling. Joining J.G. on this edition of the show is journalist Steven Johnson. Although Johnson has done a lot of journalism related to pro wrestling and its storied history, he's also been a U.S. Senate aide and newspaper editor. Moreover, he has master's and Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. Over more than a decade he worked on a book to finally tell the story of Jim Londos. That book, recently released, is entitled Jim Londos: The Golden Greek of Professional Wrestling. Part of MacFarland's Studies in Strength of Physical Culture series, this book uncovers the life and times of an athletic performer who has been unfairly forgotten due to having wrestled in the pre-television era of the professional wrestling. In this conversation Steven I will discuss how he came around to the story of Jim Londos, the ways in which Londos story differs greatly from the more tragic rise & fall of early television-era wrestling Gorgeous George, the trials and tribulations of Jim Londos as a young immigrant in the United States of America in the early 20th century, the ways in which Londos is comparable to the mythical figure of Jason in the story of Jason and the Argonauts, how the legacy of Londos is carried on today by wrestlers like Bryan Danielson (aka Daniel Bryan), WWE superstar John Bradshaw Layfield's (JBL) foreword to the book, the wrestling double-crosses of the early 20th century that long predated the WWE's infamous "Montreal Screwjob", the colorful wrestling promoters of the Londos era (such as Toots Mondt and the Gold Dust Trio, Jack Pfefer, and Jack Curley), the legendary years long feud between Jim Londos and Ed "The Strangler" Lewis, Londos ability to make a crowd not only "believe" but "care" about his journey as a wrestler, and much, much more.

If you have a compass – physical or virtual – let it point you to the southeast as night falls for the constellation Pyxis – the celestial compass. It’s a short line of faint stars, aiming toward the remnants of the Argo – the ship that carried Jason and the Argonauts. In fact, Pyxis represents the Argo’s compass. You need a pretty dark sky to see even its brightest star. But that’s only because the star is about 900 light-years away. If you moved it to the distance of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, Alpha Pyxidis would outshine everything except the Sun and Moon. In astronomical parlance, Alpha Pyxis is “class B.” Astronomers classify stars by their surface temperature and color – hot stars are blue, while cool stars look orange or red. The hottest stars are class O, followed by class B. Alpha Pyx is tens of thousands of degrees hotter than the Sun, so it shines blue-white. The star is so hot because it’s more than 10 times as massive as the Sun. At that great mass, gravity squeezes the star tightly, making its interior intensely hot. As a result of those high temperatures, Alpha Pyxidis is “burning” through its hydrogen fuel in a hurry. So even though the star is less than one percent the age of the Sun, it’s already nearing the end of its life. Within a few million years, the star may go out with a bang: a titanic explosion known as a supernova. We’ll have more about Pyxis tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
