He is in the process of becoming a Canadian citizen I believe. Canadian Mike
:I actually met up with Pinball Clemons during Training camp this year, and asked him if he got his citizenship yet. He told me that he hasn't ... and that with his busy schedule, it'll likely be a while before he actually gets it.  He is still just a Permanent Resident of Canada ... a status that he got around the turn of the century. Amchow78 19:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I re-inserted it as "one of the oldest" and "oldest to continue under the same name" since Atlanta Braves name is from 1965 and Chicago Cubs name is from 1902. DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:51, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Since neither the Braves or Cubs are football teams, can't we call the Argonauts the oldest professional football team?  I'm changing it, but if anyone comes up with a good reason why this isn't true, feel free to revert and give the reason below. (NorthernFalcon 03:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

message: While the flags beside players names are pretty, I think it would be more useful, in the CFL context, to designate the players by IMP/NIP status. Any objections/comments/support? DoubleBlue (Talk) 14:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Since Toronto's colours are blue and white, i think we need a source for the assertion that Toronto teams wear blue in imitation of the Argos, especially as they wear the dark blue that's the city's colour. John FitzGerald 15:29, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the citation link to the Argos' website because it does not say that the Argos are the oldest pro sports team in North America with the same name. It says they are the oldest pro sports franchise in North America, which is at the very least highly arguable. For one thing, they were not a professional franchise until well on in their history.

replies: text: Though the Cincinnati Reds claim to date back to the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, they are not actually the same franchise.  However, this discussion has taken place elsewhere on this page, where I believe it reached a logical conclusion.  As for the "in the world" claim, I think there are several English football (soccer) clubs that are older.94.112.217.193 (talk) 12:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have restored the link to NFL in Toronto in the See also section. The subject article is related, especially since it discusses current support in Toronto municipal government for the Argos and against NFL expansion. 
That said, I have restructured the See also list so it flows: CFL-related articles - comparison of Canadian v. American football - NFL in Toronto. —C.Fred (talk) 15:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Then you might as well link the Baltimore Stallions to the Baltimore Ravens page.  It's a joke, and doesn't belong.  It's purely specualtive, and not even the same version of football.  All we've ever heard about the NFL in TOronto are rumours, and they were all false.--J3wishVulcan 23:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Under "1993", Argonauts GM Mike McCarthy is mentioned and linked to the article for current Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.  This article suggests he was working for the Kansas City Chiefs at the time, with no mention of the Argonauts.  I suspect this is a different Mike McCarthy.  Does anyone know? 
----
It is a different Mike McCarthy. The Argo GM in 1993 is this Mike McCarthy, seen in a Toronto Star story: http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/252780 and is now with the Ti-Cats http://www.ticats.ca/index.php?module=staff&func=display&staff_id=60  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rankinke (talk • contribs) 14:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: The Argonauts are one of six professional football teams to feature multiple Heisman Trophy winners on their roster. The champion 1997 team featured Doug Flutie and Andre Ware, the first time a team has had two Heisman winners at the quarterback position. The 2006 team featured Ricky Williams and Eric Crouch. The five other teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Raiders of the National Football League, and the Jacksonville Bulls and New Jersey Generals of the defunct United States Football League.

message: Any idea if Charlie Burns is the same person who owned the Argos?  The article doesn't mention anything about it, and he would have only been 20 at the time of the purchase.  The name is sufficiently common that I could see it being ambiguous.  TDL (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: After further investigation, this says his name was "Charles Fowler William Burns" while the subject of the wiki article is "Charles Frederick Burns".  I'll change the link.  TDL (talk) 20:14, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, just noticed. I remember searching all over to better identify Burns but found nothing more out there. But I appear to have left that link wrongly kicking around, so thanks. Dontreadalone (talk) 00:24, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
