ARGOS VS. BANG
We now know what it takes to dislodge The Big Bang Theory from its usual No. 1 spot with local TV viewers: for the Toronto Argonauts to compete for the Grey Cup on home turf for the first time in 30 years. We guess those post-game numbers would’ve been lower had the Argos not beaten the Stamps 35-22.

YEP TO ZEP
There’s something sad about the reunited Led Zeppelin album. They were the one classic-rock band that decided, as soon as an essential member left (in John Bonham’s case, by dying in 1980), the band didn’t exist anymore. This is the first album without Bonham; so begins the backslide to staggering along.
