Argos / Eskimos Post Game Show: August 23, 2014

Here’s something new. We decided to give Google Hangouts On Air a try last night after the Argonauts/Eskimos game. It was supposed to be simply a roundtable discussion on the game we just watched (Argos lost to the Esks!), but turned out to be a ‘plethora’ of topics – and some special guests (“Turkish Bradwell!” and Creepy Mic Guy) as well.

** Post game chat: We're going to attempt a 'Hangouts On Air' (video chat) following the game to talk Argos. Stay tuned.

I believe you need a G+ account to participate. Will broadcast the link you need in a bit… #argos
