The Toronto Argonauts could be sold within a matter of weeks, either to Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment or its chairman, Larry Tanenbaum, according to multiple sources. Wes Horton Jersey . Talks between David Braley and MLSE have heated up in recent months to the point that the MLSE board, which includes Tanenbaum as well as representatives from Bell and Rogers, was asked to vote during December on acquiring the CFL team. While the board could not agree on the matter, there remains the possibility that MLSE could revisit buying the team or that Tanenbaum himself may purchase it. An Argo purchase by MLSE or Tanenbaum makes potential sense from both ends of the deal. From the Argos perspective, the team is in desperate need of a new practice facility, having been told by the University of Toronto that its Mississauga campus can no longer house the football team. With three months until the opening of CFL training camps, a sale would presumably open the door to the Argos taking up residence at the KIA Training Ground, the practice home of Toronto FC which includes three full-size grass fields, four artificial fields and a 40,000 square foot field house in Downsview. Being sold to Tanenbaum or MLSE would make the Argos part of the plan for a redesigned BMO Field, thus solving their need to build a new home from scratch when they vacate Rogers Centre after the 2017 season. MLSE president and CEO Tim Leiweke has stated several times in recent months that the Argos could factor into future plans at BMO, a position in stark contrast to that of his predecessors, who saw the facility as soccer-only. From the perspective of Tanenbaum or MLSE, owning the Argos could be a chip towards the goal of securing a National Football League team, based on the NFL wanting assurance that moving a team to Toronto would not kill the Argos or the CFL. "(Tanenbaum) has always had an affection for them," said former MLSE president and CEO Richard Peddie. "Everything Im hearing is that that the NFL is telling them that if you want an NFL team, you better make sure the Argos are okay. I dont think its out of the realm that he may do it." As well, having the Argos as a second tenant at BMO Field could help MLSEs drive to secure investment from government to redevelop the stadium, which is a publicly-owned facility operated by MLSE exclusively for soccer at this time. "Ive got to believe that theyre thinking of the Argos in that facility," said Peddie. "Can you design a stadium with moveable sections and not lose the intimacy? Yes, you probably can." The Argonauts are currently owned by Hamilton businessman David Braley, who has been exploring options for a new stadium in the Greater Toronto Area in recent months.Though the Argonauts have consistently lost money at Rogers Centre, it is believed their business model could continue to improve with the right arrangement at BMO, combined with increased revenues from the CFLs new television deal which kicks in this season. This isnt the first time MLSE has looked at a potential Argo purchase. The Argos had been offered up to MLSE when the team was owned by David Cynamon and Howard Sololowski, who sold to David Braley in February of 2010. However, the ownership of MLSE and many of the dynamics within the citys professional sports scene have changed since those days, most notably with Liewekes arrival and the notion of trying to land an NFL team.In November, reports surfaced of Tanenbaum, Lieweke and rock star Jon Bon Jovi teaming up to pursue a future relocation of the Buffalo Bills to Toronto.

Ian Thomas Jersey .com) - Mikko Korhonen carded a 5-under 67 on Thursday to claim medalist honors at the European Tours Final Qualifying Stage tournament. http://www.cheapjetsjerseyssale.com/?tag=thomas-davis-sr-jersey-sale . A spokeswoman for the NLRB says its "a very incremental move" and does not necessarily indicate the board is close to a finding in the case. NFL owners filed an unfair labour charge against the players union in February, arguing that the union was not negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement in good faith.Can Robbie Lawler successfully defend the UFC welterweight title against Tyron Woodley? Sky Sports exclusively asked Stephen Wonderboy Thompson, who is due to face the winner... How can Robbie Lawler win?Wonderboy said: He needs to use his distance, use his jab. If he can last the first round when Tyron is most dangerous, if he can stop that flurry, he has a chance to win. He needs to keep Tyron on his toes, backing up, because Tyron has a very difficult time backing up on his heels. If Robbie can keep that aggression, I think he can finish Tyron Woodley. Robbie Lawler (left) must avoid a dangerous first five minutes, says Thompson Robbie has been in a few five-round wars in his past few fights so Im interested to see how durable he is.We all know hes tough and he can take some shots. But Im interested to see what type of movement Robbie is going to put on Tyron. If hes going to be the aggressor, he really needs to watch out for Tyrons explosive movement coming straight in. Is he going to use movement or is he going to be the aggressor that weve always seen? Wonderboy on Lawler How can Tyron Woodley win?Wonderboy said: He needs to use his explosive ability to land that one, big punch to change Robbies mind-set. Tyron Woodley can KO anybody with one shot, says Thompson If Tyron hits you with that shot, its definitely going to make Robbie a little bit wary of coming in. That will make time for Tyron to use his wrestling, either by getting Robbie up against the cage or in a clinch position to tire Robbie out.If Tyron can tire him out, it will make it easier to shoot for the legs aand put Robbie on his back. Greg Olsen Jersey. . If he can get Robbie on his back, he can win that fight. Tyron has got that one-hitter-quitter power. You get hit once with that shot, youre going down. Wonderboy on Woodley Wonderboys prediction: I do think Robbie is the superior fighter. Hes the guy thats been on a tear. Im hoping Robbie is going to win - he is going to win. Its been too long that Tyron hasnt stepped in the Octagon to fight, and cage rust is a real phenomenon. Thompson expects Lawler to remain welterweight champion So how would you defeat Lawler?Wonderboy said: I see him using his jab, using the mean left hand that he broke Rory MacDonalds nose with.He does have some kicks - he mostly uses a backwards roundhouse kick but he breaks people with his willpower. He takes a lot of shots and keeps on coming, breaking peoples wills and momentum. Stephen Wonderboy Thompson. Credit: Instagram @wonderboymma As you saw when he fought Rory MacDonald who hit with a bunch of shots - the next thing you know, here comes Robbie back at him, and you see the life die in Rorys eyes. Hes done that to all of his fighters.I like it when fighters are like Robbie because I move differently to everybody else. Hes going to have a harder time hitting me. I use my kicks more than the last few guys that hes fought. My side-kick will help keep Robbie at bay. If Robbie finishes Tyron and doesnt get too scuffed up, Im hoping we can do this in Madison Square Garden. Also See: UFC What happened to Holly Holm?
