Okay, so it's mid-week and we still don't know if either Damon Allen or Spergon Wynn are good to go against the Lions on Saturday. Eric Crouch is untested as a starter. Even Darnell Kennedy - yes, it's come to Darnell Kennedy updates - appears to be hobbling. So with Doug Flutie apparently sticking with broadcasting, we've done the obvious thing - trolled around to see which other QB from the Argos' relatively recent past might be available.

Problem is, it's not just Flutie who's got a promising post-football career going. Rickey Foggie - who somehow played arena ball through 2004 - is now offensive coordinator for the storied Macon Knights, and being hailed as some sort of arena football genius. Andre Ware, Flutie's former backup, sure as hell ain't coming - not when his burgeoning acting career has him landing plum roles like "Fireman" on an episode of According to Jim. Even the lamentable Kerwin Bell appears to have found work coaching high school football in Florida. (If there's a better mentor for kids, we sure can't think of him.)

But there is one man we think might be up to the job. Now, admittedly, we didn't see Romaro Miller play much; we think we might have watched him start for the Ottawa Renegades once, but like the Renegades' entire existence it might have just been an elaborate dream sequence. But we do know we saw Romaro at the Argos' post-game celebrations when they won the Grey Cup in '04, and that was enough to convince us.

See, there was lots of good stuff going on there. Arland Bruce in a pinstripe suit with matching hat...a drunken Tony Miles telling strangers in the bathroom how much champagne he'd had...Andre Rison double-fisting what appeared to be Courvoisier, and trying his best not to impregnate anyone. But absolutely nothing topped Miller making an early exit by hopping into a waiting limo with not one, not two but three comely ladies on his arm.

We have no idea how a journeyman third-string CFL quarterback could afford a limo; we'd have expected him to be asking us for cab fare. But it doesn't much matter. First off, we know that Romaro has the Spergon Touch, which is all we can really ask of our fill-in QBs. More importantly, whatever he's doing right now, we can't imagine it involves any of the side benefits he enjoyed back in his '04 heyday. If there's one guy who's sitting by the phone waiting for the Argos' call, it pretty much has to be this guy.
