Original Toronto Star caption: Singer Tommy Ambrose is a football super fan who bets on almost every game, and like a lot of Argo fans, is tired of losing. He feels like getting out the crying towel even before the games start. It isn't the money he loses betting, he says-it's a matter of pride and loyalty in the Argos for Tommy.
