Even More Argonauts-As-Emoji Charades

In Part 1, we got carried away rendering the names of current and former members of the Toronto Argonauts as emoji (to recap, it all started with “๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฒ”, for “Bear Woods.”)

Here in the Department of We Just Can’t Let Things Go, are a few more.
My thanks to @TheScullerwag for some brilliant contributions to this list.

Some ground rules:



  1. You must be referring to a current or former player, coach, executive, or anybody else associated with the Toronto Argonauts


  2. The name must be rendered primarily using Emoji, but we will also allow other unusual characters from the Unicode standard


  3. We will allow broad interpretations of the meaning of certain Emoji in order to make these “jokes” work.
    In particular, we will allow a country’s flag to stand for various things – the two or three letter ISO country code or a term for a person from that country.
    Furthermore, knowing your mathematical symbols and periodic table may be required.


  4. If you don’t think all of these are side-splittingly hilarious, feel free to start your own list.

I thought I had peaked with with McLeod Bethel-Thompson but then @thescullerwag exceeded that with a brilliant rendering of Mookie Mitchell and scaled new heights – and plunged far back in history – with Nobby Wirkowski.

Without further ado,
