Imagine having to start Antonio Pipkin in the EF......ha ha ha ha. Oh my stars....

And Masoli is unvaxxed.

I would be. Even if he gets to play on Sunday, which I'm certain he will, he misses today's practice and has a ton of uncertainty.

Wouldn’t that mean he can’t play?

Nope, not traveling across a provincial border, so he can play. Absolute crap rules.

That makes me so upset.

 

I am upset now.

I do believe ships had cannons... maybe even before planes had cannons (but I'm no historian)

Ancient Greek Triremes? Or modern crew rowers?

******* Masoli....what a POS. You're supposed to be the undisputed team leader. F*** that guy so much.

Travel with the team should include busses as well.

******* Masoli.

Like I said I'm no historian. Dow DID the argonauts defeat ocean giants, skeleton armies and hydras without guns? I must brush up.

**** Hamilton.

Hope the Argos win.

Jamie Nye is criticizing a Rider getting a break?

Their season truly is over.

I have absolutely no doubts this will get brushed aside and MBT will play on Sunday. But it's really funny how bush league this looks...

This will in no way allow the likes of the prominent anti-CFL cabal within the Toronto media to make hay about how small time the CFL is...

On the very ******* weekend where our game ought to be celebrated in Southern Ontario.

I'm not sure if it's a criticism of the Riders, per se. More of a criticism of the rules for quarantine. Messed up rules, for sure.

Yeah I edited my post right after because it was not really criticism of the Riders.

The Argos have actually done a fairly decent job of riding the momentum into this game (the Raptors appearance being a part of that), but these shenanigans- whether MBT plays or not - just ruins it. A good exciting game could have been such a boon for the franchise and fan base.

Reminds me of some Bombers teams when, every time we’d get some momentum going and get a sellout stadium. We’d totally **** the bed and send everyone home miserable.

The Blue Bombers are named after a boxer. Why do we use planes at all?

It is our thing, get your own.

This kind of explains why punches are thrown in the end zone after the Bombers score a touchdown.

(But only when the Riders are visiting)

The plane is a connection to our long history of having an air force base in Winnipeg. CFB Winnipeg was built in 1925, I think. 

These rules make no sense and reflect poorly on the league. Every other league has crafted a policy for this seemingly successfully. Now the TiCats benefit twice from this stupidity. Not only will Toronto start their backup, but their unvaccinated starter can play simply because the game is in Ontario.

People like Masoli have **** takes on what it is to be a true leader. Thanks for self identifying. 

MLSE can get ****** afaic. This is such a joke of a situation and it's 100% on them for creating it. CFL needs to get them out asap.

Nah hope they both lose. They both blow ugly chunks of vomit. Wishing Montreal would have made it thru. I’m liking Khari Jones, after that they’re all dead to me.
