Yeah, I don't think cannon balls were being fired out of planes.

So just to confirm, MBT and 4 other players go the basketball game, breaching covid rules. I assume all of them are now going to be able to play after quarantining for 2 days & nights?? And a bunch of tests?? 

Are players allowed to go to restaurants?  Grocery stores?

Policy feels weird to me.

You'll have to argue with the people who designed and named them I guess.

Cannons haven't fired "balls" since the invention of the breech loading cannon around the midde of the 19th century.

The idea was large scale events with lots of people and no social distancing, so sporting events and concerts were a no. At first no restaurant unless with direct family member. Super spreader mentality. But was supposed to be reviewable after a couple of months of government rules changed, so I think some stuff got relaxed.

Have you seen the cannon in our stadium? That is the type we are talking about.

That thing would shoot cannon balls.

Sweet virus link 😀

I was pulling for als or argos vs us in the gc. After the covid violation and bs none punishment and the cats cheating the ratio I wish Montreal had won. Or even ott. Hate the east division. 

MBT tests negative before the game and will play, what do you think are the chances he tests positive tomorrow 😉

Honestly he is way less of a CV-19 threat than ******* Masoli (the burden on society).

He was put in a terrible spot by his employer and it would have been a crime if he couldn't play.

Time to play ball.

You're just straight business today. 

I would be lying if I said I wasn't starting to engorge a little bit, myself.

This game is as "Sold Out" as was last weeks game in Stinkville

Tabbies dodge a BIG bullet there. 

Judge cost the Argos an early int. and great field position

Best looking unis in pro sports and it isn't even close.

All these empty seat which were sold. It's a pity... But the atmosphere is electric.

Lotsa undisciplined penalties.  

Good start for the Argos but a TD was needed on that series

Really conflicted about this game. Tradition says a Bomber-TiCat Grey Cup would be a classic but a Toronto win today might spur sales there.

The Bombers have the best looking uniform in football. 

You guys have practice jerseys.

Glad to see the good atmosphere though! Appreciate the TO fans, it isn't easy to be one there.

That was some play not to lose ****.

Ti Cats are not in this game early, Argos moving the ball at will

Don't know if I've ever seen Steinauer so animated with the officials before. He's usually a cool cat, even in big games.

To me it looks like the Tabbies are over-eager and not playing with discipline.

Love JaGared Davis making the knockdown in the endzone.

You won’t get a lot of agreement on the Bomber site, but I will say Bomber home Blue and Gold and Argo road with the powder blue pants and numbers with white jerseys is easily the best uniform combo in the league. Would love to see that pairing next week in Steeltown. 

Some bend don’t break from the Tabbies early. Will Toronto regret those missed red zone opportunities by game’s end?

Agreed. If Davis had fallen on the receiver, they would have needed a spatula to remove him.
