🔮 The 8-6 Argos, who have already locked up a home playoff date, will need that physicality Friday night on the road against an equally punishing Winnipeg Blue Bombers team.
🔮 Four teams will compete in a 3-on-3 tournament format that will be broadcast on TSN and Radio Canada (French), while Scripps Sports will provide the coverage for American fans on ION.
🔮 The Argonauts hope to keep their winning ways going when they host the Edmonton Elks on Saturday, an afternoon tilt that will mark an important milestone for one Toronto player.
🔮 You also never know who might be inspired by your journey, which is part of the reason why the seven-time Olympic medallist greenlit “On Track with Andre De Grasse,” which premieres next Saturday on CBC Gem.
🔮 The return of Kawhi Leonard to Toronto was going to bump up interest for the Raptors tickets anyway, but one night in particular will cost fans a lot of money if they want to watch at Scotiabank Arena.
