DB Tarvarus McFadden and K Lirim Hajrullahu have both been named East Division All-Stars. This list could easily include guys like Nicastro, Coxie and Herslow, but when you're a five-win team, it's more difficult to take the attention from others around the league. #Argos #CFL

Beaming with pride tonight as my wife was inducted into the McMaster Sports Hall of Fame - honoured for guiding the Marauders to the 2000 OUA title and 2001 national championship. It was awesome to see her whole team back together again to celebrate!

Here's how Toronto will suit up in Calgary. I've been waiting to see Brevin Allen all year - he dresses at DE, and Tieide is in at wideout. The Argos are also dressing two long snappers, two kickers, and a punter.

POSTGAME REACTION: The Argos fell 27–22 in BC in yet another game they could have won. The OL struggled, the offence couldn’t finish drives, and three INTs only turned into three points. Herslow, Mital & Hajrullahu shone, but it wasn’t enough. youtu.be/uSQ4mXVfZC8 #Argos #CFL

Here’s the injury and availability report for Toronto as they head to B.C. Arbuckle is available, as is Kemp. Herdman-Reed’s absence will hurt as he’s been a special teams beast. It’s a short injury list, but don’t forget they’ve got 13 guys on the six-game. #Argos #BCLions #CFL

POSTGAME REACTION: The defence came up huge with 3 sacks and 3 INTs, and special teams shined, but in the end, Jarret Doege’s last drive ended with a controversial interception with the Argos in long field goal range. We break it all down. youtu.be/bz7V5HopG_g #Argos #CFL
