Fans of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers are happy to concede after a crushing loss to the Toronto Argonauts on Sunday.

The Argonauts beat reigning champions Bombers 24-23 to win the 109th Gray Cup.

Bob Irving, who voiced the Bombers on 680 CJOB for over 50 years, tweeted, “Give credit to Argos. They triumph.”

The gray Cup 109 has a lot to offer and is a painful loss for a bomber. Much of it needs to be avoided if you want to be held accountable, but give Argos credit. they have won.
