My gawd I miss Winnipeg when I hear this. Living in 'Berta its hard to hear a balanced view on society. I love you Winnipeg. I love the bombers and our fans.

MOTHER F***IN' GAME DAY WE ALL PLAY!!!!! Corny better be wearing one of Rich Stubler's diapers tonight. He's gonna have nightmares of 2Jeff2Furious for weeks....

Cool thing, my daughters nurse yesterday is part of the reffing crew for tonight’s Bomber game. I told him to watch the holding on Willie lol

Another nice little nugget is them talking about coaching. How Mos leaves the locker room and its leadership to the players. And walby talks about how cal very seldom came into the locker room. And when he did it was to sit with the OL, drink, and just talk after wins. And how great it was for them to get to know him as a person, beyond just being their coach. Mos and Cal are very much cut from the same cloth. Mos is the perfect player coach in the modern era imo.

If any one is interested we could do it and make it look nice.

I don't think they'll lose to the Elks while Harris is out. Not with the Jeffs putting heat on a green QB... If there is a trap game coming up - I think it'll be against game wrecker Reilly in BC...

I don't like that a Bomber alum is promoting murder on twitter. Classless, a black mark on this team I love so dearly. Rush should be ashamed, honestly. (/s for you humorless folks) I found the tweet that triggered this whole thing, by the way: No mention of actually beating anyone up, but the implication is obviously there... oh well, some of those aggressive anti-vaxxers blocking entryways and screaming at patients could use a shot to the jaw

Covid situation here keeping us from going to the game. Have to settle for wings and nachos on the couch. Go Blue!

Go Bombers! Going to go in the car soon to drive up the highway to Edmonton to enjoy some fall football for the first time in forever. Go get em Champs!

Worth listening to even just for the opening mini story by walby, its about 1 minute long.

That cross bar is talking **** to Cody right now Yeah you throw away from the cross bar. You don't want that smoke, Cody

I'm sitting here by myself and ive already passed the attendance of an argo game

Whole heartedly support Rush in this and would offer the same thing.

Yup, everyone sings from the same songbook. On that note, I hope the Bombers are 1-0 this week.

This is obviously his team. The players take on his demeanor and qualities. Diligent, disciplined, quietly confident, and smart. Even WJ5 isn’t over the top.

Ha, what are the odds? Good job planting the holding seed. Hope all is well with your daughter.

6 -1 here we come is going to have a tough night

I feel like I could have written this. Rural AB has absolutely destroyed me from the inside out.......

If TSN came to my house and kicked me between the legs, I would be in less pain than listening to Dumb and Dumber.

Bomber fans, tonight, are more passionate about the Argos, than Argo fans are.

So tonight is the first game in the toilet bowl that requires double vaccination or a negative test, probably the smallest crowd since they opened

This^ His animal rescue work alone has made a lifelong fan out of me. True gem.

John Rush is a Goddamned Saint. On top of the things mentioned here, he saved the Grey Cup from a hotel fire in Kenora!

I'm not really worried about the white supremacists. If they're going to block access for cancer patients to attend their appointments, I have no problem with someone escorting them in. If they get violent, that's on them.

He also got vaxxed in a wedding dress and raised money/awareness of transgender rights and issues. Makes me very proud that he's a Bomber alum.

We will see. If they can prevent explosion plays to Burnham & Co. we will win. If they let Reilly buy time too often...there could be trouble... He can make you pay - no matter how good you are.

Yeah great listen so far, the best pre game show from them imo. You can win fast. Creating culture is a bit slower. Since 16 mos is the best leader in the league and its not even close. You can argue other coaches for Xs and Os and what ever else but over all leadership no one is with in a mile of him. Several years ago (Im thinking hes talking ray or SJ green.) 60k housing budget for the year.

I don’t think this version of the Bombers will fall into a trap, but there’s just something about BC Place..so many goofy games there in this Bomber era.

went to bed at the half...looks like i didn't miss much. Ugh. I hate when I have to include a Riders win in my newscast.....

Man Suitor shoukd just shut up...Canadian air force? They have one Canadian reciever who has shown good stuff...kids a beast...the rest have done squat...trying to make something out of nothing

pessimist

I hate these back to back games.

Suitor agrees with every single penalty that Toronto takes and says quote, "there was no pass interference there" when Sask gets called for interference. I legitimately can't believe he's allowed to do these games.

Suitor not calling for a DQ???

Riders are godawful and the Argos are worse. Only the RedBlacks look on in amazement.

The Bombers could play both these teams at the same timewith no quarterback and whup ‘em.

Not "deafening" enough to drown out suitor's constant rider orgasms.

"Deafening". 🙄

Argos arent used to playing in front of crowds this small

but the riders will suck tomorrow, and every day after

Bunch of idiots on that team

**** this game is making me so angry. Purifoy is such a clown... It's fitting he had that mask on when they came on the field.

I'm as nervous as anyone but the Bombers experience at IG Field had been good. No spikes after any of the games so far.

Time to load BLM in the trailer and stop by the nearest glue factory.

Well sir.... I just tuned in and would like to say that I was maybe wrong about how this game would turn out...........

Bo Levi, more like No Levi amirite?

Starting to look like the TiCats might pull this one off.

Dear lord Calgary is hot garbage

It is ******* hilarious that someone is questioning the integrity of a guy like Rush, whose charitable contributions to Winnipeg and Manitoba are near legend, as detailed in this thread. Jesus Christ, some people...

Geez I miss this guy.....not as a former Argo owner but as a comic and his style of comedy....Not enough John Candy's around anymore
